In this video, our global lead pastor, @Pastor Shola Okodugha, teaches how to recognize and overcome spiritual drought - a prolonged season of restlessness, dissatisfaction, inconsistency in spiritual devotion, and a feeling that your spiritual expression has become empty. Like the valley of dry bones, you may still have movement around you but feel disconnected from the life and power of God.Pastor Shola explains that adaptability can make us settle for what we have instead of pursuing the fullness of what God has prepared for us. When God wants to move a person forward, He often places knowledge in their path. Psalm 13:3 highlights the importance of having our eyes opened to see. Knowledge becomes a key because not every key opens every door - the right key must be identified and applied.He further identifies mercy, grace, favour, God's justice system, and knowledge as ways God reaches His people during seasons of drought. Spiritual drought can manifest as emptiness, disconnection from God, loss of spiritual expression, and a lack of results.Drawing from Amos 8:13, Leviticus 26:20, Exodus 17:1 - 3, and Psalm 63:1 - 2, Pastor Shola wraps up the teaching by indicating that drought can affect different areas of life, including the spiritual and material. Just as rain requires vaporization, condensation, and collection, fruitfulness also requires processes and participation.This message will help you:- Recognize the signs and causes of spiritual drought.- Identify the knowledge and spiritual keys needed for your season.- Break free from spiritual emptiness and disconnection.- Position yourself to experience God's mercy, grace, favor, and power.- Refuse to settle for less than God's intended fullness.Watch, reflect, and ask God to open your eyes to see. Drought is not your permanent condition - discover the right key, respond to God, and step into a season of refreshing and fruitfulness.ABOUT THE NEWWe are a people of love and excellence who are result-oriented, spirit-led, word-rooted, prayer-driven, and kingdom-conscious.

In this video, our global lead pastor  @okodughaolushola  teaches that faith is the foundation of the Christian life and that true faith expresses itself through complete dependence on God. We received Christ by faith, and every dimension of our walk with Him continues by faith. Without faith, it is impossible to please God.Drawing from Genesis 2:5-6, Mark 11:23, Genesis 8:22, and 1 Chronicles 29:1–25, Pastor Shola explains that giving is a supernatural law established by God. Seedtime and harvest remain a divine principle, and generosity is one of the ways believers demonstrate their trust in God. Faith-based Christianity is not merely believing—it is acting on God's Word through obedience and sacrifice.The message emphasizes that giving is an act of faith, not just generosity. As seen in Proverbs 11:24, Proverbs 22:9, and 2 Corinthians 8:2-4, God honours cheerful and sacrificial giving. When believers faithfully sow into God's purposes, they position themselves to experience His provision and abundant harvest.This message will help you:- Develop absolute dependence on God through faith.- Understand giving as a spiritual law of faith.- Practice generosity as an expression of trust in God.- Live a faith-based Christianity marked by obedience and sacrifice.Watch, reflect, and let your faith be seen through your obedience. As you trust God with your seed, He remains faithful to bring forth the harvest in His time.ABOUT THE NEWWe are a people of love and excellence who are result-oriented, spirit-led, word-rooted, prayer-driven, and kingdom-conscious.

In this video, our global lead pastor,  @okodughaolushola  opens the sermon by identifying the four ways the devil attacks the believer, through covenant, distractions, disobedience, and ignorance. Drawing from Ephesians 4:18, he emphasises that in the spirit realm, ignorance of the Word is not an excuse.What Does It Mean to Believe?From 1 John 5:4, Pastor Shola establishes that the nature of sin introduced unbelief into humanity. What positions you to see the glory of God is simply this, believe. Belief operates on three levels:- The acknowledgement of God's existence- Confidence in Him- Trust and reliance on HimDrawing from Hebrews 11:7–9, Romans 4:3, and Genesis 22:1, Abraham's faith becomes the defining example. Abraham believed God and it was counted as righteousness. Belief is seeing in what you say. Romans 4:17 anchors this, faith speaks.The Faith of AbrahamPastor Shola indicates that Abraham's faith is marked by three powerful statements:- He declared that he and his son would both return, speaking the outcome before it happened- He declared that the Lord would provide, trusting God's provision in the absence of evidence- He believed against hope, holding on when there was nothing natural to hold on toPastor Shola wraps up the message by indicating that Abraham did not anchor his faith on a supernatural experience. He held on to what God told him. You cannot access the blessing of Abraham with the faith of Thomas.The Proof That You Believe shows up in:How you think, What you say, How you see life and circumstances and What you do.The power of faith is found in the community of faith. Faith is taking what God told you and returning it to Him in days of trouble. The Word of God is faith. Do not be a Christian without weapons, the Word is your weapon, and the earth is your territory.This message will help you:- Identify and close the doors the enemy uses to gain access to your life- Move from a surface level belief to a deep, anchored faith in God's Word- Speak and act like Abraham, believing beyond what is naturally visibleWatch, reflect, and refuse to move from what God has spoken over your lifeABOUT THE NEWWe are a people of love and excellence who are result-oriented, spirit-led, word-rooted, prayer-driven, and kingdom-conscious.

In this message, our global lead pastor  @okodughaolushola  teaches that while God is the source of wealth, its manifestation requires wisdom, competence, and action. Divine wealth is not produced by prayer alone but by applying God's principles and positioning yourself to seize opportunities.Drawing from Deuteronomy 8:17, Exodus 12:36, Isaiah 60:5, and Matthew 25:2, Pastor Shola explains that God has a reward system and a law of predictable outcomes. Wealth transfer happens when believers combine faith with wisdom, skill, and diligence. It is not enough to be spiritual; we must also be competent and visible. Pastor Shola wraps up the message by emphasizing that opportunities are everywhere, but only those who can see and act on them will benefit. Believers are called to follow the laws that govern the earth while superimposing the laws of the Spirit through faith. Miracles have their place, but God expects us to work, build capacity, and position ourselves for increase. This message will help you: - Understand God's principles for creating wealth.- Combine faith with wisdom, competence, and action.- Recognize and maximize opportunities around you.- Build visibility and position yourself for influence and increase.Watch, reflect, and refuse to wait passively for miracles. Apply God's principles, take action, and position yourself for the wealth He has prepared for you.Stay ConnectedSubscribe to the latest content: http://bit.ly/subscribethenewliveWebsite: http://wearethenew.org/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wearethenew_global/#TheNewLive #SholaOkodugha

In this message, our global lead pastor, Pastor  @okodughaolushola  teaches that divine acceleration happens when we recognize and respond to God's appointed moments. Many people remain in delay not because God has forgotten them, but because they fail to discern their season. Breakthroughs are often quiet, yet they change everything.Drawing from Luke 19:41 - 44, Genesis 1:14, Ephesians 5:15, and Psalm 102:13, Pastor Shola explains the difference between Chronos (measured time) and Kairos (God's appointed moment). While everyone is given time, transformation comes when we recognize and act in our kairos moments. Throughout Scripture, lives were changed in a single moment because people responded in faith.The message also emphasizes that seasons can change. Prophecies do not fulfill themselves - they require willing participants. God responds to faith-filled action. Mercy can restore lost time, while favour can position you ahead of time. When you begin to move in obedience, God begins to move on your behalf.This message will help you:- Discern God's timing and recognize your kairos moments.- Understand the difference between Chronos and Kairos.- Position yourself for divine acceleration and season change.- Respond to God's leading with faith and decisive action.Watch, reflect, and refuse to miss your moment. As you move in faith, God can turn your night into day and accelerate you into His purpose.BROADCAST DETAILSMinister: Pastor Shola OkodughaDate: Sunday 12th july, 2026——Stay ConnectedSubscribe to the latest content: http://bit.ly/subscribethenewliveWebsite: http://wearethenew.org/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wearethenew_global/#TheNewLive #SholaOkodugha

"Growth happens when you're uncomfortable, because you push yourself into things you wouldn't normally do." — Dr. Shola SulaimonThere's a kind of tiredness that comes from being everything to everyone — and never quite getting around to asking what fills your own cup. For Dr. Shola Sulaimon, that question sat quietly for almost 20 years before she finally let herself answer it.In this episode, Dr. Shola shares what it was like being the first Black woman PhD student in her program, the quiet weight of representing more than herself in corporate America, and the slow internal pull that eventually led her to step away from nearly two decades of corporate leadership. We talk about the difference between being nice and being kind, what it means to leave something on your own terms, and why finding an outlet outside of work and family might be the thing that saves you.If you've ever wondered whether it's safe to want something different than what you built, this one's for you.

She's now building Voice to Value, a Sonoma County community and coaching space for professional women centered on leadership, mentorship, and helping women find the confidence to speak up in rooms where they once stayed quiet.WebsiteLinkedInSupport the show

Fusion: How To Receive The Breath of God | Pastor Shola OkodughaOpening from Isaiah 60:22, Pastor Shola Okodugha introduces the theme of Fusion, the process of combining distinct elements into a single un ified whole. Like different notes coming together to produce one distinct sound, or atomic nuclei colliding to release enormous energy, fusion speaks of what happens when God brings things together for His purpose.Drawing from Ezekiel 37:1–14, one prayer we must continually pray is for knowledge and revelation "that we may know," that the eyes of our understanding would be enlightened. The way you know the hand of the Lord is upon you is by the situations you find yourself in. The signs are chaos, things not working when they should. And when there are signs that things might change but still aren't moving, that is the noise before the breakthrough.If only you knew there was more, you would not settle for what you have already received.From Hebrews 11:3, he reminds us that some situations require a second touch. Even though God has made promises, we must fight from victory, not from defeat. If you are not willing to contend, you are not willing to have. And just because you have not yet seen the outcome does not mean it has not already happened in the spirit.The bones in Ezekiel came together, but they were not yet living. God formed man, but he was not yet alive until God breathed into him. Referencing John 20:21–22, Psalm 33:6, Job 26:13, Job 33:8, Psalm 18:14, Job 4:9, and Isaiah 11:4, Pastor Shola establishes that the breath of God may be the only thing missing in a person's life.How to Receive the Breath of God:1. Enter into intercession for the sector or area you are called into, go into the gap.2. Read the Word until you are quickened by itThis message will help you:- Recognise the signs of God's hand at work even in seasons of chaos.- Contend for the fullness of what God has promised you.- Understand that the outcome has already happened, keep pressing.- Position yourself to receive the breath of God through intercession and the Word.- Watch, reflect, and allow God to breathe life into every dry and dormant thing in your life.——ABOUT THE NEWWe are a people of love and excellence who are result-oriented, spirit-led, word-rooted, prayer-driven, and kingdom-conscious.

Opening from Genesis and the story of Noah, Pastor Shola Okodugha teaches that God is deeply intentional about everything He builds, and that same intentionality is required of us in building the visions He has placed in our hearts.The real question is not whether you have a vision, but how you will fulfil it. Every great accomplishment requires faith, obedience, and the willingness to build according to God's pattern. Noah became the blueprint, building exactly as God instructed, despite resistance, uncertainty, and the cost attached to it.Five Things Needed to Build Your Vision:• Build according to the pattern God has shown you — do not deviate from His blueprint• Build with the right foundation — consistency in devotion, doctrinal clarity, faithfulness to your local church, generosity, and purity of heart• Build with structure — vision without structure remains a dream• Invite people into the ark — no God-given vision is built alone• Build in sacrifice — every lasting vision carries the scars of sacrificeThis message will help you:• Move from simply having a vision to intentionally building it• Strengthen your faith as the foundation for everything God has called you to do• Create structure that supports your assignment• Embrace sacrifice as part of the process of buildingWatch, reflect, and begin to build according to the pattern, with the right people, and at whatever cost obedience requires.ABOUT THE NEWWe are a people of love and excellence who are result-oriented, spirit-led, word-rooted, prayer-driven, and kingdom-conscious.

In this episode, Tommy sits down with Shola Richards, known as The Kindness Extremist and Brother Teresa, to talk about what kindness actually looks like when life gets hard. Shola shares his story of moving from bullying, burnout, and a near tragic moment on an LA freeway to building a global mission around freakishly practical kindness. The conversation gets into the real difference between niceness and kindness, how to handle the toxic people in your life, and why the hardest person to be kind to is usually yourself.What You'll Hear in This Episode:Why kindness takes more courage than most people realizeShola's story of being highly sensitive, bullied, and burned out, and the moment that redirected his lifeThe clear difference between being nice and being kindSix warning signs of a truly toxic person versus someone just having a bad dayThe Just Like Me practice for staying open when you would normally judgeWhy forgiveness is an act of kindness toward yourself, not the person who hurt youA simple courtroom framework for cross-examining your own negative self-talkBox breathing, knowing your triggers, and other tools for staying responsive instead of reactiveTimestamps: (0:00) Intro(4:01) Shola's Story(8:28) Making kindness freakishly practical (14:05) Why kindness takes real courage (16:30) Niceness vs kindness (19:00) Six warning signs of a toxic person (26:23) Are we part of the flood (29:18) The 'Just Like Me' practice (33:24) What forgiveness really means (42:25) Boundaries as a backdoor kindness (45:47) Turning kindness toward yourself (49:29) The courtroom of the mind (55:47) Where to find SholaResources / Next Steps:Shola's website, thesholarichards.comThe Kindness Extremist PodcastShola on Substack and LinkedInCivil Unity by Shola RichardsGo Together Global

Opening from Isaiah 60:22, Pastor Shola Okodugha establishes a foundational truth, you did not come to the earth by accident. God was intentional with the operations of the earth, and you came here for a destiny-defined purpose. There is a reason you are here.You must begin to see yourself as deeply significant before God, what He is doing in your life is a priority, not an afterthought.Drawing from Ezekiel 12:22 and Joel 2:28, he highlights that one of the key outcomes of the outpouring of the Spirit is the ability to see visions. The potency of a vision is tied to time,there is an allocated season to deliver it, so it can be passed on to the next generation.What is a Vision? • A divine blueprint etched in the core of your being • A map God has given you to navigate life with purpose and direction • A security that keeps you from drifting aimlessly • The fuel that ignites your passion, zeal, and potential • The joy that keeps you going, knowing your present situation cannot override your future • A divine calling that guides every action and decision you make • The ability to see a life filled with possibilities and run toward it with confidence • Something that shapes not just your future, but gives hope to those around you • A guard against mediocrity and compromise • The assurance that your journey is the fulfilment of something greaterTypes of VisionsNot every vision carries the same origin. Visions can come from God, from self-desire, from dissatisfaction born out of frustration and delay, from retaliation, from the world's systems, or from the enemy. Discernment is essential.Vision is the ability to see the invisible and make it possible. The beauty of a vision is that it comes with transitions. The power of a vision is what keeps you going on the hardest days — it is a bittersweet feeling, but it is fuel. And when vision truly takes hold, time becomes a priority.This message will help you: • Understand that your life is intentional and purpose-driven • Identify and clarify the vision God has placed within you • Discern the true source of the vision you are carrying • Walk with confidence knowing your journey is the fulfilment of something greaterWatch, reflect, and allow God to birth and clarify the vision He has already placed inside you.ABOUT THE NEWWe are a people of love and excellence who are result-oriented, spirit-led, word-rooted, prayer-driven, and kingdom-conscious.

Opening from Isaiah 60:22 and Habakkuk 2:2–3, Pastor Shola Okodugha builds on the vision of exponential increase with three non-negotiables: an intense run, appropriate strategies, and oneness in spirit and commitment to the price required.Every vision must have a strategy. Strategy is what aids the accomplishment of the vision. The problem for many is not the vision itself, it is the how. One of the most powerful things God can give a man is the strategies to make Isaiah 60:22 come to pass in his life.Favour is not the inability to predict an outcome; it is the ability to predict it. And your ability to see clearly will help you hasten the process.The congregation then went into an intense session of prayer.This message will help you: • Move beyond vision into the strategies that bring it to pass • Understand that favour gives you foresight, not just fortune • Sharpen your ability to see so you can accelerate the process • Pay the price required to go from one to a thousandWatch, reflect, and begin to ask God not just for the vision, but for the strategy to run withABOUT THE NEWWe are a people of love and excellence who are result-oriented, spirit-led, word-rooted, prayer-driven, and kingdom-conscious.

In this powerful teaching, Deacon Busayo explores what it truly means when God moves. The move of God is His divine system at work, advancing His agenda without gaps or limitations. It is how God enforces His will, covers spiritual ground, and brings alignment across people, systems, and generations.When God moves, protocols are suspended. Tradition, structure, and human order give way to divine purpose. In the move of God, everything and everyone works together to fulfill His plan. No one is excluded; every believer becomes a candidate for what God is doing.This message challenges us to let go of familiarity and positioning and instead yield fully to the Spirit, recognizing that when God moves, nothing remains the same.ABOUT THE NEWWe are a people of love and excellence who are result-oriented, spirit-led, word-rooted, prayer-driven, and kingdom-conscious.

In this Service, our global lead pastor, Pastor Shola Okodugha, starts the teaching by talking about the meaning of Friendship. 1 Samuel 19:4 and indicated that Jonathan gave David five things in friendship: Jonathan gave David his:Robe - Vulnerability Tunic - Priesthood Sword - protectionBow - Long termBelt - TruthHe indicates further that friendship isn't always easy, it can be sweet and it can be bitter. Pastor Shola teaches on the sacredness and depth of true friendship through the covenant bond between Jonathan and David.Jonathan laid aside his royal status to stand vulnerable before David, showing us that real friendship is built on purity, openness, and trust. While outsiders may misunderstand you, a true friend knows your heart. Friendship requires vulnerability, and without learning friendship, it's impossible to build healthy relationships.Drawing from Scripture, this teaching depicts the powerful symbols Jonathan gave David:The Sword (Ephesians 6:17) which was not just a weapon, but a reminder that what you carry spiritually should be used to defend and protect your friend.The Bow which represents long-range strength, endurance, and depth in friendship.The Belt which is a symbol of truth, because lasting friendships are held together by honesty.He concludes the message by stating that if someone doesn't value relationships, they will never truly value friendship. This message calls us back to loyalty, truth, spiritual covering, and covenant love - the kind of friendship that reflects God's heart.Watch, be blessed, and learn what it means to be, and to have, a true friend.#sholaokodugha #christiansermon #friendship #friendshipgoals #biblicalprinciples #christianteaching #wearethenew #thenewchurch ABOUT THE NEWWe are a people of love and excellence who are result-oriented, spirit-led, word-rooted, prayer-driven, and kingdom-conscious.
