    BIBLE STUDY| MIRACLES OF JESUS SERIES.|THE FOURTH MIRACLE OF JESUS pt.57| THE FEEDING OF 5,000 MEN WITH 5 LOAVES OF BREAD AND 2 FISHES| CHIMDI OHAHUNA Welcome to another episode of our Bible study series, "The Miracles of Jesus," where we consider deeply the profound teachings and wonders performed by Christ. In this episode, we explore the concept found in 1 Corinthians 12:10, which reminds us that God has a prelude for His voice—when He chooses to speak, it is with clarity and precision. In our corporate gatherings, we believe that the purpose of coming together is for edification. It’s a time for us to build each other up, strengthen our faith, and grow in our understanding of God's word. This episode emphasizes how each encounter serves to enrich our spiritual lives through various gifts and revelations. We will utilize influential Bible commentaries to deepen our understanding, including insights from Albert Barnes, Joseph Benson, John Gill, the Cambridge Bible, and the Robertson World Picture. Together, these resources will guide our exploration and help illuminate the scriptures. One of the intriguing topics we tackle is the idea of unknown tongues. While these tongues may not be a common language to us, interpreting them is a spiritual gift that enriches our gatherings. We speak to ourselves in church settings for the purpose of mutual edification, focusing on delivering messages of revelation, knowledge, prophecy, and sound doctrine. It’s important to recognize that sometimes ignorance can stem from a deliberate choice to overlook the abundant knowledge around us. Join us as we confront these themes head-on and seek to understand how God’s miracles speak to us today. Tune in for an enlightening teaching that promises to both challenge and inspire as we study the miracles of Jesus and their relevance in our lives.

    THE BOOK OF RUTH| GOD’S RESTORATION PLAN| Preservation and Prospective Living| Discipleship |Session-24| 2025| CHIMDI OHAHUNA Podcast Description: "Ruth Series: The Lord Deal Kindly with You - The Power of Prayer and Preservation" Welcome to the latest episode of our RUTH Series, where we explore the Bible text in Ruth 1:8b: “The Lord deal kindly with you...” In this powerful teaching episode, we examine the life of Naomi, a remarkable example of a woman of prayer whose faith and intercession shaped the destinies of those around her. This teaching illustrates the pivotal role of prayer in establishing personal preservation before we can extend our strength to others. Drawing insights from 2 Chronicles 20, we emphasize that prayer is not merely a ritual but a vital connection with God—our eternal need as children of God. Discover how praying for our own preservation is crucial, as it empowers us to support those who are weak, stemming from a place of strength. Throughout this episode, we’ll clarify key scriptures such as Genesis 28:1-3, Acts 20:36, and 1 Thessalonians 5:17, demonstrating that the act of prayer preempts prominence in our lives. We’ll also reflect on the idea that God, the Merciful Rewarder, rewards us according to the love and compassion we extend to others, highlighting the importance of sincere, heartfelt prayer in our relationships. As we reflect on Matthew 6:12, discover the responsibility of parents to continually pray for their children, understanding that our prayers hold immense power in shaping futures. Also discover why “Do-me, I-do-you” is not the divine reward system, and how only God knows our true needs, providing satisfaction beyond what any worldly exchange can offer. Inconsistency in our deeds can hinder the spiritual support we receive from others. However, by committing to do good, live well, and be steadfast in our faith, we invite a cycle of consistent prayer in accordance Ecclesiastes 5:4-5. Finally, discover the tendency to measure others by our own standards and explore the divine perspective that only God possesses. Instead of reciprocating obligations based on superficial judgments, the scriptures encourages us to engage in earnest prayer for those who bless us and seek God’s empowerment to act out of genuine love and kindness. Get ready for an engaging and transformative teaching filled with biblical wisdom, practical insights, and heartfelt encouragement. Tune in to deepen your understanding of prayer as a profound act of faith, and discover how to cultivate a consistent prayer life that not only preserves you but uplifts and strengthens those around you.

  • BEYOND THE MEETING:: How You Can Leave a Lasting Impact

    BEYOND THE MEETING:: How You Can Leave a Lasting Impact
    2025/06/30
    THE BOOK OF RUTH| GOD’S RESTORATION PLAN| Preservation and Prospective Living| Discipleship |Session-21| 2025| CHIMDI OHAHUNA Welcome to the latest episode on the Study of the Book of Ruth. In this episode, we examine the profound truth found in Ruth 1:7: Encounter determines people's conviction about God. We ask ourselves an essential question—what do people encounter when they meet you? This episode emphasizes the crucial relationship between encounters and revelation. Just as the baptism of Jesus and His transfiguration on the mount provided significant revelations, our interactions can leave lasting impressions that shape others’ perceptions of God. When we reflect the life of Christ, those around us should feel that a part of us remains with them long after our time together. We address the connections between helplessness and fear, highlighting how revealing the true nature of God leads to genuine revelation rather than condemnation. When individuals meet you, they should feel they are encountering God. These divine encounters encourage a deeper acceptance and foster a progressive journey of faith centered on an increasing revelation of Christ. The experiences of Ruth and Oprah serve as powerful illustrations in this context. Both women had significant encounters with God through Naomi, yet their responses to these experiences were distinct. This distinction raises an important consideration: while we may have similar encounters, our individual responses can determine whether we advance from simply "follow me" to the transformative question, "lovest thou me?" In concluding this teaching episode, we emphasize that the question "lovest thou me?" is vital for preserving our work before God in the end. How we present Jesus shapes how those around us understand Him. Join us for this enlightening teaching session that encourages meaningful encounters and challenges you to reflect on your impact in the lives of others. Let’s engage in this rich study of faith, conviction, and the revelations that arise from our encounters with the God. Don’t miss it!

    YOUR NEST OF REST: The Journey from Temporary to Eternal Provision
    2025/06/25
    THE BOOK OF RUTH| GOD’S RESTORATION PLAN| Preservation and Prospective Living| Discipleship |Session-20| 2025| CHIMDI OHAHUNA Welcome back to the GRACELIFECOMI podcast! In this week’s enlightening episode, Pastor Chimdi Ohahuna presents a fresh perspective on the profound themes found within the Book of Ruth. Drawing from Ruth 1:7, unraveling themes of rest, provision, and divine guidance. Join us in this session as we explore the pivotal moments in Ruth's journey and discover how they resonate deeply with our own lives today. Key Lessons Unpacked in This Episode: - The Journey from Moab to Bethlehem (Ruth 1:7): We open with the narrative of Ruth as she leaves her home in Moab to embrace the land of Bethlehem—the house of bread. We discuss the symbolism of this shift and its importance in our spiritual journeys, emphasizing the call to abandon worldly comforts for divine provision. - A Legacy of Faith (Job 29:18): Reflecting on the fate of Joseph, who requested that his bones be transported to Canaan, we illustrate the importance of not resting in temporary circumstances. No matter where you are in life, stay committed to your divine calling, knowing that true rest comes from God. - The True Meaning of Rest: Insights from Hebrews 10 remind us that God invites us into His rest, which transcends any earthly provision. In a world where distractions abound, we discuss the necessity of maintaining our rest in Christ amidst trials and temptations. - The Role of Seasons and Isolation: We explore the concept of being in a cave or a season of isolation. In these moments, God often prepares us for greater things. It's during these challenging times that we can truly understand what it means to depend wholly on Him, demonstrating that rest often disguises itself in discomfort. - The Distinction Between Worldly Bread and the Bread of Life: Drawing parallels between the bread offered by the world and the Bread of Life, we address the crucial understanding that not all 'food' nurtures our souls. Only the Bread found in divine rest can sustain us, while worldly provisions lead to temporary satisfaction. - Fellowship and Spiritual Provision: We dive into the significance of prayer and fellowship—not merely to meet physical needs but to address deeper spiritual hunger. Understanding this shifts our perspective on what it means to truly be fulfilled. - Resolute Patience and Spiritual Growth: Encourage patience within yourself and your journey. Trust that God is at work in your rest, and that He will provide what you need in His perfect timing. - The Power of Prophecy: We touch on Bethlehem's prophetic significance as the land of David and ultimately Christ. We remind listeners that standing firm on God’s promises equips us to withstand battles until those prophecies come to fruition. Throughout this episode, we emphasize that true joy and comfort can only be found in God's rest. We intersperse personal insights and testimonies, inviting you to reflect on your own experiences in relation to Ruth's journey and the overarching message of redemption and provision. Tune in to explore how to remain anchored in divine rest, recognizing that the essence of the Bread of Life is vital in our pursuit of fulfillment.
