REVIVE US Series| Chimdi Ohahuna| A CALL FOR PERSONAL REVIVAL. Welcome to yet another 'Revive us' podcast series, where we delve into the world of education and learning beyond the traditional classroom setting. In this episode, we explore the idea that the most educated people in life are not necessarily those who have attended prestigious universities or hold multiple degrees. Instead, we argue that the greatest literates of all are those who possess the ability to continuously learn, unlearn, and relearn. History has shown us that Christianity played a significant role in the economic boom of America. However, when we look at Africa, the story is quite different. If we are not experiencing the same level of economic success, it means that we have not fully understood the Christianity that was brought to us. This lack of understanding can be attributed to our ignorance in the Christian faiths, as we did not ask the right questions and continue to suffer as a result. But why do we need to pray for a revival? The answer is simple – we have been getting it wrong before. Revival is not about a new concept or belief, but rather about relearning about Jesus. When we call for a revival, we are essentially asking for a period of reopening our eyes and minds to the teachings of Jesus. As the Bible says, 'the eyes of your understanding being enlightened.' Revival is about gaining a new perspective and understanding of Jesus and His teachings. What makes a person great is not their location, but their allocation. It is not about where you are in the world, but rather the knowledge and information you possess. You can be in a small village and still have a global impact if you have the right allocation, even in that location. Your greatness is not determined by your surroundings, but by the information you have access to. There is no success in any particular location; success is within individuals. It is within you. It is only when we relearn the principles of the kingdom of God and Jesus that we can truly achieve success. The reason why the church is not as effective as it could be is that we do not know what Jesus knew, and we do not have the desire to learn. If we choose to understand the teachings of Jesus, the church will be on fire, and we will see a true revival. Our success and impact in the world are not determined by our education level or location, but by our willingness to gain knowledge and understanding of Jesus and His teachings. Let us strive to be the greatest literates by constantly seeking knowledge and relearning the principles of the kingdom of God. Now, listen to the full teaching.

BIBLE STUDY| MIRACLES OF JESUS SERIES.|THE FOURTH MIRACLE OF JESUS pt.8 | THE FEEDING OF 5,000 MEN WITH 5 LOAVES OF BREAD AND 2 FISHES| CHIMDI OHAHUNA. Welcome to this week's podcast, where we will be diving deep into the meaning and importance of soul-winning. In today's world, many people have a misconception about what it truly means to win souls. Some see it as a means to gain converts to a particular sect or religion. Others view it as a way to increase the numbers in their denomination. But the truth is, soul-winning is not about revealing a sect, a religion, or a group. It is about revealing Jesus. Jesus, through his life, himself, and his finished work on Calvary, acquired man for the Father God. He came to reconcile us to God, to bring us back into a right relationship with Him. And soul-winning is the means to reveal this truth to others. It is essential to understand that Christianity is not a religion. It is not about following a set of rules and regulations. It is about having a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. And that is why soul-winning is not about revealing Christianity. It is about revealing Jesus. When we reveal Jesus to others, we are not just sharing a set of beliefs or doctrines. We are introducing them to a person who has the power to transform their lives. And when Jesus is revealed, souls are won. This is because Jesus himself said, 'And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself' (John 12:32). When Jesus is glorified, the result is that people are drawn to the Father. That is why soul-winning is not something we do on our own. We are not the ones who win souls. It is Jesus who does the work. We are simply vessels used by Him to reveal Himself to others. And the amazing thing is that when we reveal Jesus, we also get to share in the blessings and benefits of soul-winning. Brethren, we have been given the task of soul-winning. It is not just a suggestion or an option; it is a command from Jesus himself. In the miracle of feeding the five thousand with five loaves and two fishes, we see not just a provision of food but also a powerful message of salvation and reconciliation. You see, this miracle was not just about the physical need for food. It was about Jesus reconciling humanity to God. And reconciliation encompasses evangelism, soul-winning, discipleship, and shepherding. It is not just about getting people saved; it is about leading them into a lifelong relationship with Jesus. As believers, we have the privilege and responsibility to reveal Jesus to those around us. We are called to be His witnesses, to share His love and truth with others. And as we do so, we will see the power of God at work, drawing souls to Himself. So, my friends, let us not just be content with sharing the gospel, but let us also reveal Jesus in all His glory. Let us allow Him to do the work of winning souls as we partner with Him in this great task. And as we do, we will not only see lives transformed, but we will also experience the joy, blessings, and benefits of revealing Jesus to the world. Now, listen in full to yet another session on the fourth miracles of Jesus.

GOSPEL CAMPAIGNS | A CALL FOR PERSONAL REVIVAL| CHIMDI M. OHAHUNA This podcast focuses on the concept of personal revival, with a particular emphasis on the role of Jesus Christ in our lives. This was an evangelistic teaching recently delivered to the locals on one of our mission field- Elmina, Central region, Ghana and thus translated to Fante. e The powerful statement in this teaching is that, 'Jesus did not die for you to have a car, have a husband, have a wife and so on.' It captured the attention of all listener and sets the tone for the rest of the teaching session. The teacher explained that if these material possessions and relationships were the reason for Jesus' sacrifice, then his death would have been in vain. He reminds listeners that before Jesus died, people were already getting married, having children, and building houses. So, if these things were possible without Jesus, what is the true reason for his death? The answer is simple yet profound – Jesus died for something that we cannot attain on our own. The host emphasizes that having money in our hands can help us acquire material possessions and get married, but it cannot give us the one thing that we truly need – eternal life. The Bible tells us that the wages of sin is death, and the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ. This is the core message of the podcast – that Jesus came to die for our sins and offer us the gift of eternal life. The host reminds us of the famous verse from John 3:16 – 'For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life.' This podcast episode delves into the idea that as human beings, we cannot save ourselves. We may have everything else in life, but without Jesus, we are still lacking the most crucial aspect of our existence – Eternal life. And this is something that we cannot achieve on our own, no matter how hard we try. The teacher emphasizes that we all need a savior, and that Savior is Christ Jesus. Through his death and resurrection, he has made it possible for us to have eternal life. This podcast episode encourages listeners to reflect on their own lives and ask themselves, 'What is it that I cannot do for myself? What is it that I cannot have of myself?' The answer is clear – Eternal Life. In a world where we are constantly bombarded with messages of materialism and the pursuit of happiness through external means, ' THERE IS WHAT YOU CANNOT HAVE OF YOURSELF' serves as a refreshing reminder of what truly matters in life – our relationship with Jesus and the promise of eternal life. In conclusion, ' THERE IS WHAT YOU CANNOT HAVE OF YOURSELF' is a thought-provoking and insightful Evangelistic teaching that births revival in individuals and reminds us of the true reason for Jesus' death and the ultimate gift that he has given us – the gift of eternal life. It challenges listeners to reflect on their own lives and encourages them to seek personal revival through a deeper connection with Jesus. So, if you are seeking spiritual growth and a renewed perspective on life, this podcast is a must-listen.

REVIVE US Series| Chimdi Ohahuna| A CALL FOR PERSONAL REVIVAL. The call for revival is always crucial. While some think the church needs awakening, constant arguments can strip Christian faith of its power. Remember, our faith stems from Jesus' death and resurrection, not debates. Let the spirit reign! The ministry of Jesus demonstrated the Holy Spirit's power. Excessive argumentation can strip this power from our faith, making it more theoretical, even with underlying theories. The Bible notes Jews seek signs, Greeks seek knowledge, yet Christ embodies both God's wisdom and power, offering a harmonious balance in the gospel. Without this equilibrium, the gospel loses its essence. We are currently in an era where practical individuals hold more value than mere theorists. While acquiring knowledge is beneficial, its true worth lies in its practical application. It is crucial that the knowledge we possess is not just theoretical but has the potential to lead to tangible outcomes, particularly in saving others. Referencing the story of Apostle Peter walking past the beautiful gate, his response to the man in need emphasizes the importance of offering practical assistance rather than mere material possessions. The church is getting more educated. There are more educated folks in church, more professors, more doctors, more academic luminaries; praise God. The church is having more money, but, with this money and education, what encounter is the church having with the Lord? Because the effect of our encounter will be seen in our society. If our society is still normal with all our education and our finances, then we are not having an encounter with the LORD. One person died for the sin of the whole world; Not the sin of his village. Why are we having problems enforcing his finished work? It means that there have been some mental(ity) errors. Christ saved the world and he put Himself in all who believe in Him thus, we are more than able. The disciples of Jesus and the early Church understood that there was something they had. Peter was very sure of Eternal life within him which was more rewarding and profitable than gold or silver. The question today is, do we even know what we are? Do we even know what we are? Listen to this episode and let's discover together the need for balancing the theoretical and practical aspects of the Christian faith.

BIBLE STUDY| MIRACLES OF JESUS SERIES.|THE FOURTH MIRACLE OF JESUS pt.7 | THE FEEDING OF 5,000 MEN WITH 5 LOAVES OF BREAD AND 2 FISHES| CHIMDI OHAHUNA. Mark 6:31-34. In this episode, the teacher's focus was on the question, Who are fishermen and what does their life and occupation entail? The work of reconciliation done by fishers of men is for others not for self. WE HAVE BEEN SAVED TO SERVE, serve in the capacity of fishers of Men. Once one is saved, he/ she is to get others saved too. And, this task begins from our Jerusalem - which is our immediate family and then to the uttermost part of the earth. As fishers of men, saints also have a responsibility to their environment both physically and spiritually. That was why we were left here by God after we got born again and not taken to heaven immediately. Jesus clearly told His disciples and by extension every born again child of God that He has sent us as sheep in the midst of wolves and we are in the world but not of this world. In every aspect of life, there is a divine responsibility entrusted to each individual by God – the task of cleaning and nourishing the environment. However, this responsibility extends beyond merely physical cleanliness and extends into the realm of spiritual redemption and transformation.

REVIVE US Series| Chimdi Ohahuna| THE PURPOSEFUL SHIFT IN PRAYER In this podcast episode, the Teaching Revivalist, Chimdi Ohahuna, delves deeper in his teaching aptly titled "Prophetic Destinations: Attracting God's Presence to Change a Locality". This teaching dives into the profound spiritual significance of locations. The host takes us on a journey through biblical landscapes, from the miracles at Cana of Galilee to the birth of Jesus in the "house of bread," Bethlehem. We explore how physical spaces hold deeper prophetic meanings and how we are placed precisely where we need to be for a spiritual purpose. Throughout this episode, you will discover the transition from secular professions to spiritual callings, reflecting on the powerful legacy of apostles like Peter, Andrew, James, and John. The teacher shares personal insights into the evolution from materialistic desires to an eternal perspective centered on the salvation of souls. You'll hear about the challenges of evangelism in specific locations and how spiritual warfare plays a crucial role in shaping these battlegrounds. We understand the strategy and mindset required to navigate and transform these environments into zones of redemption and spiritual growth. As we delve into tales of biblical figures, personal anecdotes, and evocative metaphors like the fisherman's immersion in prayer, we aim to encourage you to embrace the spiritual significance of your own space. Whether you're in a bustling city or a remote village, this episode is a call to focus on your role in the divine strategy, participate in collective prayer, and become an instrument in making your location a beacon of spiritual tourism for souls yearning for Jesus.

Venture with us to the shores of the "house of fish," Bethsaida, the pivotal location for the fourth miracle, where the calling to become "fishers of men" took on a deeper significance for Jesus' disciples. Chimdi Ohahuna shares not only scriptural insights but also personal experiences, reminding us that our faith is a way of life, a continuous journey of redemption and reconciliation. In this session, we also reflect on the evolution of soul-winning, from natural acoustics to harnessing modern advances like 5G and podcasting, emphasizing the need to engage with technology and new methods for spreading the Gospel. As we call to mind the simple yet powerful lessons from Jesus' birth in Bethlehem and consider the "Bethsaida move," let's rekindle our first love for our original calling. Whether you're near the waters or busy in the hustle of city life, we invite you to listen intently and join in our closing prayer, hoping it will encourage you to recommit to your holy purpose and impact the world as an effective 'fisherman' for Christ.

BIBLE STUDY| MIRACLES OF JESUS SERIES.|THE FOURTH MIRACLE OF JESUS pt.5 | THE FEEDING OF 5,000 MEN WITH 5 LOAVES OF BREAD AND 2 FISHES| CHIMDI OHAHUNA. Mark 6:31-34. Jesus, our great shepherd, and our ultimate example. He taught about the kingdom of God as the first step to spiritual leadership and guidance. His emphasis on this was to help us understand that the kingdom of God is within us, in our hearts. Jesus basically taught the kingdom of God. Learn from this Bible Study session, Why did Jesus teach the kingdom of God? Why was his emphasis on the kingdom of God? God's ideology is focused on the kingdom, which Jesus emphasized through his teachings. Christ Jesus dedicated three and a half years to teaching his disciples about the kingdom of God. Instead of solely prophesying or laying hands on them, He prioritized education. By imparting this knowledge, Jesus equipped his disciples to spread his message effectively, ultimately leading to a profound impact on the world for Christ. The icing on this session is that, as a Christian, whether you're an overseer or a servant, you must be apt to teach. In Christian practice, both overseers and servants need to be capable of teaching others. The core of demonstrating compassionate leadership guided by vision lies in providing spiritual guidance through teaching. The primary focus of this teaching should revolve around the Kingdom of God. This teaching is not limited to words but should encompass one's lifestyle and actions, serving as a comprehensive example to others.

BELIEVERS BE ATTITUDES Series| BEATITUDES (10)| CHIMDI OHAHUNA. In Matthew 5:11-12, Jesus proclaims, "Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you." These words shed light on the profound connection between revealing Christ on earth and enduring persecution. It is often through times of persecution that the true essence of our faith is tested and revealed. In the face of hostility, discrimination, or hardship, our commitment to Christ becomes evident. Persecution becomes a litmus test of our faith and a testimony of our dedication to following the teachings of Jesus. In today's world, the idea of facing persecution for one's faith may seem distant or unlikely for many in the Church. The prevailing culture often emphasizes seeker sensitivity, addressing needs, and pursuing happiness, which can overshadow the true essence of the Gospel message. The inconvenience, discomfort, or even suffering that may come with standing firm in faith is not always well-received in a society that values comfort and convenience above all else. However, the words of Jesus remind us that persecution, far from being a negative experience, can be a source of true rejoicing for believers. It is in these moments of trial and tribulation that our faith is refined, our commitment is strengthened, and our witness shines brightest. The early Christians understood this truth as they endured persecution with unwavering faith and joy, knowing that their reward in heaven far outweighed any temporary suffering on earth. As we navigate our faith journey in a world that may not always understand or appreciate our beliefs, let us remember the words of Jesus in Matthew 5:11-12. Let us embrace the reality that revealing Christ on earth may come with challenges and opposition, but through it all, we can find true rejoicing in suffering for His sake. May we be encouraged to stand firm in our faith, regardless of the circumstances, knowing that our ultimate reward is secure in Him. Let us strive to reveal Christ not only in times of comfort and ease but also in the midst of trials and persecution, for it is through our steadfastness and unwavering faith that the world may truly see the transformative power of the Gospel.

BIBLE STUDY| MIRACLES OF JESUS SERIES.|THE FOURTH MIRACLE OF JESUS pt.4 | THE FEEDING OF 5,000 MEN WITH 5 LOAVES OF BREAD AND 2 FISHES| CHIMDI OHAHUNA. Mark 6:31-34 Jesus serves as the complete and ultimate revelation of the character and nature of God the Father. In studying the fourth miracle performed by Jesus, we understand that vision, rooted in a deep understanding of God's will and purpose, leads to a profound sense of compassion in his heart towards those in need. This compassion, in turn, moves Jesus towards taking action and demonstrating visionary leadership that embodies spiritual leadership and guidance. The interconnectedness of vision, compassion, and visionary leadership highlights the depth and complexity of Jesus' approach to ministry and leadership. Vision, as a clear understanding of God's plan and purposes, provides the foundation for compassionate action and empathetic response to the needs of others. This compassion, fueled by love and empathy, drives Jesus to act in ways that transcend mere human understanding and exhibit divine wisdom and insight. Furthermore, the concept of visionary leadership emphasizes the transformative and inspirational nature of Jesus' approach to guiding and leading others. His leadership style is not based on mere authority or power but is deeply rooted in spiritual principles, divine wisdom, and a vision for the Kingdom of God. This visionary leadership model serves as a powerful example for the body of Christ, encouraging believers to move beyond mere acts of compassion and into a realm of faith-filled, visionary action that can lead to the supernatural and manifestations of God's power. Vision helps the leader give the people their real needs hence, a visionary leader knows the right need to be met in the lives of their followers. The message is clear: while compassion is a vital component of Christian life and ministry, it is the combination of vision, compassion, and visionary leadership that paves the way for experiencing the fullness of God, and great miracles in and through the body of Christ. As the body of Christ, If we stop at the compassion level, we won't get to the point of experiencing great miracles. By aligning our hearts with God's vision, cultivating deep compassion for others, and stepping out in faith-filled visionary leadership, we can witness the incredible power and transformative presence of God at work in and through our lives and in the world around us. Following Christ is not just about outwardly declaring oneself as a follower; it is about undergoing a transformative process of being "made" into a new creation in Christ. This process of being made involves a spiritual journey of growth, learning, and development that aligns with the teachings and example of Jesus himself. The Book of Matthew 4:19 says, " And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men." So, if we say we follow Christ and are not being "made", we ain't following right. Jesus calls his disciples to follow him and become fishers of men. This call to discipleship implies a commitment to not only imitating Christ but also being transformed by his teachings, actions, and love. It is through this continuous process of being made that individuals are reshaped, refined, and molded into the likeness of Christ, reflecting his character, values, and purpose in their lives. Often, quick fixes don't fix the root cause of a problem. Jesus' leadership style, particularly in guiding those who were lost or in need as in this study, exemplified the importance of teaching as a fundamental aspect of leading and guiding others. Teaching serves as a means of not only imparting knowledge but also nurturing understanding, wisdom, and growth in individuals. Hence, Jesus taught then, then healed as many that were sick, and then fed them with the loaves and fishes; changing this order doesn't align with the leadership and guidance operations of God.

SWEET MELODIES | FUNKE OHAHUNA| BIBLE READING| PRAYERS| EXHORTATION Bible verse Emphasis:- " Lead me, O LORD, in thy righteousness because of mine enemies; make thy way straight before my face. "Psalm 5: 8. The term for the word "lead" in Hebrew refers to lead, to guide, transport, bestow, bring, govern, guide, lead (forth), put, and straiten. So, when King David prayed in the morning saying "Lead me, O LORD," he was saying; ~ bestow upon me your righteousness (gift of righteousness), Rom 5:17 "For if, through one man, death ruled because of that man’s offense, how much more will those who receive such overflowing grace and the gift of righteousness rule in life because of one man, Jesus the Messiah!" ~ bring me / transport me in your righteousness as I journey through today by implication he prayed for God to escort and accompany him, ~ govern me in Your righteousness means O LORD let your righteousness serve as a precedent or deciding principle for me always. Let Your righteousness control, direct, and/or strongly influence my actions and conduct always. Let your righteousness preside over me and refrain me from every path contrary to the righteousness of God. ~ guide me in your righteousness means let Your righteousness provide me with guiding information as I carry out my daily activities in the presence of my enemies. ~ put in me your righteousness that is, O LORD press, force, or impose the acceptance of Your righteousness upon me. It shows how desperate and intentional King David was about being led in the righteousness of God daily. He was not ignorant of the desires of the sensual & carnal man, who would know what is right and still choose to do the wrong thing. Romans 7:15-25 TPT [15] I’m a mystery to myself, for I want to do what is right, but end up doing what my moral instincts condemn. [16] And if my behavior is not in line with my desire, my conscience still confirms the excellence of the law. [17] And now I realize that it is no longer my true self doing it, but the unwelcome intruder of sin in my humanity. [18] For I know that nothing good lives within the flesh of my fallen humanity. The longings to do what is right are within me, but willpower is not enough to accomplish it. [19] My lofty desires to do what is good are dashed when I do the things I want to avoid. [20] So if my behavior contradicts my desires to do good, I must conclude that it’s not my true identity doing it, but the unwelcome intruder of sin hindering me from being who I really am. [21] Through my experience of this principle, I discovered that even when I want to do good, evil is ready to sabotage me. [22] Truly, deep within my true identity, I love to do what pleases God. [23] But I discern another power operating in my humanity, waging a war against the moral principles of my conscience and bringing me into captivity as a prisoner to the “law” of sin—this unwelcome intruder in my humanity. [24] What an agonizing situation I am in! So who has the power to rescue this miserable man from the unwelcome intruder of sin and death? [25] I give all my thanks to God, for his mighty power has finally provided a way out through our Lord Jesus, the Anointed One! So if left to myself, the flesh is aligned with the law of sin, but now my renewed mind is fixed on and submitted to God’s righteous principles. ~ straiten me in Your righteousness- hem me in (confine me) in Your righteousness. As we become more aware of God's righteousness confining us we become more and more deficient in the practice of the works of the flesh. When we are straitened in & by the righteousness of the LORD we will be delivered from enemies that straiten visions & purposes. The righteousness of the LORD delivers from every interference and limitation to fulfillment of purpose. Discover in this series what is the righteousness of God and the reason why every believer in Christ needs the divine leading of God.

THE MIRACLES OF PROVISION AND SALVATION: The Sacred Bond Between Sheep and Shepherd. BIBLE STUDY| MIRACLES OF JESUS SERIES.|THE FOURTH MIRACLE OF JESUS pt.3 | THE FEEDING OF 5,000 MEN WITH 5 LOAVES OF BREAD AND 2 FISHES| CHIMDI OHAHUNA. Mark 6:31-34 " And he said unto them, Come ye yourselves apart into a desert place, and rest a while: for there were many coming and going, and they had no leisure so much as to eat. And they departed into a desert place by ship privately. And the people saw them departing, and many knew him, and ran afoot thither out of all cities, and outwent them, and came together unto him. And Jesus, when he came out, saw much people, and was moved with compassion toward them, because they were as sheep not having a shepherd: and he began to teach them many things." Sheep are most likely unable to last for long without a Shepherd because of their attributes and characteristics. This is why the good shepherd lives and gives his life for the sheep. Sheep are known for their dependence on shepherds due to their innate characteristics and attributes. These animals are not inherently equipped to survive for extended periods without a shepherd's guidance, protection, and care. Their tendencies to stray, lack of natural defense mechanisms, and need for direction make them highly reliant on a shepherd's presence. The Book of John 10:11 says, "I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep." The metaphor of the good shepherd giving his life for the sheep signifies sacrificial love and protection. It emphasizes the profound bond between the shepherd and his flock, mirroring the sacrificial nature of Jesus Christ's love for humanity. The image of the good shepherd laying down his life for the sheep underscores the selflessness and dedication required to care for and safeguard the vulnerable. Ultimately, the concept of the good shepherd's sacrifice reflects the importance of guidance, protection, and selfless love in nurturing and safeguarding those in need. Just as a shepherd provides for and protects his flock, the image of the good shepherd giving his life for the sheep serves as a powerful symbol of compassion, sacrificial love, and the profound connection between the caretaker and the cared-for. The compassion of Jesus flowed because the death of sheep without shepherds was imminent. This miracle of Jesus is for the world, the sinners to be saved. The five loaves and the two fishes in this miracle performed by Jesus have deep symbolic meaning. These humble foods are often interpreted as a sign of God's power to nourish and save humanity. The five loaves are a symbol/ mirror of the spiritual food offered by Jesus Christ, who is the bread of life, to save humanity. Likewise, the two fish can symbolize the work of reconciliation and evangelization carried out by Christ's disciples as "fishers of men." In this account, the loaves and fishes are multiplied by Jesus to feed a hungry crowd, demonstrating his ability to provide abundance to those who believe in him and are saved. This miraculous multiplication also serves as a reminder of the disciples' mission to continue the work of Jesus by sharing the Gospel and leading others to faith. Listen to this study that reveals, the five loaves and the two fishes illustrate not only the divine power of transformation and provision but also the call to reconciliation and evangelism for all who have received the gift of salvation following the teachings of Jesus. These symbols emphasize the importance of sharing spiritual food and spreading the Good News to build the community of believers and work toward the reconciliation of souls with God.

BIBLE STUDY| MIRACLES OF JESUS SERIES.|THE FOURTH MIRACLE OF JESUS pt.2 | THE FEEDING OF 5,000 MEN WITH 5 LOAVES OF BREAD AND 2 FISHES| CHIMDI OHAHUNA. Mark 6:31-34 " And he said unto them, Come ye yourselves apart into a desert place, and rest a while: for there were many coming and going, and they had no leisure so much as to eat. And they departed into a desert place by ship privately. And the people saw them departing, and many knew him, and ran afoot thither out of all cities, and outwent them, and came together unto him. And Jesus, when he came out, saw much people, and was moved with compassion toward them, because they were as sheep not having a shepherd: and he began to teach them many things." The perspective / view a person has about people around them will determine their level of compassion towards them. Christ Jesus did not see an impressive crowd when the multitude came to Him, He saw a crowd who were lacking spiritual leadership and guidance. When Jesus described people as "sheep without a shepherd," He was expressing compassion and concern for the crowds who had gathered to hear Him speak. This expression reveals that the people were lost, vulnerable, and in need of guidance and care; because sheep need a shepherd to lead and protect them. So, Christ Jesus spoke of the spiritual guidance and leadership that the people were lacking. The crowd sought a loving and wise figure to provide direction and comfort to their lives. The scripture also reveals Jesus as the Good Shepherd who offers guidance, protection, and salvation to all who follow Him (Psalms 23, John 10:11). This study emphasizes the important connection between our perspective as believers, our hearts, and our ability to show compassion. We understand that, the way we see others directly influences our attitudes and feelings toward them. As believers in Christ, If we view people through a lens of judgment, negativity, or prejudice, our hearts may become closed off and lacking in compassion. However, if we strive to see others as God sees them, with understanding, love, and forgiveness, our hearts will be filled with compassion. Furthermore, this Bible Study brings to light the need to align our vision with God's perspective as it is key to developing true compassion. When we see others through the eyes of God, we begin to see their value, worth, and inherent dignity as God's creation and not trees that can be felled. This shift in perspective allows us to understand and empathize with others, leading to genuine compassion that flows from the heart. Listen to this study that conveys that by adopting God's perspective in our interactions with others, compassion becomes a natural and inevitable outcome of our regenerated & renewed vision.

BELIEVERS BE ATTITUDES Series| BEATITUDES (8)| CHIMDI OHAHUNA. "Matthew 5:10 says, 'Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven'. As previously established, the Beatitudes bring us the realization that we are blessed and via the manifestations, serve as a testament to the world that, as disciples of Christ, we are truly blessed. The Beatitudes are not mere suggestions for our consideration or a choice to make, but rather, they encompass the attitudes and actions that we must embrace, as followers of Christ. This verse helps us understand that, whenever we are persecuted for the sake of righteousness, it means that we are facing opposition due to our pursuit of a righteous and upright life before God. Often, such persecution puts us in difficult situations, where we may feel compelled to flee or escape. Jesus speaking in the Book of Matthew 10 verse 23a says, "But when they persecute you in this city, flee ye into another:" However, it is essential to discern when fleeing is necessary in these circumstances. Sometimes, wisdom and discernment may lead us to choose flight, realizing that preserving our well-being and continuing our righteous journey may require taking a step back. It is crucial to remember that, in doing so, we are not forsaking our faith or compromising our convictions. Rather, we are making a wise decision to protect ourselves and continue our pursuit of righteousness. Furthermore, Jesus speaking in the Book of Luke 21 verses 17 -21 says, "And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake. But there shall not an hair of your head perish. In your patience possess ye your souls. And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh. Then let them which are in Judaea flee to the mountains; and let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in the countries enter thereinto." By facing persecution for righteousness sake and choosing how to respond, we demonstrate our commitment to God's ways and display perseverance in the face of adversity. Ultimately, as promised in the Scriptures, the kingdom of heaven belongs to disciples who endure and remain faithful during times of persecution for the sake of righteousness." Therefore, we can emphasize the profound meaning and significance of persecution for righteousness sake as proof that one is already experiencing the blessings of the Kingdom of God. When we face persecution due to our commitment to righteousness, this very persecution becomes a testament that we are already partakers of the Kingdom of God. Persecution serves as a confirmation that we are standing firmly in alignment with God's principles and living out His righteousness. It signifies that we are on the right path and have become a living testimony of our faith. Instead of viewing persecution solely as a burden or a source of pain, we can choose to perceive it as a divine validation of our spiritual journey. Being at peace and experiencing joy amid persecution may seem contradictory, but it is indeed possible. When we endure persecution for righteousness sake, we can find solace and contentment, recognizing that we are privileged to partake in the blessings of the Kingdom of God. In this light, persecution loses its power to discourage or dishearten us. Instead, it becomes a source of encouragement, reminding us of our true citizenship in the Kingdom and our unwavering commitment to God. Therefore, let us embrace the mindset that persecution for righteousness' sake is not a sign of defeat or exclusion, but rather a confirmation that we are already living in the spiritual realm where peace and joy abound. As we endure and overcome the persecution, we can stand firm in our faith in Christ, having the assurance and strong conviction that we are already experiencing the blessings and rewards of the Kingdom of God.

BIBLE STUDY| MIRACLES OF JESUS SERIES.|THE FOURTH MIRACLE OF JESUS pt.1 | THE FEEDING OF 5,000 MEN WITH 5 LOAVES OF BREAD AND 2 FISHES| CHIMDI OHAHUNA. In the book of John 6, we witness the fourth miracle performed by Jesus Christ, and compassion is highlighted as the foundation underlying this miracle. This account emphasizes the significance of compassion in the body of Christ and how it is the bedrock for every genuine miracle. Compassion can be defined as being moved by the seat or bowel of love and pity. It is a deep sense of empathy and concern for others, driven by a genuine desire to alleviate their suffering. When we experience compassion, it is not merely a sentiment or feeling. It is an active force that compels us to act in love and extend our mercy towards others. The Bible portrays compassion as a result of the Holy Spirit working through our human spirit. It is through this synergy that we are moved to action, prompted to show love and pity towards those in need. Compassion demonstrates the embodiment of God's love, reflecting His nature and character. Furthermore, compassion plays a fundamental role in the miracles performed by Jesus Christ during His ministry. These miracles were not simply supernatural acts of power but rather acts rooted in deep compassion for those who were suffering physically, emotionally, or spiritually. Jesus' love and pity for people in distress fueled His miraculous interventions, bringing about transformation and healing. Compassion, therefore, becomes the essential ingredient for the manifestation of genuine miracles within the body of Christ. It is by being moved by the seat of love and pity, through the leading of the Holy Spirit, that believers are empowered to demonstrate God's compassion and perform acts of love and kindness. Miracles that are birthed in compassion have the potential to touch lives, restore hope, and bring glory to God. In conclusion, the book of John 6 highlights the foundational role of compassion in the miracles performed by Jesus Christ. Compassion, rooted in love and pity, is nurtured by the Holy Spirit working through our human spirit. It is through compassion that believers are mobilized to act in love, extend mercy, and demonstrate the power of God. May compassion continue to be the driving force behind our actions as we strive to emulate the example set by Jesus Christ himself.

BELIEVERS BE ATTITUDES Series| BEATITUDES (7)| CHIMDI OHAHUNA. Bible Text: Matthew 5 1 And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he was set, his disciples came unto him: 2 And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying, 3 Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 4 Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted. 5. Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth. 6 Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. 7 Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy. 8 Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God. 9 Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God. Peacemakers are individuals who possess the unique ability to foster peace in their surroundings, even if they may not always be perceived as peaceful. What sets them apart is their sweet communion with the Holy Spirit, having a deep fellowship with God thereby drawing upon the inherent deposit of peace that rests within them from God. They manifest this inner peace and are also empowered to translate God's peace without by way of reconciliation. Being a peacemaker goes beyond maintaining personal tranquility; it involves actively mediating conflicts and diffusing tensions to create harmony. While this may seem challenging, because of the Holy Spirit living within the believer and via His direction, believers in Christ possess the wisdom and grace to navigate through conflicting situations with empathy and understanding. Our Lord Jesus Christ is the Prince of Peace, he gives peace not the way the world gives peace (Isa 9:6). Jesus speaking in the Book of John 14 verse 27 says, "Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid." Peacemakers exude an aura of peace. They carry the profound tranquility within them, and it radiates through their actions, words, and demeanor. They act as beacons of hope, reminding others of the possibility and necessity of peace. Through their example, they inspire others to embrace and value peaceful resolutions. Moreover, peacemakers are profoundly connected to the essence of love and have a deep appreciation for the transformative power it holds. Love is the underlying force that propels their dedication to developing peaceful environments. They understand that true peace can only exist where love thrives. In essence, peacemakers are individuals who possess an innate ability to pacify, restore balance, and promote peaceful coexistence. Their embodiment of peace stems from their intimate connection with the divine deposit of peace within them, which allows them to bring about positive change in the world around them. They are agents of transformation, spreading the message of peace and inspiring others to embrace a harmonious way of life. In this is the blessedness of how we are children of God as peacemakers. Here are some key points in this episode on the Beatitudes given by Christ: 1. Peacemakers have the unique ability to foster peace in their surroundings. 2. They may not always be perceived as peaceful, but what sets them apart is their deep connection to God. 3. They draw upon the inherent deposit of peace from Christ that rests within them in the person of the Holy Spirit. 4. Peacemakers manifest their inner peace, Christ Jesus, the Prince of Peace. 5. Being a peacemaker extends beyond personal tranquility. Kindly receive the Invitation for salvation today, we encourage every listener to accept Jesus as their personal Lord and Savior. Listen to this episode as a family and learn great lessons from the seventh Beatitude taught by our Lord Jesus Christ. #Peace #peacemakers #blessing #childrenofGod Jesus is Lord. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/gracelife-comi/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/gracelife-comi/support

The location of the miracle was - a pool by the sheep market, in the Hebrew tongue known as Bethesda. Bethesda had five porches at Jerusalem.

BELIEVERS BE ATTITUDES Series| BEATITUDES (6)| CHIMDI OHAHUNA. Bible Text: Matthew 5 1 And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he was set, his disciples came unto him: 2 And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying, 3 Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 4 Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted. 5. Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth. 6 Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. 7 Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy. 8 Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God. The purpose of the teasers on the Beatitudes given by Jesus is to make us know that, our situations or circumstances don't make us blessed, it is who we are that makes us blessed. These blessings are reserved for all who are saved. To be pure in heart means to have a clean & pure heart and this happens when the blood of Jesus washed away our sins. Only the blood of Jesus, the blood of the Lamb, can wash the heart and make it white as snow (Isaiah 1). The pure in heart are those washed by the Blood of the Lamb and are blessed. Every believer must understand that it isn't enough to be spiritually fruitful, we must be fruitful in Soul/mind and body.

BELIEVERS BE ATTITUDES Series| BEATITUDES (3)| CHIMDI OHAHUNA. Bible Text: Matthew 5 1 And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he was set, his disciples came unto him: 2 And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying, 3 Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 4 Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted. 5. Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth. 6 Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. The first "be attitude" of the believer is to need God very much as a child of God. Never have enough of Christ. The second "be attitude" (Beatitude) reveals how we enjoy comfort via the person of the Holy Spirit. The third reveals how Meekness helps us in times of emotional highs to not curse God or hurt others. Meekness speaks/reveals the believer's absolute faith in God. The fourth "be attitude"- Hunger for Righteousness (HFR) & Thirst for Righteousness (TFR). TFR & HFR are needed to fully live the life of Christ and help us work the works of God. In this episode, we considered the fifth "be attitude". Beloved, the mercy of God has no hidden agenda, His show of kindness is not a currency He uses to get a man to do His bidding and enforce His will when one is not willing to do His will.

SWEET MELODIES | FUNKE OHAHUNA| BIBLE READING| PRAYERS| EXHORTATION Psalm 16:8 I have set the LORD always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved. To set the LORD always before me is; # to agree with the will of God, # be conscious of the nature of God in you # become more like God daily, # Come up to the level of God, # To resemble God in every sense/ area. Beloved, we are in times that only agree with the will of God, being conscious of the nature of God in us, yearning to become more like Christ daily, growing in our relationship and fellowship with God, and making all efforts to resemble God in every sense will aid us to stand the various deceptions and evil fashioned against to growth, edification & build-up of the body of Christ. Like the Psalmist David, who made it his responsibility to ALWAYS set the LORD before him and was never on the losing side in any battle; every believer in Christ must do the same in order to manifest as more than conquerors. Jesus has overcome this world, the Scripture says, "These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world."John 16:33 Being conscious of the nature of God in us, - 1 John 4:4 Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world. Come up to the level of God, become more like God daily 1 John 2:14 I have written unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. I have written unto you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God abideth in you, and ye have overcome the wicked one. Always speaks of continuity, perpetuity, constantly, and regular (daily) sacrifice. Hence, the responsibility of setting the LORD always before us is not a joke. Eph 6:13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
