God is moving, and this is not the season to stand still.In this message, the listener is invited into a powerful moment of spiritual awareness: a reminder that God’s work often moves like a train, unstoppable, advancing, and purposeful. You don’t need to understand everything to join it… but you do need to step on.“Don’t Be Left Behind: Envisioning for Greater Heights” is a call to lift your eyes beyond what you see and begin to imagine what God intends. Drawing from the lives of Joshua and Nehemiah, this episode explores how vision is formed in prayer, strengthened by faith, and activated through obedience.You’ll be challenged to shift from living by sight to living by vision, where problems become possibilities, closed doors become opportunities, and ordinary lives are invited into extraordinary impact.This is more than a sermon.It’s an invitation to rise, align, and soar, so that none of us is left behind.

In this episode, we take a deep, eye-opening look at Divine Honour and Dignity—not as the world defines honour, but as God defines it. Anchored in John 12:26, the message tackles a vital question: What does divine honour actually look like, and how does God honour His people?You’ll hear clear, practical insight on why serving Jesus is central to experiencing God’s honour, and why divine honour is not something we can truly “earn”—it is rooted in grace, God’s love, and His desire to display His goodness in us.This teaching explores key expressions of divine honour, including:Eternal life and having your name written in the Lamb’s Book of LifeThe privilege of sonship and the empowered life through ChristEternal rewards and the mystery of future rulershipCovenant—promises initiated by God, not negotiated by manDivine protection and ‘untouchability’ (Psalm 91, Luke 10:19)Divine visitation and access—God coming to you, and you coming boldly to HimDivine confidence—God entrusting you with insight, direction, and intercessionCalling and election as an honour, even beyond church wallsThe episode closes with a sobering reminder: God notices honour—and He also responds to dishonour. Ultimately, this is a call to seek the honour that comes from God alone, and an invitation to anyone ready to receive Christ and step into the greatest honour of all—new life in Jesus.

In this episode, Dr. Okey Onuzo delivers a stirring message on “Partakers of the Divine Nature” (2 Peter 1:3–4), a call to move from merely knowing the truth to living it.You’ll discover how God’s divine power equips us to live a Christlike life, escape the corruption of the world, and walk in spiritual authority that heaven endorses. With practical teaching from Scripture, the episode explores:Why transformation is a process that requires desire and deliberate choicesHow the Holy Spirit empowers our authority with God’s power, not oursThe secret of becoming like Christ by beholding Him and yielding to the Spirit (2 Corinthians 3:18)Dying to self daily and overcoming the distractions that weaken spiritual strengthLoving God with wholehearted obedience and allowing God to love others through you (John 14:21–23)What it means to be filled with all the fullness of God (Ephesians 3:16–19)This message is both a challenge and an invitation: to pursue deeper intimacy with God through obedience, loyalty, and grace, until the beauty of Jesus is seen in you.

What gives real confidence when the future feels unclear? Not predictions, not resources, but the presence of God. In this episode, we reflect on God’s reassuring words to Moses in Exodus 33:14 and the joy found in His presence from Psalm 16:11.This teaching walks through the benefits of God’s presence: His power to bless, protect, guide, sustain, provide, empower, and bring peace. It also addresses the attitudes that can limit our experience of His presence, calling us to live with faith, obedience, and spiritual sensitivity.Tune in to this episode and be encouraged to walk boldly, knowing that God will see your journey through to the end.

Apostle Paul and the Churches in Galatia. The infiltration of the Judaizers. I. THE DESCRIPTION OF OUR FREEDOM A. Legalism versus Grace Salvation is by grace through faith in Christ – Galatians 3-4. The true gospel of Christ involves a freedom from the slavery of Jewish legalism. B. Abraham Historical Facts – Galatians 4:19-23 Paul used the events in the life of Abraham as a basis for his argument for Christian liberty (freedom). Sequence the events in Abraham’s life in a chronological order: Genesis 12 - 21 The Old Covenant Law Hagar the slave Ismael, conceived after the flesh Earthly Jerusalem in bondage The New Covenant Grace Sarah the free woman Isaac, conceived miraculously Heavenly Jerusalem, which is free Ismael versus Isaac (Flesh versus Spirit) - Galatians 4:22-29 In Abraham’s home we see the same basic conflicts that we Christians face today: ▪ Hagar versus Sarah = law versus grace. ▪ Ismael versus Isaac = flesh versus Spirit. ▪ You cannot separate these four factors. The Judaizers taught that law made the believer more spiritual, but Paul made it clear that law only releases the opposition of the flesh and a conflict within the believer ensues. (Romans 7:19) There was no law strong enough either to change or to control Ismael, but Isaac never needed any law.

Devoted means to be very committed, dedicated, or loyal to a person or a thing/cause. Family means “A group of two or more persons related by birth (blood), marriage, or adoption who live together.” In our context this month, a devoted family is a family that is very committed, dedicated, or loyal to God and to one another. In this study, we will reflect on two truly devoted families in the Bible to illustrate what a devoted family is and, for contrast, one fake devoted family to illustrate what it is not.

Our bible study today will focus on “my loving heavenly Father”: His immeasurable and everlasting love. Our right to call Him Father stems from our spiritual relationship with Him. “The Spirit you received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again; rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship. And by him we cry, “Abba, Father.” Romans 8:15 NIV “Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God.” John 1:12 NIV God decided in advance to adopt us into His own family by bringing us to Himself through Jesus Christ. This is what He wanted to do, and it gave Him great pleasure. (Ephesians 1:5 NLT)

All-Round Blessings Review I Wednesday Bible Study I January 31, 2024

The favour of God takes you to places and events where money, possessions, hard work and your strength can never take you to. There are times in the calendar of God when He steps in to favour His children. In such situations your days will never be the same. The word of God tells us that there is a time when God shows favour to His children. This is what the Lord says: “In the time of my favour I will answer you” (Isaiah 49:8). Isaiah 61:2 talks about “the year of the Lord’s favour.” Psalm 102:13 says, “You will arise and have compassion on Zion, for it is time to show favour to her; the appointed time has come.” In Psalm 5:12 we read “For surely O Lord, you bless the righteous; you surround them with your favour as with a shield.” Without the favour of God, we will find it difficult to make it in our society where wickedness and corruption abound. Dear Child of God, one touch of God’s favour will turn everything around in your life.

The first thing that God did to Adam and Eve after they were created was to bless them, and instruct them on what to do with the blessing – to be fruitful and multiply and have dominion over the rest of creation. (Genesis 1:26-28) Our being blessed is a primary priority and a fundamental aspect in God’s plans and dealings with us. In Christ, God has already blessed us and made the blessing available to us. The promise has been made and is there for the asking and taking. If you could have it without God, then you would have it by now. Secondly, God would not have had to make it a promise to us, if we could get it by ourselves without His participation or involvement. Self-effort and human achievement is not what the Bible means by the blessing. The blessing involves God’s hand and participation – it is supernatural in a sense. If your blessings can be explained without God, it is not “blessed.” Blessing(s) come exclusively from God.

The Kingdom The Power and The Glory Part 1 - Rev Okey Onuzo (January 10, 2024)

The Lord our God is faithful, and He will keep all His promises, He has given us grace to walk with Him in Obedience and faith. (Matthew 11:28-30) God is faithful [He is reliable, trustworthy, and ever true to His promise—He can be depended on], and through Him you were called into fellowship with His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord. (1 Corinthians 1:9 AMP) And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that having all sufficiency in all things at all times, you may abound in every good work. (2 Corinthians 9:8 ESV)
