The Mystery of Being Loved by God - Apostle Lehlogonolo Prince Seloise

Podcast Summary The Mystery of Being Loved by God Part 1 The Nature of Gods Love We are children of a loving Father, and it is important that we live with the consciousness that we are deeply loved by God. Understanding His love changes how we see ourselves, how we relate to Him, and how we love others. 1. Gods Love Is Everlasting Gods love has no beginning and no ending. He loved us before we understood His love and continues to love us with an everlasting love. Jeremiah 31:3 Psalm 103:17 2. Gods Love Is Unconditional God loves us with agape love. This is a selfless, unconditional, and sacrificial love. Agape means unconditional and sacrificial love Phileo refers to friendship and affection Eros refers to romantic and physical love Storge refers to natural family love Gods love is not based on our performance or perfection. 3. Gods Love Makes Us Accepted Because God loves us, He has accepted us in Christ. Our identity is not built on rejection, failure, or the opinions of people, but on Gods grace and love. Ephesians 1:6 4. Gods Love Is Demonstrated Through Action God did not simply tell us that He loves us. He demonstrated His love by giving Christ for us while we were still sinners. Romans 5:8 As believers, we are also called to demonstrate love through our actions and not merely through words. 1 John 3:18 5. Gods Love Is Sacrificial The greatest demonstration of Gods love is found in Jesus Christ. God loved the world so deeply that He gave His only Son so that whoever believes in Him would have eternal life. John 3:16 The mystery of Gods love is that He loved us before we could earn it, accepted us despite our failures, and demonstrated His love through the sacrifice of Jesus. When we understand how deeply God loves us, we can confidently receive His love and learn to extend that same love to God and to others.

The Lord God Called The Man (Where Are You?)

Podcast Summary: The Lord God Called the Man – “Where Are You?” Key Scripture: Genesis 3 From the very beginning, God's heart has always been to pursue mankind. After Adam and Eve sinned, God came into the garden asking one powerful question: "Where are you?" (Genesis 3:9). This was not because God had lost track of Adam's location, but because He wanted Adam to recognize his spiritual condition. God's call was an invitation to repentance, restoration, and relationship. Why Did They Hide? After disobeying God, Adam and Eve hid themselves from His presence. Their actions reveal what sin often produces in the life of a believer. 1. They Were Afraid Fear entered their hearts because sin had separated them from the confidence they once enjoyed in God's presence. Instead of running to God, they ran away from Him. 2. They Felt Exposed They realized they were naked and vulnerable. Shame caused them to try to cover themselves rather than allowing God to restore them. 3. They Didn't Want to Be Seen in Their Condition They wanted to hide their brokenness, failure, and guilt. Like many people today, they preferred hiding over healing. 4. They Had Disobeyed God At the root of their hiding was disobedience. Sin always creates distance where intimacy once existed. What Help Does God's Calling Bring? When God calls us, He is not calling to condemn us but to restore us. His voice always carries grace, truth, and purpose. 1. God's Calling Repositions Us God calls us back to His original purpose and aligns our lives with His will. Even when we lose direction, He lovingly redirects our steps. "Each of you should continue to live in whatever situation the Lord has placed you..." — 1 Corinthians 7:17 "People make plans for what they will do, but it is the Lord who leads them in the right way." — Proverbs 16:9 God's call reminds us that our destiny is not determined by our mistakes but by His purpose for our lives. 2. God's Calling Uncovers, Corrects and Frees Us from Deception One of the first consequences of sin was deception. Eve admitted: "The serpent deceived me, and I ate." — Genesis 3:13 Satan's first weapon was a lie: "You won't die!" — Genesis 3:4 The enemy still uses deception today, causing people to question God's Word and believe lies over truth. The story of the young prophet in 1 Kings 13 demonstrates how dangerous deception can be. Although he clearly heard God's instruction, he later believed the lie of another prophet and disobeyed God's command. This reminds us that not every spiritual voice should replace the clear Word God has already spoken. God's voice exposes deception so that His truth can set us free. 3. God's Calling Frees Us from Excuses and Blame When confronted, Adam blamed Eve, and Eve blamed the serpent. Neither initially accepted responsibility. God's desire is not for us to justify our failures but to confess them. "He who covers his transgressions will not prosper, but whoever confesses and forsakes them will obtain mercy." — Proverbs 28:13 The Apostle John reminds believers that denying sin is self-deception, but confession opens the door to forgiveness and cleansing (1 John 1:8–10). David experienced this personally: "Then I acknowledged my sin to you... and you forgave the guilt of my sin." — Psalm 32:5 Healing begins where excuses end. 4. God's Calling Saves Us from Disobedience The fall of man began with ignoring God's command. Although Eve knew God's instruction, she allowed what looked good to become more attractive than obedience. Jesus later asked: "Why do you call me 'Lord, Lord,' and do not do what I tell you?" — Luke 6:46 True love for Christ is demonstrated through obedience. "If you love me, you will keep my commandments." — John 14:15 The apostles also declared: "We must obey God rather than human beings!" — Acts 5:29 Titus reminds us that we were once disobedient and deceived, but through God's mercy we have been saved, renewed, and transformed by the Holy Spirit (Titus 3:3–5). God patiently calls us because He desires repentance, not destruction. "He does not want anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance." — 2 Peter 3:9 Final Thought Whenever God asks, "Where are you?", it is never because He lacks information. It is because He desires restoration. His call: * Repositions us into His purpose. * Exposes deception with truth. * Removes excuses through repentance. * Restores obedience through His grace. No matter how far someone has wandered, God's voice still reaches them with love and mercy. Instead of hiding in fear, shame, or guilt, we are invited to come before Him honestly, knowing that His desire is to restore, forgive, and lead us into the life He originally intended.

Episode 243 - A Life of Dominion (God’s Original Plan For Man) - Apostle Lehlogonolo Prince Seloise

Podcast Summary: A Life of Dominion (God's Original Plan for Man) In this powerful message, Apostle Prince reminds us that God's original design for humanity was never defeat, fear, or struggle—it was dominion. Drawing from Genesis 1:26, he explains that the Hebrew word Radah means to control, rule, reign, be above, and prevail. Dominion is God's intention for every believer. However, mankind lost this dominion through the fall in the Garden of Eden. The good news is that through Jesus Christ, we have access back to God's original plan. Dominion is not automatic—it is restored and developed through a clear spiritual journey. The message highlights four essential stages to living a life of dominion: * Salvation is the foundation. Without being born again, no one can access God's Kingdom or experience the abundant life Christ came to give. Salvation is the doorway to every blessing God has prepared. * Transformation follows salvation. A renewed mind is essential because believers cannot live victoriously while thinking like the world. God's Word transforms our values, decisions, and perspective, equipping us to walk in His perfect will. * Empowerment comes through the Holy Spirit. Every successful life has a spiritual source, and for the believer, that source is the anointing of the Holy Spirit. God's power enables us to overcome challenges, make progress, and fulfil our purpose. This is why gathering with other believers is so important—it is a place where God's empowering presence is released. * Character and Humility sustain dominion. While the anointing may open doors, it is integrity, humility, and godly character that keep them open. God tests character before entrusting greater responsibility. Pride opposes God's work, but humility attracts His grace and allows believers to continue reigning in life. Apostle Prince concludes by reminding us that true dominion is not measured by possessions or status, but by a life surrendered to God. Prayer, fasting, and continual self-examination cultivate humility and allow the fruit of the Spirit to flourish. As believers develop godly character, they position themselves to experience lasting victory in every area of life. The message closes with a heartfelt prayer from Psalm 139:23–24 and Galatians 5:22–23, asking God to search our hearts, remove every flaw, and produce the fruit of the Spirit within us. This, Apostle Prince teaches, is the prayer that empowers believers to continually walk in God's original plan—a life of dominion.

Episode 242 - The Grave Can’t Praise God - Apostle Lehlogonolo Prince Seloise

The Grave Can't Praise God (The Story of King Hezekiah & Prophet Isaiah) The God Who Reverses Impossible Verdicts Scripture: 2 Kings 20:1–11 (NIV) King Hezekiah received one of the worst reports anyone could ever hear: "Put your house in order, because you are going to die." Yet his story reminds us that no situation is beyond God's power. Through prayer, faith, obedience, and God's mercy, a death sentence became a testimony of divine intervention. One of the first lessons we learn is that God desires every person to have their house in order. Life is uncertain, and wisdom is found in living ready before God. Rather than accepting the verdict, Hezekiah immediately turned his face to the wall and prayed. Instead of complaining to people, he took his burden to the One who had the power to change the outcome. As Isaiah 38 teaches, "the grave cannot praise You... the living, the living, they shall praise You." Hezekiah understood that his purpose on earth was not yet complete because only the living can continue to worship, testify, and glorify God. During his prayer, Hezekiah reminded God of his faithful walk. His confidence was not rooted in perfection but in a life that consistently pursued God. He had removed idols, restored true worship, cleansed the temple, obeyed God's commands, trusted the Lord in times of crisis, and led the nation back to God. A life of obedience gives confidence in the place of prayer. Before Isaiah had even left the palace, God answered. This teaches us that persistent prayer produces a word from the Lord. Every genuine encounter with God brings direction, answers, hope, and solutions. God declared that He had heard Hezekiah's prayer, seen his tears, would heal him, add fifteen years to his life, and protect Jerusalem from its enemies. God is attentive not only to our words but also to our tears. However, God's promise still required obedience. Isaiah instructed that a poultice of figs be applied to the boil, and Hezekiah recovered. The miracle happened when the prophetic instruction was acted upon. Many people receive prophetic words but fail to obey the instructions connected to them. Faith always expresses itself through action. Hezekiah also requested a sign, and God graciously provided one. This reminds us that God often confirms His promises in ways that strengthen our faith. When Isaiah asked whether the shadow should move forward or backward, Hezekiah chose the greater miracle. A shadow naturally moves forward with time, but moving backward required God to override the normal order of creation. The Lord answered Isaiah's prayer, and the shadow moved backward ten steps on the stairway of Ahaz. This extraordinary miracle demonstrated that God is sovereign over creation, faithful to His Word, and not limited by time or natural laws. The God who created the universe can intervene in it whenever He chooses. The message for us today is clear: God still overturns negative verdicts. He hears sincere prayer, responds to faith, honors obedience, confirms His promises, and is able to reverse situations that seem impossible. Just as He turned back the shadow for Hezekiah, He is able to restore lost time, reverse hopeless circumstances, and perform miracles that confirm His Word. The grave cannot praise God—but the living can. Therefore, while there is breath in your lungs, pray, worship, obey, and trust the Lord. The God who added years to Hezekiah's life is still able to reverse impossible verdicts and give His people a reason to praise Him.

Episode 241 - Let The People Know Their God - Pastor Rudzani Muriel Seloise

Podcast Summary: Let the People Know Their God It is possible to experience the blessings of God without truly knowing the God who gives them. Many people seek His hand, but few pursue His heart. Throughout Scripture, God has always desired a people who know Him personally—not just His works, but His character, His voice, and His ways. In this powerful message, Pastor Muriel reminds us that Christianity is more than believing in God; it is about knowing Him intimately. A genuine relationship with God produces confidence, faith, discernment, and unwavering trust, even in difficult seasons. When you know who God is, you are no longer shaken by circumstances because your confidence is anchored in His nature. Drawing from the story of Moses and the burning bush, we are challenged to move beyond being fascinated by what God does and to become captivated by who He is. Miracles, provision, healing, and breakthroughs are wonderful, but they should lead us into a deeper knowledge of the One behind them. This message will encourage you to pursue intimacy with God through His Word, prayer, worship, and daily fellowship. As you grow in knowing Him, your faith will become stronger, your purpose clearer, and your life transformed. Key Takeaways: * God desires to be known, not merely acknowledged. * Intimacy with God is the foundation of a strong Christian life. * Knowing God produces confidence, courage, and spiritual stability. * God's works should lead us to seek His person. * A deeper knowledge of God transforms the way we live, pray, worship, and serve. Key Scriptures: Daniel 11:32, Exodus 3:1–6, Jeremiah 9:23–24, Philippians 3:10.
