We The Church

God won't test you if you are on the bench. Your test is your qualifying factor of what you are trusting God for. Division attracts the devil, so unity in the church is key. Key scriptures - Acts 2: 42-47, Acts 2: 1-4. In today's episode we answer the question - How do we close the gaps so that the devil doesn't come in between? Pentecost wasn't only power- it was people becoming family. What's important about Pentecost is the journey, not rushing and just focusing on the destination because the consequence is speaking performative tongues which is not from above, but rather from what you heard from someone else. The holy spirit didn't merely produce tongues, prophecy and signs, but He produced community. We leave you with an important question - Do you feed what feeds you?

You Are The Joseph God Has Called

Families were formulated before the church. In today's episode we look into fulfilling the purpose God has called you for, by understanding that family is God's primary system for preserving covenant, carrying destiny, and revealing Himself in the earth. Every Joseph has a purpose, and purpose has less to do with you but more with God's people. Christ preserved us at the table, now we preserve one another in the family. So, we ought to ask ourselves honestly - Am I consuming family or preserving it? Key scriptures are Genesis 1:22-23, Genesis 45:5-8

Any Minute Now

The problem is not the power; it's the vessel containing the power. Key scriptures are Judges 6:36-40, John 11:43, Mark 5:14, Romans 8:11, Genesis 1:1-2, Acts 1:2-4. The power comes and we experience it, but we lose it because we are leaking. In today's episode we look into how to prepare ourselves to be ready to receive the power because when God speaks readiness determines outcome. We look into three main points: 1. The encounter is not the problem, readiness is. 2. Lazarus moment- power is present, but your response is required. 3. Hosting the power- You cannot be prepared by humans for a Godly thing. We have learnt visitation, now we must learn habitation. How you get ready for resurrection power is by knowing His voice.

Where Are Your Accusers Now

When you embrace discomfort, you learn discomfort and what you learn you can teach. Key scriptures are John 8:1-11, Romans 8:33. The problem with accusations is that it attempts to make the past permanent. Your accusers know the law, but they don't know the Lord. God uses what is tested so embrace the trials and challenges because it means that you are called. Comfort is not destiny. In the pressing and trials, stand in the word of God. it's about the consistency of faith and not the consistency of your abilities. Jesus doesn't begin with defence; He begins with freedom.

This Changes Everything

True hope in Christ is through understanding the resurrection because Christ's resurrection says hope is rational. Key scriptures are Philippians 3:10-11, Acts 2:24, Ecclesiastes 3:19-20, 1Corinthians 15:17, Colossians 1:18, Ephesians 1:19-20. When you know the power inside of you don't open your mouth for everything because even when Jesus was accused, He remained silent. Faith is not irrational; faith is beyond rational. Christianity exists not because Jesus taught well but because Jesus lives. When you go through death, you have the chance to birth something new because what appears final is not necessarily ultimate
