Based on John 15: 1-11, Cultivating a Personal Relationship with God is a reflection on the disciple’s deeper walk with God. A personal relationship, therefore, must come from a personal encounter and a personal encounter with God would always be awe inspiring that is difficult to discount. The reason some of us are lukewarm is because we mistake Christianity for a religion instead of a lifestyle. Without, personal relationship with the Creator it is possible to be religious for as long as possi...

Based on Exodus 34:4-7 ‘Transferred Spiritual Bondage’ invites us to reflect on the negative spiritual activities that takes place in our lives even as believers in Jesus Christ. Transferred Spiritual Bondage, which is sometimes called generational curse is a continual negative pattern of habit that may exist in our lives as a result of our genetical connection with our lineages. While this doctrine may not exactly be supported by the New Testament, it is a worthy subject to consider as our key ...

Based on Jeremiah 29:10-14 ‘God is working for our Good’ is a reminder of God’s act of loving kindness to his people regardless any situation they might find themselves. One of the most distinguishing features of the Holy Bible from other religious texts, ancient or modern is the promises contained in them, in fact, the Bible can be rightly retitled as the Book of Promise as there are around 8,810 promises according to some biblical scholars out of which are 7,487 direct promises made by God to ...

Based on Job 40:15-24, Who can tame the Behemoth? Invites listeners of Pneuma Podcast to consider the question of divine sovereignty over all that is created by the Creator God. The title, therefore, is not a rhetorical question but a query that is intended to make a plausible psychological case designed to propel human consciousness towards the greatness of God the Creator of all things, great and small, including the setbacks and triumphs He allows. In using motif of Behemoth God reminded Job ...

Based on John 14:1-6 ‘A Place for You on the Other side’ is a reflection of our own mortality and the reality of eternity with or without Christ, the one singular and ‘must happen’ appointment with the Creator and Master of the universe. Death is going to happen; it is only a matter of when? And in my view the question of ‘when’ is unnecessary if we live each day as if Christ died yesterday, resurrected today, and is coming back tomorrow. Hebrews 9:27 says “...it is appointed for men to die once...

Based on Luke 19:1-10 ‘Salvation has Come’ invites listeners of this Podcast to consider the nature of sin and the salvation that is available through Jesus Christ. The podcast focuses on the interesting story of a dishonourable individual yet honourable in the sight of God because of his singular action to connect with the person of Jesus Christ in his town. With the social baggage, inside of Zacchaeus was a hunger, hunger for righteousness, hunger to do the right thing and hunger to be accepte...

Based on Psalms 139:7-12 “The Inescapable Presence of God” brings to the attention of the listeners of this podcast an important lesson we all need to learn about God’s presence through the eyes of the Psalmist. These Psalms are among some of the loveliest metaphoric expressions in the Scriptures, they are both scary and comforting concurrently because the presence of God is inescapable both for the bad person and the good person. God’s presence is inescapable no matter where we go, how far we g...

Based on the 1 Corinthians 9:16-22 “Calls on believers to reflect on their commitments to the preaching, teaching, and sharing of the Gospel of Jesus Christ with its originality. Right now many Christians and churches are so busy with never-ending social events that can compete favourably with Hollywood commercial shows and thinking it is the Gospel. Yes! It may look and sound like the Gospel, but that doesn’t mean it is the Gospel and if it is not the Gospel then it cannot be the Gospel. We mus...

Based on Romans 8:1-4 “Debt Cancelled” invites listeners of this podcast to consider afresh the importance of Paul’s message to the Church at Rome and to the Church today as that form the very core of our walk with God. The Apostle Paul invited us to walk in the Spirit, to be directed by the Spirit, a character that would help us grow in the grace and in the providence of the Almighty God. Not that we will never sin or ever make mistakes and bad choices again, it simply means that we would be mo...

Based on Ezekiel 37:1-11 “Impossible Possibility with God” is a reflection on what God can do for us in our hopelessness and vulnerability that are sometimes precipitated by crisis of faith as it happened in the life and time of the prophet Ezekiel and his people Israel. The atrium of this message is to encourage listeners to place their inabilities in God’s ability because with him all things are possible, and that no situation is totally hopeless and helpless if we do the right thing by obeyin...

Based on Isaiah 55:6-12 ‘God has the last word on all things’ is a reflection on the reason why we, God chasers must let God have the last word over our affairs. This is because God is the originator of all things, visible and invisible, He is the Alpha and the Omega. The brokenness in our society is mind blowing, if you listen carefully to the resounding cry all around you, you will hear the deafening sound of the soul that has been crushed and looking for a Higher power without realising the s...

Based on Habakkuk 3:17-19 ‘Rejoice in the Lord Unconditionally’ is a call for believers in Jesus Christ to rejoice in the God of their salvation unreservedly. It is true, the world is saturated with trouble and uncertainty and with many unanswered questions but not rejoicing in the Lord is not an option for us instead, it is the driving force on our respective journeys of faith on this side of eternity. The old devil seek to attack this aspect of our lives each blessed day but we must as the scr...

Based on Luke 24:1-8 ‘Rising from the Ashes’ is a reflection on the glorious resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead on the first Easter morning. Easter in the Christian calendar marks the climax of the events of the death, burial and the ultimate resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. Each calendar year we are reminded yet again of this singular and most important event in the Christian history therefore, as you listen to this particular podcast may it also bring you into that space that all...

Based on Luke 5:1-11 ‘Giving up for the Day’ is a reflection on what God can do with our frustration, when we are ready to give up. Simon Peter and his friends headed out to the sea, hoping for a big catch but to their disappointment nothing, not even a little crawfish. They toiled and toiled until they decided to call it off. But then, Jesus Christ showed up and borrowed their boats. Even though they were giving up for the day on fishing, little did they know that they were going to be a part o...

Based Mark 15:33-39 The Incredible Testimony to the Christ at the Cross’ podcast reflects on the actions of some of the primary witnesses present at the crucifixion who may or may not have been connected with Jesus Christ but found themselves as enthusiastic audience, captive audience and the participatory compliance audience. However, my focus in this podcast is on the testimony of the most improbable individual witness whose only business on that day was to see the crucifixion of Jesus Christ ...

Based on 1 Corinthians 1:18-24 The Twisted Cross of the Christ is a reflection on the Cross of the Christ as we approach the cyclical commemoration of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. It is therefore imperative to bring this subject to mind because the essence of the Cross of the Christ can so easily be lost on us and I reckoned that there is no better time than now to pierce our conscience about the subject. Although the cross has become the most notable insignia of the Christian faith world o...

Based on Psalm 42: 1-8 ‘ is a reminder of need to find God in our desperate struggles in these difficult times. We live in interesting times, a time of desperation like never before in recent history, people are sick, jobs are lost, members of the human family are dying in droves, global economy is crashing under its own weight, majority of the nations of the world are in dire situations, the science community is scrambling to respond appropriately and our lives have been distorted. But the chil...

Based on Matthew 25:1-13 Making ourselves Ready is a reflection on the fascinating story of what has become the wise and foolish virgins found in Matthew 25:1-13. The New Interpreter’s Bible Commentary stated the story of the wise and foolish virgins inspired the early Church greatly because the bridegroom was delayed and accorded the unprepared disciples ample time to prepare and as well present a sense of comfort to those persecuted for the sake of the name of Jesus Christ. However, for the tw...

Based on Habakkuk 2:1-4 “ The Allocated Time frame” is a reflection on the importance of the time frame God allocated to us all and how we must acknowledge it as it supersedes the manmade time. This is simply because God the Creator does not work according the dictate and machination of human beings and therefore not bound by natural remit. Throughout history man has been known to measure time by creating and recreating methods to define a given period, such as year, months, weeks, days, hours, ...

Based on Philippians 3:3-8 Desiring more: Beyond the Peripheral is a re-vibration of the importance life away from regular Christianity to life that is heavenly focused. We have so much going on in our world today that has the propensity to stop us from completing our heavenly race as it gets tougher. The only way we can be successful in the race is to learn to be conscious of where we are at every given moment, we need to become intentionally and intensely self-aware. To do that we must also le...

Based on Hebrews 11:13-16 Pressing Forward; Discounting the Opportunity to look back invites listeners of this Podcast to reflect on the timeline they are working on and the importance of recognising that God’s own time is always the best. Understanding the demarcation of time and space in the way that the Master of the universe understands it will bring us to freedom from total dependency on simulated calendar that is driven by man’s enthusiasm to be in charge. If anything, the COVID-19 pandemi...

Based on Isaiah 43:10-19 ‘A way in the Wilderness’ is an encouragement to believers in Jesus Christ in these trying times, to know that God is still in the business of making a way in the wilderness. We are practically in an uncharted territory, a strangely strange land which is the case today. The world as we know it has been on downward roller-coaster since the COVID-19 Pandemic hits us, it has damaged society all round and greatly altered our way of living. But we must learn to put our trust ...

Based on Genesis 1:1-5, Ordering the Disorderliness is a part of a reflection on the Genesis Creation Story. Regardless of controversies surrounding the story this podcast seek to bring to the fore the fact that God is able to bring order into disorderliness in our contemporary lives as He did in the Genesis’ account of creation. The one important lesson to learn from this message is this, God would never abandon his own, he so loves the world he created and by extension YOU, it doesn’t matter y...

Based on John 1:12-14 Christmas and the Elaborate Fable is a reflection on how we celebrate Christmas. It is December again, that time of the year when people prepare to celebrate Christmas. Each year serious believers in Jesus Christ ask the question, what are we celebrating? This is an important question because it is so easy to fall into the trap of tradition without knowing, especially Christless tradition. For the unbeliever there is no need to ask any question about the festival, they just...

Based on (John 14:1-6), Where would you spend your eternity? Is a clarion call to Christians and everyone else who cares about eternity to consider what they are doing about eternity. Eternity is a serious future to consider because of the ephemerality of this world.

Based on Philippians 3:13-16 ‘Prisoners of the Past’ invites believers in Jesus Christ to move away from being held prisoners of their past while recognising that the past establishes the future. This podcast draws on important lessons from the life and character of the Apostle Pauls as he encouraged the Philippian Church on the need to gather all their energies so as to focus on what was ahead of them. While we cannot change the past, it is possible to influence the future by what we do today. ...
