Based on Daniel 3:16-28 Glowing in the enemy’s Furnace seek to inspire believers in Christ Jesus to serve God regardless of circumstances. To do that the Child of God must know God, love God, serve God and seek eternal destiny with God. Daniel 3:16-28 presents us an excellent example of people who served God regardless of the benefits they would get from God who made them. The trio, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego who were of Hebrew origin and held in Babylonian captivity were confronted with a ...

Habakkuk 2:1-4 the ‘Divine Calendar: God’s Waiting Room’ is a reminder to God’s children everywhere of the need to recognise God’s Calendar above the material and man - made calendar. God’s calendar and his time is another form of exposing God’s character to those yet to believe in his faithfulness, we must be patient with ourselves, with others and with God. Prophet Hababbuk was confronted with apparently insurmountable situations, instead of staring blankly at nothing or complaining to emptine...

Based on Revelation 2:1-7, ‘The Church Christ Built’ is a reminder of what followers of Jesus Christ are called to be. It is important for believers to know that the church is Christ’s idea, but Christianity isn’t, when the disciples accepted those labels, they had issues with being church first. This is because, once an entity is named it has to have a natural structure that reflects society. The Ephesian church was close to what we can call perfection and yet there is no such thing as perfect ...

Based on (1 John 1:1-5) Understanding the Nature and Character of God 2: reminds believers of the importance of not only knowing the nature and the character of God but making the revelation an integral part of the life of the believer in Christ Jesus. The disciples of Jesus Christ did not follow undefined trajectories of truth but a wholesome and undeniable truth that has the propensity to save. Mike further encouraged believers to approach God’s Word with reverence and as a single thread of th...

Based on Exodus 15:22-27, Journey Through the Barren Land invites God’s people to embrace God in their difficulty and see the hands of God in it. Each day that we live in this life is like a Journey through the barren land, not in terms of material things as some have it more than others but I am talking about the intangible aspects of life, that which is spiritually inclined, that intrinsic reverential response to something significantly sacred. (Hebrews 11:16) describes the lives of those who ...

Based on Matthew 27:55-6 ‘Hope in Grief’ invites believers to take a closer look at the circumstances surrounding the sad event of Jesus’ death, burial, and resurrection so as to understand that no matter how unpalatable a situation might appear, for the child of God there would always be a reason to be hopeful. The women in our key passage today were resilient even in their grieve for Christ, they refused to be intimidated by the soldiers and the authorities, they had hope in their grieve, that...

Based on Luke 23:20-33 What’s on your Calvary Memoir? Is a reflection on Jesus’ personal calvary journal and how believers should mirror their lives on his as well. The journey of our faith surely began at Calvary, if this is the case then from time to time, we must endeavour to continue to pay frequent visit to our Calvary Memoir because that is where we can reflect on and refresh our walk with God in this present time. It is my prayer that this podcast blesses you. Amen! Portraits of Hope: Car...

Based on 2 Samuel 12:1-13 “The importance of Brokenness before the Lord” calls listeners of this podcast to reflect on their own vulnerability as children of the most High God and not to see themselves as those who have reached the zenith of their walk with God. King David learnt the lesson of brokenness through his habitual sin even though he was a man after God’s heart. The Bible is full of stories of individuals who were broken, the difference is the fact that they recognise the importance of...

Based on 2 Kings 6:1-7 ‘The Miracle of Recovery’ is a reflection on the intriguing story of the ‘lost axe’ recovered by miracle. Life can be tough, we lose things that we love such as family members, friends, and jobs; sometimes, we recover them and at other times we don’t. This podcast focuses our thoughts on the miracle of the recovery of things that are important to us even when it seems trivial to others.

CHRIST the GAME CHANGER, sequel to the podcast ‘A New Adam Emerges’ (30th January 2022) reflects on the theological problem of evil resulting from Adam’s failure. In this Podcast Pastor Mike interrogates Adam’s eventual fall against God’s integrity to sustain His creation. The failure of the first Adam did not happen extemporary, God was aware in His omniscience; the fall conversely orchestrated the entrance of the second Adam who is Jesus Christ the game changer. It is our prayer that as you li...

Based on Exodus 3:1-6 When the Bush fails to Burn is a reflection on Moses’ encounter with the phenomenal manifestation of God’s presence in the Burning Bush that failed to be consumed. The underlying question in this podcast is this, what if Moses did not step aside to look? Maybe the very act of stepping aside to see the wonder unfolding before him is the real miracle and not the burning bush itself. We have been engineered by contemporary society to know first, that is to understand the scien...

Based on the creation narrative (Genesis 1) ‘A New Adam Emerges’ brought to you by Pastor Ufah Mike Aba from Benue State Nigeria, reflects on the purpose of God in creating human beings in his own image. God in his fore knowledge created man in his own very image to be the specimen for engineering the prototype man. The creation narrative is a complex tapestry to the critical mind but not to God because He (himself) is the Designer of all things. Each time a person confesses Christ a new Adam em...

Based on Deuteronomy 34:1-12, ‘Seeing beyond the borders of your material Destination’ is a reflection on the calling of Moses to his eternal destination. Growing up, most of us I believe were fascinated by the intriguing story of a profound man of God named Moses, we are captivated by the story of his birth, how he was placed in a basket and left to float until providence led the Egyptian princess to find and adopt him. Moses, grew up to discover his identity, killed a man and subsequently fled...

Based on (Isaiah 43:16-21) Striking a New Rhythm of life encourages listeners of Pneuma Podcast to take advantage of the promises of God available to them in this new season. You may be familiar with the axiom, “opportunity comes but once” However, I would like to say to you today that each new season is another opportunity to strike a new rhythm of life especially if you are a child of the Most High God.

Based on Luke 13:6-9, “Rejigging your life anew in this season” considers the fact that the past couple of years has been challenging for all of us, especially for believers in Jesus Christ whose habit of fellowship with one another was impacted, however, the story Jesus told of the Garden and Gardener in our key text is comforting. Like the vineyard or garden we have someone who cares so much to advocate on our behalf, and it is also marvelous to know that we have a merciful God, willing to ext...

Based on Luke 18:10-14 ‘Self-righteous Moral Performance is not enough’ invites listeners to consider the interesting story of the two temple prayer warriors and to help listeners rethink their intentions and content of their prayers. This episode also teaches that salvation comes not by way of merit but by way of mercy, this is because the difference between the pharisee and the tax collector was not their apparent actions, but in the true state of their hearts. I pray that this podcast blesses...

Based on Isaiah 53:1-6 ‘Christ the Wounded Healer’ is a reflection on the potency of the finished work of Calvary where Jesus Christ was wounded and suffered and died so that we can be healed. The complexity of the world makes it hard for us to make sense of it. Each passing day brings us face to face with trials and tribulations that causes us great doubt about our own mortal existence and our environments. However, the Word of God connects us directly to God the creator in such a powerful way ...

Based on (1 Kings 5:1-7) ‘A Temple in Honour of God’ is a reflection on the importance of who we are in God and His expectation of us. In building the famous Solomon’s Temple, King Solomon understood the importance of choice materials and how to negotiate for them, he wanted the best of materials and knew exactly where and how to get them. That was because he understood that, although God does not reside materially in a temple and that he cannot in the real sense build a house for God he is well...

Based on Genesis 45:3-11, 15 and Luke 6:27-38, Grace to Forgive is a reflection on our attitude towards those who wrongs us. When we hear or read about serious crimes, the natural and immediate human reaction is to seek for appropriate justice to be served yet the scripture encourages us to love, to do good, to bless and to pray for our enemies even those who harms or have the potential to cause us harm. The story of Joseph also offers us an insight into modern day practice of Restorative Justic...

Based on Revelation 2:1-5 & 3:14-19 the Church’s Spiritual Map, a message preached at one of the Wesleyan Reformed Union Churches in England.

Based on Hebrews 12:1-4 ‘Centring On Jesus Christ For Eternal Trophy’ looks at the first -four verses of the book of Hebrews chapter 12, they are verses 1 to 4. The Book of Hebrews as most of you know is one of those books that is so apt and indispensable instrument to the passionate follower of Jesus Christ, simply because its ascribed writer was an individual totally sold out to the cause of Christ. The key text today appears to spell out in the clearest terms what is it that the Christian mus...

Based on Luke 15:17–24 ‘Never far away from the Father’s Heart’ is a reflection on one of the most beautiful father-child relationship narratives in the Bible, it tells of the deep intrinsic human relationship that is beyond compression, it is an emotional story of what it means to love someone regardless of their shortcomings and misgivings, above all it is a reflection on what constitutes the agape love. Although story is commonly called the prodigal son, but today, I would like to spin it a l...

Based on Philippians 3:1-11, the purpose of this Podcast, “Knowing the fellowship of Christ’s’ Suffering”, is not to castigate or interrogate your relationship with the Most High God but to engage and to encourage you to examine the level of the intensity of your fellowship with God. The passage helps us to understand the fundamentals of the processes that would lead us to the kind of fellowship that the Apostle Paul desired which should also be the desire of any God-chaser serious about eternit...

Based on Psalm 125 1-5 ‘Crossing the Turbulence Zone in Life’ uses the metaphor of flying to explain how fearful we can be when crossing our turbulence zones and also how we can place our trust in the God who created and pre-protected us like Mount Zion that is reliable at all times and in all weather conditions. This podcast is therefore, created to encourage listeners to stay constant and stable when crossing turbulence in life as they would surely pass in due course. It is my prayers that thi...

Based on Jonah 1:4-16 ‘The need for Spiritual Jettison’ is an encouragement from one believer to another about the need to cast off the unnecessary cargo that has the potential to sink your spiritual ship. Jettison is an intentional act of throwing overboard of cargo, or of part of the vessel's superstructure, to lighten a vessel so as to stabilise it during turbulence. Whenever, there is a turbulence in your life, rather than worry about why the storm is there, you should instead find the reaso...

Based on Mark 4:35-41 ‘Dealing with the challenges of faith’ challenges your traditional belief system that assume that once you are following Jesus there will be no challenge. It is unrealistic to think that you can follow Jesus without tests or challenges because a faith that has not been tested cannot be trusted, walking with God would undoubtedly be rough but we are guaranteed safe arrival at our destination which is the most important aspect our journey with Christ. It is my prayer that thi...

Based on Matthew 17:1-9 “A step closer to Destiny” is a reflection on our journeys of following through with God’s desire for us to reach our divine programs we call destiny. I assume you must know by now that the journey of life is supernatural and as well as natural which all mortals are compelled to embark on, and as a result, each new day is a step closer to your destiny, nevertheless, the steps we take matters as they will have eternal consequence on our souls when we are done from this sid...

Based on 1 Kings 19:9-14 Unpredictable reliable God is a reflection on our expectations of God’s action over our lives. This podcast calls listeners to consider surrendering their expectations of God’s action to God as any attempt to predict divine action amounts to a direct incarceration of God in our mental and emotional fabricated cubicle that is clearly incapable of encapsulating all that is God, including His character, and His nature. It is, therefore, my earnest prayer that listeners of t...
