    WORD EXPLOSION| 2025 Edition | SESSION-5|ENLIGHTENED LIVING|CHIMDI & FUNKE OHAHUNA Join hosts Chimdi and Funke Ohahuna for an enlightening new episode of Word Explosion 2025 Edition as they conduct an intense and thorough study of the Gospel according to John. This episode is designed to deepen your understanding of God’s revelation through Jesus Christ, employing various translations of the scripture to shed light on fundamental truths that shape our faith. In The Divine Revelation in the Book of John, the Ohahuna duo will vividly unpack core passages, including John 1:9, which asserts that “In and through Jesus Christ, God revealed Himself, His works, and desires to Man.” They will guide listeners through key verses such as John 1:1-5 and John 1:14, connecting these insights to Hebrews 1:1-3 and 1 John 1:1-3. The focus will be on God’s longing for a genuine relationship with humanity, illustrating how Jesus serves as the perfect embodiment of that desire. Listeners will be captivated as they examine the weighty proclamation found in John 8:58, where Jesus declares, “Before Abraham was, I am.” This statement carries profound implications about His eternal existence and divinity. Chimdi and Funke will challenge the common view of God as a distant entity, illustrating instead how He yearns for a personal connection with each of us. They will also reflect on John 1:11, emphasizing the impact of Jesus coming to His own and not being received, highlighting the pain of disconnection between God and humanity. With heartfelt discussions and personal anecdotes, the hosts will remind us that God is deeply engaged with the human experience. He is not put off by our imperfections; rather, He walks alongside us, sharing in our struggles. As cited in Hebrews 4:15, Jesus is our high priest, intimately acquainted with our feelings of weakness. The hosts will emphasize that God is a reality in our lives—approachable, present, and eager to form a relationship. This episode invites you to embrace the true nature of God as revealed in the Book of John. With powerful insights and scriptural analysis, Chimdi and Funke encourage listeners to recognize the invitation God extends to us all: a call to fellowship, to know Him progressively, and to engage with Him in a meaningful way.

  • LIVING THE MESSAGE: So Much Preaching and So Little Living

    LIVING THE MESSAGE: So Much Preaching and So Little Living
    May 4 2025
    THE BOOK OF RUTH| GOD’S RESTORATION PLAN| Living the Message | Discipleship |Session-14 2025| CHIMDI OHAHUNA Welcome to this episode of our teaching session on the Book of Ruth, where we engage with profound truths that shape our Christian walk. Today, we will focus on Ruth 1:6-7 and 1 John 1:1, emphasizing that characterless Christianity fails to reveal Christ effectively. This session is titled “So Much Preaching and So Little Living”, a reflection on the challenges facing the Church today. Key Lesson Points: 1. God’s Schooling: The School of the Spirit - Unlike traditional Bible school, God's true education occurs in the school of the Spirit through our life experiences. This emphasizes the importance of allowing our lives to be influenced by the Holy Spirit rather than just accumulating knowledge. 2. Impact Beyond Words - 2 Corinthians 3:18 teaches us that people are not moved by eloquent words but by transformed lives. As Christians, our witness must extend beyond sermons and teachings; it must be demonstrated through our actions and the way we live. 3. Naomi’s Exemplary Life - Naomi serves as a powerful example of what it means to be a message from God. Her return to Bethlehem, filled with faith and resilience, communicated more about Yahweh than any spoken word could. This illustrates that our lives can serve as testimonies of God’s faithfulness. 4. Being the Message - We are all called to embody the message of Christ in our daily lives. When you live authentically as a follower of Jesus, your life transforms into a double effect — your actions preach as loudly as your words. 5. The Challenge of Pursuit - In our pursuits for livelihood and sustenance, can we still remain the message of Christ? Like Naomi, our commitment to reflecting Christ should not waver, even when we are focused on meeting our physical needs. 6. Authenticity as Witness - When people see and hear us, do they recognize the truth of the Gospel? Our authenticity and integrity as believers are crucial in pointing others to Christ. As we explore Naomi’s story in this session, let’s reflect on how we can be living messages of faith, hope, and love in our communities. May our actions resonate with the heart of God, showing others that believing in Christ is more than just a proclamation; it is a lifestyle characterized by His presence. Join us for this impactful teaching session, and let’s deepen our understanding of how to live out our faith authentically.

    WORD EXPLOSION| 2025 Edition | Session -3| ENLIGHTENED LIVING|CHIMDI & FUNKE OHAHUNA Welcome to Word Explosion 2025 Edition, where we embark on an intense and enlightening journey through the Book of John like never before! Join your hosts, Chimdi and Funke Ohahuna, on the GRACELIFECOMI podcast as we study the spiritual truths embedded in one of the most profound texts of the New Testament. In Session 3, we focus on John 1:9 and consider the concept of "ENLIGHTEN" — a call to not only understand but to embrace the spiritual insights that Jesus communicates. As we unpack the idea that Jesus Christ is the God-Man who transcended earthly limitations, we examine how He continues to embody both divine and human nature, even in Heaven. Our discussion highlights that while Jesus employed parables and physical illustrations, His essence was always rooted in conveying spiritual truth. Through thoughtful analysis of various translations, we affirm that, as stated in John 6:63, the essence of His messages is spirit and life. Here, we illustrate that the spiritual realm gives meaning to our physical experiences. We reflect on the paradox that while the preaching of the cross may seem foolish to some, it is undeniably "the power of God" to those who are being saved (1 Corinthians 1:18). Join us as we reveal how faith allows us to comprehend divine realities — as outlined in Hebrews 11:3 — showcasing the profound connection between spiritual understanding and our earthly experiences. In Matthew 4:4, we learn that our sustenance comes not from physical bread alone, but from every word that flows from the mouth of God. Our discussion will also include powerful insights from John 8:3-9 and Hebrews 4:11, emphasizing that the Word of God is a powerful tool, sharper than any two-edged sword, capable of discerning the depths of our hearts and intentions. We will uncover how spirituality positions us to see beyond the surface, understanding the thoughts that lie within and the power of Jesus' knowledge. With each session, we invite you to engage with the text, seeking a greater understanding and practical application of its teachings. If you're ready to ignite your spiritual journey and study the Book of John with us this year, tune in and get ready for an explosive experience!

    WORD EXPLOSION| 2025 Edition | SESSION-2|ENLIGHTENED LIVING|CHIMDI & FUNKE OHAHUNA Join hosts Chimdi and Funke Ohahuna for an intense exploration of the Book of John in the 2025 Edition of Word Explosion. Engage with the GRACELIFECOMI community as we use various translations to unlock the profound truths contained within this Gospel. This study goes beyond the surface, providing an expository examination designed for believers eager for a fuller understanding of Jesus Christ and His teachings. In Session 2, we focus on John 1:9 through the perspective of the TCNT translation. Here, we reveal the incredible purpose of Jesus—He came to enlighten and instruct all humanity toward eternal success, which can only be found in Him. Our discussion will reflect on essential teachings derived from Matthew 5:2-9 and Mark 9:31a, underscoring that Jesus’ ministry is characterized more by His teachings than His miracles. When illuminated by the truth of God’s Word, we become living testimonies, just like the first Apostles. We will also examine the essence of preaching and teaching. According to Matthew 28:19-20, preaching is about presenting Jesus—the Word of God—while teaching involves a deeper explanation of His truths. Throughout this session, we will explore what Jesus revealed about: 1. The Father God: Discover how Jesus unveils the nature of the Father through His actions, affirming that He is the only true revelation of God (John 14:7-9; John 14:6). Learn how Acts 10:38 illustrates that God’s nature is fundamentally good and healing. 2. The Kingdom of God: Understand Jesus’ passionate instruction regarding God’s Kingdom as recorded in Mark 1:14-15 and how we must embody these teachings, reflecting God’s rule and reign in our lives (Romans 14:17; Mark 10:17-18; Matthew 16:16). As we engage with the Scriptures, we will remind ourselves that we are more than mere imitators of Christ. His essence resides in us, empowering us to live a life that truly reflects Him—not just appearing like Christ, but embodying His very presence. Tune in to Word Explosion 2025 Edition, where the Word comes alive, and become part of a community dedicated to growing in faith, understanding, and practical application of Christ’s teachings!

In this episode, we center our attention on the powerful message found in John 6:11, where Jesus exhibits the miraculous act of distribution, not just of five Barley loaves and two small fishes, but of His divine gifts to us, His disciples and successors. Join us as we examine the significance of gifts imparted by the Holy Spirit, referencing 1 Corinthians 12:4-11 and 28. These gifts are not mere tokens of grace; they are essential tools for ministry with the purpose of building the body of Christ. The Holy Spirit takes joy in bestowing a variety of gifts within the Church, ensuring that every disciple has a pivotal role in God’s design (1 Corinthians 12:12-14). Throughout this study session, we will contemplate important questions: What has Jesus divided among us? How does the Holy Spirit initiate our adoption into the Beloved (family of God)? And, why is our understanding of unity in the Spirit essential for overcoming divisions among us? Discover how the true strength of the Church lies not in material possessions, but rather in the number of disciples actively exercising their gifts. We will clarify the idea of "profit withal" in 1 Corinthians 12:7, focusing on our collective mission of soul winning, which is central to Christ's purpose (2 Peter 3:9). Guided by the Great Commission (Matthew 28:19-20), discover the importance of fellowship over merely using our gifts. As successors of Christ, we are called to grow in our understanding and relationships within the body of Christ. Join us as we emphasize the importance of nurturing spiritual growth, ensuring that our gifts contribute positively to the mission of leading souls to salvation.
