GO FORWARD CONFERENCE|| DEC 2024| DAY 6 (part c) | RECONCILIATION THROUGH THE MINISTRY OF SAINTS | CHIMDI OHAHUNA

In this episode, we explore God's next move: reconciling mankind to God through the ministry of the saints. This pivotal move is rooted in the purpose of Jesus' death, which was to grant eternal life to all who believe in Him. The Bible tells us that God sent His Son not to condemn the world but that the world might be saved through Him. God's desire is salvation, not condemnation or destruction.

Peter reminds us that God is patient, not wanting anyone to perish but for all to come to repentance. This highlights God’s immense love for humanity. God's love is universal, extending to everyone, for God is love. Love is enduring pain for the gain of others, as demonstrated by Jesus' sacrifice. He lived with suffering and died an excruciating death to grant us eternal life.

The purpose of redemption was to reveal God's profound love for mankind. After accomplishing redemption, the next step is to maximize and utilize this redemption through reconciliation. This is God's fourth move, ensuring that the work of redemption is fully realized.

Reconciliation involves getting mankind involved in God’s redemptive work. Isaiah invites us to reason together with God, emphasizing partnership. God created man to share in His glory and enforce His will on earth. Without reconciliation, the purpose of redemption remains incomplete.

We praise God for our redemption and salvation, His greatest work on earth. Our partnership with God is essential, and the greatest move for the saints is the ministry of reconciliation. Just as God partnered with Adam, giving him the responsibility to name the animals, He calls us to partner with Him in His redemptive plan.

God wants us to be involved in His work, showing His love and desire for partnership. The ministry of reconciliation is given to every child of God, requiring us to be evangelists. How will people hear if no one preaches to them? Evangelism is crucial for reconciliation, as it spreads the message of salvation.

Join us in this episode as we delve into the importance of reconciliation through the ministry of the saints. Discover how God’s immense love calls us to partner with Him, ensuring that redemption is fully utilized through reconciliation. Let’s embrace our role in God’s plan and spread the message of salvation to the world.

Prayer: LORD, HELP US TO FULFILL THE MINISTRY OF RECONCILIATION AND SPREAD YOUR LOVE TO ALL.

Grace to you!

Jesus is Lord.

GO FORWARD CONFERENCE|| DEC 2024| DAY 5 (part b) | UNDERSTANDING GOD'S MOVES FROM CREATION TO CHRIST| CHIMDI OHAHUNA

 The Move of God: From Atonement to Eternal Redemption

In today's episode, we explore God's second operation on earth—man's atonement for sin. This move followed the initial act of creation and laid the groundwork for understanding the ultimate atoning work of Jesus Christ.

Exodus 30:10 instructs that atonement should be made once a year, a practice that pointed towards the necessity of a greater, eternal redemption. Hebrews 9:12 reveals that Jesus, by His own blood, entered the holy place once for all, securing eternal redemption for us. Unlike the yearly atonements that never perfected the one making the offering, Jesus' sacrifice was a one-time, all-sufficient act that accomplished eternal redemption.

This second move of God demonstrated the limitations of human atonement and highlighted the need for a Savior. Jesus’ sacrifice was not just another offering but the ultimate propitiation for our sins, fulfilling what the Old Testament practices symbolized. His blood provided what the blood of bulls and goats could not—eternal redemption.

Hebrews 13:12 tells us that Jesus suffered outside the gate to sanctify people with His own blood, emphasizing the all-encompassing nature of His sacrifice. While the blood of animals could not redeem humanity from sin, Jesus' blood achieved total and absolute redemption.

We learn that redemption is a comprehensive act—purchasing us entirely, freeing us from the bondage of sin. Justification, being declared not guilty by God, comes only through this act of redemption. Through a divine exchange, our sins were placed on Jesus, and His righteousness was imparted to us. When God looks at us now, He sees the righteousness of Christ, not our past sins.

1 Corinthians 1:30 tells us that Christ has become our wisdom, righteousness, sanctification, and redemption. This eternal redemption cannot be undone; it is a non-refundable, non-returnable act that secures our place in God’s family forever.

The journey of atonement, from Gethsemane to the Cross, underscores the depth of Jesus’ sacrifice. Each drop of His blood was strategic, marking locations of atonement and symbolizing the ultimate fulfillment of God's redemptive plan.

Understanding redemption transforms our lives. It empowers us to praise and celebrate God, knowing our salvation is secure and eternal. This profound move of God—the greatest on earth—calls us to live in the light of our redemption, continually seeking deeper understanding and appreciation of this divine gift.

Join us as we dig deeper into the significance of this second move of God, exploring how it paves the way for eternal redemption and transforms our relationship with Him. May we gain a deeper understanding of redemption and live fully in the light of His grace.

LORD, GRANT US A DEEPER UNDERSTANDING OF REDEMPTION.

GO FORWARD CONFERENCE|| DEC 2024| DAY 4 (part c) | UNDERSTANDING GOD'S MOVES FROM CREATION TO CHRIST| CHIMDI OHAHUNA

In our ongoing exploration of God's divine operations, we have journeyed from the first move of creation to the vital lessons of atonement. Initially, we examined how the Holy Spirit hovered over the earth and God spoke, marking the first move of creation. This act showcased the combined power of the Holy Spirit and the Word of God.

Next, we considered God's provision for atonement following the fall of Adam and Eve. Humanity began making atonement for sins through animal sacrifices, demonstrating that sin is equal before God and requiring equal atonement across all classes. This practice highlighted human limitations and the need for a Savior, pointing us to Christ.

The law, given as a schoolmaster, was meant to lead us to Christ by revealing our need for divine help. As we grow spiritually, we learn the importance of total dependence on God. Only the blood of Jesus provides absolute atonement for our sins, emphasizing our need for God's forgiveness and the transformative power of confession.

We explored the significance of Christ's final atonement, which fulfilled the law and ushered us into a new covenant of grace. This understanding calls us to focus entirely on Jesus, continually seeking His guidance and allowing Him to control every aspect of our lives.

By keeping our gaze on Jesus, we can transform and ascend to new levels of glory. The journey from the law to grace underscores the essence of our faith: moving beyond mere rules to a deep, personal relationship with Christ.

Join us as we continue to focus on Jesus, the ultimate revelation of God's glory, and embrace the higher levels of spiritual transformation He has in store for us.

LORD, in this move, we focus on Jesus. We look unto Him and behold His glory. Nothing will take our focus from Jesus.

CHIMDI M. OHAHUNA|COMMANDING THE YEAR 2025| RESTORATION Series - DAY 25: REDEFINING TRUE FORTUNE

Welcome to the grand finale of our Restoration Series. In this concluding episode, we reflect on Psalm 126:4, "Restore Our Fortunes, Oh LORD," and look into the profound understanding of fortune and restoration from a divine perspective.

Fortune, often associated with wealth, can change as times change. Hence, our trust must be in God, not in fleeting fortunes. The true wealth of a person lies in their character, not in monetary riches. Jesus exemplified this by being rich in glory, not finances.

As we redefine fortune, it's crucial to realize that competing with darkness instead of shining the light of the Gospel is not the Church’s calling. Every time we chase after earthly fortune, it pulls us away from true worship. Worship is not just about songs; it's a lifestyle for the New Creation.

Restoration calls us back to where we missed it, with Christ in us as the hope of glory. For believers, fortune is not a prosperity achieved through luck but by grace. Misinterpretations of the word of truth have led to many feeling unfortunate, but understanding fortune correctly brings true prosperity.

Who we are is determined by our inner self, not our environment. Even if our surroundings are limited, it does not mean we are limited. Without understanding fortune, believers can feel unfortunate, but with God's wisdom and the continuous inflow of His Word, we thrive and rise above our circumstances.

We must be attuned to the flow of God's Word in this season of restoration. Restoration involves a constant intake of God’s Word, leading to spiritual growth and transformation. Each wave of restoration is massive, driven by a fresh understanding of our identity in Christ.

Join us in this powerful finale as we explore the true meaning of fortune, the importance of character, and the role of grace in our prosperity. Discover how to stay focused on God rather than material wealth and embrace the lifestyle of worship that marks the New Creation.

Tune in for an enlightening and uplifting session on allowing God's Word to shape our understanding of fortune and experiencing the profound restoration He promises. Let's end this series with a renewed sense of purpose, faith, and gratitude for God's unfailing love and grace.

LORD, HELP US TO TRUST IN YOU AND EMBRACE THE TRUE FORTUNE OF YOUR RESTORATION.

Grace to you!

Jesus is Lord.

CHIMDI M. OHAHUNA|COMMANDING THE YEAR 2025| RESTORATION Series - DAY 24: EMBRACING THE PRESENT FOR A PROMISING FUTURE

Welcome to Day 24 of our Restoration Series. Today, we focus on Psalm 126:4 which implores the LORD to "Return our Exiles/Captivity." This plea acknowledges that being in exile indicates a previous state of well-being that now feels lost. When God addresses our current state, He also deals with both the past and the future, emphasizing that He isn't concerned with the "good old days" but with the latter rain, former rain, and the glory of His latter house.

God wants us to remain present, preparing for a better future rather than reminiscing. Living in exile often means that the past seems better than the present. However, we are called to engage effectively in the present because God has a promising tomorrow for us. Restoration comes when we give today to God, by so doing, making tomorrow better than yesterday.

The miraculous power of God is more than enough to handle our future. Keeping today in our own hands may result in no change, but offering it to God brings supernatural transformation. Until God's Word touches our current circumstances, they remain unchanged. The way we present our present mess to God shapes our future.

While God's revelation ensures a certain future, human motivation can be uncertain. God’s vision for us is global, encompassing the entire earth, rather than confined to a specific location. Continuously moving in search of material things, instead of seeking God and living in Him, can lead to dislocation.

We are encouraged not to live in the fantasy of the past or maintain the status quo but to surrender our today to God. Exile, in a figurative sense, can also mean a previous state of prosperity now lost. If God has given us the present, it’s because He has a future for us. Captivity presents an opportunity to channel, create, and decide the future. By giving today to God, we shape a better tomorrow.

Join us as we explore these themes and pray for the grace to offer our present to God, trusting Him to mold our future. Discover the importance of living in the present with faith, understanding that God's vision is far-reaching and His restoration is comprehensive.

Listen to this inspiring teaching on embracing today with hope and anticipation of God’s restorative power, ensuring a brighter and more fulfilling tomorrow.

LORD, HELP US TO WISELY GIVE OUR TODAY TO YOU AND TRUST YOU FOR A BETTER TOMORROW.

Grace to you!

Jesus is Lord.
