CHIMDI M. OHAHUNA|COMMANDING THE YEAR 2025| RESTORATION Series - DAY 14: THE JOURNEY OF DIVINE PARTNERSHIP FOR RESTORATION

Welcome to Day 14 of our Restoration Series, where we explore the profound act of partnering with God through prayer, ensuring we align with His divine timing and plans. In this teaching, we consider the powerful truth that we pray to partner with God, not to go ahead of Him. Using the story of Joseph as a case study, we understand that God can restore us in a single day, demonstrating His unmatched power and timing.

The Book of Psalm 126:2-4 reminds us that loud laughter, which is public and global, signifies the triumphant work God has accomplished. This laughter is not just a reaction, but a proclamation of God's restorative tasks, intimidating the enemy and showcasing His glory. Restoration is a plan God has already blessed, and through prayer, we position ourselves to receive this divine restoration.

Sensitivity to God's promptings is crucial. We must be active participants in what God requires of us, avoiding the temptation to seek alternatives that lead to delays, much like bringing forth Ishmael instead of waiting for Isaac. God desires to do speedy work in us, and our responsiveness is key.

Salvation is for our eternal benefit, and all blessings in Christ are tools for reconciling others to the Father. Anything in our lives that cannot be attributed to God is not worth celebrating, for His ways are spiritually discerned. Prayer is the means by which we enforce what God has already accomplished.

In this episode, we emphasize the importance of aligning with God's timing, remaining sensitive to His guidance, and celebrating the public declaration of His works in our lives. Join us as we explore how to pray effectively, partner with God, and experience the fullness of His restoration.

Tune in for an inspiring session that encourages faith, patience, and unwavering trust in God's perfect plan for our lives. Let's journey together in divine partnership, celebrating the restoration that God has promised and accomplished.

Grace to you!

Jesus is Lord.

CHIMDI M. OHAHUNA|COMMANDING THE YEAR 2025| RESTORATION Series - DAY 13: PARTNERING WITH GOD FOR RESTORATION

Welcome to Day 13 of our Restoration Series. In this teaching episode, we focus on the profound truth that God is the Ultimate Restorer, and our role is to partner with Him through prayer and His Word. Referencing Joel 2:28 and Matthew 7:7, we explore the idea that only God can restore, and until it is His time, we won't experience the fullness of restoration. God's eternal voice aligns with our temporal world to fulfill His promises in Christ.

Prayer is our alignment tool, helping us connect with what God is saying through His Word. This is why it’s essential to both pray and study scripture. Prayer is our conversation with God, and studying the Word is how He speaks to us. Instead of interpreting or debating scripture, we must draw out the truth already written to obtain mercy, as emphasized in Matthew 11:23.

Also, discover the personal nature of God's call and how Psalm 126:2 highlights the spread of news about His restorative power. People's voices play a crucial role in this narrative—some will speak in joy and truth, while others may speak in derision. Regardless, God ultimately takes the glory.

This teaching also underscores the importance of prayer and study of God’s word in experiencing God’s restoration. We ask God to ignite conversations about His restorative power in our lives, using the voices of people to spread the good news. The role of the voice of people is important in spreading the news of God’s restorative power. Some people will talk in pleasure and rightly while some will talk in derision and all lies but in all God takes the glory.

Join us for an insightful discussion on how to partner with God in the journey of restoration, ensuring His promises manifest in our lives. Let’s embrace the discipline of prayer and the study of His Word to fully experience His transformative power. Tune in for a powerful session on aligning with God's eternal plans and witnessing His glory in our restoration journey.

Grace to you!

Jesus is Lord.

CHIMDI M. OHAHUNA|COMMANDING THE YEAR 2025| RESTORATION Series - DAY 12: ENDURING THROUGH SEASONS OF TRIAL

Welcome to Day 12 of our Restoration Series. In this teaching, we consider the notion that when God takes you through a season, it is because He is thinking of you, as highlighted in Psalm 126:2. This episode emphasizes that the trials and tribulations we face are part of a divine process designed to bring us to a greater level of restoration.

We explore the profound idea that in this season of restoration, even those who oppose us—the heathen, enemy, and wicked—will be the ones sharing testimonies of our transformation and success. This is a powerful testament to the work God is doing in our lives, often behind the scenes.

Discover also the reality that successful people often begin to see true success during times of apparent failure. It's during these challenging periods that perseverance and faith are tested. If the enemy can stop us during these times, then he has won. But we must never allow captivity to keep us in perpetual bondage.

While desiring a breakthrough, it is crucial to keep moving forward and not remain stagnant. Standstill is the enemy of progress. In this episode, we encourage you to keep pressing forward, holding onto God's prophetic word, and trusting in His timing and process.

Tune in to find encouragement, strength, and divine insight as we navigate through the seasons of trials and the journey toward restoration. Let's embrace the understanding that God is always thinking of us, even amid our most challenging times, and that our breakthrough is on the horizon. Join us for an uplifting and transformative discussion on enduring through seasons of trial.

Grace to you!

Jesus is Lord.

CHIMDI M. OHAHUNA|COMMANDING THE YEAR 2025| RESTORATION Series - DAY 11: THE JOURNEY TO A JOYFUL SHOUT

Welcome to Day 11 of our Restoration Series, where we delve into the profound process of holding onto God's prophetic Word through time until it manifests beautifully in eternity. Today, we explore the critical importance of spiritual sensitivity in building a meaningful relationship with God. Understanding the promptings of the Spirit is essential to navigate life's journey successfully.

Drawing inspiration from Psalm 126:2, which speaks of a "tongue formed joyful shout," discover how captivity serves as a training ground, developing discipline and fostering a season of unending happiness. This time of trial teaches us humility and happiness, shaping us into resilient individuals ready for God's promises.

Joy, we learn, is a spiritual state—a consistent inner condition that aligns our soul and body with our spirit. A joyful shout is not merely a reaction to external happenings but a result of consistency and spiritual maturity formed over time. It is this joyful shout, cultivated during times of captivity, that sustains us through life's challenges.

We emphasize the importance of emotional stability, which results from maintaining a joyful shout consistently. This stability is not dependent on external circumstances but is rooted in a deep, unshakeable spiritual disposition. Instead of the popular notion of "fake it till you make it," we focus on forming a genuine shout of joy that reflects our true spiritual state.

Join us as we explore practical ways to concentrate on areas of life where we can be consistent and develop this joyful shout. Discover how embracing this divine process leads to a life filled with unending joy and spiritual fulfillment. Tune in for an enriching and uplifting discussion on the journey to a joyful shout, a testament to God's enduring faithfulness in our lives.

Grace to you!

Jesus is Lord.

CHIMDI M. OHAHUNA|COMMANDING THE YEAR 2025| RESTORATION Series - DAY 10:  THE POWER OF PRAYER AND TRUTH

In today’s episode of the Restoration Series, we explore the vital role of prayer and truth in shaping us into who God has created us to be. Drawing from Psalm 126 and other scriptures, we delve into how God uses prayer to build the necessary discipline in us, often using problems as a catalyst to bring us into deeper communion with Him.

Prayer isn’t just a personal necessity; it’s also crucial for the liberation and emancipation of the destinies tied to us. As we grow through prayer, we learn that merely following principles or ways that seem to work isn’t enough—they must align with God’s truth. Accepting and applying this truth is the key to obtaining mercy, moving beyond mere pleas for mercy to a life transformed by it.

Discover the importance of experience over mere talk and how true knowledge is balanced by lived experience. Recognizing when our past appears better than our present is a sign of captivity, reminding us that spiritual emancipation must manifest physically to be complete.

Understanding that facts around us are real but can be superimposed by divine truth is crucial. John 14:6 reminds us that truth doesn't ignore facts but uses them to reveal and destroy their power over us. We must leverage the finished work of Christ to address every physical condition negating our New Creation status, ensuring our future surpasses our past through persistent prayer.

God’s intention is for us to shout for happiness more than we cry. He wants us to live in a constant state of spiritual joy, experiencing happiness through life’s positive events without compromising our spiritual walk. Happiness, derived from happenings, doesn’t make a Spirit-controlled believer any less spiritual.

Join us as we discuss how embracing God’s process, rooted in prayer and truth, leads to a life of restoration and unending joy. Tune in for an enlightening and encouraging session on building a disciplined and joyful life through divine principles.

Grace to you!

Jesus is Lord.

CHIMDI M. OHAHUNA|COMMANDING THE YEAR 2025| RESTORATION Series - DAY 9:  THE PROCESS OF DIVINE RESTORATION

In today’s episode of our Restoration Series, we consider deeply the profound journey of faith, patience, and divine intervention. Join us as we explore how to embody both the person and principles of Jesus, drawing inspiration from Psalm 126:2-4. This passage marks a season of God's continuous works, filled with laughter and shouts of joy.

Discover how sometimes, God allows our plans to fail so His counsel prevails, ensuring that no one shares in His glory as highlighted in Jeremiah 29. This episode sheds light on the enigmatic nature of God's guidance, reminding us that discernment is crucial; what appears to be from God sometimes isn’t, and what doesn’t seem divine may very well be His work.

Our journey through times of despair and captivity can become an intense period of prayer and deeper connection with God, as we learn from Exodus 1:11. These trials bring out the warrior within us and set the stage for endless joy. After captivity, laughter follows, reflecting God’s desire for our joy to surpass our sorrows.

God uses our struggles to build our strength and capacity, preparing us to possess the land of rest He has promised. He enlarges us through distress, crafting us into resilient individuals ready for His plans. Until people and nations recognize our transformation, we are still on our journey out of captivity.

Tune in as we uncover the importance of enduring the divine process, understanding that God builds us for sudden turnarounds, ensuring that when they come, we are ready to embrace their magnitude without being overwhelmed. Join us in prayer and reflection as we seek God’s guidance and celebrate His restoration in our lives.

Grace to you!

Jesus is Lord.

CHIMDI M. OHAHUNA|COMMANDING THE YEAR 2025| RESTORATION Series - DAY 8: EMBRACING THE JOYFUL TURNAROUND

Key Scriptures:

- Psalm 126:1-4 (vs. 2) - "Our mouths were filled with laughter, our tongues with songs of joy. Then it was said among the nations, 'The Lord has done great things for them.'"

-Genesis 21:6- "Sarah said, 'God has brought me laughter, and everyone who hears about this will laugh with me.'"

In this uplifting episode of the Restoration Series, we delve into the transformative power of God’s word, which ushers us into new seasons of life. Every prophetic word declared over a year brings a fresh season, and the seasons may overlap, requiring us to enforce the Word God has given us continually.

We explore the profound joy described in Psalm 126:2, where the testimony of God’s deliverance is expressed through overwhelming laughter. This laughter signifies a state of having no more problems to solve, a continuous flow of joy sustained by God Himself. It’s an experience of divine succession of laughter, where you truly experience God the sustainer of all things, at this level.

Genesis 21:6 further emphasizes that a mouth full of laughter is a contagious blessing. This laughter brings joy to both those who love you and those who may have opposed you. It's a multifaceted laughter—one of pleasure and amazement, reflecting the total turnaround God brings.

 This episode underscores the release of the Spirit and grace of laughter, a profound joy that overflows from within.

When God turns your captivity, the joy is so overwhelming that it manifests as laughter, a testimony to His great works. This episode is a celebration of that divine joy, highlighting that the happiness God bestows is not dependent on external circumstances but is an inward transformation that spills over, impacting those around you.

Join us as we revel in the spirit of laughter, understanding that true restoration is marked by an overflow of joy and a testimony of God's sustaining power. This episode is an invitation to embrace the laughter that comes with divine deliverance and to share in the contagious joy that transforms lives.

CHIMDI M. OHAHUNA|COMMANDING THE YEAR 2025| RESTORATION Series - DAY 7: THE GOD OF PROCESS - Embracing the Journey to Transformation

Key Scripture:

Psalm 126:1-4 - "When the Lord restored the well-being of Zion, we thought we were dreaming. Our mouths were filled with laughter, our tongues were singing joyful songs. Then they said among the nations, 'The Lord has done great things for them.' Restore our well-being, O Lord, like the streams in the arid south."

In this powerful episode of the Restoration Series, we reflect on the profound statement of awe found in Psalm 126:1-4: “We were like them that dream.” A sudden turnaround is not the result of random occurrences but the culmination of built-up faith and the full course of patience. Our God is a God of process, as seen in the creation of Heaven and Earth in Genesis 1.

The journey of transformation is never linear. Just as Joseph's experience took him through severe trials before he found himself in the palace, so too are we often led through challenging paths before reaching our divine destination. Before God turns you around, it often appears impossible.  He allows us to reach our lowest points to refine us for greater heights.

We explore how God permits our reputations and circumstances to be seemingly ruined, only to elevate us when we've ceased our struggles and let go of alternatives. This episode emphasizes that God orchestrates every twist and turn in our lives to teach us absolute faith and trust in Him, and to build our character.

Understanding that those who have not learned through suffering cannot effectively guide others in similar trials, we highlight the importance of enduring delayed gratification. Such endurance is essential for experiencing sudden turnarounds and restoration. The journey through captivity—be it the pit, the prison, or Potiphar's house—should instill wisdom within us.

In a world where humanism often becomes idolatry, this episode reminds us that God takes us through processes to mold us into who He wants us to be. He prepares us for sudden turnarounds so that we are not overwhelmed by the blessings when they come.

Join us as we delve into these truths, understanding that God's process engrains virtues in us, enabling us to stand strong and continue on the path of success when our turnaround happens.

---

This episode is a beacon of hope and insight, emphasizing that true transformation is a divine process that prepares us for the greatness God has in store.

We invite you to share your reflections and experiences on this journey of restoration. Let's continue to walk this path together, led by faith and the certainty of God's promises.

CHIMDI M. OHAHUNA|COMMANDING THE YEAR 2025| RESTORATION Series - DAY 6: THE DIVINE RETURN - Following God's Lead.

Key Scripture:

**Psalm 126:1-4 - "When the Lord restored the well-being of Zion, we thought we were dreaming. Our mouths were filled with laughter, our tongues were singing joyful songs. Then they said among the nations, 'The Lord has done great things for them.' Restore our well-being, O Lord, like the streams in the arid south."**

In this illuminating episode of the Restoration Series, discover the profound truth that returning from captivity and achieving restoration is solely the work of God. Referencing Jeremiah 29, we recognize that no human effort can initiate this return—it is divinely orchestrated. When God declares that it is time to return, all factors align to favor your comeback. This divine orchestration ensures that every element works together for your good, just as it did for Esther and Nehemiah.

We explore the assurance that when God leads the way, success is certain. It's not about our movement, but God's. He is the one in motion, and we simply follow. Every step we take in alignment with God's leading brings us closer to His intended destination for us. This episode emphasizes that restoration must be a God-initiated journey.

It's crucial to focus on the journey’s details rather than the final destination when God is guiding us. By paying attention to His lead, we ensure that we remain on the path He has laid out for us. This understanding brings us to the heartfelt prayer: "LORD, BRING US BACK & WE WILL FOLLOW YOU."

Join us as we consider these themes, highlighting the importance of trusting God's process and timing. This episode serves as a reminder that when God is in control, every aspect of our return and restoration is meticulously planned and executed for our ultimate well-being.

---

This episode is a beacon of hope and trust, reinforcing that true restoration is found in following God’s lead and relying on His divine guidance.

---

We invite you to share your reflections and experiences on this journey of restoration. Let's continue to walk this path together, led by faith and the certainty of God's promises.

Grace to you!

Jesus is Lord.

CHIMDI M. OHAHUNA|COMMANDING THE YEAR 2025| RESTORATION Series - DAY 5: THE INTERPLAY OF MERCY AND TRUTH.

Key Scriptures:

- Psalm 126:4 - "Restore our well-being, O Lord, like the streams in the arid south."

- 2 Samuel 15:20 - "May the Lord show kindness and faithfulness."

- Psalm 61:7 - "May he be enthroned in God’s presence forever; appoint your love and faithfulness to protect him."

- Psalm 85:10 - "Love and faithfulness meet together; righteousness and peace kiss each other."

In this compelling episode of the Restoration Series, we explore the profound connection between mercy and truth. The message is clear: Mercy without truth is injustice. Until you accept the truth, you cannot fully receive mercy. To maximize the mercy of God, one must embrace the truth wholeheartedly.

Many have not experienced the full transformation of being born again because they have yet to accept the ultimate truth—Jesus Christ. This episode covers the importance of understanding that repeatedly crying out "Mercy, Lord" without obtaining it is a sign that one has not yet embraced the truth. Truth is essential for mercy to prevail and for freedom from captivity.

Also, discover the importance of discernment in destiny. Knowing where you belong and where you don’t is crucial. Aspire to be among those who, even in captivity, do not lose hope and eventually return like Zion. As Jeremiah 29:11 assures us, God has plans for our well-being, not for disaster, to give us a future filled with hope.

This episode also examines the necessity of aligning with truth to fully experience God’s mercy. It's a call to introspection and a deeper relationship with God, rooted in the understanding that truth and mercy must coexist for one to live a life of divine purpose and freedom.

Join us as we explore these essential themes, offering encouragement and insight into navigating life's challenges with a heart attuned to God's mercy and His truth.

---

This episode is a beacon of hope for those seeking restoration, emphasizing that true freedom and well-being come from a balanced embrace of mercy and truth.

---

We invite you to share your thoughts, experiences, and how this message resonates with you. Let’s walk this path of restoration together, strengthened by faith and the transformative power of God’s truth and mercy.

Grace to you!

Jesus is Lord.
