This episode focuses on the nature of the new life, relative to the old nature of man. These are reflective of our thought patterns and actions which in turn have direct effect on our minds. It recommends the renewal of the Holy Spirit as a means of transformation, to refocus our thought pattern to enable us think in accordance with the new nature and our expected heavenly inhereitance. So that we no longer live our lives and set our priorities based on natural things but on things from above because where a man's treasure is, there his heart will be also.

This episode seeks to inform listeners that Christ died to take away our burdens. Carrying them ourselves is detrimental to health and keeps us away from reach of God's intervention. We are therefore encouraged to cast our anxieties on Christ who has been anointed to bear our burdens.

CAST YOUR ANXIETIES ON HIM ( 1Peter 5:6,7)

CLING TO YOUR SPIRIT LIFE is an episode that describes life as that which needs sustenance from the source of living itself. It emphasises that without the source of refreshing life could be frustrating and hopeless and those living in that situation are said to be in utter darkness or a sate of spiritual gloom. The episode suggests returning to God who is the author of life and the fountain of living water as a solution particularly as all Biblical characters who did so, found solace and victory.

CLING TO YOUR SPIRIT LIFE (PSALM 36:9)

EXCEEDING GRACE, describes Christ as the incarnate WORD and author of the NEW COVENANT. It draws a line between the old covenant which was championed by Moses through sacrifice and code of conduct and the NEW COVENANT which is through Jesus Christ conveyed by GRACE through the HOLY SPIRIT. The message promises sufficiency of GRACE to get through life endeavours and benefit from the totality of the covenant provisions through the abundance of the GRACE of God (Ephesians 3:20,21).

EXCEEDING GRACE (JOHN 1:16,17)

LONGER AND SAFER is an encouraging episode which describes God as the Architect and pathfinder of Destiny. He designs and also chats the course. The story of Israel travelling through the alternative southern route for 40 years as against the direct northern route which would have taken 40 days is under reference. It teaches that what seems like delay in God's program is His design to achieve the desired personality in His people to enable them become what He purposed for them to His glory. So when God is involved it is never late though it may delay from man's point of view.

LONGER AND SAFER (EXODUS 13;17,18)

This episode gives a segmented description of the voyage of the disciples of Christ across the sea of Galilee and the implications of each stage and event on the course of the journey. The fact that the Lord initiated the journey and knew ahead of time what was going to happen and also prayed to avert it, should encourage the faithful to be strong in their faith. Knowing that there are necessary storms we must pass through to become whom God wants us to be. His presence with a man on the journey though may not guarantee a stress free voyage, it guarantees a safe landing.
