Welcome to 2024. In this episode, we reviewed 2023 topics around leadership of the spirit and stewardship and how they relate to our call as those chasing our call.

The episode concluded by introducing the theme of the first half of 2024 episodes, which is around spiritual welfare.

We conclude the stewardship series with a conversation on our relationship with material things. It is the last episode of our call mandate. The central issue the episode covered is for believers to remember it is God's mind that we walk in abundance and yet live in the focus of heaven, not merriment alone.

In the third part of the stewardship series, we discussed how to steward oneself to meet the call mandate.

In this series on stewardship, we focus on how to steward our relationship with people. The central point was for us as call chasers to remember that people are the crown of God's creation and He is interested in how we relate with one another.

The discussion of stewardship is becoming paramount in our generation that has arrogated everything to herself. A generation that claims to be self-made. However, in God's design, call chasers must continually remember we are all stewards of God's resources (life, resources, and relationships). In today's episode, we begin the series by exploring how we steward our relationship with God, which is the foundation for managing resources and connections with others.

As we conclude the series of the spirit leadership. We discussed the place of waiting and listening. One critical submission from this episode is knowing that it is possible to wait on God and not be a good listener. We must not just be listening to messages, storing pads loaded with notes from sermons, and yet not revisiting them or meditating on what the Lord might have given us. The series concluded with tips for us as call chasers on how to wait and listen.

Continuing the conversation on help, we focus today on how to receive help. The discussion explored some of the reasons why people might not receive help, some of which include pride, fear of shame, and disappointment, amongst others. It concluded with what should be the disposition of those on the call journey to receiving help. Joy, Hope, Faith, a heart of gratitude, and accepting the love of God tops the list.

In this episode, we discuss the role of the Holy Spirit in teaching believers how to give help, supporting us also to imbibe God's nature of provision of help. Even Christ said it is in the best interest of Christians that Him `Christ goes home so that the Holy Spirit comes. He helps our weaknesses, helps us to pray and overcome temptations. He reveals the heart of the Father and helps us understand all that Christ taught while on earth. 

Continuing the conversation on spiritual leadership a fortnight ago, we explored the place of trust. And like the famous Christian song words, trust and obey, for there is no other way to be happy in Jesus than to trust and obey. Gbenga shares the place of obedience, God's invitation for us to be doers of the word, or whatever revelation is gotten from the place of zero resistance.

In a generation where the world struggles with trust. The Lord is inviting us back to the place of trust and total dependence on the holy spirit. It is an invitation to a place of ZERO resistance. So in today's episode, still on the series of the call mandate and exposition of spiritual leadership, Busola shares on trust and how we, as call chasers, can work/walk in trust.
