A pickpocket lost one hand for his first offence, the other for his second — and continued his trade with his teeth. Surgery doesn't change the heart. In this message from Colossians 3:5–9, we take up Paul's second instruction to the believer: put to death whatever belongs to the earthly nature — because the old self can't be renewed or reformed, only killed. Learn how to answer tempta...

Two new believers once declined a wild party with a remarkable RSVP: "We regret that we cannot attend, because we recently died." In this study of Colossians 3:1–4, we discover what that death means — and the life that follows it. You died with Christ, you live in Christ, your life is hidden with Christ in God, and you're already seated with Him — so why sleep in the gatehouse when y...

A father once boiled a kettle of water and poured it into the ocean's edge so his daughter would believe the cold sea was warm. That's how deception works — a flag of truth surrounded by lies. In this message from Colossians 2:4–7, we learn that the best safeguard against drifting is steady spiritual progress, painted in six pictures: the soldier's discipline, the pilgrim's walk of...

In this candid panel discussion wrapping up the month of June in Colossians, two believers — one saved in 1997, one in 2021 — share the false teachings that once held them captive and how the truth of "complete in Christ" set them free.

When someone calls you "papa," you're a papa — whether you planned it or not. In this Father's Day message from 1 Thessalonians 2:10–12, a veteran mentor to over fifty adopted sons and daughters unpacks what makes a father faithful: loyal, dependable, intentional. Discover the three inheritances every father carries, why casting vision for your children matters more than putting...

A butterfly never crawls back into its cocoon — yet many believers keep reaching for the old life Christ already buried. In this study of Colossians 3:1–11, we learn what it means to live out our new identity: set your mind on things above, put your old nature to death — completely, not temporarily — and strip off anger, vengeance, malice, slander and lies like grave clothes left behind. What must...

Bank tellers aren't trained on counterfeits — they're trained on genuine currency so well that every fake exposes itself. That's how believers defeat false teaching: know Christ deeply and continue in Him. In this study of Colossians 2:6–23, we unpack Paul's three warnings — don't let anyone take you captive through hollow philosophy, judge you over food, drink or sacred days,...

Imagine clearing immigration with a valid visa, while someone insists you need certificates the country never asked for. That's what false teaching does to believers — adding fear-driven requirements to a salvation that's already complete. In this message from Colossians 2, we expose the enemy's oldest trick of deception through persuasive words, philosophy, tradition and man-made rules, and redis...

You were once far from God — His enemy, even — but He made the first move. In this message from Colossians 1:21–28, we unpack three life-anchoring truths: the reconciliation that presents you holy, without blemish and free from accusation; the drift that threatens believers through false teaching, fear-peddling and "Christ-plus" gospels; and the secret hidden for ages, now revealed — Christ in you...

Compassion that never moves is vision without action. In this message from Matthew 9:35–38 and the book of Haggai, we're challenged to "consider our ways" — to stop building only our own houses while God's harvest field waits. Discover why loving God means obeying Him, how to overcome fear and discouragement in evangelism, what sacrificial giving really looks like, and the power...

In this message, we journey through the Book of Esther to uncover purpose, courage, and generational impact.

This teaching highlights the power of divine positioning (“for such a time as this”), the call to...

God is moving, and this is not the season to stand still. In this message, the listener is invited into a powerful moment of spiritual awareness: a reminder that God’s work often moves like a train, unstoppable, advancing, and purposeful. You don’t need to understand everything to join it… but you do need to step on. “Don’t Be Left Behind: Envisioning for Greater Heights” is a call to lift your ey...

In this episode, we take a deep, eye-opening look at Divine Honour and Dignity—not as the world defines honour, but as God defines it.

As this teaching series comes to a close, Dr. Okono answers a crucial question: Why are we being conformed to become partakers of the divine nature? The answer is purpose—God is raising men and women of power, not religious spectators. Using Daniel’s prophecy (Daniel 2:44–45), this episode reveals the Kingdom of God as a mission of power, a kingdom destined to outlast and ultimately overpower the...

You’ll discover how God’s divine power equips us to live a Christlike life, escape the corruption of the world, and walk in spiritual authority that heaven endorses. With practical teaching from Scripture, the episode explores:...

In this episode, we examine what it means to be partakers of the divine nature. Christianity is not meant to be passive or ordinary. Through Christ, believers are empowered by grace to grow, to be transformed, and to live under heaven’s authority. This teaching explores the relationship between holiness and spiritual power, the role of knowledge in spiritual maturity, and the believer’s responsibi...

What gives real confidence when the future feels unclear? Not predictions, not resources, but the presence of God. In this episode, we reflect on God’s reassuring words to Moses in Exodus 33:14 and the joy found in His presence from Psalm 16:11.
