ScriptureTalk with Emeka & Toorera

We continue this discussion on spending time in the epistles and what we would benefit as christians wehn we do.

As believers, we have specific books written to us and with us in mind, Our responsibility is to spend time reading and meditating on the things that God has specially said to us in those books. I am talking about the epistles from Romans to Jude. These books are unique to the New Testament Saint and we ought to wear out these parts of our bibles. Listen to this podcast as we discuss more of these...

The scripture is a tool for training. We can train ourselves and other believers with the scriptures and watch as we mature. Spiritual growth cannot be achieved outside the scriptures. God has given us the scriptures so we can be trained in righteousness. Let's dive in.

Many Christians are afraid of being rebuked or corrected. The Bible is the ultimate book; it teaches, rebukes and corrects. So it would not only reveal where you are wrong, it will also reveal how you can make it right.

Why do we have the bible? What can we benefit from the bible? In exploring more about "WHAT you Hear", we take a closer look at the benefit of the scriptures and the purpose for which it was given. Over the next couple of days, we explore four things that the bible says is the purpose of the scriptures.

When the devil tempted Jesus, He replied to Him with the scriptures and showed us that our lives must be centred around EVERY Word of God. In this episode, I try to answer what our relationship with the scriptures should be. Paying attention to WHAT we hear includes paying attention to EVERY Word of God written in the bible. Listen and find out more.

What are you paying attention to? In these days where there are several things trying to get our attention, we ought to develop the habit of focus. Focusing on the right things, especially the Word of God will cause us to make tremendous progress in life.

We take it further today by examining the effects of Adam's sin on humanity. We see that man became subject to sin and all forms of depravity. This did not happen from the beginning until Adam sinned. We also see that man became subject to judgement and the wrath of God. Join us for more discussions on this thought.

Once Adam sinned against God, things were never the same again. Starting from the garden, man's feelings of insecurity and guilt began to show indicating that man was no longer in God's family like they were before. Man was spiritually dead and separate from God. We study this an more in this episode.

In this episode, we discuss the implication of Adam's Treason on every person born into the world. "Why did I have to pay for a sin I did not commit" is an age-long question about the Original sin that many don't yet have answers to. We discuss this and more in this episode.

We go further today in looking at the story of redemption. Adam and Eve bowed their knee to the devil and committed treason against their Father and Creator. We discuss what this means today and how we often open up ourselves to the devil. Doubt makes us susceptible to the devil's deceit and antics like Eve was.

From the beginning, the Father-heart of God has been clearly seen. God's desire for a family made Him create man. He created man for fellowship and intimacy. But He also gave man authority - responsibility. In this new series, we explore what led to man's fall and what Jesus has done for us.

We conclude the work series in this episode and look at the last two elements of a strong work ethic. God expects us to treat one another, our leaders and clients at work with all honour. He also expects us to be well-pleasing (professional) in all things. How we look, say, and go about our work must be done with the utmost professionalism. We discuss these in detail in this episode.

What other things constitute a strong work ethic? Today we look at goodwill (doing work cheerfully and not with negativity), Loyalty (the trust and confidence the organisation or client has in you) and diligence (the grit and consistency you put into your work). These elements shows a strong work ethic.

Submission is a very important work ethic every Christian should display in the corporate world and even in business. The Bible encourages us to submit to one another and even to employers and clients (in today's lingo). We are also encouraged to do the work with sincerity of heart. In this episode, we discuss these ethics and show how it is important for our continued growth.

Love is the foundation upon which we build a strong work ethic. As we study 1 Corinthians 13, we see how integral walking in love is to being successful at work. Love never fails; it might look like it would be a disadvantage to you especially when people try to take advantage of you. However, those who walk in love will always come out on top.

How do you know someone with a strong work ethic? In today's episode, we explore the foundation for work ethic - Love. Love is the fulfilment of the Law. The only debt we owe our neighbours or colleagues or clients perpetually is that of Love. Join me in this week's podcast as we study these together.

Why do we need to work? In this episode, we explore other reasons why we ought to work. One other reason we see in the scriptures for work is to be able to give to the Lord and to people in need.

Being idle makes us vulnerable to being tempted to steal or being dependent on other people. God expects us to work so we can take care of ourselves and our relatives. God takes work seriously and so should we

We dig further into the subject of work. Today we look at the Minister and work. What kind of work do ministers do? Are ministers supposed to work secular jobs or float businesses? We discuss these and more in today's episode.

Jesus lays a strong example for us to follow. He shows us that He and the Father worked together during His earthly ministry. In this episode, we explore Ministry vs secular work

What does the scripture say about work? Why is it important to work? We look at the scriptures and discuss what it says about working.

Christians are light in this dark world. People are looking to us to lead the way in our character, message and output. We shouldn’t hide our identity when we go to work; however, we want to be active ambassadors for Christ and His kingdom.

Praying in Tongues consistently helps us to walk in the Supernatural. The more we pray in other tongues, the more conscious of spiritual things we are; and the more we can access God’s Wisdom to excel in life.

Our priority at work and in business is to be representatives of God. Our primary assignment is our representation of Jesus Christ.
