ScriptureTalk with Emeka & Toorera

The foundation for excelling in the marketplace is understanding your Identity and being grounded in that understanding. Jesus is the Lord of our lives and He leads and directs us even at work and in business.

What is the secret to having an excellent spirit? Well, we can learn from Daniel and his friends that consecration to God, His Word and His Will. Daniel purposed in his heart to obey God regardless of what was going on around him.

We must exercise our faith at work too. Faith is required in every area of our life as Believers. We need faith to get a new job, faith to get promoted, faith to get new pay etc. Remember, Faith is the victory that overcomes the world.

Christians must learn how to be led by the Spirit of God even in the workplace if they must excel in what they do. From the choice of a career to the specific workplace, we can lean on the leading of God's Spirit to help us make the right choices. The Holy Spirit can help us excel in the workplace by leading us in the right direction. 

In James 1, we see that God is willing to give wisdom to all those who ask HIm. Wisdom here is both spiritual and physical. God intends for us to have natural wisdom - wisdom to excel in the affairs of this life - just the same way He wants us to have spiritual wisdom. We discuss how we can access God's wisdom to excel in the marketplace.

We have the mind of Christ. We have access to the plans and purposes of God for our lives. Because of this, we have what it takes to excel in everything that we do. Our conversation continues on the subject of faith and the marketplace.

Every Christian has what it takes to excel in their jobs and businesses. My Friend Laolu and I discuss what the Word of God says about Christians in the MarketPlace. When believers engage the Word and exercise their faith, they excel beyond expectations in the marketplace. 

We should continually speak words that are in line with who the bible says we are, what Jesus is doing for us today in heaven and what God can do through us.

Speaking is the most important action we must take when it comes to faith. However, our speaking must be in line with the truths of the Word of God for it to work. We examine these bible truths concerning our redemption in this episode.

Confession is simply saying what you believe to be true. It is speaking words that are in line with your convictions. Believing and speaking, according to the scriptures go hand in hand. Confession is not a set of creeds, nor is it merely positive speaking or a legalistic formula to get things from God. It is speaking what God has said about a particular thing consistently.  Let's delve in an...

Faith is both believing and speaking. Your words are a reflection of the conviction in your heart. If you believe God's Word, it will show up in your Words. In this episode, we examine the subject of faith confessions. What does the bible say about confessions? Listen as we explore together.

Now you know what faith is and how faith comes. You also need to know how to get your faith to work for you. In today's episode, we examine how to turn your faith loose. We see clearly from the scriptures that the primary corresponding action to our faith is speaking. Our words must line up with our hearts for our faith to work. 

How do we hear the Word? Jesus tells us to be careful how and what we hear. We see in Proverbs 4: 20-22 God's prescription of hearing the Word of God. We must give attention to it, incline our ears to it, refuse to let it depart from our eyes and put them in the midst of our hearts. For faith to produce in your life, you deliberately feed it on the Word of God.

We continue today to talk about how faith comes. We look at the scriptures to examine what it says about how faith comes for salvation.

Where does faith come from? Is it right to pray for faith? Well, the scriptures tell us that faith comes by hearing and hearing the Word of God (Rom. 10: 17). A continuous listening to God’s Word will produce faith in your heart. The more word you have, the more your faith. In this episode, we discuss the source of faith

Understanding "what faith is" is an important step in receiving the blessings of God on earth. Faith is a firm persuasion based on the Word of God. It is acting on the Word of God. Join us as we discuss further on what faith is.

Faith doesn't deny the existence of the problem, rather faith believes in what God has done to take care of the problem. Faith doesn't call those things that are as though they are not; faith calls those things that be not as though the are. Instead of denying the problem, faith speaks the solution into existence. We discuss faith and denial in this episode.

Many Christians can't tell the difference between general faith and the gift of faith. We often confuse the manifestation of the Holy Spirit through the lives of ministers of the Gospel for general faith. Every believer - minister or laity - ought to develop their own faith for their personal lives or risk being defeated by the enemy. We discuss the difference between faith and the Gift of faith i...

Your good works did not save you and neither does it guarantee your possession of God's promises. On the other hand, your faith in the Word of God gives you access to the promises of God. We do not receive the promises of God by good works but by faith. Listen as we discuss this further in this episode. 

Faith is acting based on the convictions in our hearts and not based on the other person's actions of faith or words. Many Christians fall flat on their faces because they followed other people's actions without conviction. Presumption and foolishness will not produce the right result. We must learn to put the word of God in our hearts and then faith will come.  We discuss more in this episod...

There is a difference between believing with the heart and merely agreeing with it in your head. The difference is your actions. Faith is acting on the Word of God. One main reason why many Christians don't see results promised in the Word is that they are just mentally agreeing with the Word and not acting on it. We discuss this in detail in this episode.

We believe God with our hearts and that's the reason we must guard our hearts with all diligence. We must never try to believe with our heads or wait until our head agrees with the Word of God for us to think we are in faith. 

What does it mean to believe with the heart? Am I still in faith if I have thoughts of doubt? We answer these questions and more in this episode. We explore believing with the heart and how to ensure you don't take the devil's don't into your heart. 

What kind of faith do you have? Abraham's faith or Thomas' faith? Thomas wanted to see first before he believed. On the other hand, Abraham believed God's Word and received the promise. Listen to this episode as Toorera and I discuss more about faith.

People often say "seeing is believing" but the Bible meaning of faith is quite the opposite. Bible faith believes before it sees. Today, we examine the example of Thomas and see how Jesus did not commend his kind of faith. We walk by faith and not by sight. Natural human faith is sense knowledge faith; a kind of faith that is based on what information you get from the senses. Real bible faith is b...
