Episodes
You are in His Kingdom, do you believe it?
In Matthew 7, there is a famous passage where Jesus says of certain people: I never knew you.People have infamously used this to say that it refers to backslidden Christians, but it could never mean that; for that would mean that the words of Jesus are not trustworthy.He confidently affirms that He will never lose any of His sheep, that none that comes to Him will perish, that He will keep safely
Our eternity is covered, do you believe it?
The words of Jesus that guarantee the safety of the saved man are loud, bold and authoritative. He emphatically declares, 'they shall never perish, neither shall any pluck them out of my hand.' (John 10: 28).I believe Jesus, do you?
Intermission-Go beyond tongues
This is a disruption in the flow of the episodes, an intermission so to speak.We speak highly of Tongues and we should, but we owe it to ourselves and the world around us to go beyond tongues, to proceed into the very things of God's Spirit that tongues serves as the doorway to.https://soundcloud.com/grace-place/harvesting-boldness-from
Sin's grip is broken, do you believe it?
Jesus died for our sins, do you believe it?Doe his sacrifice settle the sin problem in your heart or you have doubts?Have you forgotten that your sins are washed? Or have you disregarded the fact that your sins are forgiven?
Do you really believe in Jesus?
The words are 'that whosoever believes...'. The question is, what does it mean to believe?It sounds simple, and it really is, but we miss the simplicity many times.Listen in.
Redemption; the forgiveness of sins.
His redemption is the forgiveness of sins, not the pardoning byt the deliverance from sin.
Delivered from our sins
'for you shall call His name Jesus, for He will deliver his people from their sins'. Those words are important, those words need to be understood.Far too often, we stress forgiveness of sins as pardoning of the acts of sin, but Jesus' work was clearly spelt out as a deliverance and not a mere pardon.
His forgiveness is a deliverance.
When we think of forgiveness of sins, we often think of the pardoning of the acts of sin. In some sense, this is true. However, the forgiveness of sins Christ offers is much more than that, it is a deliverance.God sees forgiveness as a cleansing, a sanctification work, a washing, a deliverance. We must see it that way too to better value the work of Christ.
Jesus died for our sins.
As we proceed with the details of the charter of our faith, we explore the words 'Jesus died for our sins.', or at least we begin to do so.If God forgave sins before Jesus died, then what do we mean by 'Jesus died for our sins'? What do we really believe then?
Love them like Jesus.
God has put His Spirit in us, that is true, but we often miss this one thing; that God has put HIS LOVE in us by His Spirit.And it is important that we see this. The work of His Spirit is the work of the men in whom He has put His Spirit.See that man or woman, boy or girl? Love them like Jesus.
For God so loved the world!
We begin a new series on Faith, Hope and Love but we start out with the charter of the Christian faith in John 3:16. God so loved the world.We ought to allow God's valuation of men to become ours, so that we can see the world through his eyes and not ours. We must see the value of every man as God sees them, in the sacrifice of Jesus Christ for all mankind.
Full Hearts, Full Words, Full Lives, Jan 5 2026
Powerful words begin with a full heart, a heart full of God's thoughts from God's Word. Using Scripture, we learn that lasting change comes not from repeating God’s words, but from thinking like God. When our hearts are filled with God’s thoughts through His Word, our words gain weight, and our lives begin to reflect God’s results.
Lessons from Creation! Jan 2, 2026
We begin the new year with a reflective look at Genesis 1, sharing personal insights on how God brings order through division, intention, and follow-through. This episode challenges you to examine your habits, relationships, time, and priorities — to ask what should stay, what should end, and what needs to be improved. It’s an invitation to step out of autopilot living and into a new season with c
The Saint and The Local Church, Part 5 | Nov 7, 2025
In this episode, there is an unplanned emphasis on the fact that the believer is separate from the world, that we belong to a company of people called out of the world, to be separate from the world.This separation is central to our gathering, it is our celebration of our distinctness from the rest of the world
The Saint and the Local Church, Part 4. Nov 5, 2025
The Church is separate from the world, because of this, the saints NEED the community of other saints, a community where we remind ourselves of our common faith.We are even equipped of God to bring in new members into the community, so that we never need to be alone without any community, EVER!
The Saint and the Local Church, Part 3 | Nov 3, 2025
Jesus' resurrection birthed a community, not individuals. This means that we must recognise the very thing that binds us. It is not correctness of doctrine, it is not demonstration of the miraculous, it is THE RESURRECTION OF JESUS. It is His Blood, His Offering, His Life!Whatever our differences, this simple truth is the very basis for the church and in recognition of this Truth, we gather wi
The Saint and the Local Church, Part 2. Oct 31, 2025
The Scriptures (Genesis to Malachi) are the foundational books that the Apostles in their epistles and the writers of the 4 Gospels rely on entirely for validity. this bit is important in our bible study.In the Resurrection of Jesus, He established a COMMUNITY! The church is a community of people, established on ONE TRUTH: Jesus is THE CHRIST, THE SON OF THE LIVING GOD.
The Saint and the Local Church, Part 1. Oct 29, 2025
We begin an investigation into the value of the local church to the saint, but we start out a little off tangent.God's desire for every saint is light, for all of us to be enlightened. The more light we have, the better lives we will live.Also, the church are the people who have believed in Jesus as THE CHRIST, THE SON OF THE LIVING GOD
This Tongues Thing! Part 12, Sept 8, 2025
When you speak to another human being, you cannot and should not stop at tongues for that will bring no benefit to the person.
This Tongues Thing! Part 11, Sept 5, 2025
Paul is keen to emphasise to his audience the need to not be comfortable with being a blessing to just yourself but even more to other people around. Again, It’s not an indictment against tongues, it is to point the saint to what Tongues should be used for when we address ourselves in our gatherings either in prayers that need an amen as response or in songs that people need to sing along
This Tongues Thing! Part 10, Sept 3, 2025
In my pursuit of spiritual things, I must be armed with a stronger desire, a desire to be a blessing to another or the church, a desire to profit another. It is that desire that Paul calls us to when he says 'let him that speaks in a tongue pray (desire) that he may interprete'
This Tongues Thing! Part 9, Sept 1, 2025
There's something just beyond tongues, something every saint should reach out for. It is Prophesying! Taking what was said in other tongues, interpreting it for another human being in a known human language.Prophesy is not anti-tongues, Prophesy exalts tongues from that which edifies just the speaker to that which edifies the speaker's audience.
This Tongues Thing! Part 8, August 8, 2025
Never spoken in tongues before? Want to get someone filled for the first time?Well, a mini-resource for you. All that is left, is the desire to take hold of what is already yours by virtue of family inheritance!
This Tongues Thing! Part 7, August 6, 2025
Tongues is family inheritance. It belongs to EVERYONE who believes, it is part of our proof to the unbelieving world that we do not belong with them.To refuse tongues is to refuse family inheritance
This Tongues Thing! Part 6, August 4, 2025
Every saint is equipped of God with the Spirit and hence the ability to speak in tongues. It becomes HIS RESPONSIBILITY to participate in such Holy things as tongues, it is subject to his will.
This Tongues Thing! Part 5, July 25, 2025
A wrap for the week,Tongues is for the saint, a solid reminder that he has the Spirit of God. To 'forsake' tongues is to disregard that which Jesus considers important
This Tongues Thing! Part 4, July 23, 2025
New Tongues or Human Tongues? Let's really conclude on this.No back and forths.
This Tongues Thing! Part 3. July 21, 2025
New: Greek word is Kainos. It literally means unheard of, unused, unworn, freshly made.If Jesus said we will speak in NEW tongues, it cannot mean other human tongues! It means A FRESH ONE!
This Tongues Thing! Part 2. July 18, 2025
Why is Tongues such a big deal?Should it be a big deal? Is it any special?Let's unravel this together, shall we?
This Tongues Thing! Part 1. July 16, 2025
Why is Tongues such a big deal?Should it be a big deal? Is it any special?Let's unravel this together, shall we?
All the Scriptures or None at all! July 14, 2025
In reaching conclusions, we must consider ALL THE SCRIPTURES put together. We must not reach conclusions with 'opposing' truths in the Scriptures.We must find the right explanation for grey areas and fuzzy portions till it's very clear what we have believed.
Colossians 1:9 Prayer. June 27, 2025
Exploring the Pauline prayer in Colossians 1:9, understanding exactly what Paul's prayer was for this church
Pray for your leaders and pastors. June 25, 2025
Pray for us. Leaders and pastors need our prayers too.The beauty of a local church that protects their pastor with prayers as he feeds them God's Word is often not spoken about, but that is God's ideal.So pray for us.
Strengthened to supply the love of Christ, June 23, 2025
Paul's prayer is this: that God will supply strength by His Spirit in you so that God's love finds expression.
Pauls's Reason for Prayer in Ephesians 3, June 20, 2025
When you pray, do you have a reason for praying? What drives you?As we continue to observe the Pauline prayers, we have to ask ourselves, what was Paul's reason in Ephesians 3:14?
That we may become aware (Cont'd) June 18, 2025
Oh, the glory of the Lord we would see if our minds become flooded with such Light! The awareness of the magnitude of God's Power at work toward us and in us, of the weight of the riches of God in us, of what to expect in this Holy call!
That we become AWARE! June 16, 2025
What does Paul pray for in Ephesians 1:15-19?An Awareness. A dawning in the heart, where what is ours becomes what we know and what we are so aware of.
Prayer makes the Word potent, June 13, 2025
Not enough to have heard God's Word, prayer makes it potent on the lips of the speaker and in the heart of the hearer.
Prayer as a Response (Cont'd), June 11 2025
What to do after a prophecy?PRAY!
Prayer as a Response to God's Word, June 9 2025
When God gives a word or a promise, we often opt to sit still and wait, but many times God needs us to pray.Prayer is not only to ask, prayer also receives of God
Prayer Posture: Heart not body! June 6, 2025
God sees beyond what man sees; God looks into the heart of man. God sees our desires, and that is what He responds to.
God is constant, June 4, 2025
God is constant in prayer, man's conviction is the variable. When we pray, we just pray expecting answers
Why pray at all? June 2, 2025
Prayer is not just to table our desires as petitions before God, prayer is to table those petitions WITH THE FIRM ASSURANCE that God to whom we pray hears and SPEEDILY grants our requests.
More earnest heed, and a charge to PRAY! May 30, 2025
This episode ends with an important call to consecrate June, July and August to Prayers and plenty of prayers
Attention! Pay or lose! May 28, 2025
You either pay attention to God's Word or start losing the value and virtue you have gleaned from God's Word. The system of this world is designed as 'satan' to your walk in God's Word and His will.Recognising this, you need loooooong spans of attention to God's Word. 30 minutes will not do
Hear, Read, Repeat! May 23, 2025
Hear, read, repeat.The Bible is a closed book, but Light comes to our heart in streams. We need more attention to get more virtue out of the books.
God's Word is SEED, not jazz! May 21 2025
God's Word is seed. That means it will need time and patience for it to yield results. It means that your attention to God's Word will determine if the Word produces results in your life.
Built on the Word, May 19, 2025
Heard the Word? Not enough!Jesus says to act on what was taught, to live by it, to allow His Word to change you from the inside out.
Adorned by the Word, May 16, 2025
True beauty and wisdom come from living according to God’s Word. When we treasure His instructions in our hearts and apply them daily, they shape our actions, speech, and decisions.
Instructions in the Grace of God, May 14, 2025
God's Word to us is not just information; we must learn to see the instructions in the revelation of God's Word.It is not enough to shout about what God has done in Christ; I must pay attention to how that information shapes me, the statutes and judgments of God in His Word for me, even in the grace of God.
God's Word and Instructions, May 12, 2025
God's Word not only contains information for us to know, BUT also instructions for us to obey and live by.We will fall short of God's best when we ignore the instructions in God's Word while priding in having so much information.

Unifinished Works of Christ: Understanding the Role of Teaching in Spiritual Growth
We emphasize the importance of spiritual growth as a continuation of Christ's work, addressing misunderstandings of scripture, "need no man teach you," and "call no man your father".
And Oh!
There are miracles for you now!
The Unfinished Works of Christ: Spiritual Development
This episode delves into the unfinished works of Christ, with a focus on spiritual development, emphasizing that receiving the Holy Spirit is not the culmination of God's work in a believer's life, but rather the initiation of a transformative process.
The indwelling Spirit seeks to influence and shape the believer's mind, thoughts, words, and actions, aligning them with God's nat
The Finished Works of Christ: The Believer's Confidence
In this episode, we explore the finished works of Christ—the believer's confidence. We delve into the profound significance of Christ's death, burial, and resurrection, and how these acts initiated a divine transformation within us. Through understanding the finished works, we discover the unwavering foundation for our faith and the empowerment to live a life that reflects God's grace.
The Finished and Unfinished Works of Christ
This episode explains the finished work of Christ, which includes the forgiveness of sins, sanctification, justification, and redemption, and introduces the concept of the unfinished works of Christ, which focuses on the believer's walk and understanding as a result of the finished work.
The Christian Faith - Ep14
God's longsuffering is a display of His Goodness.
God is merciful even when He has to exert judgement on people and nations
The Christian Faith - Ep13
Our God is good!
Our God is good!
Our God is good!
Forever good!
The Christian Faith - Ep12
Continuation of our last discourse, the Christian Faith corrects our notions and ideas about God's person.
He's full of love and compassion
The Christian Faith - Ep11
The Christian Faith corrects our notions and opinions about God; His Person and His Character.
The believer has to take the Gospel and let it become for him a training manual for how he sees God and how he approaches God.
The Christian Faith - Ep10
Jesus did NOT sprinkle blood into our hearts, what He did was to put His Spirit in our hearts.
His High Priesthood is the shedding of His blood (not physical but figurative of His Spirit) in our hearts
The Christian Faith - Ep09
The believer has the forgiveness of sins and in the same breath, the Spirit of God in his heart
The Christian Faith- Ep08
We continue our investigation of the effects of the sacrifice of Jesus on/in the heart of the man that has believed given that we have concluded prior to this that the sacrifice was for our hearts in truth.
The Christian Faith - Ep7
7th Episode of our study on the Christian Faith.
In this Episode, we consider again this 'Forgiveness of sins' thing, how that what Jesus did REALLY isn't a pardon but a WASHING. A purging!
To receive the Forgiveness of Sins Jesus offers is to receive the washing away of our sins in our hearts; and that is a big deal!
The Christian Faith - Ep6
Jesus washed our hearts!
Aaron's tabernacle was a figure of the people hence when he is done making atonement for the tabernacle and everything in it, the PEOPLE are declared clean from their sins.
Our hearts is that holy place where Jesus enters, we are the temple that He washes with His blood.
The Christian Faith - Ep5
We investigate further the words 'Jesus died for our sins' from the writings of Moses.
In this episode, we look closely at the atonement and what it means
The Christian Faith - Ep4
We begin our investigation into the sacrifice of Jesus and how He fulfils the High Priestly duties and sin offering duties in Leviticus 16
The Christian Faith - Ep3 (GW240202)
We begin from where we stopped,
A little detour: God wants all his saints to be TAUGHT; which means to have a teacher who feeds you God's Word. Nobody really (is) should be self-taught when it comes to Bible doctrine.
We then begin this study into John's words "the lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world".
Feast!
The Christian Faith - Ep2 (GW243101)
Jesus died for MY sins.
Pretty simple to say, just five words yet the biggest words any man will ever utter. In this episode, we begin an investigation into the forgiveness of sins.
The Christian Faith - Ep1 (GW242901)
We begin an investigation into the Christian faith, what it entails and what it does not ential.
We start out by seeing that the Scriptures (Genesis to Malachi) are the books that contain the facts and details about the Christian Faith, not just Matthew to Revelation.
The Christian and His Bible - Ep12 (GW242601)
The importance of repetition.
We look at the David's words in the First Psalm where he says "he's like a tree planted by the rivers of water".
That means that the man repetitively feeds on God's Word, constantly, regularly taking in God's Word, that's why he does not become a chaff
The Christian and His Bible - Ep11 (GW242401)
The aim of God's Word is our prosperity! But no, this has no inference to money, wealth, cars et al.
That prosperity is that our lives are transformed by the agency of God's Word. God wants us to have such transformed lives by His Word that the difference between when we were not feeding on His Word and when we give attention to His Word is so clear.
Transformed lives! That's the goal!
The Christian and His Bible - Ep10 (GW242201)
God's Word is vital to the man who has the Spirit, we look through the book of Acts to see their valuation of the Holy Writ and investigate James' "mirror" that Paul also spoke about.
The Christian and His Bible - Ep9 (GW241901)
The Spirit of God will use the information fed to the mind to transform the heart, mind and life of the believer.
An irregular intake of God's Word (from the explanation and teaching of the Scriptures) will mean that the saint will live less than God has designed that he should.
God's Word is "fuel" for the "Spirit's engine" in our hearts.
The Christian and His Bible- Ep8 (GW241701)
This episode is a detour but a necessary one at that, we investigate Luke's writings in his two books (Luke and Acts) about being 'filled' and 'Spirit upon' to clarify that Luke did not write to mean that the Spirit was not in the folks until they were filled.
The Christian and His Bible - Ep7 (GW241501)
A re-emphasis on the Indwelling of the Spirit of God. There is not one person who has believed the Gospel of Jesus (His Death, Burial and Resurrection) who has not received in his heart the Spirit of God.
This re-emphasis is vital to what we want to discuss as we continue the conversation around the Christian and his bible.
The Christian and His Bible - Ep6 (GW241201)
The Scriptures of the Prophets have at their centre the Christ; His person and His work of salvation. This is why the bible is important to us today.
We see clearly in this episode that the Jesus-Moses war is actually a creation of ours because of the limitation we have built in our hearts. We see that Jesus and Moses are not at war, but that Jesus is the focus of the many sayings of the prophets
The Christian and His Bible - Ep5 (GW241001)
As we continue to investigate the Christian and His Bible, the thoughts of God are brought into consideration.
God all-wise preserved these books for us so that His thoughts and His mind can be known to us. His thoughts are only as far away as the heavens from the earth when we refuse to give heed to His word and the teaching of the Holy Writ.
As the earth receives the rain from the heavens, our h
The Christian and His Bible - Ep4 (GW240801)
The Scriptures are written around the person of Christ and His work, this is a vital thing to note in the reading and study of the scriptures.
We have concluded prior that 'Salvation' does not just imply a man believing the Gospel but even more, the man learning of God, this is re-emphasized again using the analogy of Moses and Israel from Egypt enroute Canaan.
The Bible, the Scriptures a
The Christian and His Bible - Ep3 (GW240501)
The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul; The testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple;
My disposition to God's Word is vital as it determines the state of my heart and consequently my walk. God doesn't just want us saved but to know and grow in knowledge.
The Bible is that book where the knowledge that grows and makes wise is found, the saint must make his bible a
