WORD EXPLOSION 2024| DAY 5|SPEAK DIRECT THROUGH CHRIST| with CHIMDI & FUNKE OHAHUNA.
John 1: 8 (Phi)
In this podcast, we will be exploring the concept of direct communication with God and how it is essential for our spiritual growth and relationship with Him. The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines the word 'personal' as something that is carried out between individuals directly, without any intermediaries. This phrase perfectly encapsulates the importance of direct communication with God.
We often find ourselves seeking confirmation and signs from God indirectly, hoping to receive a message from Him. However, this approach can hinder our spiritual growth and distance us from God. As Christians, we should strive to reach a level where we can hear God directly, without the need for confirmations or signs.
The ultimate example of direct communication between God and man is the revelation of Jesus, the Light, to John the Baptist. This communication did not require any intermediaries; it was a direct and personal encounter between God the Father and His messenger. This highlights the importance of having a close and direct relationship with God.
As we grow in our faith, we should outgrow the need for confirmations and signs and instead rely on the voice of the Holy Spirit and the inner witness to confirm what the scriptures are telling us. This direct communication with God is a sign of spiritual maturity and strengthens our relationship with Him.
Unfortunately, in today's world, we often find ourselves getting farther from God while seeking indirect means of hearing from Him. We are constantly looking for confirmations and signs when all God wants is for us to be close to Him. He desires a direct relationship with us, where He can be our source, sustainer, and everything else.
Just like a good marriage thrives on direct communication, our relationship with God also thrives on direct communication. Jesus, the final sacrifice for our sins, has bridged the gap between us and God. We no longer need offerings and sacrifices to get God's attention because Jesus' sacrifice has already gotten His attention. This act of love and sacrifice has opened the door for us to have direct access to God anytime, any day.
The objective of this session is to let every listener know God desires a direct relationship with us. He wants us to come to Him directly, without any intermediaries, and have a personal and intimate conversation with Him. Let us strive to outgrow the need for confirmations and signs, and instead, rely on direct communication with God through the Holy Spirit. Jesus has paid the ultimate sacrifice for us to have this direct relationship with God, let us embrace it and praise Him forever.
