GO FORWARD CONFERENCE '25| EPISODE 3| THE SHIP| CHIMDI OHAHUNA| GRACELIFECOMI PODCAST
"And when they had sent away the multitude, they took him even as he was in the ship. And there were also with him other little ships."Mark 4:36
In this episode, we journey deeper into the mystery of movement—how Jesus transitioned from preaching to crossing, without stepping down from the ship. The ship wasn’t just a vessel—it was a symbol of urgency and divine provision.
Key Themes:
A. Urgency
Jesus preached from the same ship He sailed in. He didn’t step down. He didn’t delay. He moved with purpose.
- Urgency constrains luxury
- Urgency reveals priority
- Urgency redeems time
- Urgency propels transition
"The king’s business required haste." (1 Samuel 21:9b)
"Redeeming the time, because the days are evil." (Ephesians 5:16)
B. Divine Provision
Though Jesus could walk on water, He chose a man-made ship.
- God uses human vehicles—men, money, machines, materials
- Men are the most valuable provision
- God meets needs through relationships, not isolation
- Worship God, value men, build mutual and symbiotic relationships
"Give, and it shall be given unto you… shall men give into your bosom." (Luke 6:38)
"He who loves God must love his brother also." (1 John 4:21)
Action Points:
- Live with urgency—every day counts
- Use what God has provided—don’t wait for the miraculous when the practical is available
- Value people—your harvest may be in someone’s hand
- Build godly, mutual relationships—your ship is made of men
Tune in and receive grace to move with urgency and honor divine provision.
Jesus is Lord.
