THE FAMILY THE HOME| 2024 SERIES|DAY 5|SERVICE ENGENDERED BY LOVE| FUNKE OHAHUNA

In this episode of "The Family The Home Summit," We discussed service in the home, emphasizing the importance of mutual love and support within family dynamics. Drawing on biblical teachings from Galatians 5 and the story of Joseph, you will discover what hierarchical family structures entail and highlight the dangers of envy and jealousy. As we reflect on God's design for family relationships, you will also understand how true service should be motivated by love.

Here are the key takeaways:

1. Mutual Service Rooted in Love: Service in the home should be a mutual act of love, not a hierarchical duty. Galatians 5:13 reminds us to "serve one another in love," breaking away from the senior-junior mentality.

2. Defining True Service: Service is about helpful acts and contributions to others' welfare, driven by love. When love is the foundation, service becomes a joyful and fulfilling part of family life.

3. The Role of Love: Love should be an inherent quality in family interactions, not just a preached topic. True liberty in Christ empowers us to serve others selflessly, avoiding self-centered behavior.

4. Mutual Support & Encouragement: Service involves lifting each other up, celebrating successes, and supporting during tough times. The story of Joseph and his brothers highlights the dangers of envy and the importance of love.

5. Training in Love: Teaching children to love one another fosters a healthier family dynamic. A love-centered approach to parenting leads to a more harmonious family environment.

6. The Command to Love: Galatians 5:14 calls us to "love thy neighbor as thyself," extending this love to our family members. Love is a command from God, not just a suggestion, and should guide all family interactions.

BIBLE STUDY MIRACLES OF JESUS SERIES| THE FOURTH MIRACLE OF JESUS Pt. 35| THE FEEDING OF 5,000 MEN WITH 5 LOAVES OF BARLEY BREAD AND 2 FISHES| CHIMDI OHAHUNA

Welcome back to another enlightening episode of "There is Much Grass." This study session uncovers yet another profound significance of the "much grass" mentioned in John 6:10, exploring themes of growth, flourishing, and spiritual abundance.

Grass symbolizes peace and prosperity—something that occurs naturally, without man-made interventions. Just as grass thrives on the nutrients found in its environment, our faith and spiritual lives flourish in Christ Jesus, who is our Land and the ultimate source of growth (John 1:1-14; Romans 10:17; Mark 11:23).

In this episode discover:

The Symbolism of Grass: Understand how grass represents our spiritual journey—how it grows unassisted, reminding us that we too can flourish in Christ without artificial enhancements. Our spiritual nourishment comes solely from the Word of God, allowing us to cultivate a deep and abiding faith.

Being Resources to Mankind: When we recognize Christ as our source, we become sources of inspiration and support to others. Within our relationship with Christ lies the potential for creativity and innovation. We encourage listeners to seek a deeper knowledge of Him, as it empowers us to serve others more effectively.

The Power of Thinking: A thought-provoking exploration of how thinking engenders emancipation from bondage. It’s a reminder that our service to Christ is an intentional act that requires active engagement with our minds.

Sitting on the Grass: What does it mean to "sit on the grass"? We considered this metaphor, illustrating the idea of placing our faith fully in Christ as our sole source and supply. It’s about embracing the risk of trusting Jesus completely, knowing that such faith comes with eternal rewards.

The Assurance of Christ: Jesus is more than enough. We’re reminded that sitting in Him will not lead to failure in life. As we anchor our every hope in Christ alone, we will find the strength and support we need to thrive.

Join us for a journey through these powerful themes, as we reaffirm our faith in Christ and recognize that everything we need to blossom as children of God is found in Him. Tune in to explore how we can navigate our spiritual journeys with purpose and assurance, leaning on the One who sustains us all.

THE FAMILY THE HOME| 2024 SERIES|DAY 4| FAITH, AUTHORITY, AND FAMILY| FUNKE OHAHUNA

This is Day 3 of the Family The Home Summit Series, a transformative podcast dedicated to exploring the intricate dynamics of authority within the Christian family unit. In this thought-provoking series, we consider the biblical and spiritual aspects of family leadership, focusing on the unique role of the father as the head of the nuclear family. Our discussions center around the foundational structure of family, father, mother, and children. And, how authority is not simply a hierarchical concept but a vital spiritual principle that can be exercised by every family member.

This episode will illuminate the concept of authority, defined not just as a position of power, but as the ability to influence thoughts, command opinions, and encourage positive behavior within the family. Discover how this authority can be assigned, shared, and even temporarily conferred to others in the family, depending on circumstances, so everyone is empowered to take an active role in spiritual leadership.

Our mission isn't just to delineate roles and responsibilities, we aim to awaken a deeper spiritual consciousness among Christian families. We believe that as heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, every family should acknowledge and exercise the redemptive work of Jesus within their household. Also, discover how to cultivate a family environment where each member is equipped to exercise their God-given authority, helping them learn how to stand firm against spiritual opposition—symbolized by the serpent, lion, and scorpion.

Throughout this session, we discussed the common tendency to rely excessively on a singular spiritual leader within the home. And, we encourage shared responsibility, nurtured fellowship, and abundant resource-sharing among family members, regardless of their individual spiritual maturity. By doing so, we believe families can uplift one another in faith, fostering a community where everyone feels empowered to declare the Word of God and manifest His promises through signs and wonders.

Join us as we dig into vital conversations about how to actively engage in the Kingdom of God right from your living room—reminding you that you don’t have to fear exercising your authority in Christ. When you proclaim the Word of God, you unleash His power, and together as a family, we can overcome the challenges posed by the enemy.

If you're ready to reclaim your family’s spiritual authority and nurture a powerful legacy of faith, listen now for inspiration, practical insights, and empowering teaching to transform your home into a haven of divine authority and grace.
