Leviticus Series: More Laws - Part 8

Leviticus Series: More Laws - Part 8

Episodes with music are only available on Spotify.

In chapters 22 and 23, we read about rules for Priests, ceremonial purity, priests abstaining from defilement, the Sabbath, Passover, and Feast of the unleavened bread.

A deep dive into these two chapters allows us to reflect on our Christian walk today. Are we constantly presenting ourselves a living sacrifice to God or are we just living and hoping He will give us grace?

Thank you for listening!

Leviticus Series: The Sacrificial Offerings Part 1

Greetings children of God! Welcome to my podcast in the name of The Father, The Son & The Holy Spirit! Happy New Year and thank you for listening. This season we are going to embark on the 3rd book of Moses called Leviticus. The first three chapters of this episode talks about the various offerings made by the Israelites in atonement of their sins. The Lord helped me to understand the deeper meaning of these sacrifices and how it helped the people in those days to break free from their daily sinful lives.

I pray as you listen, your heart, mind and spirit man are convicted by the Holy Spirit in Jesus name! Please share this podcast with family, friends and loved ones! God bless you!

Exodus Series: "The Exit" - Chapter 36 - 38

Exodus Series: "The Exit" - Chapter 36 - 38

The intricate detailing of the building of the tabernacle and the Ark of Covenant makes me think of the human design and how we are fearfully and wonderfully made by God. A human phenomenon we are, to behold the presence of God in all His glory right within us. But there are levels to understanding this glory and it starts with the spirit. 

Thank you for tuning in and for your continued support! I pray that this episode speaks to your soul and awakens your spirit in Jesus name!! Amen!

Exodus Series: "The Exit" - Chapter 34 & 35

Exodus Series: "The Exit" - Chapter 34 & 35

"Behold, I make a covenant. Before all your people I will do marvels such as have not been done in all the earth, nor in any nation; and all the people among whom you are shall see the work of the Lord. For it is an awesome thing that I will do with you (Exodus 34:10 NKJV)."

To be like Christ is to embody the characteristics of Christ! We must be obedient, faithful, steadfast, spirit-filled, prayerful and filled with LOVE. What kind of life are we living as believers of Christ? What do we idolize? What is our identity in Christ?

I hope this week's episode touches your spirit and causes you to seek God's face concerning His purpose for your life! Amen!

Thank you for your continued support!

Exodus Series: "The Exit" - Chapter 32 & 33

Exodus Series: "The Exit" - Chapter 32 & 33

For the Lord said to Moses, "Say to the children of Israel, 'You are a stiff-necked people. I could come up into your midst in one moment and consume you. Now therefore, take off your ornaments, that I may know what to do to you." Exodus 33:5 NKJV.

Like our ancestors the Israelites, to whom by spiritual grafting we are related, we tend to be stubborn in our ways. We only want we want instead of what God wants for us. Even when we want God's will for us, we are too impatient to experience the reality of it. At what point in our Christian walk, do we come to the realization that our way is the wrong way? When do we begin to understand that unless God's name is on it, it didn't come from Him?

This week's episode is definitely an eye-opener! We hope it convicts your heart as it did ours! Thank you for your continued support always! Don't forget to share this podcast with others; follow us on Instagram/Facebook at www.instagram.com/knowinggodpodcast. God bless you all!

Exodus Series: "The Exit" - Chapter 30 & 31

Exodus Series: "The Exit" - Chapter 30 & 31

Most people skim through the readings of the books of the Old Testament for lack of understanding the message being delivered by God. This week's reading highlighted the Altar of Incense and its significance as it relates to the Israelites and God. In this episode, my special guest, Tahj Spencer, a 16-year-old high school student and vessel of God, joined me in the discussion. What did the incense represent? Why a Census? Why a ransom? 

We hope this episode fills you up with the desire to want to study the word as opposed to reading the word while seeking God's revelations! 

Thank you for your support! Happy listening!

Exodus Series: "The Exit" - Chapter 28 & 29

Exodus Series: "The Exit" - Chapter 28 & 29

The Priesthood. In these two chapters, God appoints Aaron and his sons as priests over Israel giving Moses detailed instructions on how to make them fit for the position God has called them to. God has called you for a specific purpose; are you ready to fulfill your calling? Are you prepared to go through the proper channels to become fit for the spiritual warfare that lies ahead? 

Take a moment to reflect on your Christian life and whether you are in alignment with God's purpose! I pray this week's episode transforms your mind and empowers you to seek God more!

God bless you and thank you for your support!

Exodus Series: "The Exit" - Chapter 26 & 27

Exodus Series: "The Exit" - Chapter 26 & 27

"The Altar" - This week, we continue reading about the laws God set forth before the Israelites through Moses. God is so detailed about the building of the Tabernacle and The Altar where the Ark of Covenant is kept. These details can be likened to us, the believers, true followers of Christ! We are members that make up the body of Christ who is the Head. Each member is designed with intricate detail from God who formed us and the light upon us must continually shine.

I pray this episode awakens the Holy Spirit in you and causes you to go into a secret place with the Lord as you seek His face for clarity and wisdom! Thank you for listening and God bless you in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

Exodus Series: "The Exit" - Chapter 22 & 23

In this episode, God continues to lay down laws to the Israelites through Moses. The Lord gives laws concerning responsibility of property, moral and ceremonial principles and equal justice. 

Reading the Bible is more than just hearing about the stories, it is meditating on what God is saying and applying it to our lives as true followers of Christ. I pray as you listen to this podcast, the Holy Spirit visits you and ignites a passion for Christ. Amen.

Thank you for your support and God bless you!

Exodus Series: "The Exit" - Chapter 20 & 21

The Ten Commandments! Almighty God knows what will happen before it happens, hence, the need for law and order. In the next few episodes, we will look at the laws set before the Israelites and the judges. We will see how today's society was shaped from the laws of those days. In fact, some laws are still being practiced today but God sent His only begotten Son to save us from the law! Hallelujah!
Thank you for choosing this podcast as part of your listening pleasure! I pray the Lord enlightens you with spiritual wisdom, knowledge and understanding as you journey through His living Word. God bless you!

Exodus Series: "The Exit" - Chapter 14 & 15

Exodus Series: "The Exit" - Chapter 14 & 15

"And Moses said to the people, "Do not be afraid. Stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord, which He will accomplish for you today. For the Egyptians whom you see today, you shall see again no more forever." - Exodus 14:13 -
We all encounter Egypt in our lives even as believers, but God gives us the assurance that He will take us out of Egypt! In these two chapters, God continues to show His power and mighty hand as He delivers the Israelites from the hands of the Egyptians. There are times we go back to Egypt or consider going back when we are impatient with God's process; the Israelites complained when there was no water to drink on their 3 days journey in the wilderness (God was testing them). They cried that it would have been better for them to be enslaved than to suffer in the wilderness. But once again, in His grace, God heard their cries and supplied them with water. It is better to suffer for the things of God (long-suffering) than for the things of this world.
We are made to understand that God will never leave us nor forsake us once we put our trust in Him! I hope you enjoy today's episode! Remember to subscribe to the podcast and share with your family and friends! God bless you!

Exodus Series: "The Exit" - Chapter 12 & 13

Today's episode features a very special guest, Mrs. Lilias (Lily) John, Financial Stylist and Entrepreneur who is a lover of God and follower of Christ. Mrs. John enlightened us with her spiritual understanding of the readings, leaving us with much to think about in our walk with God as well as those considering a relationship with God.
Whew! In these two chapters we see the grace and wrath of God unfold over two nations! We liken the activities that took place in these chapters to our lives today as we reason with the afflictions many Christians face. Our reality of life differs from the life God intends for us and this can only be recognized when we have come to a place of reconciliation with ourselves and with God. How does this story relate to your life thus far?

Thank you for tuning in and don't forget to subscribe to this podcast! God bless you!

Exodus Series: "The Exit" - Chapter 7 & 8

Pharoah was warned by Moses and Aaron to let God's people go but he refused! God unleashed plagues on the land of Egypt and on the people of Egypt without it affecting the Israelites. Will these plagues soften Pharoah's heart? How many of us are facing situations today that overwhelms us and causes us to be blind to what God promised to do in our lives? 

Join us on this journey as we witness the journey of the Israelites and their escape from Egypt. Don't forget to subscribe! God bless you!

May you have an encounter with the Holy Spirit in your secret place with Him in Jesus name. Amen.

Conclusion of the Genesis Series

Conclusion of the Genesis Series

Blessings to you! I am so excited to present the conclusion of the Genesis series! What a great way to end this season, with the story of Joseph. In this series, we learn about the first sin, the first murder, the first deception, the first rape and many more evil things that continue today. However, we also learned the importance of Faith, Obedience, Perseverance, Long-suffering, Patience, Love and Forgiveness and other great attributes of mankind.

There was so much to unpack but well worth it! I am not a Bible scholar nor am I a prophet or teacher. I am simply a repentant sinner seeking salvation through the daily meditation of the Word and my works as a disciple on earth. I love reading the Bible and I love reading about the people and their journey. The Holy Spirit helps me to understand things I never understood on my own every time I read His Word. 

I pray that as you have listened, the Holy Spirit will fill your minds and soul with His presence and the eagerness to seek Him!

Next up, the book EXODUS (The Exit)!


Thank you for listening...

S2:EP4 - “The Word” hosted by Anike Akins

Reading the Bible is an essential part of our daily lives. John 1:1 says, in the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. It means the Word became Human, and that Human was Jesus who saved us! I hope as you listen you will be inspired to make the Bible your daily habit! May your spiritual connection with God be filed with wisdom, knowledge and understanding and a spirit of discernment. God bless you and thank you for listening!

S2:EP3 - "VESSEL"

S2:EP3 - "VESSEL"

A vessel is described as a container used for holding something; a person into whom some quality such as grace is infused as a child of light, a true vessel of the Lord. Do we consider ourselves vessels of honor? One that holds steadfast, slow to anger, slow to speak, meek, humble, patient, faithful, holy and righteous? This month's episode aims to encourage listeners to read the word more, seek understanding and wisdom, let go of lustful desires and focus their attention on God while spreading the gospel and winning souls for the kingdom. The following scriptures inspired this month's episode: Jeremiah 5:20-31 & 2nd Timothy 2:14-26. 

God bless you as you listen!
