Welcome to today’s episode, Father's Day — where we celebrate the gift and calling of responsible fatherhood.
Today, we honor the men who do more than provide—they pray, protect, lead with vision, and shape generations with wisdom, faith, and love. From being spiritual coverings to emotional anchors, these fathers are true ambassadors of Christ in the family, church, and community.
Get ready to be encouraged, inspired, and challenged as we shine a light on the quiet strength and lasting impact of responsible fathers.
“Be Amazed by God – Lessons from Habakkuk”
In this powerful and heartfelt episode, we explore the timeless message of the Book of Habakkuk, centered around the theme: Be Amazed by God. Through scripture, honest reflection, and personal stories, Pastor Okien Peters unpacks how God amazes us both through His severity and goodness — His justice and His mercy.
Using Habakkuk 1 and Romans 11 as anchors, we journey through the prophet’s raw, emotional dialogue with God. Why does God sometimes seem silent? Why does He allow injustice? These are honest questions that reflect a real relationship — not a religious performance. We’re reminded that God welcomes our transparency and desires intimacy with us, even in seasons of waiting and confusion.
Key themes include:
• God's dual nature: kindness and sternness.
• Learning to ask God honest, faith-filled questions.
• The danger of going through spiritual motions without heart.
• Expecting God to speak — and being ready to listen.
• How God amazes us — sometimes with judgment, but more beautifully with His undeniable, transformative goodness.
• Understanding that God's ways may seem contradictory but are always purposeful.
You’ll hear stories of real-life miracles, warnings about spiritual complacency, and an urgent call to authenticity in our walk with God. Whether you’re in a season of questioning or joy, this episode will stir your faith and challenge you to grow deeper in your relationship with God.
Listen now and be inspired to seek God afresh — not out of habit, but from the heart.
In this heartfelt and timely episode, we dive into the prophetic cry of Habakkuk, exploring how his questions to God mirror our own frustrations with injustice, delay, and disappointment—especially in our personal lives and as a nation.
Drawing from Habakkuk 1:2–5, The Senior Pastor, Rev. Peter Ameadaji unpacks the prophet’s complaint about the violence and corruption in his time, which bears striking similarities to the current state of our world, especially in Nigeria. But more importantly, we reflect on God’s response: “Be utterly amazed…” — a reminder that God is always at work, even when we can’t see it.
This episode teaches us:
How to trust God's eternal timeline, even when answers seem delayed.
The importance of patient, persistent prayer during times of national and personal crisis.
The transformative journey from frustration to faith, just like Habakkuk experienced.
Why “the just shall live by faith” is still deeply relevant today.
Whether you're praying for change in your nation or waiting on God in a personal situation, this episode offers encouragement, insight, and hope that God's answer will come—in His perfect time.
🎧 Tune in, reflect, and be inspired to keep holding on in faith.

Paul’sletter to the Romans is his greatest. It is one of the most powerful documentsever written. Of all the New Testament letters, Romans is the broadest in scopeand deepest in insight. The book of Romans has affected and transformed manylives over the ages.
Testimonieson the Impact of the Book of Romans:
i. SaintAugustine of Hippo
ii. MartinLuther
iii. JohnBunyan
iv. JohnWesley
TheCentral Theme of the book of Romans, many say, is the “The Righteousness ofGod,” and some say it is “From Guilt to Glory”. Perhaps they aredifferent ways of saying the same thing. What is obvious is that this letterdeals with how God, through Jesus Christ, has enabled human beings to movefrom:
· Aplace of Condemnation and sin to a place of reconciliation andrighteousness.
Inthe opening verses of the letter, Paul introduces himself to the believers inRome. Some of them must have known him personally, since he greets them in thefinal chapter, but many of them he had never met. So, in these first seventeen verses Paulseeks to link himself to his Roman readers in three ways:
· HePresented his CREDENTIALS – 1:1-7
· HeExpressed his CONCERN – 1:8-15
· HeAffirmed his CONFIDENCE – 1:16-17.
YOUTH-LED BIBLE STUDY WRAP UP SESSION - FOURSQUARE VGC - February 26, 2025
We will be pressured and hard-pressed on every side if we are to stay faithful to God and His Church.
To stay means to make a stand, to persevere to the end, no matter how daunting the situation is. We are to stand for the Lord and His Church in this challenging time.
This morning, let’s address God’s expectations of us and emphasize the necessities and blessings of our faithfulness to God and to His Church:
The Christian life on earth is filled with challenges and trials, so as Christians, we should expect challenges and trials; to think that we can walk through life without dealing with them is deceit. (John 16:33; James 1:2-4)
The Bible warns us that our faith will be tried and tested, but standing in faith gives us resounding victories. (1 John 5:4)
Challenges bring about trials and the testing of our faith.
Hence, the need to strengthen our faith before challenges and trials come. We shouldn't wait for challenging times before we build our spiritual armouries against them. (Ephesians 6:10-18)
For example, Israel as a nation had a lot of trials and political challenges, and this had taught them to continually reinforce their arsenal, strengthen their military base, and be battle-ready.
It would be disastrous for them to wait until an enemy launches an attack before they take this protective measure.
Likewise, a Christian should build a solid spiritual base or strength before challenging times.
To help us understand our topic of study, we will do a definition of some important words in the study.
• What is faith?
• What is the meaning of challenges?
• What does it mean to strengthen our faith in challenging times?
• Discipline and Spiritual discipline
Faith is a vital pillar of the Christian life; it anchors believers in their relationship with God.
Hebrews 11:1 defines faith as "the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen."
This verse is a foundational truth that sets the stage for trusting God, regardless of the uncertainties around us.
In today's world, challenges abound - economic crises, societal pressures, rising moral decadence, and the distraction of technological advancements. These hurdles test the depth of our faith.
Yet, God calls His people to live by faith, saying, "The just shall live by faith." (Habakkuk 2:4). Faith is not just an occasional response to life's challenges but a lifestyle that defines our walk with God
NATURE OF THE COMING CHALLENGING TIMES (Matthew 24:3-14)
1. There shall be famine, pestilences and earthquakes in diverse places.
2. Evil men will wax strong in their satanic activities.
3. There will be apostasies, betrayals, hatred among religious people.
4. The number and activities of false Prophets will be on the increase and of course they will deceive many people.
5. Believers will be hated, persecuted, afflicted and killed for Jesus’ sake.
6. Sinners will be increasing in their sinfulness, while many saints will become cold.
7. Some believers who were once on fire for the Lord are fast becoming lukewarm as a result of dying fire.
The faith that transforms nations is cultivated daily and demonstrated by reaching out to sinners, being generous to the poor, and adding value to our communities and the world.
These are the practical ways to transform nations for Christ.
Challenge: What will you do to impact (transform nations for Christ) your community by faith?
The faith that transforms nations must be cultivated daily and demonstrated by reaching out to sinners, being generous to the poor, and adding value to our communities and the world.
These are the practical ways to transform nations for Christ. Think and pray about what you can contribute to your community, and trust God to use you to bring souls to Jesus this week.
Bible Study Wrap up - Pst Okien Peters ( Wednesday 29th, 2025)
Today the enemies of the church of Jesus Christ are not political or national or ethnic.
Paul said, “We do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.” (Ephesians 6:12) Until our King comes from heaven, we wish for the destruction of no man.
As Christians we do not kill our enemies, we pray for our enemies, as Jesus taught us to do. (Matthew 5:44)
The great battle today is fought not with swords, but with the gospel of Jesus Christ crucified and risen. It is fought for the souls of men.
It is fought in the power of the Holy Spirit. It is fought with words of truth and deeds of love and justice.
And all of that backed by prayer. The victory will come and will come by prayer.
Your declarations matter: 1 Kings 17
What is resounding victory?
Resounding victory is a decisive, over-whelming and unmistakable triumph over challenges, obstacles, or adversaries.
Resounding victories are often marked by:
i.
Recognizable changes
ii.
Complete dominance or success
iii.
Celebrations because of its magnitude and impact.
Is a believer’s victory a distant hope?
Not at all. Romans 8:37; 1 Corinthians 15:57; John 16:33; and Philippians 4:13, tell us that the believer’s victory is a present reality. It is victory we are called to enjoy now. Christians are to walk in this reality through their close and daily relationship with God.
