BIBLE STUDY| MIRACLES OF JESUS SERIES.|THE FOURTH MIRACLE OF JESUS pt.54| THE FEEDING OF 5,000 MEN WITH 5 LOAVES OF BREAD AND 2 FISHES| CHIMDI OHAHUNA The Gift of Prophecy Join host Chimdi Ohahuna for another enlightening session of The Miracles of Jesus Bible Study, where we delve deep into the transformative power of prophecy as revealed in Scripture. In this episode, we explore 1 Corinthians 12:10 and Jeremiah 29:11, focusing on the profound message embedded in John 6:11: “And Jesus took the loaves; and when he had given thanks, he distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to them that were set down; and likewise of the fishes as much as they would.” What does it mean when we say that Jesus “distributed to the disciples”? This phrase serves as a metaphor for how the Holy Spirit gifts believers with spiritual insights and prophetic understanding, equipping them for the mission of spreading God’s love and truth to the world. Utilizing esteemed commentaries from Joseph Benson, John Wesley, John Gill, and others, we will unpack the Apostle Paul’s exhortation to Timothy—encouraging us not to despise prophecy, but to embrace it as a powerful tool guiding us through life's uncertainties. Discover how prophetic messages serve as a spiritual compass, foretelling not only the trials ahead but also the glory that awaits those who follow Christ. We will examine the richness of prophecy, including its biblical roots in the Old Testament and how it manifests today through visions, dreams, and inspired utterances. What does it look like when the body of Christ collectively learns to recognize and respond to God’s voice? We’ll discuss how prophecy can provide us divine insights for personal edification and preparation for the future. In this revealing episode, we’ll spotlight how prophecy is intricately tied to love and the gospel message. You'll learn that every statement of God’s love for humanity is, in its essence, a prophecy waiting to be shared. As Christ is proclaimed, the gift of prophecy empowers believers to speak forth God’s heart and intentions for His Church and the world. What does it mean to be “rooted and built up” in Christ through the speaking gifts? How can we ensure that our prophetic utterances align with the truth of God’s Word? As we journey through these questions, we'll emphasize the vital role prophecy plays within the Church community—releasing a fresh understanding and revelation of Jesus Christ. Tune in for an inspiring discussion that will encourage you to seek and cherish the gift of prophecy, equipping you to share the good news of Jesus with confidence.
