SHINE FORTH VS SHOW-OFF: Salvation is the ultimate restoration

CHIMDI M. OHAHUNA|COMMANDING THE YEAR 2025| RESTORATION Series - DAY 15: REVEALING CHRIST THROUGH RESTORATION

 

Welcome to Day 15 of our Restoration Series. In this session, we focus on the profound truth that any attempt to restore by oneself will ultimately end in futility. Drawing inspiration from Psalm 23, Joel 2:28, and Jeremiah 23:3, we emphasize the importance of calling on God, the ultimate Restorer of everything.

 

In today's episode, we explore how receiving God’s restoration is not enough; it must be revealed through living the life of Christ. Revealing Christ isn't about showing off—it's about shining Christ through our everyday lives. We must reveal the laughter and joy from the LORD, so the nations have something to talk about and witness the transformative power of Christ Jesus.

 

Discover the pitfalls of depending on secular processes and styles in our walk with God. Branding cannot stop the "Ark from falling" if God isn’t holding it. True revelation of Christ comes from living according to His principles, not worldly ones. Using worldly methods to present Jesus will never lead to genuine acceptance of Him.

 

Our call is to share the eternal life that Jesus came to bring, not just the things we believe He can do. God's restoration in our lives is meant to reveal Christ, not to prove a point to others. Isaiah 60:1-2 reminds us that instead of the church talking about the nations, it should be the other way around. Our light should shine brightly, undaunted by darkness.

 

Salvation is the ultimate restoration. We must reveal the salvation of Christ to the world, focusing on the purpose of our light, not its size. Pain and suffering can erode our joy and soul, but restoration through Christ brings back the joy of salvation.

 

Join us in this episode as we pray for God to restore our soul and the joy of salvation in our lives. And light on how to authentically reveal Christ through our restored lives. Tune in for an enlightening and encouraging teaching on living out the restoration we receive from God and shining His light in the world.

 

Grace to you!

Jesus is Lord.
