    BEYOND CHURCH: What Does Real Worship Look Like?
    Feb 1 2025
    WAIT CONFERENCE 2025|| UNDERSTANDING WORSHIP BEYOND MUSIC|| SESSION 11|| CHIMDI M. OHAHUNA Welcome to this session of the WAIT CONFERENCE ’25. Discover how being led by the Holy Spirit is the ultimate proof of God’s fatherhood in your life, and how true worship is a vibrant, spirit-led response that encompasses your whole being. Are you truly living as a son or daughter of God? This episode delves into the profound connection between being led by the Holy Spirit and accepting the fatherhood of God. We explore the powerful truth that God’s guidance isn’t just a privilege, but a proof that we’ve embraced our position in His family. We explore the scriptural foundation laid in Malachi 1:6, where honor is revealed as obedience. This understanding leads us to the heart of true worship: an absolute acceptance of God’s fatherhood over every aspect of our lives. Just as a loving earthly father desires to guide his child, so too does the Holy Spirit long to instruct and lead every believer. This episode will challenge you to consider what authentic, Spirit-led worship looks like. Discover in this session, how it goes beyond mere actions or words and requires compliance to the will and word of God. It’s a lifestyle where our spirit, empowered by the Holy Spirit, responds to the very heart of God. We explore the concept of worship as looking and living like Christ. It’s not enough to merely emulate His image; we must embody His character in our daily lives. (2 Corinthians 3:18). True worship encompasses our spirit, soul, and body, all united in a cry of “Abba Father.” Discover the practical elements of engagement with God through Bible study and prayer (Romans 12:1). These aren’t just religious routines, they’re avenues to be led and transformed by the Holy Spirit, allowing our bodies to become living sacrifices. Also, how neglecting these essential practices can stifle our worship and hinder the manifestation of God’s life, Zoe, within us. This episode will ultimately reveal that true worship is not just an event, but the phaneroo – the visible and undeniable manifestation of the sons and daughters of God. Join us as we explore how to fully embrace the Spirit-led life and become radiant reflectors of our Heavenly Father’s love. Key takeaways from this episode: • The Holy Spirit’s guidance is proof of your adoption into God’s family. • True worship is rooted in obedience and complete acceptance of God’s fatherhood. • Worship is a holistic response involving your spirit, soul, and body. • Bible study and prayer are essential for maintaining a vibrant worship life. • Living out Christ’s character is a crucial component of true worship. • Worship is the manifestation of the glorious life of the children of God.

  • 1 TRUTH ABOUT YOUR SPIRIT MAN YOU MUST KNOW

    1 TRUTH ABOUT YOUR SPIRIT MAN YOU MUST KNOW
    Jan 30 2025
    WAIT CONFERENCE 2025|| UNDERSTANDING WORSHIP BEYOND MUSIC|| SESSION 10|| CHIMDI M. OHAHUNA Welcome back to the WAIT CONFERENCE ’25! We’re thrilled to continue our journey of exploring the profound and transformative lifestyle of worship, specifically as beloved children of God. In this powerful session, we delve deeper into a fundamental question: What truly is worship? We move beyond superficial understanding to uncover the core of its essence and how it shapes our daily walk. This isn’t just about singing songs or attending church services. Discover the concept of worship as a dynamic and continuous connection between our spirit man – the very core of our being – and the Holy Spirit. We examine how this holy interaction is designed to be an unwavering, life-giving force within us. This episode tackles a crucial point: apostasy is the only thing that can disrupt the unity of faith between our spirit and the Holy Spirit, as highlighted in Mark 11:24. Also, discover the implications of this in the context of New Birth, understanding that our spirit man’s connection to the Spirit of God is meant to be unbreakable. This is not a connection that can be lost, but rather one that can be strengthened and deepened. In addition, in this session we will explore the concept of holistic worship. It’s not just an internal feeling, but the outward expression of the inner communion between the believer and the Holy Spirit. This means that the perpetual connection between our spirit man and the Holy Spirit must transform our soul and then ultimately manifest through our physical body. We’ll uncover how aligning the soul with the spirit and bringing our body into alignment as well, will give way to the full expression of Holy Spirit. Key takeaways from this session include: • Worshippers are practitioners of the Word of God: We’ll explore the practical outworking of a life of worship, understanding that our response to His Word is an act of worship in itself. • The Fruit of the Spirit: We’ll examine the fruit of the Spirit, understood as the evidence of the New Creation human spirit’s union with the Holy Spirit, reflecting the beautiful synergy between God and us. • The Spirit Man’s Understanding: We dive into how the spirit man of the New Creation naturally understands the language and revelation of the Holy Spirit, unlocking deeper levels of spiritual insight. • Provision Based on Finished Work: We uncover how our reception of the finished work of Christ is the foundation for partaking in God’s provision and abundance. • The Ever-Present Teacher: We discuss how teaching in the faith evolves and it does not depend on age but on experience and our personal encounters with the Holy spirit. Ultimately, we understand that the Holy Spirit is our ultimate teacher, as highlighted in Hebrews 1:1. This session culminates in the powerful realization that the continuous communion between our spirit man and the Holy Spirit ensures that nothing takes us by surprise. This constant contact equips us to walk in confidence, peace, and purpose, fully aligned with God’s will. Join us as we explore these vital aspects of worship, providing practical insights and a deeper understanding of your incredible relationship with the Holy Spirit. Be prepared to be challenged, encouraged, and transformed as we continue to unpack the rich teachings of the WAIT CONFERENCE ’25. Grace to you! Jesus is Lord.

  • THE SOUND OF A CRUSHED ALABASTER BOX: Hearing the Heart of Worship

    THE SOUND OF A CRUSHED ALABASTER BOX: Hearing the Heart of Worship
    Jan 29 2025
    WAIT CONFERENCE 2025|| UNDERSTANDING WORSHIP BEYOND MUSIC|| SESSION 9|| CHIMDI M. OHAHUNA This is the ninth session of the WAIT Conference ’25, we will continue deeper into the heart of worship! Discover what true worship truly entails as we build on the foundations laid in previous sessions and our anchor scripture is, Romans 12:1. In this session, we are shifting our focus to a powerful definition of worship: unashamedly pouring out our inner selves upon Jesus in a loving and affectionate way. Together, let us explore why so many Christians struggle with this level of devotion. We will uncover the spiritual battles outlined in Romans 8 that seek to distract us and hinder our complete surrender to Christ. This isn’t just about religious activity; it’s about heartfelt devotion – pouring out our whole being to the Lord. We will examine how devotion to anything other than Jesus, be it things or issues, becomes a distraction, a detour orchestrated by Satan. This is where the understanding of the “alabaster box” comes into play. Referencing the familiar story from Mark 14:3, we’ll unpack the symbolism of the alabaster box as representing our own flesh. To truly worship, we must break this box, pouring out its costly contents (our very selves) upon Jesus. This isn’t a one-time event but an ongoing process of surrender. This message challenges the notion of superficial devotion. While devotionals can be helpful, they pale in comparison to living a life devoted to Christ, a life where we lose ourselves to gain Him. This is dying to the flesh so that we can truly live for Christ. We will unpack what it truly means to have our “alabaster box shattered beyond repair” and how this leads to a holistic experience of worship that renders the devil’s distractions powerless. This session also dispels the myth that God humbles the proud – instead, the Bible reveals He resists the proud by opposing their will. True worship is born out of a crushed flesh, not just the performance of religious rituals. Finally, we will connect the dots, revealing that the crushing of our alabaster box is not a brutal act, but one that is engendered by a spirit overflowing with the Word of God, a spirit that is made fuller than our flesh. It is in the crushing of our flesh that true, wholehearted worship is found. Tune in to discover the power of shattering your alabaster box and embrace a life of dedicated, passionate worship. This episode will challenge, equip, and inspire you to deeper devotion to Jesus. Key Themes Covered: • The meaning of true worship • The battles against distraction and detraction • The symbolism of the alabaster box • Dying to the flesh for a life in Christ • The role of God’s Word in spiritual growth • The importance of a crushed flesh for true worship • Understanding why God resists the proud and how to live in humility Grace to you! Jesus is Lord.

  • THE FULLNESS OF WORSHIP: Beyond the Spirit Engaging Your Entire Being

    THE FULLNESS OF WORSHIP: Beyond the Spirit Engaging Your Entire Being
    Jan 29 2025
    WAIT CONFERENCE 2025|| UNDERSTANDING WORSHIP BEYOND MUSIC|| SESSION 8|| CHIMDI M. OHAHUNA Welcome to this session of WAIT CONFERENCE ’25. Go beyond the typical understanding of worship and discover how your body, soul, and spirit are all vital in truly connecting with God. Have you ever considered that worship involves more than just singing and spiritual experiences? Join us as we proceed further into a deeper understanding of worship, moving beyond the familiar emphasis on the spirit to embrace a holistic approach that includes your body and soul. Still on the subject and nature of worship, in this teaching session we are focusing on Romans 12:1, which calls us to offer our bodies as living sacrifices – our "reasonable worship." We've traditionally concentrated on John 4:24, "worshipping in spirit and in truth," and rightly so. But what about the role of our physical selves? In this episode, we explore how our bodies are integral to our worship, not an afterthought. Discover how true worship is about filling God with our heart, expressing that heartfelt connection through our bodies. Drawing from Philippians 3:10, we'll explore the Greek word "Ginosko," meaning "to feel," and how worship is essentially seeking to know and feel God more deeply. This inner experience, rooted in our spirit man, must translate through our body, reflecting the truth of what we feel in our spirit. This is where alignment comes in. Our spirit, feeling God, must align our soul, and our soul, in turn, must align our body. If your body's actions and choices don't reflect the God you feel in your spirit, then our worship is incomplete. We wil examine Apostle Paul's powerful statement of "putting his body under" (1 Corinthians 9:27) and how this speaks to a powerful message of holistic worship. This discipline isn't about suppression but rather about liberation and fully expressing our love for God through our whole being. We'll explore the challenges we face, from the everyday busyness of our souls and bodies which can lead to disconnect from our spirit man. We must learn to deliberately cultivate a connection that keeps our soul aligned to our spirit, and our body aligned to our soul. This deliberate fellowship helps us continually magnify God in our spirit, soul, and body, thereby living a lifestyle of complete worship. Ultimately, we will define "all-inclusive worship" – where what we experience in the spirit is reflected in our soul and ultimately manifested through our body. This is about living a life of continuous worship, 24/7, in the fullness of our being. Key takeaways from this episode: • Understanding the biblical basis for holistic worship (Romans 12:1, John 4:24). • Why the body is not an afterthought but a vital part of worship. • The meaning of the Greek word "Ginosko" and worship as "feeling God." • The importance of aligning the spirit, soul, and body in worship. • Practical insights into living a lifestyle of holistic worship. • Defining "all-inclusive worship." Join us as we explore this transformative understanding of worship and learn how to engage our entire being in a deeper relationship with God!

  • THE MOVEMENT OF THE SPIRIT: Following God's Lead

    THE MOVEMENT OF THE SPIRIT: Following God's Lead
    Jan 26 2025

    WAIT CONFERENCE 2025|| UNDERSTANDING WORSHIP BEYOND MUSIC|| SESSION 7|| CHIMDI M. OHAHUNA

    Welcome to this session of WAIT Conference. Our mission is to help believers live a life of worship, deepen their intimacy with God, and experience transformative change in their daily lives.

    What is WAIT? WAIT is an acronym for:-

    Worship: Living a life of worship is the foundation of our walk with God. Worship brings us into God's presence, allowing us to experience His glory and majesty.

    - Anointing: Worship leads to the anointing, which is the consciousness of the Holy Spirit in our lives. John reminds us that we have an unction—the Holy Spirit—who teaches us everything.

    - Intimacy: The consciousness of the Holy Spirit fosters intimacy with God. Our relationship with Him becomes deeper and more personal.

    - Transformation: With intimacy comes transformation. As Christ is formed within us, our lives are transformed, and we become living testimonies of His grace and power.

    Our Purpose

    As believers, our ultimate goal is to glorify Jesus and reveal Christ to humanity. Matthew 5:16 tells us that when people see our transformed lives, they give glory to God. The WAIT Conference Podcast is dedicated to helping you achieve this by focusing on the following:

    - Worship in the Body: Understanding the importance of presenting our bodies as living sacrifices. Our spirit naturally worships God, but there is a special place for our bodies in this process.

    Supremacy of God's Word: We emphasize the importance of God's Word as the ultimate authority in our lives. True worship means submitting to His Lordship and allowing His Word to guide us.

    Living Sacrifices: We encourage believers to live sacrificially, offering their bodies as a testimony of their devotion to God. This sacrificial living brings about the movement of the Holy Spirit, leading us to the Word of God.

    This episode of the WAIT Conference Podcast is designed to inspire, uplift, and challenge you to grow in your faith. Explore practical ways to incorporate worship, anointing, intimacy, and transformation into your daily life. The teaching will help you understand the importance of presenting your bodies as living sacrifices, fully embracing the movement of the Holy Spirit, and living a life that glorifies God.

    Tune in and be part of this journey of faith. Let's worship God in spirit and truth together, experience the anointing of the Holy Spirit, deepen our intimacy with Him, and live transformed lives that reveal Christ to the world.

    Jesus is Lord.

  • WORSHIP BEYOND WORDS: A Lifestyle of Services

    WORSHIP BEYOND WORDS: A Lifestyle of Services
    Jan 21 2025

    WAIT CONFERENCE 2025|| UNDERSTANDING WORSHIP BEYOND MUSIC|| SESSION 6|| CHIMDI M. OHAHUNA

    Welcome to session 6 of the WAIT CONFERENCE 2025! WAIT stands for Worship, Anointing, Intimacy, and Transformation. This conference is designed to guide us in living a life of true worship, which brings about the anointing—the consciousness of the Holy Spirit. As John says, "You have an unction from the Holy One, and He shall teach you everything." This consciousness leads to greater intimacy with God and, ultimately, transformation in our daily lives.

    Worship is a service to God. When we looked at the word worship, we saw that it's actually a service. It's a service we render to God with our bodies. Worship is the nature of our spirit man, but it must reflect in our bodies. That is the service we give to God. And we don't do it in timing, we do it as we live, continuously, perpetually for as long as we are here in the body, keep doing it. And when we go to heaven, we continue. And when we come to New Jerusalem, we continue. And so, we need to understand this. This understanding of reasonable service, and reasonable worship, will keep us intact and make us live the way God has ordered us to lead our lives. Like I said earlier, the solution to all the arguments is worship. When your deep calls to the deep of God, the Lord will lead you. The Lord will tell you what to do and what not to do.

    In these times we are living in, like never before, we need worshippers. Because of the so many arguments in the Christian faith, we need worshippers. Heartfelt worshipers, chronic worshipers, lifestyle worshipers. Not worshippers by flamboyance, not worshippers by show-off, but worshippers by love. Because, if that begins to happen, you see that we stop arguing in the Christian faith. We will stop arguing. Worship will end all the arguments. Because when you look at me and you see Christ in me, has the argument not been ended? The argument has ended.

    Worship is evident. Worship is glaring. Worship is tangible. That is why it is the solution to all the arguments we are having between each other. Let everyone, of course, render the reasonable worship to God as God requires of it. For you, God may be requiring A and B and C, but for me, He may be requiring F and G and H. Based on the level of work He has designed for you and me, it will require different levels of service. But at the end of the day, the bottom line is that people will see that we are worshipers. You cannot be a worshiper and people will not see it. I stand on this over and over again. It will reflect in our bodies. Our bodies will reflect the worship nature, our worship nature on the inside. And that is actually our reasonable service. So once again, the bottom line remains, the focus here is the body, our body worshiping God. That's been the focus of this study since we began. Our bodies worship God. Glorify the Lord in your bodies. And that is the call. And I trust God that as many as will listen to this teaching, they will begin to desire to see who they are in their spirit manifest in their body. You see when your spirit manifests to your body, it's not mechanical. It's not legalistic but it's realistic. It's just living in the reality. You flow and you just enjoy worship. And I pray that today everybody who will listen to this would allow the flow of the worshipper in the spirit man into our bodies so that we will be the living worship of God that people will see and desire to worship God. In Jesus' name, Amen. God bless you.


    Jesus is Lord.

  • GOODNESS AND UPRIGHT: Revelation from Psalm 25 (2)

    GOODNESS AND UPRIGHT: Revelation from Psalm 25 (2)
    Jan 20 2025

    Welcome to this teaching session, we study the Book of Psalm 25:9-10, which declares, "Good and upright is the Lord; therefore will He teach sinners in the way. The meek will He guide in judgment, and the meek will He teach His way. All the paths of the Lord are mercy and truth unto such as keep His covenant and His testimonies." Our prayer today is for the Holy Spirit to grant us revelation into this profound word.


    David, the Psalmist, consistently describes God with the adjective "good." Throughout scripture, the emphasis on God's goodness is profound. Interestingly, the Bible rarely uses the words "better" or "best" to describe God, except in specific contexts like "better is the end of a matter than the beginning." Instead, the word "good" is frequently and consistently used.


    This recurring use of "good" signifies something profound about God's disposition, personality, perception, and description of the things He created. From the beginning, in Genesis chapter 1, we see the word "good" repeatedly used to describe God's creation, culminating in "very good."


    Understanding the significance of "good" helps us grasp the essence of God's nature and how He relates to His creation. God's goodness is not just a characteristic but a fundamental aspect of His being. The paths of the Lord are marked by mercy and truth for those who keep His covenant and testimonies.


    Join us as we explore the depth of God's goodness and its implications for our lives. Looking into the scriptures, uncovering the layers of meaning behind God's repeated affirmation of goodness. We'll see how this goodness guides, teaches and transforms us as we walk in His ways.


    May this episode enlighten our hearts and minds, drawing us closer to a profound understanding of God's inherent goodness. Let the revelation of His goodness inspire us to live lives that reflect His mercy, truth, and covenant love.


    Tune in as we journey through the Word, seeking deeper insights into the nature of our good and upright LORD.


    Jesus is Lord.
