Episode 101: Episode 101: Pentecost-In Step With The Holy Spirit

Thank you for stopping by. Life raises hard questions. Oasis of Hope brings them to God's Word. Hosted by Drs. Johnson and Feyi Obamehinti, this Christian faith and biblical teaching podcast offers scripture-grounded conversation on the real challenges believers face: spiritual growth, faith, relationships, cultural pressures, and living a kingdom life in a complex and complicated world. Each episode is rooted in prayer, anchored in truth, and offered with pastoral warmth to followers of Christ around the globe. Wherever you are in your walk with God, there is hope here! Scripture Reference: “But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, He will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you.” - John 14:26 A nation that sets its gaze towards God is a nation that God will bless! (Psalm 33:12- “Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD; and the people whom He hath chosen for His own inheritance”). As a nation we get to rededicate USA to the LORD as part of the 250th celebration of the independence of our nation on May 17, 2026. We encourage Christians no matter where you are to participate in prayer, worship and thanksgiving. Let us usher in the healing balm of the LORD as we follow through the scripture truth from 2 Chronicles 7:14- “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.”  Followers of Christ all around the world are also setting their gaze towards Pentecost. This year Pentecost falls on Sunday, May 24, 2026. Pentecost is a celebration of the blessing of the Holy Spirit upon the disciples of Christ as explained in the Book of Acts 2: 1-31. The Holy Spirit is the third Person of the Trinity that abides with believers (Romans 8:11). The Holy Spirit helps us to live in accordance to God’s ways. Our lives are under God’s eternal governance and require His truth to ensure Christ’s body of believers are exactly who He created us to in our world. In a time that there are myriads of deceptions, masquerading as truth, it is important for followers of Christ to stake their lives on the unshakable truth of God's Word. The Word of God has the power to do the following in our daily lives: Sustain believers (Jeremiah 15:16-18)Feed believers (1 Peter 2:2)Quench believers’ thirst (John 4:14)Fill believers (Colossians 3:16-18)Wash believers (Ephesians 5:20)We need the help of the Holy Spirit in our daily lives to sustain us, feed us, quench thirst, fill us and wash us daily in God’s holy Word. Without His guidance, assistance and friendship followers of Christ tend to lose their way in a chaotic world. As we look towards Pentecost this year, we encourage you to cultivate a deep friendship with the Holy Spirit. The impact and fruit from a Holy Spirit governed life brings honor and glory to God! (John 15:5).     In Christ's Love,   Drs. Johnson & Feyi Obamehinti
