To walk with Jesus

·38 min·3 clips

Shola explains how the devil's corrupted data acts like malware that hacks your entire system.

Shola starts with thanksgiving. Before he teaches, he sits with God's grace, mercy, and the personal way God has been dealing with him. Then he admits the difficulty. Following Jesus, for him, is hard because faith has to move before the mind has arranged every answer. Hebrews gives him the first anchor: God rewards those who diligently seek him, not people who only pretend to believe. The episode keeps circling back to learning. Shola says the hard part is not that Jesus denies rest, but that Jesus asks people to learn him while carrying a yoke. Then he reaches for the computer picture. Someone can use software for years and still find, during a major project, that the tool seems weak because they never learned it well. That is his warning. You cannot squeeze years of ignored instruction into three weeks after the work has arrived. He applies that to discipleship. A believer who has not learned God's ways may blame God, the burden, or the moment, when the real problem is unread instruction. The tone stays warm, though. Shola keeps coming back to grace. The yoke is there, but Jesus carries most of it and makes the burden light. Growth matters more than looking perfect. Near the end, he compares believers under different pressures, including China, Saudi Arabia, and Northern Nigeria, to show that God understands context. Persecution changes the measure. A small basket from constrained ground may count for more than orchards from easier soil. He closes without acting finished. Walking with Jesus sounds like daily learning, daily carrying, and daily mercy.

As heard by us

A devotional meditation on faith as the long apprenticeship of walking with Jesus.

Following Jesus is treated here as a lifelong education in faith, not a posture the mind can simply master or perform. Shola grounds the reflection in Hebrews 11:6, holding together belief in God's existence with the promise that he rewards those who diligently seek him.
