GiVA
APOLOGETICS
Explain & Explicate the Holy Scripture
Vision Statement:
Empowering believers to embrace a grace-driven life of holiness and obedience, passionately pursuing a deeper relationship with God, and reflecting Christ’s character in their daily lives.
Mission Statement:
Our mission is to inspire and equip individuals to wholeheartedly follow Jesus Christ, cultivating a culture of obedience, humility, and love, as we journey together towards a life of holiness, grounded in the transforming power of God’s grace.
These statements capture the essence of the heart of the ministry emphasizing the pursuit of holiness, obedience, and a deepening relationship with God, all grounded in the grace-driven life.
Two of the guiding Bible verses for GIVA Apologetics Ministry are Philippians 2: 5 and 2: 13:
[5] “In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus.”
[13] for it is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose.
We, as a ministry, understand and use these verses as guiding principles and light for GIVA Apologetics Ministry of explaining and explicating the Holy Scriptures:
1. Humility and Unity (Philippians 2:5): Emulate Christ’s selfless mindset in our relationships within the ministry and with those we serve, that is the Body of Christ. Foster unity, love, and humility, recognizing that our ministry is not about personal glory but about glorifying God.
2. God-centered Purpose (Philippians 2:13): Recognize that our abilities, wisdom, and accomplishments come from God. Trust that He is working through us to fulfill His purposes. We daily stay dependent on Him, seeking His guidance and strength in all aspects of this ministry.
3. Service-oriented: Christ’s mindset was focused on serving others. Similarly, prioritize serving those seeking answers and guidance, providing clear explanations and explications of Scripture.
4. God’s Sovereignty: Acknowledge that God is the one who works in us and through us. Trust in His sovereignty, even in challenging situations or difficult questions. Please let us know when we mess up.
5. Dependence on God’s Strength: When facing intellectual or spiritual challenges, we remember that it is God who enables us to think, understand, and communicate His truth effectively.
By embracing these principles, this apologetics ministry will be characterized by humility, unity, God-centeredness, service, and dependence on His strength, ultimately glorifying Christ and fulfilling His purposes.
My name is Isaac Megbolugbe. Part of my 70Plus lifestyle includes a low key reboot of my earlier ministry as a Christian Apologist. I brand this ministry repositioning as GIVA Apologetics to allow me include audience of both the Body of Christ and the Body of Human Family.
My statement of faith is as follows. I am a sinner. God is Holy. But God has set up a redemption plan in Jesus Christ. This is so that anyone who wants to be reconciled with God can do so in His Son through the JesusOnly Gospel.
I believe that my statement of faith succinctly captures the essence of the Christian message:
- God loves me and you
- Acknowledging our sinfulness and separation from God
- Recognizing God’s holiness and perfection
- Embracing the redemption plan He has provided through Jesus Christ
- Finding reconciliation and salvation in Jesus alone, through the Gospel message
The words of my statement of faith echo the Bible’s teachings, such as Romans 3:23-24, “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.” and John 14:6, “Jesus answered, ‘I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.'”
I pray that my faith continues to be a source of strength, hope, and joy, and may God sustain His anointing upon me and continue to empower me to share this transformative message with others, guiding them to the loving embrace of our Heavenly Father, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen!
