YALO On Air – 28 December 2025 Episode 104 Inspiration brought to you by Women of Africa Care and produced in association with Gospel4Grampian Radio, website g4g.org.uk ___________________________________________________________________________ Topic: Take Captive Your Thoughts 2 Corinthians 10:3-6 For though we walk in the flesh, we are not waging war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh but have divine power to destroy strongholds. We destroy arguments and every lofty (rebellious) opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ, being ready to punish every disobedience, when your obedience is complete. If you realized how powerful your thoughts are, you would never think a negative thought. Peace Pilgrim A man is but the product of his thoughts, what he thinks he becomes. Mahatma Gandhi Kenneth Copeland “Your thoughts have power. Thoughts in line with the Word of God will protect you—spirit, soul and body. Negative thoughts will cost you dearly in the same areas. Romans 7.14-17 So the trouble is not with the law, for it is spiritual and good. The trouble is with me, for I am all too human, a slave to sin. 15I don’t really understand myself, for I want to do what is right, but I don’t do it. Instead, I do what I hate. 16But if I know that what I am doing is wrong, this shows that I agree that the law is good. 17So I am not the one doing wrong; it is sin living in me that does it.

And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Fear - ‘How very little can be done under the spirit of fear.’ Florence Nightingale Fear is an obstacle that hinders you of progress. Fear is an expectation of the something terrible that is anticipated to take place. And until you face that giant of fear it will always be a disabling factor that robs you of going to the other side of that obstacle. 2 Tim 1.7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. 1 Corinthians 14:14 “For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful.” (KJV) 1 Corinthians 14: 15, 17 “I will pray with the spirit, and I will also pray with the understanding. I will sing with the spirit, and I will also sing with the understanding…. For you indeed give thanks well, but the other is not edified.” (NKJV) Source of Joy Galatians 5.22-23 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law Isaiah 55.12 - “For you shall go out in joy and be led forth in peace; the mountains and the hills before you shall break forth into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands. Matthew 2.1 Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, wise men from the east came to Jerusalem, Matthew 2.11 - And going into the house, they saw the child with Mary his mother, and they fell down and worshiped him. Then, opening their treasures, they offered him gifts, gold and frankincense and myrrh. Source of Peace Psalm 34:14 – “Turn away from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it.” Isaiah 9.6 For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Luke 2.14“Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among those with whom he is pleased!” John 14:27 – “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid Colossians 3:15 – “And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful.” Isaiah 26:3 – “You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you.” Philippians 4:6-7 – “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” Christ the covenant peace keeper - Isaiah 54:10 – “For the mountains may depart and the hills be removed, but my steadfast love shall not depart from you, and my covenant of peace shall not be removed, says the Lord, who has compassion on you.” Source of Light John 9.5 While I am in the world, I am the light of the world.” Micah 7.8 Do not gloat over me, my enemy! Though I have fallen, I will rise. Though I sit in darkness, the LORD will be my light. Psalm 27.1 The LORD is my light and my salvation— whom shall I fear? The LORD is the stronghold of my life— of whom shall I be afraid Isaiah 9.2-3 The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; those who dwelt in a land of deep darkness, on them has light shone. You have multiplied the nation; you hav

Christ introduction to the world through the eye witness of Apostle John a disciple of Christ! John 1 The Word Became Flesh John 1 we read of Christ being God and always existed revealing Christ divinity- 1In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2He was with God in the beginning. 3Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. 4In him was life, and that life was the light of all The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us.

WOAC On Air –01 January 2026 Episode 172 Inspiration brought to you by Women of Africa Care and produced in association with Gospel4Grampian Radio, website g4g.org.uk ___________________________________________________________________________ Topic: Having the mind of Christ Philippians 2.5Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus Philippians 2.1-11 Imitating Christ’s Humility 1 Therefore if you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any common sharing in the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, 2 then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and of one mind. 3 Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, 4 not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others. 5 In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus: 6 Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; 7 rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. 8 And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death— even death on a cross! 9 Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, 10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11 and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. 1 Cor 2.16 The natural person does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are folly to him, and he is not able to understand them because they are spiritually discerned. The spiritual person judges all things, but is himself to be judged by no one. For who has known or understood the mind (the counsels and purposes) of the Lord so as to guide and instruct Him and give Him knowledge? But we have the mind of Christ (the Messiah) and do hold the thoughts (feelings and purposes) of His heart. John 16.33 I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.” If you realized how powerful your thoughts are, you would never think a negative thought. Peace Pilgrim A man is but the product of his thoughts, what he thinks he becomes. Mahatma Gandhi Kenneth Copeland “Your thoughts have power. Thoughts in line with the Word of God will protect you—spirit, soul and body. Negative thoughts will cost you dearly in the same areas. Kenneth Copeland states that “Thoughts can come into your mind from all sides, but you can choose what will stay and what you will cast out.” Jesus said in John 5.30 “I can do nothing on my own. As I hear, I judge, and my judgment is just, because I seek not my own will but the will of him who sent me. 2 Cor 10.5 We destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ, Romans 8.1-17Life in the Spirit There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.[a] 2 For the law of the Spirit of life has set you[b] free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death. 3 For God has done what the law, weakened by the flesh, could not do. By sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin,[c] he condemned sin in the flesh, 4 in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. 5 For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit. 6 For to set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace. 7 For the mind that is set on the flesh is hostile to God, for it does not submit to God's law; indeed, it cannot. 8 Those who are in the

Our Christmas edition with Alison Cran and Kevin Deans. Our theme is Peace. with John 3:16 in German, Russian and Filipino Taglog Alison reads from Isaiah 9: 2-7 “The people who walk in darkness will see a great light. For those who live in a land of deep darkness, a light will shine. You will enlarge the nation of Israel, and its people will rejoice. They will rejoice before you as people rejoice at the harvest and like warriors dividing the plunder. For you will break the yoke of their slavery and lift the heavy burden from their shoulders. You will break the oppressor’s rod, just as you did when you destroyed the army of Midian. The boots of the warrior and the uniforms bloodstained by war will all be burned. They will be fuel for the fire. For a child is born to us, a son is given to us. The government will rest on his shoulders. And he will be called: Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. His government and its peace will never end. He will rule with fairness and justice from the throne of his ancestor David for all eternity. The passionate commitment of the Lord of Heaven’s Armies will make this happen!” Introduced by Rob Rowe

WOAC On Air – 11 December 2025 Episode 169 Inspiration brought to you by Women of Africa Care produced in association with Gospel4Grampian Radio, website g4g.org.uk ___________________________________________________________________________ Topic: Maskil - Faith and Forgiveness under persecution Biblehub: maskiyl: Insightful, instructive, a reflective/thoughtful poem or song mashkil) a Psalm composed for the purpose of imparting insight. The heading signals( מַשְׂכִּיל that the composition is meant to lead worshippers beyond mere emotion into understanding— shaping the mind as well as the heart. While the poetry may be lyrical or lamenting, its primary intention is didactic, inviting the listener to ponder the ways of God, the perils of sin, and the path of covenant faithfulness.

WOAC On Air – 04 December 2025 Episode 168 Inspiration brought to you by Women of Africa Care Pty Ltd and produced in association with Gospel4Grampian Radio, website g4g.org.uk ___________________________________________________________________________ Topic: Selah - Pause! Ponder! Respond Study from biblehub Selah (“Selah” appears seventy-four times in the Hebrew Scriptures, predominantly in the Book of Psalms and three times in Habakkuk,…its presence consistently calls worshipers to pause, ponder, and respond to the truths just expressed, a call for self-examination, self-reflection.Theological Significance • Emphasis on divine sovereignty. By inserting a purposeful pause, the inspired authors highlight God’s works as worthy of contemplation (Psalm 66:4). • Call to trust. In Psalm 55:19 David writes, “God, who is enthroned from of old, will hear and afflict them—Selah—because they do not change and do not fear God.” The break magnifies the certainty of divine justice. • Assurance amidst crisis. The refrain “Selah” anchors the repeated confession, “I will not be afraid” (Psalm 3:6), directing hearts from fear to faith.

WOAC On Air – 13 November 2025 Episode 165 Inspiration brought to you by Women of Africa Care produced in association with Gospel4Grampian Radio, website g4g.org.uk ___________________________________________________________________________ Topic: No Trial Has Overtaken You Britannica to move up to and past (someone or something that is in front of you) by moving faster. Surpass 1 Cor 10.13 No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, He will also provide an escape, so that you can stand up under it. (Hebrews 4:14–16). Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has ascended into heaven, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to the faith we profess. 15 For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet he did not sin. 16 Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need. John 16.33 “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” James 1.12 Loving God Under Trials 12 Blessed is the man who endures temptation (trials/testing); for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him. 13 Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am tempted (trial/tested) by God”; for God cannot be tempted (trialed/tested) by evil, nor does He Himself tempt (trial/test) anyone. 14 But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own desires and enticed. 15 Then, when desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, brings forth death.

Revelations 12.17 The Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” And let the one who hears say, “Come!” Let the one who is thirsty come; and let the one who wishes take the free gift of the water of life. Holy Spirit was with Israel in the wilderness present in the Glory cloud and fire leading Israel in the wilderness

This week Jessica Priest and Pastor Fergus Buchan explore the subject of being diligent to get into God's Rest Hebrews 4:11-12 11 Let us, therefore, make every effort to enter that rest, so that no one will perish by following their example of disobedience. 12 For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.
