More about the message:
Jesus provided our redemption. To be redeemed means to be bought back and be placed back in the position God designed you for. Reject everything that tells you that you’re not good, because that’s not your redeemed status.

Liaquat Qaiser (PAKISTAN)

“I found my identity in Christ!”

Antoneal, born in Saint Martin in the Caribbean, visits the Maasbach Radio studio to encourage you with his testimony.

Antoneal came to church as a teenager and was baptized there, but he admits that he was standing in the church with one leg and in the world with the other. He looked for his identity and purpose in people and places, but couldn’t find it. One night he was dancing in a club when he had an encounter with God:

“It might sound cliché but in that moment I looked up and I got a Word from God. He told me: ‘What are you doing here? This is not where you’re supposed to be.”

Antoneal decided to dedicate his life to Jesus and that’s where he found his identity and purpose! Isn’t that wonderful? Be encouraged as you hear how God can change a life and claim it for His glory and receive the faith you need to pray for your children or grandchildren that have left the way of the Lord. Jesus is the Miracle Worker!

Artist Watch: Tauren Wells’ ‘Citizen of Heaven’

For years, Tauren Wells has been a well-known brand in the Contemporary Christian Music world. During his career as Royal Tailor’s frontman, he definitely raised the bar for Christian pop music. Luckily his musical career didn’t end after Royal Tailor disbanded in 2015. Tauren Wells has now released his latest album “Citizen of Heaven’ after having released several EPs and his first solo album ‘Hills and Valleys.’ Can he make waves again with his newest album, just like in his Royal Tailor days?

Tauren Wells was a founding member of Royal Tailor along with DJ Cox and Blake Hubbard While they were attending Indiana Bible College. In the 11 years that the band existed, they had many successes with multiple Grammy and Dove Awards nominations. However, Tauren Wells decided to prolong a solo singing career after this successful period in his life.

In 2016, he was signed by Provident Label Group, where he immediately showed his musical diversity by introducing more electronic influences in his music. It all led to his maxi single “Hills and Valleys’ in 2017, which peaked no. 3 on the Hot Christian Songs chart. He even won a Dove Award for being the best new artist of 2017 with it! Many Grammy and Dove Awards nominations followed after that, and he has now released his next big album with the name ‘Citizen of Heaven.’

This album is yet again filled with fresh-sounding pop songs with a great Christian message like ‘Close’ and ‘Millionaire.’ This new album is filled with songs to get you smiling and awesome collabs with music legends like Kirk Franklin, Rascal Flatts, and many more. Is this album an instant classic? Perhaps! Listen to Tauren Wells on Maasbach Radio and check out his newest album on Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube.

Colton Dixon could be considered as one of the most exciting contemporary Christian pop artists in his generation. After his seventh place in the eleventh season of American Idol, his musical career really took off and he became a successful Christian artist.

Free Prayer Calender

CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR YOUR FREE PRAYER CALENDER!

Prayer is one of the most easy things we can do. A child, an uneducated person or an illiterate: everyone can pray. On the other hand: those who walk with God for many years already and have a strong prayer life will say that prayer is one of the most difficult things.

People say that having a need will teach you to pray. But let Jesus be the One teaching us to pray! Then God will manifest His power on earth through our prayer life. According to Biblical example we want to call you to boldly ask God for BIG things. A boldness and prayer given to you by Jesus.

Pray and ask Him for nations and peoples. Ask Him to save the world. Let Jesus lead you to stand in the gap for a country. Start praying, calling, begging and speak salvation, deliverance and healing in Jesus’ mighty name!

Artist Watch: Maasbach Worship’s ‘Vuur en Vlam’

Maasbach Worship is a Dutch worship band that consists of musicians from the Blessing Churches in the Netherlands. The band is led by worship leaders Jesselyn Afriyie and Micha Maasbach who also wrote the vast majority of the songs that the band has released in the last years. Their newest album ‘Vuur en Vlam’, translated ‘Fire and Flame’ is definitely a “hot” addition to their great discography. Pun intended!

This album’s title: ‘Vuur en Vlam’ comes from a central sermon theme of The Blessing Churches’ lead pastor David Maasbach. “Being on fire for Jesus means that we are so filled with the Spirit of God, that we will do all things in life with Him and for Him.”

The title song ‘Vuur en Vlam’ of this album resonates with this powerful stance for the Netherlands, the home country of the worship band. The song calls for a conversion of the people of Holland. However, at the same time, the song is also a declaration of the current work of the Holy Spirit throughout the Netherlands.

Maasbach Worship’s newest album contains many more songs with a powerful message while bringing their contemporary and refreshing worship sound. Listen to Maasbach Worship’s newest album “Vuur en Vlam” on iTunes, Spotify and Maasbach Radio.

Thanksgiving season

We want to challenge our listeners this thanksgiving, to focus on He who has given us tremendous reason to be grateful. So while you prepare for the festivities of all that November through to December will bring, let us all consciously and intentionally make every effort to celebrate with our friends and loved ones keeping the focus on Jesus.

Colossians 3:16-17 : Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts. And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.

Thanks and praise go hand in hand. So while you are giving thanks for what is, we’re sure each person reading this is in need of something. Maybe you need a financial miracle, perhaps you may be having marital issues, or even you are on the hunt for a job. Whatever it is, the atmosphere and climate are just right for a miracle. We believe that God is going to meet you at your point of need this season. Change is about to hit you, and the blessing that you are about to experience, your storehouses will be unable contain.

So, whatever you do, or however you feel, or whichever circumstance may come your way, Praise Him!

Happy Thanksgiving from The Blessing Family Music Station.

Love on others during the holidays!

The holiday season is a time of joy and love, but for some it can be a lonely season. Why not show some love and compassion to those around you!

• How do I receive compassion for others? By Dr. Ladonna Osborn

Here are some ideas on how you can love on others during this holiday season:

1. Get crafty and personable with your presents.

Instead of pushing and suffering through the big crowds at the mall, get crafty with your gift-giving and give your loved ones something they’re sure to cherish for years to come. You’ll be excited to give it to them and they’ll feel overwhelmed with love and joy when they open it.

2. Send cards to extended family and distant friends.

It isn’t always possible to have that face-to-face interaction with those we love—especially distant relatives and old friends that have moved away. Thankfully, though, there’s an easy solution: send them fun holiday cards! You can even include a meaningful letter or note inside that warms their core when they read it.

3. Arrange a secret Santa exchange at work.

Whoever invented Secret Santa is a genius—it cuts back on time and money, while also maximizing the fun that is gift-giving! Go ahead, what are you waiting for? Talk to your coworkers and plan the details. This fun game will provide laughs and love aplenty.

4. Invite a lonely friend over for Christmas dinner.

Not all of us are fortunate enough to spend Christmas with family—but no one should spend it alone. Consider inviting a friend or coworker that’s new to town over for the holidays. They’d surely love some company and appreciate the invitation for years to come.

5. Donate blankets and food to the homeless.

The truth is that the holidays aren’t the “greatest time of year” for everybody. In fact, it’s the most difficult time of year for some. Help make it a little brighter by showing the homeless some love—take them some blankets and food to enjoy this season.

6. Tell all of your loved ones that you—well—love them.

Oxytocin, or the “love hormone”, is a neurotransmitter released during social interaction: hugging, kissing, or simply bonding. It’s also a big part of the reason interacting with others is so beneficial to our health. So, don’t wait another minute—go show your loved ones some love. Hug ‘em, kiss ‘em, whatever you deem fit!

More about the message:
A man named Jairus, came and fell at Jesus’ feet, pleading with Him to come to his house because his only daughter, was dying. As Jesus was on His way, someone of the ruler’s house came and told them that Jairus’ daughter was dead. Hearing this, Jesus said to Jairus, “fear not: believe only, and she shall be made whole.” The devil knows when to come around to cause fear to come up in to your heart to doubt the promise of God and to tell you it’s too late to receive a miracle. But God has already provided for you, all you have to do is reach out and take it, and He will give you the desire of your heart.

The nuggets of the gospel

The gospel is the good news of Jesus Christ and hasn’t lost it’s power since the day Jesus rose from the grave! Apostle David Juma from Nairobi, Kenya, shares the ‘nuggets of the Gospel’ with us on Maasbach Radio, taken from Romans 1:1-6:

Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus, called to be an apostle and set apart for the gospel of God— 2 the gospel he promised beforehand through his prophets in the Holy Scriptures 3 regarding his Son, who as to his earthly life was a descendant of David, 4 and who through the Spirit of holiness was appointed the Son of God in power by his resurrection from the dead: Jesus Christ our Lord. 5 Through him we received grace and apostleship to call all the Gentiles to the obedience that comes from faith for his name’s sake. 6 And you also are among those Gentiles who are called to belong to Jesus Christ.

Listen to Apostle David Juma from the Maasbach Radio studio as he talks about the effect of the gospel on our lives: it calls us to serve God!

• Faith Injection by apostle D. Juma: The call of God

This weekend, apostle David elaborates on the subject of the call of God while sharing his own testimony. He shares how he gave his heart to Jesus and how God started using him from an early age. Be encouraged by a special prayer from the Maasbach Radio studio by apostle David Juma on saturday and sunday, on the half hour.

Artist Watch: Rhett Walker

Rhett Walker is the lead singer of the well-known Christian Southern rock formation ‘Rhett Walker Band.’ Since a few years, they’ve been releasing their music under Rhett Walker’s own name and with much success. His latest single “Believer” is now trending in the Christian Charts. How did it all start for the band and why did they release this single?

Rhett Walker Band was founded in 2011 and is fronted by Rhett Walker who handles most of the vocals and songwriting. Together with Kenny Davis as their drummer, guitarist Joe Kane, and Kevin Whitsett on the bass, he released his debut album in 2012 ‘Come to the River.’ This album proved to be an immense success and even landed in the top 10 of the Billboard Christian Album Chart.

The success of the band proved to be huge with multiple Dove awards and even one Grammy nomination. Over the years they’ve released multiple singles that scored fairly well in the charts. However, the band decided to change their formula in 2018 by focusing more on Rhett Walker as the main vocalist of the band. This resulted in the release of ‘Believer,’ their latest hit.

Rhett walker beautifully describes his reason why he wrote this song. “ I wrote this song to combat the daily struggles and thoughts of ‘I’m just not good enough,’ because we serve a God as a believer that says ‘Yes, you can’t be good enough, but I sent my son to die on the cross and pay the ultimate sacrifice so that way your foundation can be freedom.”

‘Believer’ is a powerful pop-rock song that can definitely spice up your playlist. Listen to ‘Believer’ on Maasbach Radio, Spotify and iTunes.

When you feel unworthy…

This week we have a special girl visiting us at Maasbach Radio.

Her name is Justyna and she is from Poland. Justyna wants to share with you about the time that she felt unworthy and insecure. Then, Jesus met with her and after saying a special prayer, God changed the way Justyna felt about herself.

Are you struggling with the way you see yourself? Do you feel like a failure? Do you feel unloved? Make no mistake: Jesus loves you so much more than you can ever imagine. Be encouraged by Justyna’s story on Maasbach Radio. She will also pray a special prayer for you to feel relieved from these negative thoughts.

Remember:

You are loved (Romans 5:8)
You are strong (Philippians 4:13)
You are wonderfully made (Psalm 139:13-14)
You are covered with grace (Hebrews 4:16)
You are called (Romans 8:30)
You are confident (Hebrews 13:6)

Artist Watch: Avalon

Avalon is definitely one of the household names if you’re a seasoned contemporary Christian music listener. This American vocal quartet dominated Christian music charts from the late 90s till the early 00s with hits like “Adonai,” “Testify to Love,” and “Can’t Live a Day.” Avalon has now released a new single after an absence of more than a decade. Is this a musical revival of the once-legendary Christian vocal group?

Avalon’s track record even dates back to the mid-90s. Norman Miller of Proper Management proposed his idea of a highly skilled vocal group, consisting of two male and two female vocalists to Grant Cunningham, who was the A&R Director at Sparrow Records at that time. Initially, the idea didn’t result in the formation of a compelling sounding group, but Cunningham didn’t abandon the ‘Avalon’ project entirely.

In 1995, Cunningham visited an artist showcase in Nashville. Quite unexpectedly Michael Passons caught his attention. He would later become the first of the group’s founding members. The group changed over time on multiple occasions, but the concept of two male and two female gospel vocalists that could sing very tight harmonies stayed the same. The group did win multiple Dove awards and was even nominated for multiple Grammys over time.

The latest members of Avalon have now returned with the single “Keeper of my Heart” after a decade of absence in the music industry. The song has a very contemporary sound that fits today’s standards but still adds enough nostalgic elements to remind us all why we loved Avalon’s music. Listen to Avalon’s “Keeper of My Heart” on Maasbach Radio, Spotify and iTunes.

That will surely set us free and help us with all challenges in our lives.

Pastor Joseph Okoko’s Story (Congo)

Pastor Joseph finds a lot of common ground in the story of Joseph other than their first names. Listen to pastor Joseph talk about the ‘new Joseph generation’ by clicking the play button below:

• Interview with pastor Joseph: ‘The New Joseph Generation’

Pastor Joseph points out some characteristics of Joseph in the Bible and how they relate to the new Joseph generation:

1. Joseph came to take away the shame of his mother. Rachel was barren and unable to bear fruit until she have birth to Joseph. Spiritually, there are a lot of churches and ministries that are barren and without fruit. The new Joseph generation is a generation that can take away the shame of the church and of ministries all around, by being a fruitful generation.

2. After Joseph came Benjamin. The new Joseph generation comes to continue, to add and to move forward in the promises of God. A generation that will allow God to ‘add another son’.

3. Like Joseph, this generation will be big dreamers! Capable to dream and see visions (Genesis 37:5). People can put a stop to just about anything, but they can’t stop you from dreaming.

4. Joseph was given a high position is the house of Potifar, but he still wanted to remaine pure and holy. When the wife of Potifar wanted to sleep with him, Joseph ran away. The new Joseph generation is a generation that sanctifies themselves and is aware of the grace of God yet does not take advantage of it!

5. Joseph is a symbol, a type of Jesus. This generation will also be one of people that are longing to be Christ-like. A people that are longing to save others from famine (symbolically) and a generation that forgives.

Pastor Joseph was born in Congo and grew up during the war. A lot of people used to tell Joseph that Jesus loved him, but he always wondered: “Who is Jesus?!”. When Joseph got to know Jesus, he realized he couldn’t do anything without Him. This ultimate dependence on God led to an incredible manifestation of God in Joseph’s life with even seeing dead raised to life. Listen to pastor Joseph’s incredible story on Maasbach Radio this weekend, on the half hour.

Artist Watch: Lauren Daigle’s Spontaneous Worship Moment

Lauren Daigle’s record-breaking album ‘Look Up Child’ celebrates it’s 1-year anniversary this week and it’s still going strong. In the last year, the album has won multiple Grammys and Billboard awards. This resulted in media appearances for Lauren Daigle at the biggest television shows in the United States. It also sparked the fuel for a successful world tour for the just 27-year old singer.

At the beginning of her musical career, it was already clear that Lauren Daigle could become a “once in a generation” recording artist. Her debut album “How Can It Be” already debuted at no. 1 on the Billboard Christian Albums Chart. The real question was: ‘what more was there to achieve?’ That question was answered one year later by becoming the highest-charting woman of her generation with a Christian album on the Billboard 200. That is what she achieved with her 2018 album “Look Up Child.”

It resulted in multiple Grammys, Billboard awards, and Dove awards. Furthermore, it resulted in a well-visited world tour. Lauren Daigle managed to attract mainstream and even secular media attention and listeners to her album, which is quite rare for Christian album releases. Even if she received some criticism for engaging with other media outlets than solely the Christian ones, she never forgot the Lord.

In a recent video on her Instagram, she shared a spontaneous moment of worship during her tour, which surprised and delighted many of her fans. It was truly a powerful moment that defines one of the most popular Christian artists of today. Listen to “Lauren Daigle” on Maasbach Radio, iTunes and Spotify.

More about the message:
Why do we have to die? It’s because of disobedience through the sin that came in to the world. But Jesus came that we may have life and have it more abundantly. We don’t have to work for our salvation, all we have to do is believe it and receive it through the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross of Calvary.

“Jesus restored my life”

Marilyn from the Netherlands joins Maasbach Radio to talk about how God has been working in her life. She wants to encourage you today!

• “God gave me more time so I can give it back to Him”

In her younger years, Marilyn chose to follow Jesus and got baptized. On this weekend’s SHARE YOUR STORY, Marilyn shares how she got into a relationship that resulted in her being a single mom. Shame kept her from running back to Jesus, but once she did, Jesus completely restored her life. Marilyn is praying for you to experience this transforming power of God as well. Join us in prayer on saturday and sunday on Maasbach Radio!

Artist Watch: Zach Williams

Zach Williams is one of the most popular Christian male vocalists in the music industry today. In just a few years God turned the life from this former lead singer of a worldly rock band upside down to serve Him. Zach Williams’ newfound musical passion has been proven to be very successful with two Dove Awards and one Grammy Award. He has recently released his newest single ‘Rescue Story,’ which tells his beautiful story on how Jesus found and freed him.

 Zach Williams grew up in a pretty stable household in Jonesboro, Arkansas. His father was a worship leader and guitar player at their local church and both of his parents raised him in a home of Christianity, love, and safety. Zach focused on basketball in this period of his life. He turned out to be quite a talent and was scouted by colleges all over the state to grant him full scholarships. This success led to an increase in the use of drugs and alcohol in his life, which eventually led to losing everything he had been working for up to now.

It was at this low point of his life that Zach started to get back into music. After college, he moved back home but pursued the lifestyle of a worldly rock star with tours across America and Europe. His excessive use of drugs and alcohol continued but came to a stop when one of his band members started to attend a church. Zach and his wife joined his band member in the church and this is when God started to turn his life around. He was completely set free from his drug and alcohol addiction and became very involved in the Christian music ministry.

His song ‘Chain Breaker’ in 2017 strung a very touching chord in many hearts, and it definitely established Zach Williams as one of the most influential Christian male vocalists of today. Since then, many of his releases held top spots in the Christian music charts and were nominated for prestigious music awards.

Zach Williams has now released his new single ‘Rescue Story,’ which powerfully reflects on Jesus’ sacrifice to rescue us all, no matter how lost we are. Listen now to ‘Rescue Story’ on Maasbach Radio, Spotify and iTunes.

More about the message:
There are still people today, that say you can be a better Christian by keeping the law. But nobody could keep the law. That’s why God sent Jesus Christ into this world, so that we can be liberated, set free and be redeemed from the curse of the law. To come into the family of God and to make heaven your home, you must be born again.
