The One Thing That's Needful
I’m Dr. Siohvaughn Funches, and I’m honored once again to be your host and to share with you the Word that God first shared with me. In this episode, I continue in our powerful series titled “God Has Not Changed His Mind.” Together, we’re diving into Numbers 23:19, where we’re reminded that God is not a man—He doesn’t lie, and He doesn’t change His mind. This message is so personal to me because I know what it’s like to receive a promise from God with joy and excitement—only to be met with waiting, discouragement, and even persecution. But I’m here to encourage...

In today’s episode, Dr. Siohvaughn Funches continues this series and delves into the topic of No More Condemnation. Dr. Funches stresses the importance of seeing this truth in the Word of God and of letting God establish it and settle it in our hearts. We have been made righteous by the blood of Jesus. God does not condemn us and we should not condemn ourselves. Dr. Funches shows in the Word of God that it was God’s idea to send Jesus. God loved us before Jesus went to the cross. God’s love came first. It is unconditional. God is love, no matter what we do or don’t do. God sent Jesus...

She encourages believers to stop judging themselves—or others—based on performance or external standards and instead receive the gift of righteousness that comes by faith in Jesus Christ.
This episode is a call to stop striving for approval through self-righteousness and to rest in the righteousness that God freely gives. Using David’s story, Dr. Funches paints a compelling picture of how even when man overlooks us—sometimes even those closest to us—God still appoints and anoints according to His purpose. If God chose David, the overlooked shepherd boy, He can and has chosen you.
Key Takeaways:
-
God’s standard is the heart: He does not judge by outward appearance (1 Samuel 16).
-
Self-righteousness is rejected: It's not about what you do or don’t do—true righteousness is a gift received by faith in Jesus.
-
You are already righteous: If you believe in Jesus, you are clothed in God’s own righteousness—nothing you do can add to that.
-
You may be overlooked by people—but not by God: Even David’s own father and brothers didn’t consider him, but God appointed him king.
-
Your calling is from God: Man may appoint leaders, but true spiritual authority and calling come from God Himself.
-
Don’t miss God: Even without external validation, remain faithful and confident in what God has said and shown you.
