He explained that “Abba” is deeply connected to understanding the source of one’s life and one’s relationship with God. It is a powerful word meaning Father — not in a physical sense, but in a spiritual sense.

It refers to God as the true and ultimate Source of life. He emphasized that nothing exists without a source, and human beings themselves exist because they come from a source.

Pastor Gisanura reminded the congregation that a person is made up of three parts: the body, the soul, and the spirit. The body originates from earthly parents, which is why when a person dies, the body returns to the dust from which it came.

The spirit, he explained, returns to the Father who gave it — God Himself. Since the creation of the world, people have continued to be buried, yet the earth does not overflow, because the body becomes dust again and blends back into the soil.

Using the example of fish that die in the ocean, he illustrated that although fish die every day, their bones are rarely seen because they decompose and return to their source. This demonstrates the principle that everything with a source eventually returns to it.

Speaking about the soul, he explained that it is the seat of thoughts, intelligence, decisions, joy, and emotions. The soul also has a source.

He noted that anyone who teaches you something becomes like a parent in that area of knowledge. However, he emphasized that Jesus instructed us not to call anyone our spiritual father in the ultimate sense, because our true spiritual Father is God in heaven.

Pastor Gisanura taught that the word “Abba” reconnects us to our true Source, and where the Source is, blessings flow. He asked, “Can water come out of a tap without a source?” He stressed that prayer is the way we continually connect to God, who is the Source of our life and blessings.

He compared our relationship with God to pipelines through which blessings flow. He urged Christians to separate themselves from sin and rebellion, because when people choose their own will over God’s will, they block the flow of blessings.

Referring to Mark 14:34, he spoke about Jesus Christ, who experienced deep sorrow and anguish but prayed, “Not what I will, but what You will.” He explained that Jesus surrendered to the Father — Abba — and as a result, God sent an angel to strengthen Him.

Jesus suffered not only physically but also in His soul, knowing that He was about to redeem people, some of whom would reject Him. Yet because He remained connected to the Source, God strengthened Him to fulfill His mission.

Pastor Gisanura then asked, “Are you stronger than Jesus?” If Jesus sought strength from the Father, how much more should we seek strength from God in our difficult moments? He encouraged believers to pray earnestly, just as Jesus prayed intensely in His time of distress.

He also referenced the book of Revelation: “Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord, for their works follow them.” He challenged every Christian to reflect on the works that will follow them. Just as Jesus was accompanied by His works, believers must serve God faithfully so they can overcome life’s challenges.

Sharing a personal testimony, Pastor Gisanura recalled a moment when he prayed asking God to open the mouth of someone who used to pray loudly in tongues but had become silent. Immediately, that person began praying powerfully again, demonstrating how prayer and connection to God bring real answers in everyday life.

He concluded by referencing Romans 8:15: “For you did not receive a spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry, ‘Abba, Father.’” He emphasized that those who are no longer under bondage boldly cry out, “Abba, Father.”

This teaching followed the message of February 11, 2026, where Pastor Gisanura had explained that anyone who has Christ Jesus is a child of God. He reaffirmed that knowing who you are is the foundation for living in peace, free from fear, trusting your Heavenly Father, and remaining continually connected to the Source of your life — Abba.
