Fill Your Life With Good - Pastor Ekpenyong

 

1Peter 3:10MSG “Whoever wants to embrace life and see the day fill up with good, Here's what you do: Say nothing evil or hurtful.”

It’s really wonderful that a road map for the kind of life we desire has been plainly stated in the word so that it only takes accepting and believing what we see in the word to walk in the reality of God’s intention for us.

Life is calibrated in days, therefore to fill your days and life with good you must rule your speech; say nothing evil or hurtful.

To say nothing hurtful or evil will mean that how you talk to and about people will be with honour and courtesy. Quit saying things about people that portrays them in bad light to others. Don’t take delight in breaking their spirit with your words.  

Nobody ever thought that how you talk to people will have a direct effect on your life and day but think of the many misunderstandings, separations and troubles of our lives that have come out of hasty, unwise, unkind and hurtful talk.

When you say evil and hurtful things to others, you are invariably hurting yourself. 

Watch the way you talk and consider each word you utter as a gift both to the one who’s listening and most especially to yourself. 

Glory!

Mustard Seed Faith - Pastor Ekpenyong

 

Matthew 17:20amp “He said to them, Because of the littleness of your faith [that is, your lack of firmly relying trust]. For truly I say to you, if you have faith [that is living] like a grain of mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, Move from here to yonder place, and it will move; and nothing will be impossible to you.”

With faith as a grain of mustard seed you can say to a mountain to move and it will. These are the red lettered words of our LORD Jesus Himself. There’s no comparison to a mountain and a mustard seed in the natural. However, mustard seed faith will move a mountain to yonder place.

Jesus didn’t call faith small, don’t also call your seed small. It is born of God and overcomes the world.

Don’t call yourself small. When God has chosen to use something, don’t call it small. It has the potential of Christ.

You don’t call your seed small because when you make room for it, it is endless. It is a generation.

This is why we refuse the appellation of a small church. We’re a growing church with limitless opportunities in Christ.

You release faith by speaking and taking corresponding actions for nothing is impossible to you. 

Glory!

Resolving Signs of Conflict - Pastor Ekpenyong

2 Peter 1:19 Weymouth “And in the written word of prophecy we have something more permanent; to which you do well to pay attention--as to a lamp shining in a dimly-lighted place--until day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts.”

Every one of us is faced with situations where there is a sharp conflict between the promise of God to us and our experiences. These conflicts are so contradictory that they sometimes leave us speechless and unsure.

However, those lowest points of your vulnerability are the most suitable for you to keep the word of promise in focus and speak in agreement with it rather than keeping quiet or going to sleep.

You should ask the LORD for His word of promise over the situation in the event you don’t have one and keep confessing it until there is a note of victory in your heart; that point where you know that you know that you know that the matter is settled.

It is at this point that the day dawns and the morning star arises in your heart guaranteeing and fast tracking the delivery of your desire.

Don’t stop talking and speaking your rhema, for it is your bridge over time lapses and signs that fuel these conflicts. 

Glory!

The Refreshing With Rest - Pastor Ekpenyong

 

Matthew 11:28WUEST “Come here to me, all who are growing weary to the point of exhaustion, and who have been loaded with burdens and are bending beneath their weight, and I alone will cause you to cease from your labor and take away your burdens and thus refresh you with rest.”

The exhaustion and stress level in today’s world is so widespread that it has become the reality of so many and unfortunately even the believer. 

Many have thrown in the towel surrendering to defeat and given up in despair for lack of knowing what to do in the face of unnerving and death dealing challenges. Oh the turmoil of the unyielded soul and the ignorant believer in these frustrating times.

Our opening text is the great invitation of our Father who loves us and cares even about the minutest detail in our lives. It is this love that obliges Him to call us to prayer.

For it is in the place of prayer that we exchange our cares and burdens for His comfort and peace.

The believer, who refuses this invitation for whatever reasons, has been robbed of the satisfaction and delight His presence ever so guarantees. He even assures to refresh us with rest. 

Glory!
