Tell Your Story - Pastor Ekpenyong

 

John 4:29tpt “Come and meet a man at the well who told me everything I’ve ever done! He could be the One we’ve been waiting for.” 

Everybody has a story and you’ll be amazed at how the dots connect with hindsight.

We all wish to have perfect stories because of our desire to present the best version of ourselves. However, people don’t believe perfect stories because they know their imperfections are more real to them than anything else.

Therefore, be willing to tell your story as it is; because people will connect with your honest narrative than with a larger than life make-belief.

The context of our opening scripture is the Samaritan woman who came into the city where she was a loner and used to being abandoned; she rushed to tell her fellow Samaritans about a Man Who told her everything about her life which was obviously unhappy. The whole city came to Jesus because of her story.

Never underestimate the power of YOUR story. The courage it takes to share your story might be the very thing someone else needs to open their heart to hope.

Many people are ashamed to tell their stories because of the impression people will have of them afterwards but you’ll be surprised at how God uses your story to draw people to Himself and they’ll even have deeper revelations of the Father’s love for them.

Use your story as a bridge and currency to make great connections and transactions for the advancement of the kingdom.

Glory!
