God's Recipe For Wellness - Emaobong Ekpenyong

3 John 2 TPT

Beloved friend, I pray that you are prospering in every way and that you continually enjoy good health, just as your soul is prospering.

God wants us to live in health, so He gave us a guide book for life called the Bible.

Through the Bible, God sends us messages that tell us to be happy. Why, you ask?

Happiness does good like medicine. Basically, it does everything that medicine does; it relieves pain, cures diseases and helps to give the body vital nutrients. God wants us to be happy.

In order to stay happy, we need to trust God always and not let problems weigh us down. We ought to forgive easily and remember the good He has done in the past.

Secondly, the Bible says in Proverbs 4:20-22 that God's word is life and health to those who find them. 

Therefore, we should always read, confess and meditate on the word. As we do this, it gives vitality to our body and mind.

Glory!

The Same Stock - Pastor Ekpenyong

Mark 7:37Weymouth 

“The amazement was extreme.”He succeeds in everything he attempts," they exclaimed; "he even makes deaf men hear and dumb men speak!"”

One big lie that the devil has sponsored through the ages and that has been accepted by Christians is that there is a difference between Christ Jesus and Christ in you.

It is on this premise that you find it easier for believers to relate with the woman with the issue of blood who needed to touch the helm of Jesus’ garment than for them to see themselves as one with the One who had His garment touched.

Until you absorb the truth in the scriptures that we are one spirit with the LORD, that as He is so are we in this world, you will perpetually find yourself at loggerheads with us being of the same stock as Him.

The essence of our opening text is not so that we would marvel as did the Jews, but that we see that that account applies also to us today. “we succeed in everything we attempt.”

Accepting this truth will change the way and manner you see and talk about yourself and will change the outcomes of your endeavours; for in truth we are of the same stock.

Glory!

What Are You Waiting For - Pastor Ekpenyong

Exodus 8:9-10TLB

“Be so kind as to tell me when you want them to go,” Moses said, “and I will pray that the frogs will die at the time you specify, everywhere except in the river.”“Do it tomorrow,” Pharaoh said. “All right,” Moses replied, “it shall be as you have said; then you will know that there is no one like the Lord our God."

A person could be so overwhelmed by a challenge that there may be no possibility of change in sight, at least not in the present, which makes people hope that someday-sometime God in His infinite mercy may cause a change.

As noble as this thought, it is rife with unbelief because what we are hoping for in the future can be delivered to you now.

Do you really want to get well, or do you just want to talk about your problem? Sometimes people get addicted to having a problem. It becomes their identity, their life. It defines everything they think and say and do. All their being is centered around that particular problem.

The context of our opening scripture shows Pharaoh besieging Moses to intercede on their behalf that the frogs that God had plagued Egypt with be evacuated and Moses asked when he wanted it done and Pharaoh said tomorrow.

Who wants to live with a plague for one more night?

But that’s what happens when we choose to tolerate the mess of the devil hoping that someday God will do something; when He’s done all and given us the authority to function in His name.

Faith is now and insists on taking the delivery of all that’s in the package of the new birth now.

Decide to walk in victory now and you’ll see that the devil cannot resist you.

Glory!

See How Kind He Is - Pastor Ekpenyong

Psalms 34:8TPT 

"Drink deeply of the pleasures of this God. Experience for yourself the joyous mercies he gives to all who turn to hide themselves in him."

Our Father is good and irreversibly so. This implies His personal involvement and commitment to us is beyond the rule of law.

Unfortunately, many are judging our Good Father based on their experiences and what someone told them about their Heavenly Father. When it is our responsibility to find out from all He's revealed in His word and be persuaded by same.

What we must realise and always remember is that our Father’s goodness dates way back even before each of us was born. 

Therefore, it never really should be a question of whether He will do good but about how well we are persuaded about His goodness.

Choose to believe in His goodness, His commitment to you and His faithfulness to fulfil His Word to you.

You will never be overcome by the challenges of life because our faithful Father has assured that He will never give you more than we can bear nor leave you to yourself. 

Refuse to be pressured into anxiety, fear and doubt because the Father in His characteristic nature will never leave nor abandon you; regardless of where you are and the stage of your journey. 

Give Him a chance to show you how good He is. Do you not know that it is the fulfillment of the Father to bring you blessings?”

Glory!
