The Supplies Of The Spirit - Pastor Ekpenyong

Galatians 3:57amp 

Then does He Who supplies you with His marvelous [Holy] Spirit and works powerfully and miraculously among you do so on [the grounds of your doing] what the Law demands, or because of your believing in and adhering to and trusting in and relying on the message that you heard?

The busyness of life and its vicissitudes has the propensity to put us constantly under pressure and make us feel grossly inadequate.

However, we have been abundantly provided for and covered on all sides; this is how the believer must view his affairs.

For many, they are burdened by the demands of life; bills, debts, obligations and so on when they should be free because of the supplies He so abundantly provides.

The law was all about demand but in Christ it’s all about supply.

Our opening text shows us that by the hearing of faith our consciousness of the supplies of the Spirit and the workings of His power is enabled.

For God is willing and able to grant unto you every blessing in abundance, so that richly enjoying all abundance at all times, you may have ample means for all good works. Halleluyah!

The LORD being our Shepherd guarantees that we do not want for money, opportunities, sleep, or any good thing. 

Glory!

Live Your Life - Pastor Ekpenyong

Ephesians 5:15-16CEV 

Act like people with good sense and not like fools. These are evil times, so make every minute count.

Your life is a combination of every day, week, month and year until the moment you depart from the earth. It therefore means that you are already living.

As obvious as this is, lots of persons have suspended their lives and are waiting for a special event to kickstart their lives.

Living is your choice, not what was put on you. How you exercise your choice to live daily is entirely up to you.

The success of life is not in how spectacular the events of your life are but in how you conduct yourself in the seeming ordinary days.

It turns out that in a person's lifetime, the ordinary days are way more than the spectacular days. In choosing to take care of the minute details, the whole become more colourful.

Quit regretting about yesterday.

Quit fretting about tomorrow.

Seize today and give it your best because the story of your life is being written in your every moment.

Your life will become relevant and purposeful when you take today serious and pour your all into it.

Glory!

Your Role In The Marketplace - Pastor Ekpenyong

2 Corinthians 10:13 AMP

We, on the other hand, will not boast beyond our legitimate province and proper limit, but will keep within the limits [of our commission which] God has allotted us as our measuring line and which reaches and includes even you.

2 Corinthians 10:13 Weymouth

“We, however, will not exceed due limits in our boasting, but will keep within the limits of the sphere which God has assigned to us as a limit, which reaches even to you.”

Most people are not quite sure what the limit of their sphere is, their area of God-given influence, so they attempt to operate outside their gifting or feel condemned because they’re making a lot of money.

The concept in the minds of so many believers today is that to be used of God, it has to be within the confines of the four walls of a facility housing believers, which is quite erroneous.

That’s the reason many marketplace Christians feel like second-class citizens when compared to people who serve full-time in a church or missionary context.

It is imperative that you realize that it is not only okay to do ministry in the marketplace, but God can explicitly call you and anoint you for it.

Many Christians in the marketplace sense the call of God on their lives and know that their ministry and occupation are somehow connected even though they cannot exactly comprehend how.

This is why there is always a desire to replace the setting from a secular one to a spiritual when what should have been was to see that platform as the LORD’S field.

It does not matter where you find yourself in the marketplace today.

What is important is that you embrace your calling to transform that place by using the power God has made available to you. 

Glory!

Maintain Your Joy - Pastor Ekpenyong

Acts 20:24amp

But none of these things move me, nor do I count my life dear to myself, so that I may finish my race with joy, and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of the grace of God.

It is important you reach your divine destination in life. However, it is equally important you reach your destination with joy.

Stir up your joy for it is your strength when things aren't going as you thought.

I saw an anonymous quote: "a truly happy person is one who can enjoy the scenery while on a detour."

Nehemiah said, "Go and enjoy choice food and sweet drinks, and send some to those who have nothing prepared. This day is holy to our Lord. Do not grieve, for the joy of the LORD is your strength."

Sing and make melody in your heart unto the LORD that you have been counted worthy of His calling and partnership.

God has prepared a plan for your life, let this hope burst forth within you, releasing a continual joy. Don’t give up in a time of trouble, rather commune with Him at all times.

Days of preparation are never lost time. There may be important lessons or truths that you still need to learn in order to successfully fulfill God’s plan for you. And it takes time to prepare and establish yourself in God’s Word.

So ensure that nothing tampers with your joy as you birth the desires of the Father for you. 

Glory!
