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!
