Doing Church In Your Field - Pastor Ekpenyong

2 Corinthians 10:13Weymouth 
“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.”

Marketplace people played a vital role in the emergence, establishment and expansion of the Early Church.

A city cannot exist without a marketplace, in the same fashion that a body cannot live without a heart.

Early Christians made the marketplace the focal point of their ministry because their occupations regularly took them there. As they conducted their business, it was natural for them to present the gospel to the people they encountered.

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

When you understand that the LORD may be calling you to make that position the platform for ministry, there is a release of freedom and power for you to fulfill the call. The newfound freedom enables a free flow of God’s anointing to fall, and therefore enables you to be successful in your enterprise.

At least, 85 per cent of Christians are working in the marketplace, therefore, the marketplace should be the context in which our spiritual gifts should be used.

Each person actually can function in his spiritual gifts, leveraging on it for maximum impact. 

Glory!
