Performance Vs Existence - Pastor Ekpenyong

Ecclesiastes 4:9-10NIV "Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor: If either of them falls down, one can help the other up. But pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up."

Too often we don’t take encouragement as seriously as we should. 

However, we love it when someone tells us that what we said or did made a difference in their lives.

Do you know that one way to live and operate at your highest potential is by receiving a steady dose of encouragement?

Imagine what that would mean in your community if encouraging eachother becomes a regular feature.

That’s why the enemy constantly works to isolate us, deceive us, and discourage us. He wants to take our courage and subtract from what God is doing in our lives. 

I’ve seen people get so down and discouraged that they can’t even think straight, let alone stand against the enemy.

You know those times when the enemy has gotten in and is living rent free in your mind. He tells you that you’re not good enough, you can’t do it, you’ll never get well, and you may as well quit trying. However, when you have people around you who stand with you and encourage you and lift you, you will rise up and defeat the enemy together.

Because of this, encourage the hearts of your fellow believers and support one another, just as you have already been doing. (1Thess.5:11TPT).

The word, the note, the look that says, "I am with you. I care about you. You will survive. You can do it!" We cannot measure how many significant historical advances have been made because another “someone” was behind the achiever encouraging them.

Ask God to give you someone today to encourage in a meaningful way. Your positive words can bring light into dark situations and refresh spirits to withstand the storms of life.

You're loved and BLESSED!
