Your Victory Costume - Pastor Ekpenyong

1 Corinthians 15:57CEV

“But thank God for letting our Lord Jesus Christ give us the victory!”

As believers in Christ, we are forever victorious and we always win. Your victory status cannot be changed or tampered with by any contrary situation or experience. It is a forever settled fact in Christ beyond the reach of change and decay. Halleluyah!

Praise is our standard clothing as are the fatigues of the military and causes us to be recognized in the spiritual and distinguished in the material world.

In our praise is the enemy’s confusion because the expected response of a weary person is complaint but when praise is the response, they are left confused because they wonder what happened at their best efforts to get the believer down.

In our praise is our overcoming, and this is so because we are celebrating the outcome as a settled matter in our favour.

Your praise as a costume mighty through God will level every mountain, cause every valley to be filled and move the hand of God in your favour.

Glory!

The New Rule - Pastor Ekpenyong

Galatians 6:15-16CEV

It doesn't matter if you are circumcised or not. All that matters is that you are a new person. If you follow this rule, you will belong to God's true people. God will treat you with undeserved kindness and will bless you with peace.

The revelation of the new creation is the greatest revelation the believer needs to be acquainted with, because it's the unveiling of what our loving Father did to fallen man to bring us into fellowship with Him by the substitutionary death of Jesus on the cross in our place.

Therefore, when you regulate your life by the rule of the new creation, your life becomes distinguished and marked by peace and an underserved kindness that causes the world to marvel.

Isaiah 32:17 The work of righteousness will be peace, And the effect of righteousness, quietness and assurance forever.

The way you measure any challenge before you is what determines whether you walk in victory or not. When you measure problems with respect to CHRIST IN YOU, situations will look different.

Giants look big when we measure ourselves by them in the flesh, but when we look at it from CHRIST IN ME perspective; they become just lifts or stair cases to higher levels of glory.

You ought to discipline and indoctrinate yourself by the rule of the new creation else you'll be a victim of the devil and the world.

Rise up in glory to the full stature of your calling as a son of God and manifest the godlife in all your affairs.

Glory!

Hearts Aligned In The Truth - Pastor Ekpenyong

Isaiah 29:13NLT 

And so the Lord says, "These people say they are mine. They honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. And their worship of me is  but man-made rules learned by rote.

There is a huge difference between a culture where obedience and compliance are the bottom line and a culture where relationship is the bottom line. The contrast is perhaps seen most clearly when people fall.

It is heart issues that lead to mistakes and until we learn to deal with what is going on inside of us, we simply cannot learn to manage freedom because God, the Father, is less interested in compliance and much more interested in love.

This is the reason that He is trying to prepare us to live absolutely free lives in an environment of unlimited options more than trying to keep us from sin. Halleluyah!

Our responses to circumstances will either be right or wrong, depending on the accuracy of our interpretation. If I try to change my response to circumstances just because I know it is the right response, while continuing to perceive things the same way, I will be in conflict with myself.

Let your heart therefore align with the Father’s perspective and desire so that your response to circumstances will not just be right because it is right to so do but because your interpretation is consistent with the Father’s will.

Our inner conflicts are quickly resolved not because our responses are always right but because our perspective aligns with the Father’s will.

Glory!

Refuse To Bow To Pressure - Pastor Ekpenyong

Hebrews 12:3TPT

“So consider carefully how Jesus faced such intense opposition from sinners who opposed their own souls, so that you won’t become worn down and cave in under life’s pressures.”

The beautiful thing about our walk of faith is that you are never alone in your quest no matter how long you’ve been there.

You must understand that you will be misunderstood and ridiculed when you choose to live by faith because the world is sense-ruled and hence considers your acts of faith insane.

For example how do you think those in Abraham and Sarah’s day reacted to them when they changed their names in response to the promise that they will have children as numerous as the sand on the seashore?

Jesus patiently endured and according to the Greek rendering of that word, it means to stay under.

He persevered under the intense pressure of ridicule and shame and was neither discouraged nor did He ever quit. Halleluyah!

It is therefore nothing new to be ridiculed because you believe and are acting on what God said to you that doesn’t make sense to anybody else.

Don’t get discouraged nor quit.

Glory!

Make A People United And Ready - Pastor Ekpenyong

Luke 1:17CEV 

"He will go ahead of the Lord with the same power and spirit that Elijah had. And because of John, parents will be more thoughtful of their children. And people who now disobey God will begin to think as they ought to. That is how John will get people ready for the Lord."

The mandate of Heaven upon us as a generation of believers is to make ready a people whose hearts have been turned to one another.

We will turn the hearts of fathers to their children because there must be a transfer of batons from one generation to the next; the transfer of the revelations of God; their experiences and testimonies.

We are in the season of the greatest spiritual awakenings in the history of mankind. Halleluyah!

I thank God that we are a part of this great move.

Families will be united in Christ and we will see whole communities, cities and nations saved.

The love of God flowing in our hearts like liquid fire is causing divisions to be cemented in such a way that there'll be no questioning or suspicion of intentions or sincerity.

The unpersuadable will be converted into the wisdom of the way of life of the righteous.

Never in the history of mankind has there been such a massive movement of the BLESSING and literal fulfillment of the Word of God.

All this will come to pass instead of a curse upon the earth.

Glory!
