Urgent Help - Pastor Ekpenyong

Hebrews 4:16tpt “So now we draw near freely and boldly to where grace is enthroned, to receive mercy’s kiss and discover the grace we urgently need to strengthen us in our time of weakness.”

It is very important that you understand the concept of an activity being well-timed; it is when something is said or done at the most suitable time.

Therefore, it means that you are to repose your fearless trust in our Father’s judgment of the most suitable time and way to display His grace in your life.

This fearless confidence manifests in your composure and expectation.

Timings and seasons are determined from the throne of grace and for each of us. He knows what He is doing. He has it all planned out - plans to take care of you, not abandon you, plans to give you the future you hope for. Halleluyah!

However, His well-timed help will soothe your pain, fill your heart with joy and will always be rewarding.

Every need is covered in Him and even those urgent needs have grace apportioned for them.

This help keeps you buoyed and reinforced against the storms of life, so that you live free of fear of uncertainties.

Glory!

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!

Develop Spiritual Consciousness - Pastor Ekpenyong

1John 4:4 

“Ye are of God, little children and have overcome them: because greater is He that is in you, than he that is the world.”

One word that expresses what God is trying to develop in us is the word CONSCIOUSNESS.

Consciousness means “that which the soul KNOWS.

What you know and have proven, determine the basis of your confidence.

It is not that which you believe, hope for or have an existent faith for but that which the soul rests on; the thing which has become concrete in your life.

The God-inside consciousness grows as you spend time meditating on divine realities and truths especially as revealed in the letters of Paul to the churches.

Until you know beyond every shadow of doubt that in Christ, nothing good is withheld from you.

This means that Christ is the embodiment of all the powers and attributes of God and He is in you; therefore all the powers and attributes of God, all that makes Him God is in you. Hallelujah!

This is the consciousness you need and should cultivate which will put you over satan, his cohorts and the challenges in life you will ever face.

Glory!

Value The Blessing - Pastor Modupe

Philemon 1:6GNB 

My prayer is that our fellowship with you as believers will bring about a deeper understanding of every blessing which we have in our life in union with Christ.

Some time ago, my husband expressed his concern about not having sufficient T-shirts to wear indoors. Taking it upon myself, I carefully searched through the closet and discovered 7 T-shirts. When I presented them to him, he was genuinely surprised and expressed his gratitude.

This can be likened to our walk of faith. A number of times we feel we do not have the capacity to do certain things or that we do not know the right scripture to declare in a particular situation but that is not always the case.

Everything we need has been deposited in our heart, however, as life happens it seems we forget them. What happened to my husband was that he rarely goes through the closet, he does not wash or organize the closet himself because of his busy schedule so he picks the easiest to find even if it is right from the dryer.

When life’s circumstances push you to a corner, it’s the word that is in your consciousness that you’d easily recall; this is why we need to consistently take inventory of every good thing that is in us in Christ.

How, you may ask; by not treating God’s word to us as common. God’s word is living; there is no such thing like I know it, or I’ve read it before when it comes to spiritual knowledge.

We need to keep reading, listening and meditating; this is how we keep RHEMA at arm’s reach and walk in victory all the days of our lives.

Take seriously the word of truth which we preach; for in them are the words of life, wisdom and revelation of all that we are and have in Christ.

Glory!

Our Inestimable Heritage - Pastor Ekpenyong

1 Peter 1:4TPT 

We are reborn into a perfect inheritance that can never perish, never be defiled, and never diminish. It is promised and preserved forever in the heavenly realm for you!

It is so wonderful to know that despite the tricks and onslaught of the devil and his cohorts, they cannot do anything about your future.

The second implication of our opening text is that, this inheritance has your name on it because it is kept for you and is available now by faith, and will also be reserved in heaven for us when we pass from death to life.

Don’t ever be deceived into thinking that, somebody faster and smarter than you will take your inheritance as was the case with Jacob and Esau.

Nobody or situation can steal your inheritance away from you for it is reserved for you. Halleluyah!

Another reality about our heritage is that it does not diminish, meaning that it is inexhaustible and incorruptible.

This shows you the extent of our Father’s estimation of you and everything that concerns you.

Our heritage is inestimable that you ought to be overflowing in joy and praise with squared up shoulders and dancing in your steps because God’s estimation of you is higher than any honours you will ever be accorded by men.

Therefore, anytime you find yourself wondering what will become of you and your future; remind yourself that you have an inheritance that is not subject to destruction and decay or litigation because it has been reserved for you exclusively.

Glory!

Make A People United And Ready - Pastor Ekpenyong

Luke 1:17TPT 

He will go before the Lord as a forerunner, with the same power and anointing as Elijah the prophet. He will be instrumental in turning the hearts of the fathers in tenderness back to their children and the hearts of the disobedient back to the wisdom of their righteous fathers. And he will prepare a united people who are ready for the Lord’s appearing.”

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!

We Are Winning - Pastor Ekpenyong

2Corinthians 10:4msg 

“The tools of our trade aren't for marketing or manipulation, but they are for demolishing that entire massively corrupt culture.”

A lot of Christians are not convinced that their spiritual weapons are effective against satan, the corrupt culture and wickedness.

This is the reason you find them running from pillar to post looking for solutions in false and ungodly places.

Our weapons of warfare are mighty and effective through God, that is through God they are amplified, made strong and become mighty to tear down strong holds, reasonings and patterns.

As you renew your mind, the word of God in your mouth and the mention of the name of Jesus are so powerful that you would see such dramatic changes.

The devil has been on the prowl trying to get you to lose confidence in the name of Jesus and in the word of God.

But be reassured today that these weapons are so mighty; rise up in the authority of the name of Jesus using the weapons you have in God for that’s the only way you will satisfy yourself that what we are saying to you is true.

Glory!
