Grow Up Before Him - Pastor Ekpenyong

Isaiah 53:2NLT "My servant grew up in the Lord's presence like a tender green shoot, like a root in dry ground. There was nothing beautiful or majestic about His appearance, nothing to attract us to Him."

It is very important that you understand the nourishment you receive in the presence of our Father. All that you need to grow and flourish inspite of the external circumstances and pressures around is in His presence.

Just as all the nourishment a fish requires to survive and thrive is in water so all you need and require is in His presence. Halleluyah!

From our opening text, we see that though Jesus was a root out of dry, sterile ground, He was a tender plant because He grew up BEFORE HIM.

Learn to be conscious of His presence and practice His presence by talking to Him, worshipping and praising, relating with His word as Him talking to you everyday and you will grow in your consciousness of His presence. That way, you will bloom inspite of your environment or circumstances. 

You will find that your flourishing and radiant skin won't even be from the food you're eating. 

Miracles will become common place in this generation like never because of a people growing before Him. Glory!

Honour (The Bridge) - Pastor Ekpenyong

The word Honour in the Old Testament comes from the root word Kabod, which means to give weight to someone.

The New Testament expresses honour as Sense of esteem, value, preciousness.

It is an internal attitude of giving respect, courtesy and dignity to others and it is expressed by corresponding actions.

It empowers and validates people when we acknowledge their value. Honour is recognizing who a person is without stumbling over who he/she is not.

We must learn to celebrate the God in everyone and stop bothering about their weakness. God encourages Honouring throughout the Bible.

Honour is the bridge to your next level.

Romans 12:10 

BBE “Be kind to one another with a brother's love, putting others before yourselves in honour.”

ESV "Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honour."

Respect is what people earn. Therefore, it influences how we view them. 

Honour is what you give freely as a gift. Therefore, it influences how we treat them. Everybody is deserving of honour.

Value is shown in how we TREAT people.

Mark 6:30-34

30 Then the apostles gathered to Jesus and told Him all things, both what they had done and what they had taught. 

31 And He said to them, "Come aside by yourselves to a deserted place and rest a while." For there were many coming and going, and they did not even have time to eat. 

32 So they departed to a deserted place in the boat by themselves. 

33 But the multitudes saw them departing, and many knew Him and ran there on foot from all the cities. They arrived before them and came together to Him. 

34 And Jesus, when He came out, saw a great multitude and was moved with compassion for them, because they were like sheep not having a shepherd. So He began to teach them many things.

Honour is the opposite of shame.

Shame drives people away from community because it marks people as outcasts, unloved, and unvalued. 

Honour draws people into community.

Honour says I know everything about you and I love and value you.

Honour is the atmosphere in which the people of God become their best.

It is very important you discern and receive people in their God-given roles.

Matthew 10:41-42 AMP

41 He who receives and welcomes and accepts a prophet because he is a prophet shall receive a prophet's reward, and he who receives and welcomes and accepts a righteous man because he is a righteous man shall receive a righteous man's reward. 

42 And whoever gives to one of these little ones [in rank or influence] even a cup of cold water because he is My disciple, surely I declare to you, he shall not lose his reward.

Accurately discerning and acknowledging WHO people are will position us to give them what they deserve and to RECEIVE THE GIFT OF WHO THEY ARE IN OUR LIVES.

Discernment is key in honour.

Let's look at honour in different contexts:

Honour your parents:

Ephesians 6:2-3 

2 Honour your father and mother," which is the first commandment with promise: 

3 that it may be well with you and you may live long on the earth."

Honouring your parents involves four key actions:

Appreciate them: Celebrate them and be thankful for all they've done for you.

Accept their authority: Especially while you're under their care, recognize the authority God has given them. Even young Jesus willingly obeyed His parents. (Luke 2:51)

Treat them with respect: This involves what you say and how you say it.

Proverbs 30:17TLB  A man who mocks his father and despises his mother shall have his eye plucked out by ravens and eaten by vultures.

Provide for them: When your parents get old, they may need practical support. Try your best to make sure they have what they need.

1 Timothy 5:4 AMP

But if a widow has children or grandchildren, see to it that these are first made to understand that it is their religious duty [to defray their natural obligation to those] at home, and make return to their parents or grandparents [for all their care by contributing to their maintenance], for this is acceptable in the sight of God.

Honour the lowly:

Proverbs 19:17 TLB 

When you help the poor you are lending to the Lord and he pays wonderful interest on your loan!

Do you think if the little slave girl in Gen. Naaman's house didn’t feel honoured that she would have suggested that her boss go to Elijah for a cure? (2Kings 5:1-14)

Honour those in authority:

Romans 13:1-6

1.Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God. 

2. Therefore whoever resists the authority resists the ordinance of God, and those who resist will bring judgment on themselves. 

3. For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to evil. Do you want to be unafraid of the authority? Do what is good, and you will have praise from the same.

4. For he is God’s minister to you for good. But if you do evil, be afraid; for he does not bear the sword in vain; for he is God’s minister, an avenger to execute wrath on him who practices evil. 

5.Therefore you must be subject, not only because of wrath but also for conscience’ sake. 

6. For because of this you also pay taxes, for they are God’s ministers attending continually to this very thing.

1 Timothy 2:2 GW “for everyone who has authority over us. Pray for these people so that we can have a quiet and peaceful life always lived in a godly and reverent way.”

We honour those in authority so we may live quiet and peaceful lives. And so we may live godly and dignified in every way so that there will be orderliness and that the boundaries for our protection are intact.

Honour your bosses:

1 Timothy 6:1AMP “LET ALL who are under the yoke as bond servants esteem their own [personal] masters worthy of honour and fullest respect, so that the name of God and the teaching [about Him] may not be brought into disrepute and blasphemed.”

We honour our superiors in defense of the name of our LORD and that of our gospel.

Do you think if the Centurion's staff didn't honour him that he'll go out of his way to seek Jesus' intervention to have his staff healed? (Matthew 8:5-8)

Honour will bring you into spaces where your skills and competencies are so relevant.

Honour for marriage:

Hebrews 13:4AMP “Let marriage be held in honour (esteemed worthy, precious, of great price, and especially dear) in all things. And thus let the marriage bed be undefiled (kept undishonoured); for God will judge and punish the unchaste [all guilty of sexual vice] and adulterous.”

Honour for marriage is in two fold: for those in the union and then for those around the union.

It involves you intentionally recognizing the beauty and worth of your relationship with your spouse and then doing something to put that recognition into action.

It involves you as an observer intentionally recognizing the worth of the relationship between the couple and then doing something to support as well as not create room between them.

Honour for your spouse:

1 Peter 3:7GNT “In the same way you husbands must live with your wives with the proper understanding that they are more delicate than you. Treat them with respect, because they also will receive, together with you, God's gift of life. Do this so that nothing will interfere with your prayers.”

In honouring your spouse, your prayers are heard.

You're making yourself beautiful.

You're Sarah's daughter indeed. (1Peter 3:6)

You're doing good and not functioning in fear.

Honouring God:

1 Samuel 2:30 “…But now the Lord says: ‘Far be it from Me; for those who honour Me I will honour, and those who despise Me shall be lightly esteemed.”

The internal esteem and reverence which we should bear in our hearts towards Him.

Isaiah 29:13 MSG The Master said: "These people make a big show of saying the right thing, but their hearts aren't in it. Because they act like they're worshiping me but don't mean it”

HERE ARE FIVE WAYS THAT YOU CAN HONOUR GOD TODAY:

Honour God with your time -

Colossians 4:5 Be wise in the way you act toward outsiders; make the most of every opportunity.

Honour God with your body - 

1 Corinthians 6:19-20 CEV You surely know that your body is a temple where the Holy Spirit lives. The Spirit is in you and is a gift from God. You are no longer your own. God paid a great price for you. So use your body to honour God.

Honour God with your talents -

These are your God-given gifts and abilities.

Honour God with your resources -

Proverbs 3:9 MSG Honour GOD with everything you own; give him the first and the best.

Honour those He sent -

1 Thessalonians 2:13 AMP And we also [especially] thank God continually for this, that when you received the message of God [which you heard] from us, you welcomed it not as the word of [mere] men, but as it truly is, the Word of God, which is effectually at work in you who believe [exercising its superhuman power in those who adhere to and trust in and rely on it].

We Honour Him when we live according to His Word, which teaches us to Honour others.

Honour is a great gift that all of us can give to others. We can influence culture and our communities with honour. It has nothing to do with the person's reputation. It’s our gift to see people the way God sees them.

In 1 Corinthians 13:5, Paul says love does not dishonour, doesn’t behave unseemly, is not rude, does not do what is shameful.

Honour truly brings great refreshing to God’s people. As God’s children, we must learn to choose an attitude of honour at all times.  

We can start by meditating on all the scriptures in this conversation.

Start today to honour those closest to you.

You're loved and celebrated!

Develop Staying Power - Pastor Ekpenyong

James 5:11 MSG "What a gift life is to those who stay the course! You've heard, of course, of Job's staying power, and you know how God brought it all together for him at the end. That's because God cares, cares right down to the last detail."

At what point should a believer throw in the towel and quit? This kind of question plagues a lot of believers because it seems like they've waited forever for the change they so desire. 

Whenever you know that you're in the will of God for your life and that you're standing in the word or have found your place in the word; stay the course, persevere and refuse to quit until your change comes. 

Our opening text tells us God cares right down to the last detail. He can be depended upon to come through for you no matter how it seems that the odds are stacked against you.

Let your heart be established in the fact that the LORD is very compassionate and merciful and that He will not fail or change His mind over your matter.

Make a quality decision like Father Abraham, Job and other Patriarchs in the faith who did not quit, give up or surrender. Glory!

A Simple Shift In Perspectives - Pastor Ekpenyong

Luke 15:17 "And when He came to himself, he said, how many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger!"

No chain has been made that is as strong as a wrong belief held by a person.

A wrong belief will keep a person under the weight and influence of the devil, man and circumstances for as long as these please.

It's not because they have a right to or have such power, but because there is a wrong belief in the mind of the oppressed that has permitted and justified it. 

However, a simple shift in perspective brings a whole new set of pleasant experiences to light. 

In our Father's house there is abundance so much that even servants have enough and to spare.

The effect of death that reigns on earth as a result of the sin of Adam is nothing compared to the effect of abundance of grace and gift of righteousness on those who believe because of the obedience of Christ Jesus. Halleluyah!

Examine your life's experiences in the light of the finished works of Christ, they will begin to come in alignment with the abundance of grace and gift of righteousness you receive. 

I encourage you to believe and trust in His love for you and see Him give you all the breaks you need. Glory!

Rejuvenation: Healing, Health, Life - Pastor Ekpenyong

Rejuvenation according to dictionary cambridge.org is the act or process of making someone look or feel young and energetic again.

Psalm 103:2-5

2 Praise the LORD, my soul, and do not forget how kind he is. 

3 He forgives all my sins and heals all my diseases. 

4 He keeps me from the grave and blesses me with love and mercy.

5 He fills my life with good things, so that I stay young and strong like an eagle.

Everyone wants to live forever young and that's responsible for the multi billion dollar industry of products and services that promise age reversal and anti-aging, from drug supplements, cosmetics to surgery procedures.

In the beginning, God created Adam an immortal being that wasn't subject to the forces of decay until he lost it to Lucifer in the garden of Eden. When Jesus restored man's standing through His death, burial and resurrection, life and immortality was brought to light through the gospel.

2Timothy 1:10 

NLT And now He has made all of this plain to us by the appearing of Christ Jesus, our Savior. He broke the power of death and illuminated the way to life and immortality through the Good News.

It’s very important that we allow the word x-ray our beliefs and thoughts. That's the way we can become transformed into His very image.

Take note of our opening text.

FORGET NOT HIS BENEFITS

It’s so easy to forget, that’s why the Psalmist gave himself and us this instruction.

The way not to forget is to put the thought constantly before your eyes.

Talk it, sing it, recite it!

You remember as a child when you were sent on errands to buy an item. You employed that trick so you didn’t forget. Apply that also to His benefits.

God wants you to remember all the benefits that Jesus has purchased for you with His blood!

It is your responsibility to intentionally remind yourself of these benefits so that you can vitally experience the import these Spiritual realities.

HE FORGIVES ALL OUR SINS...(never forget)

The import that all my sins are forgiven frees me from the burden of guilt and condemnation. 

The consciousness that all your sins are forgiven precedes the healing of all your diseases! So you can be doubly certain that you're healed because the burden of guilt and condemnation as a result of having died to sin is done away with.

1 Peter 2:24 

Who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness—by whose stripes you were healed.

HE KEEPS ME FROM THE GRAVE…(never forget)

We are preserved from harm and hazards to life. So that even if you walk through the dark valley of death, you can fear no harm.

Psalm 23:4 

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,  I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.

HE FILLS MY LIFE WITH GOOD THINGS…(never forget)

Satisfying us with good things is not with the material and mundane that the unbelieving and carnal acquire with the hopes to be satisfied and are left void. 

He satisfies our soul with Himself as only He is good so that our youth is renewed with freshness.

The original Hebrew text simply describes the diseased one as so healed and strengthened, that he became as full of energy as the bird which is strongest of the feathered race, most fearless, most majestic, and most soaring – the eagle.

You can see that in the life of Sarah, most people don’t understand the full extent of what God did in her life. There was more to it than bearing a child in her old age. 

She was rejuvenated physically as she laid hold to the promise of God by faith to such an extent that when King Abimelech saw her, he wanted her for his wife at 90 years old. What’s more, after she gave birth to Isaac, the bible says she nursed him till he was weaned.

HOW OLD IS OLD?

According to the United Nations – World Population Prospects, life expectancy in Nigeria for 2020 is 54.81years.

Many believers expect that once they celebrate their 70th or 80th birthday they should begin to prepare to pack their bags to leave earth for heaven.

However, God’s opinion of old is different.

Joshua 13:1 TLB 

“Joshua was now an old man. "You are growing old," the Lord said to him, "and there are still many nations to be conquered.”

He was probably more than 100 years old; because the conquest and survey of the land occupied about 7 years, the partition one, and he died at the age of 110 years.

We must renew our mind with the truth and not fall for satan’s well articulated lie. He has had to twist the Scriptures to sell us that deceptive pill, because nowhere in the Bible do we find the average life span of God’s people to be a mere seven or eight decades.

Genesis 6:3 MSG

“Then God said, "I'm not going to breathe life into men and women endlessly. Eventually they're going to die; from now on they can expect a life span of 120 years."

I expect a life span of 120years by the grace of our LORD Jesus Christ.

May you live to be 120years old in Jesus name. Amen

Refuse to settle for less than God's best.

Psalm 91:16 CEV 

“You will live a long life and see my saving power.”

Talk and expect to live long and a full life.

HOW DID THE 70 OR 80 YEAR TALK START?

Psalm 90:8-10 NIV

8 You have set our iniquities before you, our secret sins in the light of your presence. 

9 All our days pass away under your wrath; we finish our years with a moan. 

10 The length of our days is seventy years —  or eighty, if we have the strength; yet their span is but trouble and sorrow, for they quickly pass, and we fly away.

This was Moses interceding for the children of Israel in the wilderness. That God should grant 70 years and 80 years to those who have the strength. All this was because of His wrath for their disobedience.

However, Jesus has paid the price for the sin of mankind so that we can live a full long life in joy, health and peace.

Jesus gave Himself to us as our restorer of life and nourishes our old age. Therefore, what we have lost can be restored and our bodies can be gloriously renewed even though we advance in our years.

Ruth 4:15 

“And may he be to you a restorer of life and a nourisher of your old age…”

That is why when Moses died at the age of 120, his eyes were not dim and his natural vigor was not diminished. Caleb, at 85 years old, could still drive out the giants from the land. God had literally nourished his body and made it strong for war.

Job 42:12 

Now the LORD blessed the latter [days] of Job more than his beginning; for he had fourteen thousand sheep, six thousand camels, one thousand yoke of oxen, and one thousand female donkeys.

Job 42:16 

After this Job lived one hundred and forty years, and saw his children and grandchildren [for] four generations.

Beloved, God is outside of time and your faith in Him brings you into this timeless zone.

Your faith in the finished work of Christ brings you into life and immortality.

Faith in these truths will literally change your physical body as was the resurrected body of our LORD JESUS.

Every germ, virus and bacteria that touches my body dies.

Romans 8:11 

The Spirit of God, who raised Jesus from the dead, lives in you. And just as God raised Christ Jesus from the dead, he will give life to your mortal bodies by this same Spirit living within you.

Meditate on these that your profiting will appear to many.

Acts 14:19-20

19 Then Jews from Antioch and Iconium came there; and having persuaded the multitudes, they stoned Paul [and] dragged [him] out of the city, supposing him to be dead. 

20 However, when the disciples gather Ied around him, he rose up and went into the city. And the next day he departed with Barnabas to Derbe.

It’s the same spirit that sustains your body.

Your health springs forth speedily in Jesus name.

Glory be to God!

You're loved and celebrated!

Connect To Your Calling - Pastor Ekpenyong

Never settle for less than God’s best for your life.

Matthew 7:13-14 BBE

13 Go in by the narrow door; for wide is the door and open is the way which goes to destruction, and great numbers go in by it.

14 For narrow is the door and hard the road to life, and only a small number make discovery of it.

The gate of LIFE God ordained for you is small and the road narrow and ONLY A FEW EVER FIND IT.

This is why it requires courage to move beyond the ordinary mass, everybody-is-doing-it kind of life.

You can connect to your calling.

It’s a sad thing to live your life without this deep rooted sense of connection to your purpose.

In spite of your vocation, what will ever matter most is that you’ve connected to your calling and awakened to the inner fulfillment that it affords.

Some mistake the subject of calling as a matter of only functioning in the traditional fivefold ministry.

However, it can be a calling to teach, to give, to build, to being creative or whatever it is you suspect you're built for.

Romans 12: 2-8 TLB

2 Don't copy the behavior and customs of this world, but be a new and different person with a fresh newness in all you do and think. Then you will learn from your own experience how his ways will really satisfy you. 

3 As God's messenger I give each of you God's warning: Be honest in your estimate of yourselves, measuring your value by how much faith God has given you. 

4-5 Just as there are many parts to our bodies, so it is with Christ's body. We are all parts of it, and it takes every one of us to make it complete, for we each have different work to do. So we belong to each other, and each needs all the others. 

6 God has given each of us the ability to do certain things well. So if God has given you the ability to prophesy, then prophesy whenever you can-as often as your faith is strong enough to receive a message from God. 

7 If your gift is that of serving others, serve them well. If you are a teacher, do a good job of teaching. 

8 If you are a preacher, see to it that your sermons are strong and helpful. If God has given you money, be generous in helping others with it. If God has given you administrative ability and put you in charge of the work of others, take the responsibility seriously. Those who offer comfort to the sorrowing should do so with Christian cheer.

When you connect to your calling and function from it, you will experience such satisfaction as nothing else will ever give.

In resolving this calling issue, it is critical that you distinguish between what you’re good at (your vocation or skill set) and what you’re good for (the fulfillment of your purpose and maximizing your potential).

Where are you hedged?

Are you appearing to fulfill what people expect or are you about fulfilling your true potential?

When you don’t become fixated on winning the prize or appearing successful, you will discover the fulfillment that comes in fulfilling your true potential.

Simply put, when you stop living to impress people, you will find fulfillment as you fulfill your true potential.

Many people feel trapped in work that provides a paycheck but little else. This is so because they find they have little opportunity to use their gifts or do anything that is personally meaningful.

What is calling?

Your calling is the knowing and feeling in your heart to do a specific work. It’s as though you sense God summoning you towards your life’s work.

The inner nudges, the sense that there is more to life than simply earning a paycheck and the quiet knowing that you are meant to do more than simply survive; these things may point to your calling, to an invitation or summons, to a path meant for you.

God in His love prods us into action in many ways. He can even use negative feelings such as discontentment and confusion, or positive emotions like energy and enthusiasm about doing something new in our lives.

Philippians 2:13 WUEST

“For God is the One who is constantly putting forth His energy in you, both in the form of your being desirous of and of your doing His good pleasure.”

There are also several decisive moments in our lives in which we find ourselves asking questions like “Who am I?” and “What is God calling me to do?”

What should you do if you find yourself feeling you were created to do something more with your life, if you sense the LORD prodding you to something different?

1. Recognize that finding the calling ordained for you is a partnership between you and God.

God always does His own part of leading and guiding us into the ordained path, but you have to cooperate and follow His lead.

Psalm 32:8-9 NASU

8 I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you should go; I will counsel you with My eye upon you. 

9 Do not be as the horse or as the mule which have no understanding, Whose trappings include bit and bridle to hold them in check, Otherwise they will not come near to you.

2. Commit to a time of prayer.

It is important you commit to some time in prayer when seeking an answer from the LORD.

Jeremiah 33:3 Amp

“Call to Me and I will answer you and show you great and mighty things, fenced in and hidden, which you do not know (do not distinguish and recognize, have knowledge of and understand).”

God wants you to know your calling so you can go forward in it with all confidence. God will be faithful to reveal it to you as you press into Him by prayer.

Colossians 1:9 TLB

“So ever since we first heard about you we have kept on praying and asking God to help you understand what he wants you to do; asking him to make you wise about spiritual things;”

3. Walk in the Will of God.

Partnering with God to connect your calling requires making wise, essential, biblically grounded decisions. It is an essential part to spiritual maturity.

If we aren’t following His instructions already given us in the word and endeavoring to walk in His will, how can He trust us to obey Him in our calling?

Mastering forgiveness, walking in love and humility are necessary training grounds that come ahead of your calling that are not only there for your protection, but for those whom you’re called to impact down the road.

4. Employ an investigative and explorative approach.

Identify the key dimensions or puzzle pieces of your unique God-given design. People learn about their design through life experiences, feedback from others, tests and assessments.

Pay attention to the moments of meaning that you experience, both in your work and outside of it. The more you grasp the connections between the moments that stand out to you, the more you will understand what your calling looks and feels like.

5. Let go of a mindset that may be holding you back from your true calling 

Fear, worry, guilt, failure, not wanting to be judged.

Truth is you need courage to dare to be different and to do YOU and everything you feel your life is about.

It takes courage to grow up and become who you really are. While sometimes your concerns and fears may be legitimate, the greater concern should truly be WILL THE WORLD EVER RECOVER FROM YOUR INACTIONS?

If you knew how desperate the world will be without your contribution, you will throw away all your excuses and self consciousness.

6. Your present is not the enemy of your future.

While it is great to have a vision, realize that you may not know the next step. Therefore, don’t get all out for the future that you miss your calling for today.

Before being called to something, we are called to Someone. Before being called to do, we are called to be. Therefore, focus more on being than on doing.

To determine where your focus is, ask yourself what you’re thankful for. The enemy will try to make what’s going on in your life today not seem remarkable. He’ll have you worrying about things you can’t know right now.

But I encourage you to look at your life with a thankful heart and know that everything is falling in place according to His plans and purpose.

One thing you must realize is God is more interested in you fulfilling your calling than you even are.

You can live this calling even if you are unemployed or in work that doesn't fit you well.

The more diligently you are seeking to live your primary calling, the more effectively the Lord can guide you in finding your vocational calling (that is, work that fits your gifts and brings a deep sense of purpose and significance.)

Listen to the voices all around that urge you to accept the challenge to live your calling. Seize the day. 

Make your life count for eternity. 

Walk worthy of your calling because nothing else truly matters.

You're BLESSED and loved!

Let Him Be Your Alpha And Omega - Pastor Ekpenyong

Rev.1:8CJB "I am the 'A' and the 'Z' says Adonai, God of heaven's armies, the One Who is, Who was and Who is coming."

When God said He is the Beginning and the Ending, He was giving us important information about Himself, which we should take literally and apply to our lives.

It is your choice to give Him that place in your life where He has the first and last say in your matter. 

A place where every voice and opinion is sandwiched inbetween what the LORD says; where you are not pressured by people and challenges into taking any step outside what He has shown and said to you.

It is as though you did not hear or see all that the enemy is throwing at you. 

The LORD has the last say meaning that you are not allowing the verdict you received from your doctor, boss, people around you, your feelings, your bank balance etc., be the last word for you. It means consciously making the word of God the last word by declaring and standing on it even after all those verdicts.

You have what the word says you have,   don't stop believing it, don't stop seeing it; just keep saying it out loud. Glory!
