God Will See To It - Pastor Ekpenyong

Genesis 22:8MSG “Abraham said, "Son, God will see to it that there's a sheep for the burnt offering." And they kept on walking together.”

The Christian is called to supernatural living and anything short of this is a life not bringing honor to the gospel of Christ.

We have been called unto greatness to accomplish great things in the kingdom and all of these will be done as He provides.

You must always bear it in mind that whatever God will require of you will be done on His terms and resources.

He will see to it that all that you require to accomplish what He’s committed to you is supplied adequately and abundantly.

For God is able to make all grace (every favor and earthly blessing) come to you in abundance, so that you may always and under all circumstances and whatever the need be self-sufficient [possessing enough to require no aid or support and furnished in abundance for every good work and charitable donation]. Halleluyah!

Therefore, dream big for there is no limit to the resources available to you. Refuse to be short-changed for there is more in God than you could ever imagine. Glory!

Long And Lasting Impression - Pastor Ekpenyong

2 Peter 1:13msg “This is the post to which I've been assigned — keeping you alert with frequent reminders — and I'm sticking to it as long as I live.”

It is quite common to see people tired of hearing the same information repeatedly especially because they think they already know it. It shouldn’t be so for the New Creation in Christ because it is through repetition that you renew your mind and become more ‘in-christ’ conscious.

The key to remaining and abiding a fruitful Christian is to continue in the word. Repetition is the key to long and lasting impression; this is how you build mindsets or a consciousness. Never be tired of listening, reading God’s word; especially whatever has had such a great impact on you.

Once is not enough, it should be continuous and consistent for he who looks into the perfect law of liberty and CONTINUES in it will not only remember but also do what it says and will be BLESSED in what he does.

Never say you’ve heard it before; rather listen to the word for as long as the Spirit keeps bringing it back to you until you are awake and alert to these unseen realities. For the Holy Spirit knows what’s ahead of you and is preparing you so you will be fully prepared for every good work. Glory!

Set On The Right Course - Pastor Ekpenyong

Joel 2:8NLT “They never jostle each other; each moves in exactly the right position. They break through defenses without missing a step.”

It is very important that you realize what your lot is in Christ Jesus and begin appropriating it for this is how we convert spiritual realities to tangible manifestations.

You must accept the fact that there are no coincidences with the believer for everything about your life is pre-planned and intentional.

The Lord orders your steps and He watches with delight over all your affairs. Even if you fall, you will not be without help for the hand of the Lord is supporting you.

Accept the fact that you are set on the right course in life and destiny. Therefore, you enjoy protection, provision, help and so much more.

Even desert conditions don’t have adverse effects on you because He maintains your health and causes you to be like a well-watered garden, a stream that never runs dry. Halleluyah!

A life in Christ is a life set on the right course, so enjoy it. Glory!

Aroma Of True Christian Compassion - Pastor Ekpenyong

Heb.13:3GNT “Remember those who are in prison, as though you were in prison with them. Remember those who are suffering, as though you were suffering as they are.”

The hustle and bustle of a cosmopolitan city as ours could make a person so consumed by his or her needs, expectations and desires that the believer could become a victim of these pressures and forget that we are here as ambassadors of Christ.

We are duty bound to remember our brethren in hostile and not so pleasant climes where their liberties as Christians have been jeopardized and contravened.

The remembrance of those in the prisons and those suffering must be so constant, so burdensome as to make you act. This is indeed the aroma of true Christian compassion.

Become one who is moved by the plight of others to do something to bring relief and comfort; starting from intercession, visits, advocacy to giving relief and defending their cause.

Holding this thought will be such a great motivation in carrying out this divine instruction as we affect and transform our communities with the love of Christ. “As though you were in prison with them” will mean you do for them as you would wish it was done for you if you were in such a position. Glory!

You Are Never Forgotten - Pastor Ekpenyong

Isaiah 49:15-16 CEV 

“The Lord answered, “Could a mother forget a child who nurses at her breast? Could she fail to love an infant who came from her own body? Even if a mother could forget, I will never forget you. A picture of your city is drawn on my hand. You are always in my thoughts!”

Have you ever wondered if God had forgotten you especially because of a nagging and reoccurring condition? No wonder you hear people pray, “Oh God remember me.”

Well the goodnews is God has never had a cause to forget you or needed someone to remind Him about you. He knows your name, your location, your history, your condition and every minute detail of your life.

It therefore means that God has a plan and purpose for your life and every detail is being worked out as you follow Him.

Don’t let your life be ruled by circumstances rather let it be ruled and regulated by the word; and the word says “He is always thinking about you.”

Refuse to accept the lie of the devil that God has abandoned you to fate; He is working out all things together for your good and as such, you have to trust Him.

Your best days are here inspite of what your previous experiences have been because you are never forgotten. Glory!

Yielded Vessels - Pastor Ekpenyong

Ezekiel 22:30amp “And I sought a man among them who should build up the wall and stand in the gap before Me for the land, that I should not destroy it, but I found none.”

God heard the cry of the Israelites and called Moses and said to him come now therefore and I will send you to Pharaoh that you may bring my people the children of Israel out of Egypt.

Just like Moses, you are the answer to someone’s prayer. God has been preparing you all these years for a purpose, your journey and experiences along the way are not coincidental.

Stop being unstable in responding to the nudgings of the Spirit. The reason you are afraid is because all you see is yourself; your abilities, weakness and challenges. Change your view and see God’s ability in you.

God needs a channel to reach the world; to preserve humanity in the flood, He found Noah. To save the world from the extremities of famine, He found Joseph. To reach the Gentiles with the Gospel of His Grace, He found Paul. To save the Jews from Haman’s plot, He found Esther.

God works with yielded vessels to do His will on the earth. Your willingness and yieldedness sets you off on the path. Glory!

Ambassadors Of His Goodness - Pastor Ekpenyong

Acts 10:38GW “You know that God anointed Jesus from Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power. Jesus went everywhere and did good things, such as healing everyone who was under the devil's power. Jesus did these things because God was with him.”

Every believer has something the world so desperately needs and it is the loving touch of Jesus.

It is a great disservice and robbery when we sit indifferent and watch them die in anguish and hopelessness languishing under the oppression of the devil.

Many wonder why more people are not coming into the Kingdom. After all, we have the truth—the Good News!

Maybe it is because we are waiting for others who are “gifted” to do what we have all been given responsibility and authority to do.

If we could grasp the ramifications of the fact that we have already been commissioned and authorized to go represent the Kingdom, maybe we would have more confidence to release what is already inside of us.

This confidence is not in our ability or good works but in His love and goodness that He so lavishly seeks to express to all.

This is where we come into the equation as His ambassadors; knowing that He is infinitely good and unwilling to see anyone continue one more minute under the turmoil of the devil. Glory!
