Renewed Imagination - Pastor Ekpenyong

2 Corinthians 5:7wuest “For through faith we are ordering our manner of life, not by something seen.”

Imagination is the ability to see something with our minds that we cannot see with our physical eyes.

Most of us don’t realize how much we use our imagination; you really could never function without it.

You can’t see anything happen or do anything without your imagination.

However, for the most, their imagination is wild and vain; this is one reason it behooves of you to renew your mind, just as you train an animal brought from the wild.

As a believer, your imagination should paint such a real picture that you live by what the Word says more than what you can see with your physical eyes. Halleluyah!

You need to meditate on the word of God until you can see yourself the way God sees you and do the things He said you can and should do.

You are dethroning those thoughts that are not consistent with your recreated status in Christ.

Stop limiting God and yourself by engaging your imagination in the right and positive way.

Glory!

Do Your Job as Unto The Lord - Pastor Ekpenyong

Ecclesiastes 9:10ERV “Every time you find work to do, do it the best you can. In the grave there is no work. There is no thinking, no knowledge, and there is no wisdom. And we are all going to the place of death.”

It is time to take your work to the next level. For it is impossible or almost impossible to succeed at something you do not enjoy.

Some people will tell you that they are just patching with the job at hand whilst not realizing that they are unawares wasting away their golden lives because that’s the activity that absorbs a major portion of our lives.

The secret to satisfaction and fulfillment in our work is not doing what one likes, but liking what one does.

God created man to fellowship and to work. Work being our great platform to display the effect of the rub-off from His presence that is cultivated in fellowship.

Martin Luther King Jr. said, “If a man is called to be a sweeper, he should sweep streets as Michelangelo painted, or Beethoven composed music or Shakespeare wrote poetry. He should sweep streets so well so that all the host of heaven and earth will pause and say, here lived a great street sweeper who did his job well.”

Do your work heartily as if God is watching, because He is.

Glory!

Thanksgiving - The Voice of Trust - Pastor Ekpenyong

Phil.4:6 Weymouth “Do not be over-anxious about anything, but by prayer and earnest pleading, together with thanksgiving, let your request be unreservedly made known in the presence of God.”

It is very important and critical that the rules that govern prayer are understood and applied every time you pray because that determines the outcome; for the scriptures have been given to us by God to understand His ways.

Thanksgiving must accompany every form of New Testament prayer and supplication because our requests come from the backdrop of all Jesus has done for us by His death, burial and resurrection. 

Thanksgiving implies we trust and have confidence in what Jesus has done for us. That we know that even though experientially we may not be enjoying the benefits of the New Testament, we have become persuaded that it is for us.

Also, thanksgiving, is a proper way to align oneself to the provisions and benefits of our inheritance in Christ.

When you pray and ask our Heavenly Father for anything, you can thank Him in advance because in Christ all the promises of God in Christ are yes and amen.

Create The Reality of Answered Prayer - Pastor Ekpenyong

Mark 11:24amp “For this reason I am telling you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe (trust and be confident) that it is granted to you, and you will [get it].”

There is unquantified joy in the heart of believers who know the secret of creating the reality of answered prayers in their lives.

This secret is found in the words that proceeded from the lips of our LORD Jesus which is our opening text that “whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.”

The key is this; upon asking for whatever you desire in prayer, believe that you have received it. This action must precede the physical manifestation.

A sense-ruled man says I must see before I believe it. No wonder his heightened anxiety and frustration.

However, a man who walks by faith gets answers to his prayers every single time especially when it covers personal issues irrespective of how long because he holds fast to his confession.

Simply by saying ‘I believe I receive’ you are grooming yourself in the spiritual until you become a possessor of what you believed you received.

Glory!

Fearless Confidence - Pastor Ekpenyong

John 16:33amp “I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have [perfect] peace and confidence. In the world you have tribulation and trials and distress and frustration; but be of good cheer [take courage; be confident, certain, undaunted]! For I have overcome the world. [I have deprived it of power to harm you and have conquered it for you.]”

Despite the distress and uncertainties in today’s world, when you receive the word of God, you are assured, unshakable and deeply at peace. Halleluyah!

This is one major reason the devil constantly attacks everything that has to do with anyone receiving the word.

There is a release of superhuman power at work in those who receive the word indeed for no word from God is without power or impossible of fulfillment.

As you go through new and unfamiliar terrains, or whether you’re facing unpleasant and daring challenges be fearless and confident.

The basis for our fearless confidence is because we know that we won’t be harmed or overcome by them for Jesus has neutralized and nullified their effects.

Therefore cheer up.

Glory!

Future Assured - Pastor Ekpenyong

1Peter 1:4GW “We have been born into a new life which has an inheritance that can't be destroyed or corrupted and can't fade away. That inheritance is kept in heaven for you.”

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

The second implication of our opening text is that, this inheritance has your name on it because it is kept for you. Yes you!

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!

This shows you the extent of God’s estimation of you and everything that concerns you. Your inheritance is so invaluable that you ought not to lie down in self-pity and depression rather square your shoulders and put a spring 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!

Terms and Conditions Apply - Pastor Ekpenyong

Phillipians 4:19AMP “And my God will liberally supply (fill to the full) your every need according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus.”

More people fail when it comes to faith for finances than anything else. The reason is because they're trying to exercise faith for finances, but they haven't planted any seed! They want God to bless their finances even though they haven't planted anything.

The first step toward getting your financial needs met is to believe and obey the Bible. Actually giving starts first by paying the tithe and then the offering. 

Supernatural manifestations often occur for us in the area of finances because we have obeyed God and have sown seed as HE DIRECTS .

God's plan is for us to grow financially as we grow spiritually. 

It's easy to see why God wants us to increase financially at the same rate we increase spiritually. 

He wants us to outgrow our fleshly foolishness so our prosperity will bring us blessing and not harm; for the prosperity of fools shall destroy them.

God is committed to prospering you and that is 50% of the equation, the remaining 50% comes from you. 

Stay committed to the truth; putting it first place and see God taking you to realms beyond your wildest dreams. 

Glory!
