Maranatha EP Congregation

In Deborah we find a woman willing to serve. It was not her calling per se because we must remember that God’s word was meant for Barak, the responsibility was on him, to go and fight and deliver His people. But since he backed out, rejecting the blessing of his calling, then God uses Deborah to free his people from oppression, and slavery.

Each and every one of us has a purpose in God's plans. All of us are called to serve. While some are called to be Pastors, leaders, elders, and teachers, others are called to be Believers where the opportunity comes so you can serve Him by being a good student, a good worker, being a doctor, architect, someone with a career. God calls us to serve with our various gifts to unify us as a body in service to him. God has plans for you. And he calls you and tells you that he wants to use you: to pray for his Church, to Attend on a regular basis since you are the Church of Christ, and to preach the Gospel.

We are "ALL" sinners! It is something to have in mind! Every person was born with this defect since Adam and Eve! Meaning that it is in our nature to want to do what is wrong! that is why God says in Galatians 5:16, "But I say, Live by the Spirit and you will not carry out the desires of the Flesh" How can we escape our own Nature? BY LIVING IN THE SPIRIT...you will be free from your own self, free from your natural desires; you will not fall under temptation, you will withstand anything Satan throws against you if you are Living in the SPIRIT!
Quickly: In Order to Live in the Spirit WE MUST:

1.- Establish a Relationship with God
(Read the Bible, Pray Every day and Meditate in the Lord)

2.-Trust in God
(We must have faith in HIM despite Trials and Tribulation,
Problems and sickness; DESPITE ANY SUFFERING)

3.- Accept God's Will
(HE has plans for YOU! But at times, those plans don't suit us,
or we might THINK they are beyond our capabilities but know
that in that CIRCUMSTANCE you will see the GREAT GOD at
WORK in your WEAKNESSES!)

4.- Dedicate Your Life in Service
(Surrender everything to God! Be involved in God's Work! Let
us put ourselves before our Lord with all willingness! Let us
Respond: "Speak LORD, for your SERVANT is LISTENING!)
