What is GEPC? It is how I remember the order of the epistles that occur after Romans and the Corinthians. God’s Electric Power Company is what it stands for and the order is Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians and Colossians. It is a reminder not only of the order but that we are workers in God’s Company. As such we should be mindful of the Company Manual and policies and procedures.

The owner and founder is God. It is His Company and we are but workers in that company. The power is His and not ours. Tapping into the power for personal use is theft and punishable under company policies and procedures. We as workers are not the transmission lines of that power. Workers are cautioned not to grab transmission lines. Training and equipment will be provided for working around the power lines.

The reason I am talking this way is because I have witnessed abuses within the company. There are those who do believe they possess the power and that the power answers to their will.

Matthew 7:21-23 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

The only safeguard against this mistake is to respect the power, honor the source of the power and to adhere to company policies and procedures. Proclaiming the name of Jesus when God’s will is not in effect is identity theft. This too is against company policy.

Deuteronomy 18:21 And if thou say in thine heart, How shall we know the word which the Lord hath not spoken?

Good question!
