SERMON NOTES

jer 2:21 -> God planted us as seed in the highest quality -> one with great potential.
things dont change because people dont act on what they believe
things dont change because people dont think it can be done
its not about circumstances, its about e way you think!

anything that has life, is called to MAXIMUM PRODUCTIVITY. -> not just having e quality, but with quality comes quantity! -> to be e head and not e tail

God has PURPOSED us, to be EMPOWERED to succeed.

if ure not e head, if ure not doing well, if ure not a person of creativity, ability and productivity, something is wrong because God created us in HIS image. If God had not PURPOSED us to be EMPOWERED to succeed, then all our hard work will be futile.

-> because man is imperfect and will not achieve his/her fullest potential without God. But because God SPOKE and He PURPOSED for us to be empowered to succeed, nothing that He says or purposed will return to Him void.

acts 1:8 -> we dont just stop at salvation (Father + Son), after salvation comes EMPOWERMENT (Holy Spirit)! -> all 3 persons of God are united and active in our daily walk with Him!

when u are saved, u have authority. but when u are baptized in e Spirit, u have POWER!

to bless is to impart supernatural/divine empowerment to succeed.
mk 6:48 -> Jesus' original intention was not to save them, He was about to PASS THEM BY!

rom 8:28 -> stop living in self-pity!

God doesnt put u in a situation and expects you to be a baby asking for food all the time, He wants us to grow up, to take e authority He has given to us, step out in faith and begin to take responsibility and change our world! -> How can God make you faithful over much when you cant even be faithful in the 'little' situations tt God has placed in your life?

luke 5:24-25 -> take up your 'bed', take up what you are dependent on, get up and start walking! Go back to where you came from and proclaim e goodness of God!

God doesnt waste your life experience. After you have pulled through, go back to where you came from and use that experience to help and be a blessing to those who are going through what you went through!

Do what you can do and God will do what you cannot do!

Josh 1:8 -> prosperity and success comes when we OBEY and APPLY
prov 13:23 -> 'fallow' means uncultivated; stored potential

when you see a poor man, dont just give him welfare and leave him poor! develop the fallow ground in him! the only good news to a poor man is that you can be poor today, but in God you not be poor all your life!

Divine empowerment is based upon my acceptance of RESPONSIBILITY for what God has called me to do.

Divine empowerment comes the moment we are willing to take RESPONSIBILTY! -> Divine empowerment comes AFTER responsibility!

until you say, u wanna do something abt it, until u avail/volunteer urself, until you take e first step, empowerment wont come. God is not just moved by your needs, God moves by your faith and attitude!

You lose God's power and grace the moment you become individualistic!

If you can influence people, you can influence society! -> you can do what people say is impossible, you can meet needs that people have tried to meet, and you can come up with solutions of wisdom and be a problem solver, because you say you are going to take responsibilty and do something about it!

-gen 41:16, 33-38, 39-40, prov 18:16

u dont have to be worried of walking alone, God will set you up!

Joseph was a sold as a slave, put in prison, but he took responsibility of the fact that he was gifted in interpreting dreams, and as a result he became the 'prime minister' the nation, next to pharaoh! -> God was the one who placed those dreams into pharaoh, God placed Joseph at the right place at the right time, with the right people doing the right thing!

-> All because he took responsibilty and did something with his life! THEN God empowered him.

With wisdom comes favor, favor of God and men. -> you will stand before great men because you took responsibilty and God empowers you with divine wisdom that surpasses the understanding of man!

God creates a NEED in SOCIETY -> God EMPOWERS the CHURCH to bring the SOLUTION-> Therefore making the church NECESSARY

Believe that you can! Change comes from within!

Its not about the circumstances or situations you're in, your life will only change the moment your thinking changes!

Dont water the negative seeds in your life, God has made us a seed of high quality, of great potential. Stop watering the weeds and water the seed that God has placed in your life!

Guard your heart, make a CHOICE with what you allow to grow on the inside.
