!
DATE:
26 JUNE 2016
!
THEME:
YOU ARE A LION
!
SCRIPTURE READING:
2 TIMOTHY 1:9 NKJV
INTRODUCTION
!
!
!
BETWEEN OUR SALVATION AND GRACE WE
RECEIVED:
!
❒
!
A CALLING AND PURPOSE
!1
❒
❒
!
❒
!
ITS ALL ABOUT HIS PURPOSE, WE ARE
ALIVE FOR HIS PURPOSE
!
ITS ALL ABOUT HIM, ALL FOR HIM
YOUR LIFE, GIFTS, TALENTS,
OPPORTUNITIES, TRAINING AND
TESTIMONY ARE FOR THE GLORY OF GOD
WHATEVER GOD PUTS IN YOUR HAND YOU
CAN USE TO FULFIL WHAT GOD HAS PUT IN
YOUR HEART
!
WHAT IS IN YOUR HAND IS YOUR CALLING –
WHAT YOU DO, YOUR GIFTS AND TALENTS
!
WHAT IS IN YOUR HEART – WHAT YOU LOVE,
YOUR PURPOSE AND DREAM IS THE REASON
THAT YOU ARE ALIVE
!
WE ARE ALIVE FOR AN ETERNAL PURPOSE!
!
❒ WHEN WE REALIZE THIS WE LIVE OUR
LIVES IN AN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT WAY
!
❒ WE LIVE FOR SOMETHING SO MUCH
BIGGER
!
❒ WE LOOK AT WHAT’S IN OUR HAND (GIFT,
TALENT UNIQUENESS) AND WE DEVALUE
IT, UNDERMINE ITS POWER
!
❒ WE THINK THAT IT IS IN THE WAY OF
WHAT’S IN OUR HEARTS (OUR VISION AND
DREAM)
!
!2
IN EXODUS 3
!
MOSES ASKS, “WHO AM I?”
!
HE DID NOT REALIZE HIS VALUE
!
HE QUESTIONS GOD:
!
“WHO ARE YOU?”
!
“TAKE SOMEONE ELSE”
!
GOD SAYS, “WHAT’S IN YOUR HAND?”
!
GOD ENABLED HIM TO FULFIL HIS PURPOSE
!
DO YOU BELIEVE THAT GOD CAN ACTUALLY
USE WHAT IS IN YOUR HAND TO FULFIL WHAT
IS IN YOUR HEART?
!
❒
!
WHAT GOD CAN DO IN YOU:
WHEN HE CREATED YOU HE KNEW EXACTLY
WHAT HE WAS DOING, YOU ARE PERFECT IN
HIS SIGHT
!
❒ GOD HAS GIVEN YOU GIFTS AND TALENTS,
(WHAT COMES NATURALLY) VALUE THEM
!
❒ GOD CREATED AND DESIGNED YOU WITH
EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO FULFIL HIS
PLAN FOR YOUR LIFE
!
DON’T UNDERESTIMATE WHAT GOD CAN DO
WITH WHAT HE HAS PUT IN YOUR HAND
!
!3
WE TEND TO DEVALUATE WHAT’S IN OUR
HAND
!
LIFE’S FIVE QUESTIONS
!
!
!
FOUR FUNDAMENTAL HUMAN NEEDS
!
!
!
IDENTITY / WORTH – WHO AM I?
!
SOURCE / BELONGING (INSECURE) WHERE
AM I FROM?
!
!
PURPOSE / ILLEGITIMATE – WHY AM I
HERE?
!
!
!
!
!
POTENTIAL / COMPETENCE (INADEQUATE)
WHAT CAN I DO?
DESTINY – WHERE AM I GOING?
THE LIONS SECRET TO BEING KING
!
THE LION IS NOT:
!
❖
!
❖
!
❖
!
❖
!
❖
!
THE STRONGEST ANIMAL
THE TALLEST ANIMAL
THE MOST BEAUTIFUL ANIMAL
THE FASTEST ANIMAL
THE TOUGHEST ANIMAL
!4
❖
!
❖
!
THE MOST INTELLIGENT ANIMAL
THE LION IS THE KING! (THE LEADER)
THE MIND OF A LION
!
• HIS BELIEF MAKES HIM FEARLESS
!
• HE THINKS AND BEHAVES HIS THOUGHTS
!
• HE LOOKS AT THE ELEPHANT AND THINKS,
“LUNCH”
!
• THE CREATOR IDENTIFIED HIMSELF WITH
THE LION AND THE EAGLE
!
• THE QUALITIES OF THESE TWO
CREATURES EXHIBIT THE NATURE OF
LEADERSHIP
!
THE LION NEVER DECIDED TO BE THE LEADER
(KING) OF THE ANIMAL WORLD, IT’S WHAT HE
IS
!
GENESIS 1:26-27 NKJV
Vs. 26 THEN GOD SAID, "LET US MAKE MAN IN
OUR IMAGE, ACCORDING TO OUR LIKENESS; LET
THEM HAVE DOMINION OVER THE FISH OF THE
SEA, OVER THE BIRDS OF THE AIR, AND OVER
THE CATTLE, OVER ALL THE EARTH AND OVER
EVERY CREEPING THING THAT CREEPS ON THE
EARTH."
!
!5
Vs. 27 SO GOD CREATED MAN IN HIS OWN
IMAGE; IN THE IMAGE OF GOD HE CREATED
HIM; MALE AND FEMALE HE CREATED THEM.
!
GENESIS 5:1-2 NKJV
Vs. 1
IN THE DAY THAT GOD CREATED MAN,
HE MADE HIM IN THE LIKENESS OF GOD.
!
Vs. 2
HE CREATED THEM MALE AND
FEMALE, AND BLESSED THEM AND CALLED
THEM MANKIND IN THE DAY THEY WERE
CREATED.
JAMES 3:9 NKJV
!
WITH IT WE BLESS OUR GOD AND
Vs. 9
FATHER, AND WITH IT WE CURSE MEN, WHO
HAVE BEEN MADE IN THE SIMILITUDE OF GOD.
!
MATTHEW 5:48 NKJV
Vs. 48 "THEREFORE YOU SHALL BE PERFECT,
JUST AS YOUR FATHER IN HEAVEN IS PERFECT.
!
PSALM 8:1-6 NKJV
Vs. 1
O LORD, OUR LORD, HOW EXCELLENT IS
YOUR NAME IN ALL THE EARTH, WHO HAVE SET
YOUR GLORY ABOVE THE HEAVENS!
!
Vs. 2
OUT OF THE MOUTH OF BABES AND
NURSING INFANTS YOU HAVE ORDAINED
STRENGTH, BECAUSE OF YOUR ENEMIES, THAT
!6
YOU MAY SILENCE THE ENEMY AND THE
AVENGER.
!
Vs. 3
WHEN I CONSIDER YOUR HEAVENS, THE
WORK OF YOUR FINGERS, THE MOON AND THE
STARS, WHICH YOU HAVE ORDAINED,
!
Vs. 4
WHAT IS MAN THAT YOU ARE MINDFUL
OF HIM, AND THE SON OF MAN THAT YOU VISIT
HIM?
!
Vs. 5
FOR YOU HAVE MADE HIM A LITTLE
LOWER THAN THE ANGELS, AND YOU HAVE
CROWNED HIM WITH GLORY AND HONOR.
!
Vs. 6
YOU HAVE MADE HIM TO HAVE
DOMINION OVER THE WORKS OF YOUR HANDS;
YOU HAVE PUT ALL THINGS UNDER HIS FEET,
!
ATTITUDE IS THE SECRET TO THE LIONS
SUCCESS
!
ATTITUDE IS A PRODUCT OF BELIEF AND
CONVICTION (FAITH)
!
ATTITUDE IS AN INWARD FEELING (BELIEF)
EXPRESSED BY OUTWARD BEHAVIOUR
!
YOU CAN FOOL OTHERS FOR AWHILE BUT
ATTITUDE ALWAYS WRIGGLES ITS WAY OUT
!
IT COLOURS EVERY ASPECT OF LIFE, IT’S THE
MINDS PAINTBRUSH
!
!7
IT IS MORE HONEST AND CONSISTENT ABOUT
YOU THAN YOUR WORDS
!
IT’S WHAT DRAWS PEOPLE TO YOU OR REPELS
THEM
!
IT IS NEVER CONTENT UNTIL IT IS EXPRESSED
!
ATTITUDE IS A LEARNED BEHAVIOUR,
CREATED BY OUR BELIEFS, WHICH ARE
PRODUCED BY OUR THOUGHTS
!
ATTITUDE IS NOT EVERYTHING BUT IT IS THE
ONE THING THAT CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN
YOUR LIFE
!
YOU HAVE CONTROL OVER IT DESPITE YOUR
CIRCUMSTANCES
PROVERBS 23:7 NKJV
!
Vs. 7
HE.
FOR AS HE THINKS IN HIS HEART, SO IS
