 Let's give it up for Jesus. Man, now that is what, that's something that Juanita said. That is what we live for in the church. We live to see God transform lives. We live to see people come to God broken and God does what God does best and He heals, saves and delivers. So let's just give it up for Jesus one more time. Come on. Amen. How y'all doing tonight? Are you guys doing good? Yeah, doing awesome. I'm so happy to be here. I'm happy to be here every Sunday and every Wednesday. I'm happy to call Hungry Jen Church. It's always an honor to speak to family. Before we get into the word at all, I'd like you guys to bow your heads and we're gonna call upon God because no word is spoken like one that's given by God. God, we ask you, Lord, that we invite your presence in this place. God, we know you're already here. God, we know you've done a good thing so far. God, we thank you, God, for who you are. God, we thank you, God. That is the word is spoken tonight. God, that you will speak through me, God. And there will be a hard start changed. God, the hard start come alive. That dreams that are gonna begin to begin to be dreamed again, God. Failures and chains that we broken and we give all glory to your name. And Jesus' name pray, amen, amen. All right, y'all. So I'm gonna be speaking on a topic called Christian on a Monday today. I received a bunch of texts from people who were like, hey, does she know it's Wednesday? I know it's Wednesday, but the topic is Christian on a Monday. So how many of you guys believe that we literally go to the best church ever? Right, come on, yeah. Yeah, and we've got the best pastors ever. I was raised here and I come every Sunday and I'm like, good Lord, we are so lucky and so blessed to be here. Every time our pastors, Vlad, Ilya, Martin, and Silly get up and they speak, I feel like, especially the past couple of Sundays, they've just been getting more and more powerful. And I'm like, man, the glory of God falls. And our worship team starts, we start at 6 a.m. and we come at 6 a.m. and we're excited. We know that God's about to do something. And the great thing about that is we get so, we get so full of God every Sunday and every Wednesday. We see God move, we see God change. And how many of you guys leave on a Sunday or Wednesday and you just feel like you can conquer the world? Raise your hands if you got it, right? Right, seriously. And so that, I mean, for us that have been raised in church, even us that know we've heard every message, we've heard everything every single Sunday and Wednesday, we hear the message and God just moves mightily and we're so full of God and that's an amazing feeling. That is an incredible feeling. But I heard a preacher say, the biggest mistakes churches sometimes make is they pump people full of God on Sunday, not preparing them for what's gonna happen Monday. And as I was listening to the message, I had a completely different message planned out and I feel like God was speaking to me and he was saying, this is what I want you to speak about. I want you to prepare my people for the everyday life, the Christian life on a Monday, on a Tuesday, on a Wednesday, on a Thursday, on a Saturday. What happens in life? And so what I want to speak about is when motivation dies on Sunday night, can the habits you've created, can the life you've created sustain your walk with God every other day of the week? So with that, I believe that us as Christians, it's amazing to be Christian filled and spirit filled, but I think to be an example of God, we have to be people that are full of integrity, people that are full of vision, people that are full of purpose and people that are just full of examples that reflect men and valor of God, or men and women of valor. And so the thing is, so what happens on a Sunday? So this is what I'm gonna say. So Sunday is not meant to be an energy drink, it's supposed to be gas and fuel. So what that's saying is every time we come to church, so you know when you drink a Red Bull and you get that instant burst of energy and you're like for like, well, it works for like an hour for me, but for some people like four hours, you feel like you're like an energizer bunny and you're running around and you feel like, you just got like 10 tasks done and you're superwoman, but then after that comes your crash and then like the energy wears off and the sugar and the caffeine wears off and all of a sudden you hit rock bottom, right? So Sunday and church was never supposed to be an energy drink. It was supposed to be like, okay, if we're gonna compare Red Bull, we're gonna compare it to water. Water, it energizes your body, it fuels your body, it hydrates, but it's also good for you, it can sustain your body, right? So that's what church is supposed to be like. But the problem is, is we come into church and we get filled up with the Holy Spirit and it's like gas in a vehicle, but the thing is putting in gas in a vehicle is only good if two things are met. If it's a working vehicle and it has a destination to go or else it doesn't matter because you're putting gas into a vehicle that if it's not working, it's not going anywhere and if there's gas in the vehicle and it has nowhere to go, then it just sits around, right? So that's what I wanna speak about is good people, good Christians don't just happen on accident. When you meet somebody good and you meet somebody and you're like, man, they're such a good person or you meet a couple and they have a great marriage or you meet a student and they're smart, those things don't just happen. You are not born this amazing person. That takes work, that takes habit, that takes investment and that's what I wanna talk about and I am probably thinking like, man, it's not very spiritual, but here's why it is. Is if you can't maintain the gospel, if you can't maintain the grace, you'll never be able to show the world who God really is. You're not gonna be able to maintain a great job and progress because God is a God of progress. So if you can't progress in life, you can't reflect the character of Christ. So we're gonna talk about creating a character, creating greatness within you. So if you guys wanna, well, we'll have it on the screen, Proverbs 22, 29, it says, do you see a man who excels in his work? He will stand before kings, he will not stand before unknown men. So I wanna highlight a few things. A man who excels in his work. There's two things in that. One, he's working, not just posting about it, hallelujah. He's working and not just working, he is excelling. I mean, he is like employee of the month every month, employee of the year, he's winning bonuses because he's excelling in his work and because he's excelling in his work, God says he's going to stand before kings and I think that speaks of a dream. We're saying he's working hard, he's excelling, he's got a dream to stand before kings. So I believe greatness is found in four different things. Greatness is found in habits, investment, hustle and grace and we're gonna break that down. So habits, creating a person, I think the very basic thing, so when we talked about putting gas into a vehicle, I believe that first you have to make sure you have a good vehicle and that's gonna start with the foundation and I believe habits are your foundation, what you do in and out and in and out and the reason I, the background was living a Christian on a Monday, the reason I did that, there's so many words in the background is because I believe we live in a society right now which I believe social media is such a great tool and I believe that it's an amazing thing but the thing is, the problem about social media sometimes is you can be anybody you want on there. Literally you can be whoever you want, you can make up whatever you want and you can let people believe it. As long as you post it, people will like it, people will share it. The problem is your habits don't lie. So it doesn't matter who you present to be, your habits are habitual actions that you do all the time so if you do them over and over and over again you can fool somebody day one, day two, day three but eventually your habits come out and that becomes, so your habits create the foundation that you built on. So if we're gonna be people of substance and we're gonna be people that are worthy of God to pour into and we're not like a bucket that leaks out we need to start covering the holes and those holes are bad habits. So if we're gonna begin to create great habits and create a foundation saying God that's my character God, begin to prune me God take out the bad habits, take out the negativity God create in me a clean heart, create in me great habits so when you pour into me I can sustain your word I can sustain the things that you pour into me so I'm gonna give you guys today we're gonna give you some practical things I'm not trying to, I'm not trying to blow your mind I'm trying to give you steps that you can go home especially as graduates and I think twenties are such an awkward age where you're trying to figure out yourself so I'm just trying to give you guys some basic principles that I have learned and I promise you none of these are like from my own imagination I've learned all of this from my mentors from books, from podcasts, from credible sources promise you I'll get you the references so here are some practical steps we're gonna start with becoming excellent where you're at I think that is one of the biggest things is learning to take responsibility for where you are and it's the easiest thing that when things happen in life to say when things go wrong with family I was raised with bad parents when things go wrong with relationship it was his fault when things go wrong with job I have a bad boss I think character starts with saying it's my life it's my responsibility I don't care what you do I can't control what you do to me but I can control how it affects me and when you begin to take the power away from other people you begin to have the power to build your life so you're gonna start taking and you're gonna become excellent you know what I don't care if you don't like your job if you can learn a thing from everywhere that you are if you stop blaming and you step back and say I don't care where I'm at I'm gonna learn you can learn something if you don't like your job well learn how to put up with difficult people hey that's gonna teach you something in life come on if you if you if anything comes up if you're in a bad relationship or you're in a relationship where the person is tough learn how to persevere learn to overcome if you're in a if you have a family issue learn how to see common ground there's so many different things that you can learn once you stop blaming people and take responsibility come on so and then our next practical step come on yeah yeah so our next practical step is time management a habit that I believe you have to create time management it makes you create take ownership of your time I think if you ask anybody they'll tell you the older that you get time just flies by I feel like it we just celebrated new years and now we're halfway through the year and then you you begin to talk to I remember I was talking to an older gentleman earlier this week and he was telling me his story and he was telling he's probably the most interesting man I have ever met in my life he's 67 years old he's lived a surreal life he fought in the Vietnam war yeah I think it was the Vietnam war if I'm wrong so sorry guys but it was in the Vietnam War he was married to the same woman for 25 years she passed away they had a bucket list and he is now taking over this bucket list and I was like you know tell me about it and he was like he was skydiving and bungee jumping and doing all these things and visiting these states and he was saying he's like when you get to a certain place you wish you would have taken control of your time you wish you'd given it purpose and when you take ownership you give every second every minute saying I'm worth giving my life purpose and so I really want to challenge you learn to manage your time learn to give your time purpose begin to schedule your life don't just wake up and like oh you know I go to work at nine well what are you doing from the time you wake up to nine o'clock that's where greatness happens what are you doing what are you doing at work if you like if you're like I'm just a stalker at an inventory store great you know much time that gives you to think what are you thinking about what are your what consumes your mind time management will be something that if not if you don't create as a solid foundation you'll realize that you're just gonna be chasing it your whole life you're gonna be chasing it and it won't it will be something that continues to slip out of your fingers okay and then number three is gonna be positivity I don't believe you can grow in life and be negative because negative is poison so I don't care how much you invest into your life if you allow negativity in your mind you are gonna continue to kill everything that grows it'll be like what you spring poison you know fruit comes up oh poison that's like okay so speaking for you know personal experience it's like you do good you do good you do good and then negativity comes and you take negativity you get a blessing you get a ticket you get something something comes up that's how positivity works and negativity works if you do not take control of your mind and kill out negativity and speak positivity you're gonna continue to kill every blessing that at that point you might as well have all bad habits because you're just gonna kill them all okay and so number four is gonna be money management and so this is something that I'm continuing to learn and people I believe in the 20s I heard I don't remember what preacher said it but three the three disciplines you need in life are food money or sexual desire if you can discipline those three you can discipline anything in your life and if you take discipline and control over those in your 20s you're gonna realize you're gonna save yourself heartache and marriage you're gonna save yourself heartache down the line with children you're gonna save your heartache and you're gonna save yourself time by just creating a habit of learning how to spend what you have and not spend what you do not have how to create savings so then we're gonna go on to patience patience we're gonna go through this one pretty quickly everything in life is gonna take time and the great thing and the bad thing is nobody's on the same clock as you so I wanna encourage you guys learn to wait upon the Lord God's timing can be crazy but if you endure a waiting spirit a patient spirit then you are gonna be able to reap benefits that come in time and then on the next one dress well I know that sounds like a funny habit but I promise you in life you'll notice as you grow up appearance matters to professional world if you do not take care of yourself and you do not take yourself serious no one else will and I'm gonna skip over that one cause I don't wanna spend too much time on it but I really wanna encourage you guys as you guys are getting into the professional world as you guys are growing up as you guys and I'm speaking this for graduates learn to take your appearance seriously learn to present yourself and show people that I take myself seriously and I wanna be taken serious it's a great habit that'll carry you very very far and teach people how to treat you and then spending time alone when you learn to spend time alone and you get to know yourself you begin to discover who you are and what you wanna achieve and what you wanna go after we're gonna race through these how you respond to adversity fear negativity and opposition how you respond and how you talk to yourself learning to respond with positivity learning to respond with power instead of negativity when you wake up in the morning and those thoughts start running through your mind that I wanna wanna be awake do you allow your thoughts and your feelings to overrule you or can you speak to them and give them purpose and direction to go and that right there these habits these habits will create the foundation of the car they create the engine they create what runs in your life it literally will be the driving force of your vehicle and that when you come to church and you hear things and you are able to pour in you're actually able to have a car that's working that has a car that sustains and some of us were saying I know I've heard this before when you ask people what do you dream about like what do you wanna be and people are like I don't know what I wanna be I'm not good at anything here's the amazing thing good habits worked on become our greatest qualities when you work on your good habits when you work on just being excellent where you're at when you work on being having great time or money management when you work on you all of a sudden see that companies start to notice that the jobs start to notice that hey you know what they're actually really stable and reliable you don't need to have some super talent you just need to be a quality person that makes your life worth quality come on, come on and then number two investment so a car has the engine but it also has the body investment is the cosmetics of a car to pour gas in you need to have the engine but you also need to have doors you need to have investment so to invest into yourself once you've created the foundation you've closed all the leaks you've closed all the holes now you begin to pour into yourself when you have once you have character to maintain you begin to pour and you begin to invest in yourself investing into investing into yourself is the best investment you will ever make it's choosing to invest into who you want to be I recently was writing and talking to God and I heard this coin and it said before you want to spend your life with anyone else you have to want to spend it with yourself that life with yourself is the longest relationship you'll ever keep why not make yourself a really good person if you're gonna spend your life with you from the moment you're born to the moment you die you'll have family and they'll come and go well they'll stay but life takes you different places your friends they'll come and go you'll have a husband you'll have kids but the great thing is you go to sleep with yourself every night why not create and invest into that person why don't you make that person a quality person see don't wait to know what you want to do to start investing to who you want to be you don't need to know that I want to be a doctor so now I'm gonna go study no study now become educated study and move forward you don't need to know exactly what you want to do to invest into who you want to be you should want to be greater no matter what you do and so practical ways to invest into yourself I'm gonna go down the line books, podcasts, sermons, blogs, seminars, conferences, conversations in Google don't shrink your world down to your own interests I hear this all the time I've talked to people where they say I can't afford education I don't get financial aid education is not just found in schools education is everywhere where you choose to learn when you choose to learn you'll find it everywhere you go come on and I want to challenge you so one of the greatest lessons I have ever learned was from my mentor Pastor Ilya he would tell, well it wasn't really to me he would just tell people and he would always challenge people just to learn just to be aware of their surroundings to constantly be learning he would tell me that you know I have dozens of however many business plans are just laying around when he'd hear a topic or he'd hear something he'd start to research it he'd start to create a portfolio and we're like are you ever gonna go after it and he's like oh no I'm just diversifying my mind you don't realize how the information that you learn can become useful and I want to challenge you guys that begin to pay attention in conversation when you meet people ask them questions, engage be curious want to know things because you're thinking like I'm interested in sports what do I ever need to know about agriculture, farming, what but you don't realize when you talk to somebody you get to know them you get to know a little bit just a little bit about their topic now you're standing in an elevator with somebody you ask them how they're doing they tell you good you ask them what they do they farm all of a sudden two weeks ago you had a conversation on farming you can't talk much or you can talk a little bit you've made a connection common ground common ground is the most powerful tool you will ever have because common ground it creates trust it creates connection it creates a bond common ground will open doors that knowledge can never open or that college can never open because when somebody feels like you understand them that you can connect to them then somebody all of a sudden wants to do to help you all of a sudden you don't know that the person in the elevator that you just made a connection with that could be your next boss your next husband your wife your next friend your next whoever but had you when somebody said oh I farm you're like oh cool very cool so what are you doing this week you skipped over information that could have God's like hey that was a door you didn't take it and God is saying I keep giving you opportunities and T.D. Jakes said we pray prayers that God doesn't answer and what he meant by that is we ask God for a table God gives us wood and we stare at the wood and we're like God I need a table and God is saying right there I gave you everything you need to create but you keep stepping over information you keep stepping over videos that I'm saying if you just listen to that I would unlock your destiny come on come on the more that you learn the more room you give God to move if you are in your two by four God is saying man I'm gonna I'm gonna really need to take you places to get you to step out because I only have three bricks to work on but if you just start collecting bricks you would start to realize that you have enough bricks to build a house enough bricks to build your destiny but we keep waiting for God to present us a house when God keeps giving us opportunities to build one I want you guys to learn to diversify yourself learn to find common ground with people be a sponge soak things in read different books I don't care if it's not it's not your interest begin to diversify yourself learn about different topics be a well rounded human being that investment will pay off more than anything you can do in your world and stay forever a student commit your life to learning commit your life to learning from people from relationships don't ever walk away from a situation not having learned something always promise yourself that anywhere that I go whether it's a job a class a situation a relationship a friendship I'm gonna walk away a better person if you're not if you're gonna love me you're gonna love me if not I'm gonna learn from it come on yeah that needs to be our mentality and don't be just passionate be excellent be excellent in your passion not just passionate and I believe that'll take you places number three hustle Proverbs 1423 in all thing in all toil there's profit but a mere post tends to only be poverty that's not really what's written but it says in all in all toil there's profit but in mere talk tends to only be tends only to poverty but I believe if we were to change it now would be in all in toil there's profit but in posts there tends to be poverty with hustle I believe that like I said social media can be such a powerful thing but you know the way that our mind works is if you tell it things long enough it starts to believe it's true and so as much as powerful I believe social media is the problem is we post enough we talk enough hustle and right now in our in our generations I can't stop won't stop hustle the grind you know millionaire mentality books podcast you'll find a meme every single morning 5 a.m. crew everything is on there and it's so powerful to post and I believe it is I believe in motivation I believe in inspiration but it's not enough to post it you actually have to do it so we've created the foundation we've poured in the content we've got a working car we've got gas now we need somewhere to go and we need to be able to drive to get there right so this is just a secret tip I'm gonna give you real quick your problem isn't demons it's too much free time come on yeah right and deliverance is often found in discipline I can give you the seek and I said often so my pastors want to kill me I said often you'd be surprised how many demons you'll lose and how much freedom you'll gain if you just had a prayer life healthy habits and worked really really hard come on right come on let's give that up see the problem is you're fighting pride and the easiest way to kill pride is pride can't survive at 5 a.m. or long clock try waking up at 5 a.m. all your pride is dead all of it it does not wake up see the problem is we begin to see hustle everywhere and I think that's the incredible thing as looking to the generation before us I think that's where the powerful thing to look back into remember where God has taken us from and I believe that's the power in looking back in generations and seeing how hard when you see a generation when you see your parents move from a country they don't know and they move to a new country where they don't speak the language and they begin to create jobs and businesses and they begin to work day and night to support their seven kids guess what you're gonna do you're gonna work your bones dry because you're gonna know that I watched hustle growing up I watched hard work I watched them toil I watched them fight for a better life now I have to do that by example see the definition of hustle and I think that not very many people know it is to abstain something by forceful action the next time you hashtag hustle forceful action when you work it's saying that you know what and I think there's like you know I do believe in balanced life but I think balance comes once you've achieved something right I think you fight for a balanced life once you've actually achieved something so once you've got the foundation you've invested then you take everything you know and you work day and night you work for the things you want but first you create dreams and I want to challenge you guys today I want you guys to begin to create and dream again I believe that as we grow up life begins to beat the crap out of us sometimes and it begins to question our worth and it begins to put fears in us and begin to watch people that don't succeed but there are so many success stories that when you invest into yourself and you begin to hear and listen to motivation you begin to listen to people that made it through like dying times and people that made it through things that they couldn't have and God of the impossible and you begin to fill yourself with a word you begin to create dreams in front of you that you begin to drive to you begin to create dreams that you know what I know I know that man I can't do financial aid but I think I can become a doctor and you begin to fight for that and you begin to go after it and you begin to you begin to go after every single opportunity and that's the thing is we have to become desperate for greatness I don't believe that greatness just happens if greatness just happened everybody would do it but it's so much easier just to wake up go to nine to five go home hang out with your friends but when you start to give your life purpose when you start to invest yourself to the point where you're like I have invested so much I listen to so many podcasts and I've been filled you almost begin to it's like a buzz that gets into you you begin to become so eager to achieve something you begin to like you're like you know what I know college is going to come cost 40,000 so I'm going to work three jobs and I know that this is what it's going to cost and I know nobody in my family has been financially free but I have a dream to be financially free so I'm going to work until I bleed I'm going to blood sweat and tears and you're thinking man you're so intense that's so intense but here's the thing is greatness lives on the edge of losing it all God he set the perfect example when Jesus gave it all for us that's where greatness is if you want to know who the great I am is it's literally standing on a cross giving it all bleeding sweat and tears life leaving your body so the next time you're thinking man this is too hard I want you to picture that hard work is literally it's toil it's giving everything that you have it's literally feeling like I got nothing else to give and then it's getting back up and it's doing it again and it's thinking man I thought that was going to kill me but it didn't which means I probably got to get back up I got to try again that's what hustle means and I truly believe that we cannot reflect the heart of God until we possess a work ethic that literally changes companies that begins to create companies that begins to change families that's saying I know my family is falling apart but I'm going to work till I bleed I'm going to work and I'm going to be on my knees and I'm going to hustle so freaking hard that they're going to come to see Jesus come on come on come on I get a little excited come on your greatest victories I believe lie in the mornings and why to work on your dreams in the mornings this is going to be a secret because your excuses and fears haven't even woken up when your dreams and your doubts and your fears sleep in beat them before they even know what's happening we have this five second rule and I actually heard this and it's scientifically proven that there's a five second rule that when you think something your body has five seconds to pull the e-brake your brain is wired to protect you so when you like for example bungee jumping you're like I'm going to do it and then if you don't decide to jump within five seconds your body pulls the e-brake and all of a sudden fear kicks in and that's where the magic happens in your morning that's where victory can happen in the morning is if you can beat the alarm clock if you can beat your body you can get your alarm rings and if you can get up within five seconds and I know that's going to be hard but I want to challenge you guys the thing is if you start your day with victory guess what that does it starts a theme for you it's you start your day out of victory victory breeds victory productivity breeds productivity negativity breeds negativity failure breeds failure so if you can break the cycle the moment you wake up guess what victory lies in that come on and so and with that so sometimes your dreams your dreams isn't what you thought sometimes your dream isn't what you thought it would be but your commitment to it will lead you to where you need to be and I want you guys I want to encourage you guys to continue to hustle even if it looks like man this isn't what I thought the road it's not about arrival it's about the journey you'd be surprised how many detours how many I thought I was going to be here but when you get there you discover oh my gosh my heart actually beats stronger for this and you allow to trust God and you allow the habits that you built to begin to carry you through the road and where it leads you is so much greater than what you thought it would be and for grace is not for the lazy I hear this all the time you know grace can take you places and grace is for the undeserving it is for the undeserving but it's not for those that are lazy I don't believe in that I believe grace is when you've done all that you can when your hands are bleeding and you're tired when you've been working and working and your bank account is dry when you're sleep deprived you've got nothing left you've given your dream 110% and you're telling God I can't give no more and God is saying your dream is going to require one more step and you're like God I'm out of steps I'm literally on the edge of a cliff God I can't do anymore God I'm tired God when God I've been working so hard God I can't see it anymore and you're discouraged and you've done all that you can and you're standing there and God is saying jump and you're saying God I can't I can't see it that's where grace steps in grace steps in when you've done all that you can and God's saying I've seen your past but I've also seen your faithfulness and I know that when I pour into you you are faithful to hold my content you created these habits that I know when I pour in you pour out and I know that it's not what comes to you but comes through you so when you step out guess what's going to happen God daughter I'm going to teach you to soar and I'm going to take you to places that you've never been and I'm going to make an example out of you and I'm going to bring you before kings because what because you were excellent in your work and you created a work ethic and you were able to carry come on come on yeah because what grace gives you have to learn to maintain you have to be able to maintain what grace gives because grace can come and if you're like a bucket with no substance guess what that grace is doing it's falling through and it feels grace it's like a shower on Sunday morning you feel great but it leaves just as fast as it comes and I don't believe and I understand some of your thinking you don't know what I've been through and I know this is going to be a little harsh but I don't care what your circumstances are there's people that have gone through more than you that are able to achieve more than you if you allow your circumstances to be the stopping block they will be if you allow your circumstances to light a fire under you that I won't go back it will be it will be what your life it will be what I know what I've been through and I will not let it happen to my next generation I will not let it to continue come on and I want to end this message on we talked about creating a foundation investing into yourself becoming a person of quality we've talked about working hard we've talked about grace stepping in but I truly truly believe that greatness cannot be found without the great I am I believe that that is the core that's who he is and I don't believe that without him success is not a place of arrival it's a journey of a lifetime and without God you can't survive it ask if you've ever read a successful story or a success story you know it's had a whole lot of more rock bottoms than it has of hill tops success will try you and test you and I personally my mentor says this Marianna she says I couldn't survive life without God neither would I want to and I believe that that success it'll hit you so many times to teach you before it holds you up that if you do not have God by your side you cannot maintain you cannot withstand the storms of life you cannot withstand what success what you have to pay that price you will not be able to pay it without God you will not be able to pay it without him build your life on the rock of ages and that is the greatest foundation your habits are awesome but the greatest foundation is the rock of ages look to God for your strength find your wisdom in the creator of the universe if you want to create if you want to open substances you can but model it from the creator of the universe model it from the one who breeds things into air if you want to invent things that don't exist model it from the God who did it who took it from the dust come on come on and I'm going to end it on two points is no matter the position the status or achievement that you gain you will only be able to stay there as long as God chooses to keep you there I don't care and that's where it comes becoming a person of substance is the life can hit you so hard sometimes that you think you're good and then you let go of God and all of a sudden you went from the highest hill to those lowest valley and you want to stay next to God because he literally holds your whole life so it doesn't matter what you achieve what you obtain who you love if God can't maintain if God can't keep you there you're not staying and why go through all of it and lose God in the process why can't I gain the whole world and lose your soul begin on your knees be the hardest work invest in yourself stay humble and grateful God is the God of impossible I want to dare you tonight to dream I want to dare you to find God start the day on your knees and ask God what can I accomplish God where do you want me this world is searching you know what I believe I believe there needs to be more Christians there are millionaires because we need to show the world that we can invest back into the world there needs to be more doctors that are Christian that can speak of healing there needs to be more teachers that speak into children life there needs to be more people that dream I need the church to begin to dream again because this world needs more Christians that are standing tall and reflecting the greatness of God so I want you guys to stand with me today thank you
