Be the 1
The “Be the 1” Series at LifeBridge has been our most challenging set of messages ever. The sermons have inspired us, both personally and corporately. I believe the Lord has used every message to give us the opportunity to draw closer to Him, to take personal challenges in fulfilling our potential, and most importantly, for us to respond to the eternal purposes of God in the earth.
When you and I choose to “Be the 1” it means we are willing to use our time, talent, and resources for the glory of God and the advancement of God’s Kingdom. When you choose to “Be the 1” it means that you will make choices that others will not make. In other words, to “Be the 1” will distinguish your life from others.
Here is what you must do in order to “Be the 1.”
1. We must recognize defining moments
Defining moments are not easily recognized. Many times God brings these moments into our lives and they may not resemble God opportunities. Many times defining moments from God come as interruptions or insertions to our plan.
Can God interrupt your life so that you can experience a defining moment?
2. We must allow God to challenge our life
Most of us are not great at seeking God alone. God gave us the Holy Spirit, Pastors, and Teachers to continually challenge us to maintain our spiritual growth and personal relationship with Him! They are truly gifts to our lives. It is these men and women that God speaks through, that keeps us challenged, corrected, and on course with God and His Spirit. Normally, these anointed people confirm the things that God has been speaking to us in our private lives.
I pray for the mother, teacher, fireman, business person, wife, construction worker, or other, to allow their purpose in life, and the eternal purpose of God to intersect. It is here, that we will “Be the 1.”
In His Service,
Pastor Tom
