02/11-12 - A Brand New Day: Week 6- Maximizing the Moment
Isaiah 43:18-19 MSG
"Forget about what’s happened; don’t keep going over old history. Be alert, be present. I’m about to do something brand-new. It’s bursting out! Don’t you see it There it is! I’m making a road through the desert, rivers in the badlands.
Revelation 21:5, 7b NLT, “Look, I am making everything new!” …All who are victorious will inherit all these blessings, and I will be their God, and they will be my children.”
LIFE IS A GIFT. MAKE THE MOST OF IT! #ABrandNewDay
Everything we have is a gift from God.
All good things are gifts from God (1 Timothy 6:17).
Food and clothing (Matthew 6:25,33),
rain and fruitful harvests (Leviticus 26:4),
faith (Ephesians 2:8),
grace (James 4:6),
wisdom (Proverbs 2:6, James 1:5),
and life itself (Isaiah 42:5) are all gifts from God.
AS LONG AS YOU HAVE BREATH IN YOUR BODY, YOU HAVE TIME TO LIVE LIFE TO THE FULL!
TIME IS A GIFT.
THE ENEMY IS THE ACCUSER OF OUR PAST. GOD IS THE AUTHOR OF OUR FUTURE.
THE NUMBER ONE REASON WE STRUGGLE TO MAXIMIZE FUTURE TIME IS BECAUSE WE ARE BOUND BY OUR PAST TIME.
BECAUSE OF CHRIST, WE ARE NOT DEFINED BY OUR PAST, WE ARE REDEEMED TO LIVE LIFE TO THE FULL.
Zechariah 3:1-8 NLT
THE GREATEST RESISTANCE WE FACE IS THE ACCUSER OF OUR TIME.
THE ENEMY WANTS US TO LIVE IN REGRET.
FORGET ABOUT WHAT HAS HAPPENED.
FORGET ABOUT THE BEING ACCUSED BY YOUR PASTIME.
Be alert, be present. I’m about to do something brand-new. It’s bursting out! Don’t you see it. There it is!
AS LONG AS YOU HAVE BREATH IN YOUR BODY, YOU HAVE HOPE FOR YOUR FUTURE. #ABrandNewDay
GOD IS DOING SOMETHING BRAND NEW!
GOD IS DRESSING YOU IN THE NEW!
Ephesians 5:15-16 NIV
15 Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise, 16 making the most of every opportunity…
Philippians 3:13b-14 NLT
…but I focus on this one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead, 14 I press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us.
SCHEDULE YOUR PRIORITIES.
MOMENTUM IS BUILT BY PERSEVERING IN LIVING OUT YOUR PRIORITIES.
MOMENTUM IS A MOVING FORCE THAT OVERCOMES RESISTANCE.
Matthew 6:33-34 MSG
Steep your life in God-reality, God-initiative, God-provisions. Don’t worry about missing out. You’ll find all your everyday human concerns will be met.
34 Give your entire attention to what God is doing right now, and don’t get worked up about what may or may not happen tomorrow. God will help you deal with whatever hard things come up when the time comes.
Matthew 6:33 NLT
33 Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need.
