Emerging Life

Your greatest victories will follow your greatest battles if you do not lose heart.

We will meet today at 10:10 AM, 30 Del Mar Circle in Aurora, Colorado.  

Our lives should be a great adventure that calls us to see our God-given vision.  This vision will inspire us to get up and move.  This vision is not about material. This vision is about a life that matters.  It is a life of effectiveness.  When we live this life, we are living a life of worship.

True life starts with understanding John 10:10.  This life is more than just waking up and calling yourself “alive.”  It’s about living life to the fullest.  It’s about living all that God has for you. 

L – Liberty

On March 23, 1775 Patrick Henry said: “Give me liberty or give me death.”  We must understand that we can not live to the fullest without liberty.  Liberty comes by a free life in Holy Spirit (“Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.”  II Cor. 3:17).

I – Identity

Do you really know your identity?  If you know who you are, and you know where you are going, someone will follow you! 

F – Fight

You really know that you are alive by understanding your “fight” (the cause you are living for; what you are willing to fight for)!  What would you say is the fight of your life?  Is your time focused on that fight or something else? 

E – Expectation

If you are going to fight, then you should expect to win.   In Christ, we win the fight as we live in the fullness of life that we are called to live.

LIVE LIFE TO THE FULLEST. 

Excel _Excelling _Excellence
David excelled in his faith and work before Samuel and was anointed King. He then continued to excel in every-day tasks (shepherding) after being anointed as king. He excelled in standing before Saul. He excelled even when he was chased. David would excel when given a task. He continued in a life of excelling in all that he did before the LORD, and then he stepped up to a level of excellence in ushering in the golden age of Israel. David’s son wrote the following:
Proverbs 22:29 “Do you see a man who excels in his work? He will stand before kings; He will not stand before unknown men.”
Excellent work will bring you before excellent people who bring excellent opportunities.
Emerging leaders move from the place where they excel at a task to excelling in a season of life, then living a life of excellence.
Excel – “Do you see a man who excels in his work?”It does not matter what their current position, pay, or place is, they choose to excel. Emerging leaders are not caught up in worrying about how they did yesterday. They realize that yesterday’s mistakes have lead them to an opportunity for success today. Emerging leaders are not lost in the clouds of tomorrow. They have vision, but they know that they must excel in what they are doing right now! Emerging leaders excel at the small thing they have in front of them.
Excelling – “He will stand before kings.”
God’s word will not return void. You will walk right into divine appointments that lead to divine opportunities when you excel. Divine appointments come as a result of obeying in an excellent way. They are on God’s calendar. It not a quick fix or an easy thing. The passage says “he will stand before kings.” It does not communicate that this occurred immediately. Excelling is a process.
Excellence – “He will not stand before unknown men.”
If you are standing around getting caught up in common talk with unknown men you will find yourself becoming a common unknown person. Unknown men will merely glance at your excellence but not necessarily inquire how to become excellent. Don’t get caught up standing around the water cooler when you have a life of excellence to pursue. No one takes notice of ordinary. You are called to do extraordinary things in ordinary situations.
