Growth Connection

TGIF -Thank God its Friday. The reason Christians say this is because Sunday is coming. Yes, I can't wait till Sunday. God is so good. I pray all had an awesome week and if you didn't, then come to Sunday Service and you will have an awesome week next week. 

I wanted to talk to you about growth connection.

The bible tells us in 2 Corinthians 3:6 (King James Version) Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.

In life there are three types of people.

1. Man Made. - These are people that move on the influence of other people around them. They are always allowing other people to influence them to do things. These people always ask you what did you pay for that. I want that. They never really want to pay the price for anything. 

2. Self Made- These are people who depend on no one but there own self. They always say the burden always rest on me. No one around this office ever does anything. Some people that have economically succeed into the millionaire spectrum will say I am self made million. The fact is not true. No one is able to accomplish anything outside the principles, patterns, and precepts in the word of God. A person might not know Jesus as there personal Savior, but every one that is successful in there area of expertise has used the principles, and patterns in the word of God to succeed. 

Finally.

3. God Made. This person has allowed God to cultivate them. They had been through the waves and tosses of life, but have not neglected God in any way. They say as it states in 1 Peter 5:10 (New International Version)

 ¹⁰And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast.

This person knows how to count the cost and pay whatever the price. They are willing to give God all the glory. Yes they worked hard and yes the invested and were at the right place at the right time, with the right people, but they we made to be able to keep what God had invested in them.

-One of the worst things that can ever happen to an individual is that there success proceeds there development of there character.

God Bless,
