Good morning Champion Center anybody happy to be in God’s house
today wow wow wow wow wow the giving party last week was another special time
for us as a church come on I just think we ought to we ought to give ourselves and all the
locations a great big hand today cheer one another on for the generosity in our
house amen amen amen you know let me just remind you the level of generosity in a church is directly related to the
influence and the progress of that church so when you look around and you say you know what we’re moving forward we’re gaining ground people are getting
saved lives are getting changed when you see all that just remember like it’s directly related to the giving habit of
our church family and it all started by the way in the book of Acts in the very beginning of the church you know the
book of Acts records the the beginning of the church and it all started there whenever they they they received an
offering and people came and they sold land and and and they sold possessions and they just came together for a
big over-the-top generous I’ll call it a legacy offering and that’s where it all started and I want to I want to remind
you because of your generosity great things are ahead for us as a church amen
I want to I want to go today we’re going to go into our eighth and final
installment of the series good Pharma I hope you’ve been blessed I hope you’ve been encouraged I hope you have been
reminded of how important it is that we continue to not hold back but seed our
future how about we all just say out loud this this prayer and then we’ll get into it today just say with me my heart’s
open my mind’s ready make me better God by your
word in jesus’ name and everybody shout a great big big
amen okay we’re going to begin today with the graphic on the screen we call it the field of your future and I want
to go back through it today and and let you see it visually uh and and get your head around
it how about you just tell your neighbor say let’s get busy come on just tell them come on pay
attention tell somebody tell somebody around you this can change your life okay now look at the graphic and I
want want you to see first of all your future in the Kingdom like if you see the field I want you to look at the
wrapping or the fence around the field which which represents how we surrender all of us who are believers and we have
come to Christ we surrender our whole life we surrender our future into God’s plan into God’s Will and that’s what it
means to be a part of the the kingdom of God and so I want you to just notice around the perimeter there on the
graphic you’ll see you’ll see things like the Holy Spirit you’ll see things like praise and worship you’ll see
Kingdom being Kingdom Minded uh the word of God having a Biblical worldview and
and all of that represents the idea that our whole lives belong in and are within
in God’s kingdom and we seek first his kingdom we seek first his kingdom we’re
in the world but we are not of the world we respect man but we obey God we are we
are Kingdom Minded people and the territory of our life belongs to God’s
Kingdom on Earth secondly I I want you to notice that the field of your future is separated into five
sections those five sections are your soul which which includes your mind your will and your emotions that what that’s
what your soul is and then your relationships that’s this is your future what’s your marriage going to be like what your family going to be like in the
future thirdly your finances your finances are within the
kingdom of God but how we do in our future is based on how we are prospering
or moving forward in our lives financially and the status of that is going to be determined by the seeds we
seow today the next one is our body or physically what what kind of condition are you going to be in in the future and
the fifth one is your work or your career the things that you do on a daytoday basis as the work God’s given
you to do so those are five sections that we’ve been focusing on that are in
the field of our future the third thing I want you to notice which is where we’ll spend our time today and that is
on the left side of the graphic is the seed silos and the seed silos contain seeds
waiting to be planted by us seeds of
potential that will produce fruit in our life to produce a harvest in our life
this is these seeds are there and I I I love this imagery because a lot of people don’t realize that God has delegated to us Authority and Power in
our own lives and and these are the things that we’re going to talk about today like think about it like this if you would and this is going to go up on
the screen your habits are seeding your future your attitudes are seeding your future your beliefs or your thoughts and
beliefs are seeding your future your choices are
seeding your future and your words are seeding your
future a lot of people don’t know that God sees us as part of the creative
process we are not bystanders we are not simply observers we are people with seeds in
our hands to plant and to harvest in the field of our future I hope you are
hearing this and receiving it today I believe that some of you if you get a hold of this your whole life will be changed the way you approach your life
will be changed and the outcome of your life will be changed I’ve challenged and encouraged you to see your future like
an empty field of opportunity waiting for seeds to be planted there is a ton
of potential in a seed to produce after its kind and create a predictable
harvest in your life and in your future can you shout amen come on can somebody shout yes
okay let’s go back and let’s let’s go through this list today and uh and and talk about it first of all let’s talk
about how your habits are seeding your future your habits are seeding your
future you’re just one habit away from a better
future changing a habit may seem insignificant to you but when you change
a habit you change your future even small habits have
exponential effect over time think about that even small habits
have a large impact in your life as you repeat that
habit over and over again the writer of Psalms described the benefit for example
of being planted in the house of the Lord and here’s how he described it and this goes along with everything we’re talking about with uh you know with good
farmer today he said planted in the house of the Lord they will flourish in the courts of our God he’s describing
what happens for people who get planted like this is a good Pharma like just
getting planted and and he says that when we’re planted in the house of the Lord we will what we will flourish this
is not this is not coming occasionally to the house of the Lord this is not showing up at
Christmas and Easter in the house this is this is planted okay this is talking about habits having a habit of being in
and part of the house of the Lord I watch people who get away from the habit of of church and I watch them struggle
in getting back to the pattern of being planted and at the end of this message
I’m I’m going to pray I just felt like God uh God has encouraged me or told me
today just to pray over people and those who want to be planted in the house of God I’m going to give you an opportunity
I’m going pray with you at the end of of my message today but I I just want you to know that your habits even the small
ones are changing your life and impacting your life for bad or for
good for for me personally I’m I’m never surprised when blessings find me I get
excited and I am thankful but I’ve learned that I can expect
blessings since I’ve lived my life to be a blessing you know I I am by Nature I’ve
said this a lot over the years I’m an introvert and uh I I’ve
made uh i’ I’ve I’ve made the decision to come out of my shell and go out of my
way to make good things happen and to be true to what I believe God has called me
to be and so I encourage people and I give my best to serve
others it’s true I I I have a mission that on earth
like you do and all you know we don’t always feel
comfortable when we are on our mission but I’m true to my mission of locating
and communicating wisdom and I sacrifice to see other people win now I’m not just telling you that to give
myself a pat on the back but here’s where I wanted to go I’m never I’m never really
surprised like I you know in the moment I’m am like wow but I I know in my mind that because of the seed I have
sown that there are blessings that are looking for me and blessings that are
finding me for example I get upgrades on airline tickets with no
explanation you can you can ask the people that work with us and do our our travel they are shocked it just happened
recently like no explanation but favor God favor I get
upgrades in hotel rooms at no extra cost I receive cards of gratitude emails with gift cards on the
inside I’ve sat in restaurants and had strangers pay for my meal and I get ready to pay and they’re like somebody took care of the the the bill already
and I’m looking around I don’t see anybody that I know but my point is that none of this happens by coincidence and
the same things the same kind of blessings happen to other people who
have a habit of sewing good seed and Liv living their life to be a blessing to
others your habits are seeding your future I said your habits are seeding
your future secondly your attitude is seeding your
future the attitude that you put out to the world creates a
harvest your attitude it has a way of of showing up on your face and in your body
language as a message that you you send to the world
around you and then it becomes a harvest in your life it becomes what you
are known for it becomes your reputation it becomes you know what what you carry
when you walk in a room you enter a conversation and if your attitude is ugly your Harvest will be ugly if your attitude is
bad your your Harvest will be bad if the look on your face is not friendly you won’t attract people who are
friendly and and this is one reason why the Bible teaches us a lot about attitude is because you can’t have a
good life with a bad attitude anybody hearing me
today some of you are cringing right now because you know this past week at the grocery store your attitude wasn’t good
you know that in traffic driving this week you got a little bent out of shape and you
regretted you regretted the way not only you felt but maybe something you said or the way the gesture you made to somebody
else in another car I don’t know I’m just telling you that there’s a cringe Factor sometime whenever our attitude is
funky and we realize man that is not that is not the energy I want to put out that is not the attitude that I want to
have the good news is is that you can choose your attitude and when you do choose your
attitude and you change your attitude you will change your future
you don’t have to have a negative attitude you’re not stuck with the attitude that you have the Bible tells us in Ephesians 4 23 it says to be made
new in the attitude of your mind be made new in the attitude somebody shout
attitude come on say it again attitude that means every day is not going to be an easy day some days the
news is not good the conversations will be discouraging but it’s like taking a shower every day yeah you’re going to get dirty and you’re not you know you’re
going to get sweaty and all that go take another shower it’s like race taking your car through a car wash you got to do that with your attitude you got to be
made new in the attitude of your mind like you got to you got to convert back to a right attitude whenever you have a
bad attitude a wrong attitude why because that attitude is a seed that you’re putting out into the world around you and that seed is creating a heart
harvest in the field of your future you know I want to say this to all the young people here today that uh
I know I know technology and I know a lot of people have been educated and a lot of young people are in the fields of technology in different areas in your
life and and uh a lot of young people if you’re not careful you just think that it’s all about your skills when it comes
to your future if you have the right skills then you’re going to be set with the right job the right career and and here’s what you need to understand is
that research shows that the top corporations in the world they prefer attitude over skills hear me on this you
can have great skills and a bad attitude and somebody else can have a great attitude and not yet have the skills and
the great the corporations of the world have overwhelmingly declared they would rather have the right attitude because
if you have the right attitude you can learn the skills but if you have the wrong attitude it really doesn’t matter
your skill levels because you are not a joy to work with and you will always be
a problem in the company got to have the right attitude I’m really talking a lot about this one today because I haven’t had a chance yet to touch on it and I
want to just remind you today that your attitude is a seed you are sewing into the future of your
life I remember my my daughter jod she always would uh she would tell her her
sons K and Cody she would tell them her and Ryan would tell them like like uh put your happy face on you know when they had a when they didn’t have a happy
face she’ tell them put your happy face on put your happy face on and and there was a day whenever you know Cody the youngest he’s he sings and dances and he
kind of lives like a lot of kids he lives in his own world and a lot of times thank God joyful in his imagination and one day jod was rushing
you know I think through a parking lot trying to get him into the car get him buckled up I think they were late going somewhere or something like that and the
story is like this that he’s singing and he’s kind of like doing his own and she’s trying to she’s trying to hurt him Corral him get him in Buckle him in and
she’s buckling him in he’s just a little guy and she’s buckling him into the car seat he looks at her because she’s been
like come on Cody come on I need you come on Cody I need you to get in here I got to get you in here we’re running late and and he looks at her and he says
to her mom put your happy face on when jod told us like we’re just all
laughing because a lot of times we are not aware like we’ll tell everybody else but we’re not aware of our own face and
I want to encourage you today to make sure you do a checkup from the neck up and realize that your attitude is
seeding your future can somebody shout amen okay thirdly your thoughts and your beliefs are seeding your future I talked
a little bit about this so I’ll just touch on it uh talked about it in the series but Jesus told people what you believe is affecting what you
receive what you believe is affecting the outcome or the future in your
life we all need to check our
beliefs we all need to just
examine why do I believe that and I’m not just talking about
deep beliefs or opinions about you know the world right now or theology or
something like that but even in the things that are
just our way our opinion this is how we think remember that your beliefs are
like a ledger they will they will you know a ledger a financial Ledger they will they will on one side they will
they will either they they they will either benefit you they’re either a benefit to
you or they are a cost to you they’re A Plus or they are a minus they add to your life or they take away from your life so the question is what are you
believing about yourself what are you believing about God do do you know in your heart for
example God is good like do you believe like you can trust him you can trust him
put your faith in it do you believe that what are you believing about things
like giving had this great offering time and you know and and people giving just ask yourself if you’re a part of
Champion Center today or even somebody who’s a guest and what what do you think about giving like what is your belief about giving do you believe what Jesus
said that if you give it’s given to you or do you believe something
else your beliefs your thoughts are a are a seed come on I I know I’m I know
I’m helping some of you today that they are a seed seeding your future what you believe today what you buy into today
what you allow yourself to have faith in today or to put your trust in today
is a harvest in your future the next one is this your choices
are seeding your future these are the seed silos we can go to the seed silos and
just like the farmer says okay I’m going to put corn in the field you can go to your seed Silo and you can say I’m going to I’m going to make the right choice
today because this choice is going to seed my future in a way it’s going to give me a harvest in my future that I
want in my future scripture says God says I have set before you life and death blessings and
curses now what now choose somebody shout choose look at your neighbor and say
it’s your choice he says now choose why and I love this so that you and
your children may live we are
seeding our future even generationally we are seeding our future
by the choices that we make so can I just say to you sir choose life
can I say to you Mom you’ve been discouraged you’ve been going through
mental battles emotional struggles choose to overcome choose to elevate your
thoughts come on young person choose to Rejoice not to get caught up in all of
the petty stuff of your generation just choose to Rejoice choose to believe that God is with you that he is making a way
even when there doesn’t seem to be
away wow wow wow we choose to stand up for our family and to fight for our
future we choose to listen to wisdom and follow God’s
instructions in our life why because we have life and we have death we have a
field in our future it’s going to produce one or the other we’re just going to we want to make the right choices so that we get the right harvest
in our lives in the future amen okay I got one more one more everybody
good are you good today come on is this is this helpful the last one is that your words
are seeding your future these are the seed silos your words are seeding your
future in your relationships that’s one that’s one section of your life in your finances
that’s another section of your life in your work that’s another section of your
life like your words everybody say my words your words can create a harvest or
cancel a harvest your words are more than a
sound or just a means of communication words are
seeds words are seeds I said words are seed seeds that always
produce after their
kind pleasant words pleasant words are a
honeycomb the Bible says sweet to the soul and healing to the
bones death and life that’s Proverbs 18 are in the power of the
tongue oh this is a good one talking about seed time and harvest the power of the tongue and
those who love it will what eat its fruits this is what we’re talking
about another one through the blessing of the upright the blessing out of your mouth a
city is exalted Ed you could say a household is exalted say a family is exalted you could say say a church is
exalted what would happen at Champion Center if we just all went around talking negative and discouraging and
picking things apart and focusing on stuff you know that didn’t go right
today or the person at the door who you know said something to us and now we’re UPS what if everybody just started like
now picking on the sermon I thought he he he did good but I don’t like the way he does that sometimes he gets really
loud when he’s talking I just wish he would calm now what if we had a church like that thank God we don’t but I I’m
just saying today that this is what happens in a city the Bible says but it that that means in your house in your
family in your marriage in your church wherever you are through the blessing of the upright the city the church the
family is exalted let’s do one more verse it says let the weakling say I am strong Joel 3 and 10 let the weak say
doesn’t say let the weak say it doesn’t say let the weak admit it like admit that they’re wrong that’s not what the Bible says the Bible says let the weak
say I am strong so hear me when I tell you this
today talking sickness won’t make you well talking defeat won’t bring you
Victory talking poor won’t help you
prosper if you need help in your life you’re going through a struggle just say I’m getting I’m
getting help rather than diving deep into constantly talking about the
struggle get a counselor get advisors alongside your prayer make sure your
confession is that I am changing my ways like I’m going to I’m going to rise
up and we’re going to have a different future because of the decisions I’m making today if you need better health
start talking about Healthy Living if you want to be an overcomer start talking about winning and
overcoming just say the goal like like this this is this is where we’re going this is where we’re going in our lives and our future this is what we’re
believing God for talk about what you’re believing for and just describe it as the
future that you are seeding in your life don’t hold back seed your future don’t
hold back seed your future do you receive the word today come on just give the Lord a great
big hand at all of our locations today God bless you God bless you in yakal God
bless you in deont God bless you in B God bless you online God bless you here
in t coma may this message may it have a
lasting impact I pray on your life today I want to close a a little bit
different this weekend and I want to I want to just
uh have two two ways that I invite you to make decisions or two decisions I want to invite you to today if you’ve
been passive or inactive this whole series has been about don’t hold back seed your future
and I I I want you if you would just to if you say it quietly or out loud just pray for a holy hustle right now to
invade your spirit will you do that will you just people all around the room will you just
like lean into this and say I have I have been passive I have been lethargic I have not I have not been
seeding my future and I know that’s up to me today I want to encourage you to just
stir up and become active stir up that potential that is inside of you that’s
what the older Apostle said to younger Timothy he said stir up the gift of God in you like Stir It
Up and that’s really what this Series has been intended to do is to encourage you today don’t hold
back don’t hold back don’t hold back seed seed grab the seed the rice
seed and Scatter it and put it into the field of your future so I want to pray for two groups of
people today and first of all I want to pray for those who are holding back and
pray for those who are stuck in a holding pattern and the the first one is this if if God LED you here to this house to
this church and you know you belong but you have held back and in your heart of Hearts right
now you know it’s time to be planted the hesitation is not of God
that’s me that’s my flesh I’ve been putting off what I need to just go ahead
and do God brought me here I know it pastor Kevin I’m going to ask you to raise your
hand wherever you are in the room just put a hand up high if you would I bless you today
I speak in the name of Jesus a new
holy hustle on your life I Proclaim in the name of
Jesus the power to choose to break break out of any kind of hesitation or pattern
and it become part get planted in the house of God the Lord
today and now for those who I’ve just been praying for I’m going to ask you if that you your hand is up just say with
me say Lord Jesus today I am
planted starting now this is my house this is where I’ll be
planted this is where I will grow blessings are
coming on my life and on my future I boldly
declare I will flourish come on say it I will flourish in the house of the
Lord God bless you today I I sense and feel people that God is either bringing
for the first time into the house or God is bringing people back to his house whether it’s this church that you were a
part of or another one but if you’re a child of God you belong in the house of God and I just love that in this moment
you’re surrendering to God’s plan and God’s will and I declare with you you’re going to flourish in the house of the
Lord secondly I want to lead you in a Prayer of Salvation a prayer of new beginnings in your life and if this is
your next step I just want to invite you right now put a hand up or both of them up in the air you say I I want a new
beginning I want a fresh start in my relationship with God just raise a hand wherever you are whatever room what what whatever space you’re in right now even
online locations just raise that hand up in the air and we’re all going to pray this together say it out loud if you would say Lord
Jesus welcome to my world forgive me of all all my sin come into my
life and make me a new person today I receive you as the
leader and the Lord Of My Life I’ll never be the same
again in Jesus name I want to be the first to welcome
you today to the family of God come on Church let’s just celebrate
