DAY ONE | What can you give to God?

DAY ONE | WHAT CAN YOU GIVE TO GOD?

JOB 35 : 7 – If you are righteous, what do you give Him? Or what does He receive from your hand.”

Welcome to 70 DAYS TO EXCEL.

Much of what you will achieve in this special season will be dependent upon your ability to do the following three things.

a. FOCUS – on what you really want to achieve in life

b. YIELD – yield yourself to the living God.

C. APPLY – the discipline factor must be awakened.

However in all our doing and applying – it is absolutely imperative that we yield our lives to the living God.

The more you yield to His purposes, the more He will entrust to you.

God does not need some trinket made with human hands or some amount of money gleaned from the work of your hands.

Ultimately everything we do should be offered back to God as a gift. We should live our whole lives as a gift to our great creator.

We are created to be useful beings both to God and to our fellow man.

It is helpful to commence EXCEL70 with the consciousness that we exist to offer Him our lives as sacrifices that are pleasing in His sight.

Such sacrifices are not just our offerings in church each weekend.

To live a life filled with the noble intention of pleasing God means that we have “got it”.

We have caught on to life’s real purpose. To live the way God intended us to.

You see God has made us to be “creators not consumers.”

The “net” result of our lives should show that we have produced more than we have consumed, and in so doing have lived in the image of God.

In this 70 day season determine to give God a gift, by living in such a manner that you are a creator and supplier of good things for God and others, rather than just consuming His creation on your own needs and desires.

PRACTICAL ADVICE

1. Sit down with pen and paper and write down your life dreams. Don’t put time frames on anything, but just dream about the call of God on your life and the gifts He has given you to fufil your call.

2. Be intentional and faith filled. Ask God to give you clarity as to what can be achieved through one life dedicated to God’s purposes.

3. Spend some time thanking God for His call upon your life. You will never see all that God has prepared for them that love Him, but you will see enough of His plan to be overawed and thankful.

4. Keep the list of dreams for day two of EXCEL70.
