  3. Recap God’s people, redeemed by Jesus, filled with the Holy Spirit Destiny | Purpose – serve God | seek His Kingdom | share faith Called to be different – salt and light Deliberate, planned and intentional – we’re not here by accident God isn’t hiding; He’s near to each one of us (Acts 17:27) We’re His agents, ambassadors, advocates Core values – real | relevant | relational Influence and Impact our community required commitment and determination Creativity Breakout & Breakthrough mentality Accountability

  4. 1Chronicles 4:9&10 (NIVUK) Jabez was more honourable than his brothers. His mother had named him Jabez, saying, “I gave birth to him in pain.” Jabezcried out to the God of Israel, “Oh, that you would bless me and enlarge my territory! Let your hand be with me, and keep me from harm so that I will be free from pain.” And God granted his request. An unknown from nowhere Mentioned only once Honourable Someone special – God grants his request Radical prayer

  5. Jabez “O that You would bless me and enlarge my territory” Selfish? Wanted God’s blessing and placed his dependency on God’s goodness Honourable | Integrity | Trustworthy God grants his request Recalibrate how we pray “Blessing” means to ask for supernatural favour “Our minds are like concrete –thoroughly mixed up and permanently set” • Proverbs 10:22 (Message) • “God's blessing makes life rich; nothing we do can improve on God”

  6. Questions Do we miss out on God’s blessing because we don’t ask for it? When was the last time you unconditionally asked God for favour on your life? Are we honourable in our dealings with God and with other people?

  7. 2Corinthians 9:10-11 (NIVUK) Now He who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will also supply and increase your store of seed and will enlarge the harvest of your righteousness. You will be made rich in every way so that you can be generous on every occasion, and through us your generosity will result in thanksgiving to God Made rich in every way Generous on every occasion Generosity results in thanksgiving to God

  8. 2Corinthians 9:8 (NIVUK) God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work

  9. 2Corinthians 9:8 (NIVUK) God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work

  10. 2Corinthians 9:8 (NIVUK) God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work

  11. 2Corinthians 9:8 (NIVUK) God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work

  12. 2Corinthians 9:8 (NIVUK) God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work

  13. Dependence on God My skills, talents and abilities + my experience + my training + my personality + the good/bad things that have happened to me + the expectations of others = the calling for my life My willingness + my weakness + His power and provision = His calling on my life Matthew 6:33 (NIVUK) “Seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well”

  14. Questions Where is my motivation and focus – on me or God’s kingdom? What does righteousness mean to me and how am I applying it to my life?

  15. Application “Be holy, because I am holy”(1Peter 1:15-16) • Different • Separate • Distinctive • Sacred • Devoted • Sanctity
