From Overlooked to Anointed
I. God is watching when no one else is.(1 Samuel 16:10-11,NKJV)
II. God does the choosing and calling, while you do the living and loving God.
III. Live and love to please God, not man.(1 Thessalonians 2:4,CEV)
IV. The one you strive to please when no one is watching, when no one knows what you’re doing, reveals who you truly are.
Your character is what you do when no one but God sees you.
V. Don’t seek your fulfillment from the actions of others. Instead, find it in what God is doing and saying! (1 Samuel 16:12-13,NKJV)
VI. Don’t let you and your family miss all God is doing and trying to do in your life.(Mark 6:1-5,NIV)
When you take up an offense, it blinds you to the truth. Many times, God will work in a great way in your life, yet those closest to you will miss out on it.
VII. What your earthly father can’t give you, your heavenly Father can.(Psalm 27:10,CEV, NKJV)
If you look at anyone or anything other than God for approval, encouragement, comfort, or confidence, that is your god and you will be disappointed.
VIII. The difference between having God as your Father figure versus man as your father figure.
Confidence and courage come from God.
