Place God 1st & things will fall into place

Foot notes from the Guys talk - The Every Day Man

1) Our relationship With Christ determines our identity

• Our identity is in Christ and NOT what we are tasked to do
• By making Christ the priority, everything will be taken care of by him
• It's the desire to place God 1st, pursing him and setting aside time to be with him

2) Our relationship With Christ determines our purpose

• Don't follow the patterns of this world
• Don't chase after the rewards
• Don't need to upgrade, following what the world does
• Don't let chasing the world overshadow your call to ministry
• Bear fruit
• Leaving a legacy : touching and impacting people in your life journey
• God's promises & faithfulness will carry us through
• Balancing life style of Family-Ministry-Work : Put God 1st and he'll take care of everything

3) Our relationship With Christ directs us in our life

• Grow spiritually : Do evangelism
• 5 Steps : Read bible, Prayer, Witnessing, Fellow shipping, Ministry
• 5 ways God speaks : Scripture, Holy Spirit, Godly Council, Common sense, Circumstances

Don't reply on yourself, look to God and surrender to him
