2 Cor. 9:10 Now he that ministereth seed to the sower both minister bread for your food, and multiply your seed sown, and increase the fruits of your righteousness;
Heroes. Have you seen the show? It's an exposition of different elements of the glorified body. Each character has a different part (like the ability to heal, to fly), but the body we get after the rapture (or the resurrection) has all the elements they list.
God is calling us to summon the Heroes of the last days. He wants you to become his hero on the street. How do you do that?
Spiritually, we need a devotion to certain disciplines. Let the Bible become your daily manna. Use our Prayer Diary as a spiritual discipline to get close to God. Read–Pray–Meditate. That’s the manna principle.
Financially, you have to set your budget to include stewardship.
Family—we need to study the Bible and ask God to make us a better single, spouse, parent and relative.
Servant: our relationships have to result in reproduction.
On what three levels do you need to be effective as a Hero for Christ?
Level 1. What I can do with my family and myself (the cell level)—that’s addition. We’ll talk about this when we start our series on "Perfecting Parenting" in the Career Class in November.
Level 2. What I can do with my spiritual family and others (the class level)—that’s multiplication. Make sure you come to church and get connected.
Level 3. What we can do together with God (the quantum level)—that’s the synergy and explosion of revival. Seek to be involved in ministry. Help us construct a teen center at Community LINC, 40th and Troost, on Nov. 2-3, or go with us to reconstruct the lower ninth ward of New Orleans next summer (signup online).
To lead on a higher level you need to live on a higher level, love on a higher level, and learn on a higher level. We will teach you, if you are willing to live and love at the next level. Raise it up a notch this Sunday at 9:00 am in the gym.
