Speaker 4: our services. I promise you we'll make you feel right

43
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 4: at home. I like to start with something funny, and

44
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:06,920
Speaker 4: I heard about this little girl. She was sitting in

45
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:10,920
Speaker 4: her grandfather's lap. She noticed how wrinkled his face was.

46
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:16,239
Speaker 4: As she contemplated the difference between his and hers, she said, Grandaddy,

47
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:19,919
Speaker 4: did God make you? He kind of laughed and said, yes, honey,

48
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 4: he made me a long time ago. She then asked,

49
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 4: did God make me? He said, yes, he made you

50
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 4: just a little while ago. She thought about it a moment, said, Granddaddy.

51
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 4: God's getting better, isn't he say like you mean it?

52
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:37,839
Speaker 4: This is my Bible. I am what it says I am.

53
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:40,720
Speaker 4: I have what it says I have. I can do

54
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 4: what it says I can do. Today I will be

55
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:47,600
Speaker 4: taught the word of God. I boldly confess. My mind

56
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:50,920
Speaker 4: is alert, my heart is receptive. I will never be

57
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 4: the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you. I want

58
00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 4: to talk to you today about serve your way up.

59
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:04,679
Speaker 4: We all want to rise higher, accomplish our dreams, overcome obstacles,

60
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 4: but as long as we're only focused on ourselves, will

61
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 4: get stuck. God brings people and opportunities across our path,

62
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:16,960
Speaker 4: so we can be a blessing. When you take time

63
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:21,079
Speaker 4: to serve, you bring that elderly neighbor food each week,

64
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:24,120
Speaker 4: you clean up at the office, even though you didn't

65
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:27,680
Speaker 4: make the mess you mentor that young man that doesn't

66
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:31,720
Speaker 4: have a father. That's what allows God to take you higher.

67
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 4: When you serve others, a new level of fever is released.

68
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:39,560
Speaker 4: We think we have to work our way to the top.

69
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:42,880
Speaker 4: The truth is you can serve your way to the top.

70
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 4: The scripture says when Job prayed for his friends, he

71
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:52,440
Speaker 4: got well. When he served others, he went higher. Something

72
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:56,640
Speaker 4: powerful happens when you get your mind off yourself and

73
00:03:56,680 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 4: you go out and do good for somebody else. Are

74
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 4: you serving anyone besides you? Are you doing something for

75
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:09,920
Speaker 4: others outside of what your job requires. Growing up, we

76
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 4: knew this older gentleman named mister Davis. He'd been attending

77
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:17,119
Speaker 4: Lakewood since I was a little boy. He was very

78
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:20,599
Speaker 4: kind and friendly. When I was in my late teens,

79
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 4: I was driving home from church one Sunday afternoon. I

80
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 4: noticed he was pulled over on the side of the

81
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:31,000
Speaker 4: road on this main residential street. He was in his eighties,

82
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:33,359
Speaker 4: and I thought something was wrong, maybe he had a

83
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 4: flat tire. So I turned around to go check it out.

84
00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:39,080
Speaker 4: I got out of my car and said, brother Davis,

85
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:42,200
Speaker 4: do you need some help? He was getting something out

86
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:45,440
Speaker 4: of his trunk, he said, no, Joel, I noticed the

87
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:49,240
Speaker 4: other day that this street sign is covered with vines.

88
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 4: You can hardly read it. So I brought my lawn

89
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:55,800
Speaker 4: equipment to clean it up. He opened his trunk. He

90
00:04:55,880 --> 00:05:00,160
Speaker 4: had his tremors, a garden hoe, some plastic bags. The

91
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:03,800
Speaker 4: next couple of hours he worked cleaning up the sign

92
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 4: everything around him. At eighteen years old, that made such

93
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:11,719
Speaker 4: an impression on me. I thought he didn't have to

94
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:15,240
Speaker 4: do that, wasn't his job. He could have waited for

95
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:19,880
Speaker 4: the city to trim it. But Brother Davis lived to serve.

96
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:23,719
Speaker 4: He was always looking for ways to be a blessing.

97
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:27,760
Speaker 4: Maybe that's why he was so happy. Maybe that's why

98
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:31,839
Speaker 4: he lived a long, healthy life. When you focus not

99
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:36,160
Speaker 4: just on accomplishing your dreams, but on being a blessing,

100
00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:39,920
Speaker 4: on serving others, then you're going to have more joy,

101
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:43,880
Speaker 4: live more fulfilled. And the reason some people are not

102
00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:48,599
Speaker 4: happy is all they think about is themselves, my dreams,

103
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:52,960
Speaker 4: my goals, my problems, my family. I say this respectfully.

104
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:56,760
Speaker 4: You need to take a break from you. It's not

105
00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:59,760
Speaker 4: healthy to have you on your mind all the time.

106
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:04,120
Speaker 4: Take a break from what's bothering you. Take a break

107
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:07,480
Speaker 4: from what you want from what you're believing for and

108
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 4: go be good to somebody else. When you serve others,

109
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:16,520
Speaker 4: that's a seed you're sewing. God will make sure people

110
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:19,760
Speaker 4: are good to you. But if you're not getting any

111
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:23,280
Speaker 4: good breaks, you need to ask yourself, am I giving

112
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:27,200
Speaker 4: any good breaks? Am I showing people favor? Am I

113
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:30,159
Speaker 4: just doing what's required? Or am I going the extra

114
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:35,719
Speaker 4: mile and serving? Isaiah said, when you feed the hungry,

115
00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:39,720
Speaker 4: when you clothe the neked, when you help those in need,

116
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:43,560
Speaker 4: then your light will break forth like the dawn, and

117
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:48,120
Speaker 4: your healing will quickly come. Too often we're waiting for

118
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:51,040
Speaker 4: the light to break forth. We're waiting for the healing,

119
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:54,680
Speaker 4: the promotion, the new level. The question is have we

120
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:58,520
Speaker 4: done the first part? Have we served someone? Have we

121
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:02,320
Speaker 4: been a blessing? When that coworker has to put their

122
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:05,039
Speaker 4: car in the shop, Hey, let me swing by and

123
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:07,680
Speaker 4: pick you up. I can bring you to work this week.

124
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:12,040
Speaker 4: You just serve someone. That single mom that's struggling to

125
00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:14,920
Speaker 4: pay a rent. Hey, let me buy your groceries this month.

126
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:19,440
Speaker 4: You just fed the hungry. That young colleague that doesn't

127
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:22,920
Speaker 4: understand the computer program, Hey, let me stay late and

128
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 4: teach you what I know I'll help you to learn.

129
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:29,200
Speaker 4: When you make it your business to serve, you're going

130
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:33,600
Speaker 4: to see breakthroughs, promotion, doors open that you couldn't open.

131
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:37,680
Speaker 4: Nobody may have seen what brother Davis did that day.

132
00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 4: Nobody may have stopped to thank him. Nobody reimbursed him

133
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:46,960
Speaker 4: for his supplies. Here's the key. God sees everything. He's

134
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:51,160
Speaker 4: keeping the records. The scripture says what you do in secret,

135
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:55,040
Speaker 4: God will reward in the open. Don't worry if you're

136
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 4: not getting credit. Don't get discouraged if people don't thank

137
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:03,240
Speaker 4: you God. God sees your sacrifice. He sees you buying

138
00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:06,960
Speaker 4: supplies for your students. He sees you taking care of

139
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:10,000
Speaker 4: that friend that's not well. He sees you getting up

140
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:13,160
Speaker 4: early to come sing in the choir. God knows how

141
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:16,160
Speaker 4: to thank you. He knows how to open the windows

142
00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:20,400
Speaker 4: of heaven. You can't be good to somebody without God

143
00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:23,440
Speaker 4: being good back to you. That's not the reason we

144
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:26,280
Speaker 4: do it. It's just the way God is. When you give,

145
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:29,680
Speaker 4: he gives you more back. When you show favor, he

146
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:33,679
Speaker 4: shows you more favor. I think about all the volunteers

147
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:38,559
Speaker 4: that make Lakewood work each week, ushers, greeters, prayer partners,

148
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:42,200
Speaker 4: people that visit the sick in the hospital, that go

149
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:46,240
Speaker 4: up to the prisons, that help those in addictions and recovery.

150
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:51,200
Speaker 4: Thousands of people that come early and stay late on

151
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:55,320
Speaker 4: their day off. They've already worked forty hours. They could

152
00:08:55,360 --> 00:09:00,240
Speaker 4: be at home, resting, running errands, enjoying hobbies and ed.

153
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:05,400
Speaker 4: What are they doing serving, helping others, giving Some of

154
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:08,960
Speaker 4: you volunteers. I have never said thank you to in person,

155
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:12,280
Speaker 4: one on one, and of course I am very grateful.

156
00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:15,640
Speaker 4: But the truth is you don't have to have my thanks.

157
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:19,160
Speaker 4: I don't control the universe. When the Most High God

158
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:22,520
Speaker 4: thanks you, things will happen that you couldn't make happen.

159
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:28,040
Speaker 4: His blessing will take you where you've never dreamed. Sometimes

160
00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:31,440
Speaker 4: we don't want to serve because it seems so small

161
00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:35,120
Speaker 4: and so insignificant. But on the way to the big

162
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:38,480
Speaker 4: things God has in store, he will test us with

163
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:43,439
Speaker 4: small things. Don't discount trimming the vines off a street sign.

164
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:47,160
Speaker 4: Don't talk yourself out of going the extra mile and

165
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:51,560
Speaker 4: serving your family, getting up early, taking care of the children,

166
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:55,839
Speaker 4: making sure everything's all right. Nobody may be saying thank you.

167
00:09:56,240 --> 00:10:00,400
Speaker 4: It feels unnoticed. God sees what you're doing. That's what

168
00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 4: leads to new levels. Maybe you're working at a job

169
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:07,040
Speaker 4: that you feel is beneath you. You know you have

170
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:10,880
Speaker 4: more in you. It's tempting to think, when I get promoted,

171
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:13,840
Speaker 4: when a new door opens, then I'll be my best.

172
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 4: Then I'll give it my alle You have to first

173
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:20,679
Speaker 4: serve where you are with a good attitude. If you

174
00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:25,280
Speaker 4: will excel in that small position, do more than you

175
00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:29,640
Speaker 4: have to, then God will open something bigger. Or maybe

176
00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:31,960
Speaker 4: you want to be in ministry. You want to do

177
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:35,960
Speaker 4: something significant, but the church isn't looking for a pastor.

178
00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:40,000
Speaker 4: They need volunteers in the children's church. We think I

179
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:42,680
Speaker 4: don't want to take care of kids, Joe, I do

180
00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:44,839
Speaker 4: that all week with my own children. I want to

181
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:48,720
Speaker 4: be on the platform. It may seem small, but it's

182
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:51,960
Speaker 4: a key to you rising higher. It may not be

183
00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:55,400
Speaker 4: the main thing in your heart, but it's leading to

184
00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:59,680
Speaker 4: the main thing. You can't skip that step and reach

185
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:04,160
Speaker 4: your destiny. Success is not an elevator, it's a set

186
00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:08,400
Speaker 4: of stairs. God leads a step by step. Will you

187
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:13,319
Speaker 4: serve even though it seems insignificant. This is what David did.

188
00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:16,360
Speaker 4: He was anointed to be the next king of Israel.

189
00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:20,320
Speaker 4: When he was seventeen years old, the prophet Samuel came

190
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:24,600
Speaker 4: to his house unannounced and chose him over his seven

191
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:28,760
Speaker 4: older brothers. He knew he was destined to do great things.

192
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:32,559
Speaker 4: God put this promise in his heart. But David didn't

193
00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:35,760
Speaker 4: go to the palace. He went back to the shepherd's

194
00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:38,440
Speaker 4: fields to take care of sheep, like he had done

195
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:42,520
Speaker 4: for years. One day, his father asked him to take

196
00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:46,680
Speaker 4: some sandwiches and cheese to his brothers, who were in

197
00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:50,840
Speaker 4: another city in the army. David could have thought, Dad,

198
00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:54,320
Speaker 4: I'm not an errand boy, I'm not a gopher. I'm

199
00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:57,679
Speaker 4: a king. You saw Samuel annoint me. I'm not gonna

200
00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:00,840
Speaker 4: serve my brothers. They should be bringing me food. He

201
00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:05,000
Speaker 4: could have been too proud to do a small thing. Instead.

202
00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:08,800
Speaker 4: The next morning, he set out with the lunches. When

203
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:13,240
Speaker 4: he arrived at their camp, he heard Goliath, the champion

204
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:18,440
Speaker 4: of the Philistine army, taunting the Israelites. If David had

205
00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:22,680
Speaker 4: not been willing to serve in a small area taking

206
00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:27,280
Speaker 4: his brother lunches, he would have never met Goliath. His

207
00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:32,560
Speaker 4: purpose was hidden in what seemed to be insignificant. You

208
00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:36,080
Speaker 4: have to be willing to do something small before God

209
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:40,200
Speaker 4: will trust you with something great. David was led into

210
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:45,160
Speaker 4: his destiny by delivering a sandwich. You would think when

211
00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:48,120
Speaker 4: God anointed him king, he would say, David, the next

212
00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:51,360
Speaker 4: step is to go meet with the commander of the army,

213
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:56,000
Speaker 4: go to the palace and strategize with the military leaders. Instead,

214
00:12:56,080 --> 00:13:00,280
Speaker 4: God said, the next step take your brother's lunch. I

215
00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:03,800
Speaker 4: wonder if a new level is waiting for you in

216
00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:09,600
Speaker 4: what seems insignificant. Don't put off opportunities to do good

217
00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:14,080
Speaker 4: to those around you, to serve people like David. You

218
00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:17,360
Speaker 4: may have bigger things in your heart. What's in front

219
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:21,200
Speaker 4: of you doesn't line up with your vision. David thought,

220
00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:24,400
Speaker 4: I'm a king, not a delivery man. You don't know

221
00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:29,160
Speaker 4: where that small step is leading. Your purpose could be

222
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:33,360
Speaker 4: waiting for you in your next act of service. That

223
00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:37,640
Speaker 4: could be where you meet your Goliath. David was talking

224
00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:40,800
Speaker 4: with some people in the army. He found out there

225
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:45,520
Speaker 4: was a huge reward for defeating Goliath. Whoever killed him

226
00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:49,240
Speaker 4: would get one of the king's daughters as their wife,

227
00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:53,199
Speaker 4: plus their whole family would be exempt from paying taxes.

228
00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:57,120
Speaker 4: David was so excited he couldn't believe it. It's one

229
00:13:57,160 --> 00:13:59,760
Speaker 4: thing to not have to pay taxes, but when you

230
00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:04,920
Speaker 4: met Mary, the King's daughter, that means your status would change.

231
00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:09,200
Speaker 4: David came from a common family. They were shepherds, but

232
00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:13,400
Speaker 4: with one defeat he could become royalty. That would change

233
00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:18,080
Speaker 4: his family line forever. When King Saul heard that this

234
00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:22,840
Speaker 4: young man David was interested in fighting Goliath, the scripture

235
00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:27,480
Speaker 4: says Saul sent for David. He had somebody bring him

236
00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:31,840
Speaker 4: in here. David went simply to bring a lunch, and

237
00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:35,960
Speaker 4: now he's standing in the presence of the king. It's

238
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:40,720
Speaker 4: amazing what can happen when you, sir, just being faithful,

239
00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:44,920
Speaker 4: just doing something that seems small. You don't know when

240
00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:48,720
Speaker 4: you're going to get called in. Promotion doesn't come from people.

241
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:52,200
Speaker 4: It comes from the Lord. When it's your time, God

242
00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:55,120
Speaker 4: will cause you to be seen. He'll cause you to

243
00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:57,760
Speaker 4: be at the right place. He'll cause you to be

244
00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:02,040
Speaker 4: called in. David went out with a slingshot, slung the

245
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:08,080
Speaker 4: rock and defeated Goliath. Overnight he became royalty. He went

246
00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:12,680
Speaker 4: from struggling being poor to having more than enough, not

247
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:16,880
Speaker 4: just him, but his whole family. There are moments in

248
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:23,480
Speaker 4: your future where like David. Because you're serving, giving, helping others,

249
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:27,440
Speaker 4: God is going to suddenly thrust you to a new level.

250
00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:31,680
Speaker 4: God knows how to change your status. He knows how

251
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:35,600
Speaker 4: to bump you up to another dimension. One touch of

252
00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:39,160
Speaker 4: his favor. It not only affects you, but it impacts

253
00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:42,240
Speaker 4: your whole family. And you may not see how this

254
00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:46,400
Speaker 4: can happen. Neither did David. He was just delivering a lunch,

255
00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:50,440
Speaker 4: serving in what seemed like a small area. You don't

256
00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:53,560
Speaker 4: know what God is up to. You keep being faithful.

257
00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:56,600
Speaker 4: God's going to make things happen that you never dreamed

258
00:15:56,600 --> 00:16:02,360
Speaker 4: would happen. What's interesting is and deliver the lunches looking

259
00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:06,080
Speaker 4: for an opportunity. He didn't go thinking maybe I'll get

260
00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:09,760
Speaker 4: a good break, maybe I'll make an important contact, maybe

261
00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:13,360
Speaker 4: I'll meet the king. He didn't have his own agenda.

262
00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:18,080
Speaker 4: He wasn't trying to manipulate things. He was just faithfully serving,

263
00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:22,680
Speaker 4: doing what his father asked, and the opportunity came to him.

264
00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:27,680
Speaker 4: When you serve others, you are serving God, You are

265
00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:31,640
Speaker 4: honoring him. You don't have to make things happen. You

266
00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:34,240
Speaker 4: don't have to try to convince people to like you,

267
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:37,960
Speaker 4: talk them in to opening a door. You just keep

268
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:41,600
Speaker 4: being your best where you are going the extra mile,

269
00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:45,080
Speaker 4: and the blessing will come to you, the promotion, the

270
00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:50,280
Speaker 4: right people, the favor it will find you. For seventeen

271
00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:53,680
Speaker 4: years I served my father behind the scenes here at

272
00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:58,280
Speaker 4: Lakewood doing the television production. I wasn't trying to become

273
00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:02,280
Speaker 4: a pastor. I looking for this position. I was happy

274
00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:06,320
Speaker 4: where I was. I would spend hours tweaking the lighting

275
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:10,679
Speaker 4: and adjusting the camera angles, doing all I could to

276
00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:13,919
Speaker 4: make my father look good. I would go to his

277
00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:17,320
Speaker 4: house every week and pick out a suit and tie

278
00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:21,480
Speaker 4: for him to wear on television on Sundays. For several

279
00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:25,520
Speaker 4: years when we owned a station, every Saturday I would

280
00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:27,640
Speaker 4: have to go to the station and pick up these

281
00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:31,160
Speaker 4: seven large recorders, load them into my truck, bring them

282
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:34,240
Speaker 4: to the church, get them all hooked up. I never

283
00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:36,639
Speaker 4: thought much about it. I was just doing what needed

284
00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:40,600
Speaker 4: to be done. But God is watching to see how

285
00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:45,240
Speaker 4: we respond in the difficult times. When we could slack off,

286
00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:49,040
Speaker 4: we could be sour. You have to be faithful in

287
00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:53,000
Speaker 4: the wilderness before God will take you into the promised land.

288
00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:58,400
Speaker 4: When you keep serving with excellence, serving when no one

289
00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:02,720
Speaker 4: is watching on your day off serving when it doesn't

290
00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:06,880
Speaker 4: look like it will ever change. Then one day, like David,

291
00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:10,880
Speaker 4: you will come into a destiny moment. Will God will

292
00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:15,160
Speaker 4: open a door bigger than you've imagined. Nineteen ninety nine,

293
00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:19,639
Speaker 4: my father unexpectedly went to be with the Lord. That

294
00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:23,639
Speaker 4: was like my Goliath moment. I was never expecting to

295
00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:26,719
Speaker 4: be in front of the camera, but God suddenly thrust

296
00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:30,040
Speaker 4: me into this position. It's taking me further than I've

297
00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:34,920
Speaker 4: ever dreamed. But it all started behind the scenes, when

298
00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:38,240
Speaker 4: nobody was watching. When I was doing what I could

299
00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:41,360
Speaker 4: to make my father look good, not trying to get

300
00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:46,040
Speaker 4: the credit, not trying to manipulate things, thinking maybe Daddy

301
00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:48,800
Speaker 4: one day will choose me, maybe one day I'll be

302
00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:54,000
Speaker 4: in charge. I was simply faithfully serving my father's vision.

303
00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:57,800
Speaker 4: You may have a dream to have your own business

304
00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:01,479
Speaker 4: or have your own ministry, but right now you're working

305
00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:06,520
Speaker 4: for someone else. You're in approving season. You need to

306
00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:10,439
Speaker 4: do all you can to help that company succeed. Do

307
00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:14,359
Speaker 4: all this in your ability to help that ministry flourish.

308
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:17,679
Speaker 4: Don't wait till you get what you want. If you

309
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:20,639
Speaker 4: don't give it your best where you are, that door

310
00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:24,400
Speaker 4: won't open for you. I've heard it said you have

311
00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:28,560
Speaker 4: to carry a crown before you can wear one. You

312
00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:31,879
Speaker 4: have to serve someone else with excellence. You have to

313
00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:36,040
Speaker 4: help build their dream, help them succeed. Well, Joel, I

314
00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:39,080
Speaker 4: want somebody to serve me, want someone to help me

315
00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:44,879
Speaker 4: be successful. The scripture says, if you're not faithful to

316
00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:48,480
Speaker 4: that which belongs to another man, who will give you

317
00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:51,800
Speaker 4: your own. Every day you go to work with a

318
00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:55,480
Speaker 4: good attitude and give it your all. Every time you

319
00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:59,280
Speaker 4: sing in the choir, usher someone to their seats, every

320
00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:02,320
Speaker 4: time you help that friend with their project, you are

321
00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:07,000
Speaker 4: being faithful to another person's dream. You're showing God that

322
00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:10,280
Speaker 4: he could trust you with your own. God has a

323
00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:14,080
Speaker 4: crown for you. He wants you to rise higher, give

324
00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:19,080
Speaker 4: you more influence opportunity than you've ever seen. The question is,

325
00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:23,560
Speaker 4: are you carrying somebody else's crown? Are you helping somebody

326
00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:28,760
Speaker 4: else succeed, sewing into their dream, maybe serving in their ministry.

327
00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:34,320
Speaker 4: One King's nineteen God told the prophet Elijah to anoint

328
00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:38,920
Speaker 4: a young man named Elisha as his replacement. He saw

329
00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:42,000
Speaker 4: Elisha out plowing in the field. He went over and

330
00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:45,800
Speaker 4: threw his cloak on him. It represented his mantle. It

331
00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:49,640
Speaker 4: was an invitation for Elisha to work for him. Maybe

332
00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:52,840
Speaker 4: Elisha had a dream of being in ministry. This was

333
00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:56,720
Speaker 4: his big chance, God answering his prayer. I can imagine

334
00:20:56,800 --> 00:20:59,800
Speaker 4: Elisha saying, Elijah, I'd love to work for you. What

335
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:03,200
Speaker 4: will my position be. He thought he'd be on the

336
00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:07,359
Speaker 4: platform leading the people. I can hear Elijah say, no,

337
00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:10,440
Speaker 4: I don't need anyone on the platform. I don't need

338
00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:13,760
Speaker 4: anyone in the limelight. I need you to get my food,

339
00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:18,480
Speaker 4: bring my water, set up my tent. It was a test.

340
00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:21,879
Speaker 4: He didn't tell Elisha that he was his replacement. He

341
00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:25,080
Speaker 4: didn't tell them a little earlier God said to anoint him.

342
00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:28,040
Speaker 4: Elisha could have said, I'd love to do it, but

343
00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:30,920
Speaker 4: I don't want to be in the background. I don't

344
00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:33,600
Speaker 4: want to serve in a menial position. I have big

345
00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:39,159
Speaker 4: things in my heart. Instead, Elisha understood this principle that

346
00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:43,040
Speaker 4: you have to carry a crown before you can wear one.

347
00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:48,120
Speaker 4: He faithfully served Elijah month after month, year after year.

348
00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:52,000
Speaker 4: In fact, three times Elijah tried to get rid of him.

349
00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:54,679
Speaker 4: He told him to stay in a city while he

350
00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:58,760
Speaker 4: went further. Elishah wouldn't do it. He was so committed,

351
00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:03,639
Speaker 4: so faithful, that he went with him anyway. When Elijah

352
00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:07,280
Speaker 4: was taken to heaven in the world, when Elishah received

353
00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:11,080
Speaker 4: a double portion of his anointing, he performed twice as

354
00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:14,960
Speaker 4: many miracles. It would have never happened if he had

355
00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:19,640
Speaker 4: not served him all those years. Don't discount the power

356
00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:25,639
Speaker 4: of serving, being faithful, helping someone else succeed. Joel, I

357
00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:29,639
Speaker 4: have my own dreams. I'm falling behind. No, your time

358
00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:34,520
Speaker 4: is coming. There's a Goliath moment suddenly where God is

359
00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:37,520
Speaker 4: going to thrust you to a new level. You are

360
00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:42,439
Speaker 4: never wasting time serving others. It's a part of God's plan.

361
00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:46,760
Speaker 4: You cannot reach your destiny without being faithful to another

362
00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:50,359
Speaker 4: person's dream. That showing God he can trust you with

363
00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:54,159
Speaker 4: your own. As a young man, God gave Joseph a

364
00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:57,560
Speaker 4: dream that one day he would be in leadership, that

365
00:22:57,640 --> 00:23:01,040
Speaker 4: people would bow down before him. But he was betrayed

366
00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:04,879
Speaker 4: by his brothers and sold into slavery. He worked for

367
00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:08,960
Speaker 4: a man named potterfor a high ranking military official in

368
00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:12,960
Speaker 4: the Egyptian army. Joseph had every right to be bitter

369
00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:17,399
Speaker 4: to slack off his own family turned on him, but

370
00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:22,520
Speaker 4: instead of being discouraged. Joseph kept excelling where he was

371
00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:27,520
Speaker 4: doing more than required, and Potterford noticed and put him

372
00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:31,600
Speaker 4: in charge of his whole household. Even when it's not fair,

373
00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:36,000
Speaker 4: you can serve your way up. People notice when you

374
00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:39,880
Speaker 4: go the extra mile. You should be so excellent at

375
00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:43,880
Speaker 4: work that your company can't make it without you. When

376
00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:47,240
Speaker 4: your boss your supervisor looks at you, they think, Wow,

377
00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:51,280
Speaker 4: they're a cut above. They're always on time, they always

378
00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:54,760
Speaker 4: do more than they have to. They always help solve problems.

379
00:23:55,720 --> 00:24:00,360
Speaker 4: If you're gone and nobody misses you, everything at your

380
00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:03,960
Speaker 4: company runs just as smoothly, then maybe they don't need you.

381
00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:08,360
Speaker 4: If you want job security, you need to be so productive,

382
00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:12,080
Speaker 4: so above and beyond the norm, that there's a gap

383
00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:15,800
Speaker 4: when you're not there. This doesn't mean you have to

384
00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:18,760
Speaker 4: have the most talent. It means you know how to

385
00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:23,719
Speaker 4: serve well. Joseph was eventually put in prison for something

386
00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:27,520
Speaker 4: that he didn't do. Surely he'd be sour now, surely

387
00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:30,840
Speaker 4: he would slack off. No, he kept being his best,

388
00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:34,720
Speaker 4: so much so that the supervisor put him in charge

389
00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:40,240
Speaker 4: of the prison. Betrayed but still serving faithfully, not fair,

390
00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:45,480
Speaker 4: but still serving with excellence. That gets God's attention. One night,

391
00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:49,600
Speaker 4: the pharaoh had a dream that he didn't understand. Word

392
00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:53,960
Speaker 4: reached him that this young prisoner, this slave named Joseph,

393
00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:58,920
Speaker 4: could interpret dreams he sent for him. Joseph was standing

394
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:01,200
Speaker 4: in the palace in front of one of the most

395
00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:05,840
Speaker 4: powerful people of that day. The betrayal, the bad break,

396
00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:10,160
Speaker 4: the injustice. It was a test. God was saying, Joseph,

397
00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:13,840
Speaker 4: will you serve me through the bad breaks? Will you

398
00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:18,880
Speaker 4: serve me through the lonely nights? When you face big challenges,

399
00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:22,959
Speaker 4: it's because God has a big destiny in front of you.

400
00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:27,440
Speaker 4: Joseph passed the test. He not only served his way up,

401
00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:31,600
Speaker 4: he served his way out. He interpreted the dream. The

402
00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:34,800
Speaker 4: pharaoh was so impressed he brought him out of prison

403
00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:39,399
Speaker 4: and made Joseph the prime minister of Egypt. When you

404
00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:45,040
Speaker 4: go through unfair situations, don't get bitter. Keep serving, keep

405
00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:50,320
Speaker 4: being faithful, keep helping someone else succeed. That difficulty is

406
00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:53,240
Speaker 4: not there to stop you. It's there to promote you.

407
00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:57,320
Speaker 4: Now do your part and serve your way out. Not

408
00:25:57,520 --> 00:26:01,720
Speaker 4: negative complaining. Joel, you talk me into it, I'll do it,

409
00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:04,720
Speaker 4: But it's not fair. You can do the right thing

410
00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:09,520
Speaker 4: with the wrong attitude and miss your blessing. God is

411
00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:12,639
Speaker 4: not just looking at what we do. He's looking at

412
00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:16,800
Speaker 4: the attitude of our heart. The Psalmist said, serve the

413
00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:21,560
Speaker 4: Lord with gladness, Serve with a smile, go to work

414
00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:25,360
Speaker 4: with a good attitude, singing the choir with joy. Too

415
00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:29,480
Speaker 4: many people are serving with sadness. They wonder why nothing changes.

416
00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:32,919
Speaker 4: If David would have taken lunch to his brothers with

417
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:37,000
Speaker 4: a sour attitude, complaining, I don't believe he would have

418
00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:42,600
Speaker 4: met Goliath. If Elishah would have served Elijah negative, I

419
00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:45,200
Speaker 4: can't believe I'm still taking care of this old man.

420
00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:47,679
Speaker 4: This is not what I signed up for. He'd have

421
00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:52,359
Speaker 4: never received the double portion. Don't miss your blessing because

422
00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:55,760
Speaker 4: you're sour. You're doing the right thing. Make sure you're

423
00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:59,960
Speaker 4: doing it with gladness. Remember you're not working under people.

424
00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:03,600
Speaker 4: You're not just serving your company, serving your church, serving

425
00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:07,000
Speaker 4: your neighbor. You are serving the creator of the universe,

426
00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:11,080
Speaker 4: the God who breathed life into you. You may be

427
00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:16,040
Speaker 4: in a difficult situation like Joseph, serve your way out.

428
00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:19,679
Speaker 4: Keep being your best where you are. Don't discount the

429
00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:24,000
Speaker 4: small things. Taking your brother's lunch. That small act of

430
00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:27,520
Speaker 4: service is leading to the big things God has in store.

431
00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:33,080
Speaker 4: Many of you have been serving faithfully, going the extra mile,

432
00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:36,800
Speaker 4: doing it with a good attitude. Get ready. Your time

433
00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:40,200
Speaker 4: is coming. God is about to open a new door.

434
00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:43,800
Speaker 4: He's about to put you in position where you're not

435
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:47,760
Speaker 4: just carrying a crown. You're wearing your crown. You're seeing

436
00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:51,520
Speaker 4: a dream come to pass. It's because you've been faithful

437
00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:57,040
Speaker 4: to serve. I believe and declare breakthroughs are coming, promotions

438
00:27:57,040 --> 00:28:01,119
Speaker 4: are coming, healings are coming. New level of your destiny

439
00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:04,679
Speaker 4: in Jesus's name, and if you receive it, can you

440
00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:08,439
Speaker 4: say it? Men? Today, I'd like to give you an

441
00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:12,399
Speaker 4: opportunity to make Jesus the lord of your life. Would

442
00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:17,320
Speaker 4: you pray with me? Just say, Lord, Jesus, I'll repent

443
00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:21,919
Speaker 4: of my sins. Come into my heart. I'll make you

444
00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:26,080
Speaker 4: my Lord and savior. If you prayed that simple prayer,

445
00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:29,040
Speaker 4: we believe you got born again. Get in a good

446
00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:33,160
Speaker 4: Bible based church, keep God first place, Victor, and I'll

447
