Speaker 5: Be a part of one of our services. I promise
Speaker 5: you we'll make you feel right at home. I like
Speaker 5: to start with something funny, and I heard about this
Speaker 5: six year old boy. He was standing in the church
Speaker 5: lobby staring at the large plaque on the wall. It
Speaker 5: was filled with names with small American flags by their side.
Speaker 5: He asked the pastor what all the names were for.
Speaker 5: The pastor explained how that was a memorial to all
Speaker 5: the young men and women that died in the service.
Speaker 5: The little boy stood there silently, so concerned, he finally
Speaker 5: looked up and asked, was it the eight thirty or
Speaker 5: eleven o'clock service? Say it like you mean it. This
Speaker 5: is my Bible. I am what it says I am.
Speaker 5: I have what it says I have. I can do
Speaker 5: what it says I can do. Today I will be
Speaker 5: taught the word of God. I boldly confess my mind
Speaker 5: is alert, my heart is receptive. I will never be
Speaker 5: the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you. I want
Speaker 5: to talk to you today about recognizing your value. Too
Speaker 5: often we base our value on how someone is treating us,
Speaker 5: how successful we are, how perfect of a life we've lived.
Speaker 5: The problem is all of those things can change. If
Speaker 5: you're getting your value out of how people treat you,
Speaker 5: then if they hurt you, they disappoint you, you're going
Speaker 5: to feel devalued. If you're basing your value off of
Speaker 5: your achievements, how much you make, what you drive, the
Speaker 5: title behind your name, then if something happens and you
Speaker 5: don't have that position, your business goes down, then your
Speaker 5: value will go down. And some people don't feel good
Speaker 5: about themselves because they've made mistakes in life. They're not
Speaker 5: where they thought they would be. Now they're living insecure,
Speaker 5: feeling inferior. They're basing their value on their performance. Here's
Speaker 5: the key. Your value should be based solely on the
Speaker 5: fact that you are a child of the most High God,
Speaker 5: the creator of the universe, breaths his life into you.
Speaker 5: How someone treats you doesn't change your value. What they
Speaker 5: say or do doesn't lessen who you are. Mistakes you've
Speaker 5: made doesn't decrease your value. That's what you did, that's
Speaker 5: not who you are. You can buy a bigger house,
Speaker 5: drive a better car, but that doesn't make you any
Speaker 5: more valuable. That increases your net worth, not your self worth.
Speaker 5: You were already valuable when you had the small apartment
Speaker 5: and no title behind your name. That position may give
Speaker 5: you more influence, but not more value. You can be
Speaker 5: a stay at home mom raising your children. You may
Speaker 5: not have the influence of the CEO, but you have
Speaker 5: the same value. Value is not based on what you do,
Speaker 5: what you make, who you know. That's superficial. Those things
Speaker 5: can change. Your value comes from your creator. God breathed
Speaker 5: his life into you. You have the DNA of Almighty God.
Speaker 5: You have royalty in your blood. But the enemy works
Speaker 5: over time trying to devalue us. He'd love for you
Speaker 5: to go through life letting what people say make you
Speaker 5: feel inferior, comparing your life to somebody else's thinking. You'll
Speaker 5: feel good about yourself when you catch up to them,
Speaker 5: when you live in that neighborhood, or when you perform perfectly,
Speaker 5: when you break the addiction, then you'll feel valuable. But
Speaker 5: nothing you do will make you any more valuable. Nothing
Speaker 5: you achieve, nothing you overcome. You are valuable right now.
Speaker 5: God calls you a masterpiece. You are one of a kind.
Speaker 5: You didn't come off an assembly line. You weren't mass produced.
Speaker 5: God made you unique. There will never be another. You
Speaker 5: put your shoulders back, start carrying yourself with confidence. You
Speaker 5: have been fearfully and wonderfully made. In Luke chapter four,
Speaker 5: Jesus was led by the spirit into the desert, where
Speaker 5: he was tempted three times. He'd been out there for
Speaker 5: forty days and hadn't eaten anything. The enemy said to him,
Speaker 5: if you're the son of God, turn these stones into bread.
Speaker 5: He was trying to make his value be based on
Speaker 5: his performance. If you turn these stones into bread, you
Speaker 5: can prove you're the son of God. Then you can
Speaker 5: feel good about yourself. You performed a miracle. Jesus wouldn't
Speaker 5: do it. He said, man doesn't live by bread alone.
Speaker 5: He was saying, in effect, I don't have to do
Speaker 5: anything to prove who I am. I don't have to
Speaker 5: perform to feel good about myself. I know who I am.
Speaker 5: The enemy couldn't deceive him into getting his value out
Speaker 5: of being performance based, so he tried possession based. He
Speaker 5: took Jesus to a high place, showed him all the
Speaker 5: kingdoms of the world. He said, you can have it
Speaker 5: all if you'll just bow down and worship me. Jesus said, no, thanks.
Speaker 5: I don't need possessions to prove my worth and value.
Speaker 5: I don't have to have what you think is important
Speaker 5: to feel good about who I am. Possession based didn't work.
Speaker 5: Performance based didn't work, so the enemy tried one final thing, popularity.
Speaker 5: He took Jesus to the highest place in the temple,
Speaker 5: was very crowded below all kinds of people. He said,
Speaker 5: if you're the son of God, jump off this building.
Speaker 5: You said your angels would protect you. He was trying
Speaker 5: to get Jesus to show off. Everybody would see and
Speaker 5: be amazed. He'd gain instant popularity. Jesus said it again.
Speaker 5: I don't need possessions, I don't need popularity. I don't
Speaker 5: need performance to feel valuable. I know who I am.
Speaker 5: I'm the son of the Living God. The enemy tried
Speaker 5: to deceive Jesus into proving who he was, and a
Speaker 5: lot of people live in approving mode. They can't feel
Speaker 5: good about themselves unless they prove to people they're important.
Speaker 5: Prove to their coworker their talented, prove to their critics
Speaker 5: that they really are okay. There's a constant struggle. They're
Speaker 5: always having to outdo, outperform, outdrive, outdress. It's very freeing
Speaker 5: when you realize you don't have to prove anything. You
Speaker 5: don't have to impress people. Take the pressure off. It
Speaker 5: takes a lot of energy to compete, to prove, to impress.
Speaker 5: If you live in approving mode, it's like you're on
Speaker 5: a treadmill. As soon as you prove to one person
Speaker 5: you're okay, you'll see somebody else you need to impress
Speaker 5: to never ending cycle. Get off that treadmill. You're working
Speaker 5: hard but not going anywhere. You don't have to prove anything.
Speaker 5: In these days, there's so much emphasis on name brands.
Speaker 5: We're wearing so and so designers, use and so and
Speaker 5: so sunglasses, and carrying a so and so perse, driving
Speaker 5: a so and so card, talking on a so and
Speaker 5: so cell phone. If you're really cool, you got on
Speaker 5: so and so underwear. You can feel good about yourself.
Speaker 5: Sometimes we have so many other names on us. We
Speaker 5: don't know our own name. We're counting on all the
Speaker 5: name brands, all the outside labels to make us feel important.
Speaker 5: Can I tell you your name is more important than
Speaker 5: all those names combine. No disrespect to them, But the
Speaker 5: difference between you and a name brand is God breathed
Speaker 5: his life into you. You're a son, you're a daughter
Speaker 5: of the most High God. And there's nothing wrong with
Speaker 5: owning it, driving it. We're in it, But don't let
Speaker 5: it be the reason you feel good about who you are.
Speaker 5: Because what's hot today? What's the life greatest? In a
Speaker 5: few years, it'll be outdated. If you live possession based,
Speaker 5: you have to run from name to name, position to position,
Speaker 5: friend to friend. That's gonna wear you out. Why don't
Speaker 5: you relax? You can't get any more valuable. You can
Speaker 5: buy more clothes, get more friends. That doesn't change your
Speaker 5: value whether you're wearing Gucci or Goodwill, whether it's Calvin
Speaker 5: Klein or Fruit of the Loom, your value never changes.
Speaker 5: You're clapping because you wear Fruit of the Loom. Like me.
Speaker 5: I went to the sporting goods store the other day
Speaker 5: to buy some new T shirts to work out in,
Speaker 5: and there were probably ten racks of shirts. Practically everyone
Speaker 5: had the manufacturer's name on the front in big bold letters.
Speaker 5: I thought to myself, you want me to buy your
Speaker 5: shirt and then go around as a billboard for you,
Speaker 5: no offense, But I don't want to wear your name.
Speaker 5: I like my own name. Do you need somebody else's
Speaker 5: name to make you feel good about yourself? Are you
Speaker 5: trying to prove your worth your value by who you know,
Speaker 5: what you were, what you drive? Or can you say,
Speaker 5: like Jesus, I don't have to have popularity, possessions or
Speaker 5: performance to feel good about myself. I am secure in
Speaker 5: who I am. I know who God made me to be.
Speaker 5: When Jesus was riding into town on Palm Sunday, the
Speaker 5: people laid down branches as he passed by. They celebrated,
Speaker 5: shouting Hosanna from the young to the old, waving cheering.
Speaker 5: They were so excited to see him. He received the
Speaker 5: heroes welcome, but a few days later those same people,
Speaker 5: instead of shouting Hosanna, they were shouting crucifying. We don't
Speaker 5: want him here. When Jesus went to trial and needed
Speaker 5: his closest friends to support him, his disciples, the ones
Speaker 5: he had poured his life into, weren't anywhere around. He
Speaker 5: asked them to stay up and pray, but they were
Speaker 5: too tired. They fell asleep. If you base your value
Speaker 5: on people's support, how much they approve you, encourage you,
Speaker 5: then if for some reason they stop doing that, you'll
Speaker 5: feel devalued. As long as they're telling you you're great,
Speaker 5: you'll feel great. The problem is if they change their mind,
Speaker 5: they're not telling you that, you're not going to feel great.
Speaker 5: You can't base your value on what people give you.
Speaker 5: People are funny. They'll say you're beautiful one day, and
Speaker 5: I don't care for you the next. Hosanna on Sunday,
Speaker 5: crucify them on Friday. If you don't know who you
Speaker 5: are without them, then if they leave, you'll be lost.
Speaker 5: They'll take you with them. Your identity was caught up
Speaker 5: in who they made you to be. You'll try to
Speaker 5: find somebody else to tell you who you are. You
Speaker 5: don't need need people to tell you who you are.
Speaker 5: People will let you down, people will get jealous, People
Speaker 5: have their own issues. Let your heavenly father tell you
Speaker 5: who you are. Get your value, your self worth, your
Speaker 5: approval from him. He says you're a masterpiece. He says
Speaker 5: you're want of a kind a prize possession. Somebody may
Speaker 5: have told you the opposite. You're not talented, you're not attractive,
Speaker 5: you don't have a good personality. Let that go in
Speaker 5: one ear and out the other. They don't determine your value.
Speaker 5: What they say or do, does it make you any
Speaker 5: less a masterpiece. Quit letting how people treat you make
Speaker 5: you feel inferior. They don't control your destiny. They didn't
Speaker 5: breathe life into you. They didn't call you, they didn't
Speaker 5: anoint you, they didn't approve you. Your value came from
Speaker 5: your creator, from the God who spoke words into existence.
Speaker 5: The good news is they can't change your value, and
Speaker 5: you can't change it. God put it in you before
Speaker 5: you showed up. You don't need their approval, You don't
Speaker 5: need their encouragement. They don't have to validate you. It's
Speaker 5: good when it happens, but if you're depending on it
Speaker 5: to feel secure, then if they don't do it, you're
Speaker 5: going to feel inferior. Don't give away your power, don't
Speaker 5: put your identity, your value into somebody else's hands. Even
Speaker 5: good people can't give you everything you need. Somebody that
Speaker 5: loves you very much, they cannot keep you approved, validated,
Speaker 5: feeling secure. You have to go to your heavenly father.
Speaker 5: And sometimes we're putting pressure on people to keep us fixed,
Speaker 5: keep us validated. Let them off the hook. They're not
Speaker 5: your savior. You already have a savior. He's on the throne.
Speaker 5: Go to him and not the people. The problem with
Speaker 5: trying to get this from people is people have issues.
Speaker 5: People are dealing with insecurities, fears, hurts, wounds, presentes, dysfunction.
Speaker 5: They don't know any better. That's normal to them. Messed up.
Speaker 5: People can mess you up. That's not profound. But it's good,
Speaker 5: isn't it. If you base your value on what they're
Speaker 5: giving you, you can end up dysfunctional. I talked to
Speaker 5: a lady recently that had a very bad childhood neglect abuse.
Speaker 5: She had just gone through her second divorce, her ex
Speaker 5: husband told her that she didn't deserve to be loved,
Speaker 5: and I could tell that she believed it because she
Speaker 5: was down on herself, no expression on her face. I
Speaker 5: told her what I'm telling you. Don't let messed up
Speaker 5: people ruin the rest of your life. If somebody hurts you,
Speaker 5: there's a tendency to internalize it and think there's something
Speaker 5: wrong with me. If I was more attract he wouldn't
Speaker 5: have left. If I was smarter, I wouldn't have had
Speaker 5: a bad childhood. No, it has nothing to do with you.
Speaker 5: They're treating you out of their hurts, their wounds. Hurting
Speaker 5: people end up hurting other people. Don't let what they
Speaker 5: say define who you are. Don't let what you didn't
Speaker 5: get make you feel like you're to blame. They said
Speaker 5: you don't deserve to be loved, that's a lie. They
Speaker 5: said you're not attractive, another lie. But if you base
Speaker 5: your value on these lines, you won't have any kind
Speaker 5: of self worth. Studies even show that children that went
Speaker 5: through neglect abuse a bad childhood. Very often they take
Speaker 5: the blame on themselves. They think there's something wrong with them.
Speaker 5: This lady did the same thing. She didn't think she
Speaker 5: deserved to be loved. That's the enemy trying to steal
Speaker 5: your sense of value. If somebody did you wrong, instead
Speaker 5: of internalizing it, have you ever thought about maybe they
Speaker 5: were messed up. Maybe they felt so bad about themselves,
Speaker 5: so unlovable, that they tried to project it on you.
Speaker 5: I know a young man that never felt like he
Speaker 5: fit in growing up. There's very little love in his home.
Speaker 5: He never felt approved or celebrated. It was like he
Speaker 5: was a burden. He found out in his early teens
Speaker 5: that his parents always wanted a girl. They were disappointed
Speaker 5: when he was born. Now he's in his twenties, had
Speaker 5: his head down, insecure, feeling unworthy. I told him, your
Speaker 5: parents may have wanted a girl, but the creator of
Speaker 5: the universe wanted a boy. God doesn't make mistakes. You're
Speaker 5: not an accident. He hand picked you. He chose you
Speaker 5: before you could choose him. Your parents may not have
Speaker 5: known any better, but don't let their lack of approval
Speaker 5: keep you from your destiny. You didn't come from your mother.
Speaker 5: You came rule your mother. You came from oh body God.
Speaker 5: I begin to tell him how he was a masterpiece,
Speaker 5: called chosen, equipped, one of a kind, with seeds of greatness.
Speaker 5: Nobody had ever spoken faith over his life. He lifted
Speaker 5: his head, he put his shoulders back. I could see
Speaker 5: a smile starting to form. When you base your value
Speaker 5: on what people say or do, that's going to push
Speaker 5: you down. But when you base it on what God
Speaker 5: says about you, it's going to lift you up. You're
Speaker 5: going to have a smile on your face, a spring
Speaker 5: in your step. You're not going to be put off
Speaker 5: by what you didn't get by who's not supporting him
Speaker 5: like him. Maybe nobody ever told you what God says
Speaker 5: about you. God says you're amazing. He says he's proud
Speaker 5: of you. He says you're the apple of his eye.
Speaker 5: People may not be celebrating you, but you need to
Speaker 5: know God celebrates you. I've heard it said if God
Speaker 5: had a refrigerator, your picture would be on it. If
Speaker 5: he had a computer, you'd be on the homepage. The
Speaker 5: scripture says God has your name carved on the palm
Speaker 5: of his hand. He's always thinking about you. You may
Speaker 5: feel like you never really got the approval from your parents.
Speaker 5: From your family even now, they don't celebrate you, they
Speaker 5: don't affirm you. But the truth is it's not about you.
Speaker 5: It's about their issues, their insecurities. Don't spend your life
Speaker 5: trying to get something that they cannot give. I know
Speaker 5: people working eighty hours a week trying to prove to
Speaker 5: their parents they're successful, prove to their family they're good enough.
Speaker 5: You have to let it go or you'll be frustrated.
Speaker 5: Turn to your heavenly father. Get your approval from him.
Speaker 5: He's smiling down on you. He sees you excelling. You
Speaker 5: don't have to have their approval to be happy. God
Speaker 5: approves you. He's the one that matters. In the scripture,
Speaker 5: David didn't have his father's approval. When the prophet Samuel
Speaker 5: came in to anoint one of Jesse's sons, Jesse didn't
Speaker 5: even bring David in from the shepherd's fields. He saw
Speaker 5: David as being inferior, not talented, too young, too small.
Speaker 5: Sometimes the people closest to you can't see the greatness
Speaker 5: in you. Jesse didn't see a king in David. He
Speaker 5: didn't see a giant killer, a strategic leader. He saw
Speaker 5: a young boy with not much to offer. He dismissed him,
Speaker 5: didn't pay much attention. Your family may discount you. They
Speaker 5: may leave you out. Don't take it personally. Just keep
Speaker 5: being your best, getting your approval from your heavenly father.
Speaker 5: This happened with Jesus. His brothers didn't believe in him.
Speaker 5: They saw him as average. What's the big deal, what's
Speaker 5: all the commotion, It's just Jesus. The people that should
Speaker 5: have supported him the most tried to make him feel inferior.
Speaker 5: The people closest to you may not acknowledge your gifts,
Speaker 5: they may not see your value, but God does. David
Speaker 5: was left out. It wasn't fair. But when Samuel looked
Speaker 5: at the other seven sons, he said, Jesse, it's none
Speaker 5: of these. Do you have any more sons? People may
Speaker 5: leave you out, but God doesn't leave you out. If
Speaker 5: David had to have his family's approval, he would have
Speaker 5: never taken the throne. Quit trying to make people before
Speaker 5: you that are never going to be for you. Quit
Speaker 5: feeling inferior because somebody close to you is not celebrating you.
Speaker 5: If you needed their approval, you would get it. If
Speaker 5: you're not getting it, that means you don't need it
Speaker 5: to become who you were created to be. And yes
Speaker 5: it may be hurtful, but it is not going to
Speaker 5: keep you from your destiny. Sometimes it's God teaching us
Speaker 5: to go to him and not to people. We rely
Speaker 5: too much on what people think. Who believes in us?
Speaker 5: And how come they're not supporting me. David's brothers made
Speaker 5: fun of him, his father discounted him. He was stuck
Speaker 5: out in the shepherd's fields, But instead of complaining feeling inferior,
Speaker 5: he turned to God. He's the one that wrote in
Speaker 5: Psalm twenty seven, if my mother and father forsake me,
Speaker 5: God will adopt me as his own child. And I
Speaker 5: know many of us had great parents that did their best,
Speaker 5: but we all have people that are not giving us
Speaker 5: their approval. They don't acknowledge our gifts. They don't see
Speaker 5: what we have to offer. Don't live frustrated thinking that
Speaker 5: there's something wrong with you, trying to prove to them
Speaker 5: who you are, trying to convince them to affirm you.
Speaker 5: Let it go. There's nothing wrong with you. If you
Speaker 5: had to have it, they would give it. Since you
Speaker 5: don't shake it off. Keep your head held high, knowing
Speaker 5: that your heavenly father has approved you, accepted you, and
Speaker 5: anointed you. Your value doesn't come from people, It comes
Speaker 5: from your creator. A while back, somebody gave a watch
Speaker 5: to the Ministry. I was out of town at one
Speaker 5: of our events, and a man came up and handed
Speaker 5: me this nice box. I opened it. It was a
Speaker 5: beautiful watch. It wasn't super fancy, but it was attractive.
Speaker 5: It s forty, and of course I thanked him. I'm
Speaker 5: very grateful. I brought it back and put it in
Speaker 5: my desk drawer. A couple of months later, I opened
Speaker 5: the drawer to get something out and there was the watch.
Speaker 5: I had forgotten about it. I looked at it again
Speaker 5: and I thought it cost a couple hundred dollars. I
Speaker 5: didn't notice the name brand, but for some reason, I
Speaker 5: googled it. When I did, I nearly passed out. The
Speaker 5: exact watch came up. It was worth over ten thousand dollars.
Speaker 5: It's from a very famous, prestigious watchmaker. It looked like
Speaker 5: to me a lot of other watches that I'd seen
Speaker 5: that cost several hundred dollars. But because of the manufacturer,
Speaker 5: this watch was extremely valuable. You could put it side
Speaker 5: by side and you wouldn't see much difference. Looked average
Speaker 5: ordinary people had copied it. There were knockoffs on the
Speaker 5: surface it seemed the same, but what gave it its value
Speaker 5: was who made it. Sometimes we don't realize who we are.
Speaker 5: You may feel average, ordinary, like nothing stands out, But
Speaker 5: because of your maker, there's something about you that makes
Speaker 5: you extremely valuable. You're not a copy, you're not a knockoff.
Speaker 5: You're an original. The creator of the universe is your manufacturer.
Speaker 5: You can't get any more prestigious than that. But if
Speaker 5: you don't know who you are are, like I did
Speaker 5: with the watch, you'll discount yourself. Think it all, man,
Speaker 5: I'm ordinary, nothing much to offer, nothing special about me.
Speaker 5: You need to google your manufacturer. You have the fingerprints
Speaker 5: of God all over you. Someone thirty nine says God,
Speaker 5: I praise you because you have made me in an
Speaker 5: amazing way. What you have done is wonderful. If you're
Speaker 5: going to recognize your value, you have to see yourself
Speaker 5: as amazing, as wonderful, not because of who you are,
Speaker 5: but because of who made you. Now, life will try
Speaker 5: to make you feel like you're anything but amazing. Disappointments, betrayals,
Speaker 5: rejection will try to steal your sense of value. But
Speaker 5: all through the day, despite what thoughts are telling you,
Speaker 5: despite who left you, out. You need to remind yourself.
Speaker 5: I am amazing. I am a masterpiece. I have been
Speaker 5: wonderfully made. Don't discount what God has created. Don't go
Speaker 5: around feeling ordinary when in fact you're extraordinary. People may
Speaker 5: try to make you feel average, like David's father. You
Speaker 5: don't have much to offer. Are you going to believe
Speaker 5: what people say about you? Or believe what God says
Speaker 5: about you? God says you're amazing? Have you ever said
Speaker 5: that to yourself? It has to start on the inside.
Speaker 5: I read where Tom Brady's jersey that he wore during
Speaker 5: the Super Bowl is worth five hundred thousand dollars. I
Speaker 5: can go online and buy that same jersey for forty
Speaker 5: nine dollars. What's the difference who it belongs to? Same jersey,
Speaker 5: same size, same color, but one belongs to Tom Brady.
Speaker 5: That makes it extremely valuable. The scripture says you belong
Speaker 5: to God. You may feel average, think you look ordinary,
Speaker 5: nothing special about you, But because of who you belong to,
Speaker 5: that makes you extremely valuable. Now my challenge, don't let
Speaker 5: people discount you. Don't let your own thoughts push you down.
Speaker 5: Put your shoulders back. You belong to God. You don't
Speaker 5: have to prove anything. You don't have to try to
Speaker 5: impress people. Just be who you are, be amazing. If
Speaker 5: you'll do this, I believe and declare every chain that's
Speaker 5: held you back is being broken. You're going to live free, confidence, secure, valuable,
Speaker 5: and become the masterpiece that God created you to be.
Speaker 5: In Jesus' name, if you receive it, can you say it? Men? Today,
Speaker 5: I'd like to give you an opportunity to make Jesus
