Becoming A Champion Part1

I want to give you some points on championship living, because God has called us to be a Championship Church!

^{Romans 12:1-2} Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. ² Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.

1.) One of the first steps to becoming a champion is changing your mindset.

2.) The way you think is very important.

3.) “As a man thinks in his heart, so is he.”

4.) You need to know and understand who you are in Christ.

What is a champion?

1.) A champion is someone that is out of the box. A champion will always break the mold.

2.) A champion not only knows how to lead but how to follow.

3.) A champion sets an example and raises the bar for future generations.

4.) A champion never gives up.

Romans 8:31-39

³¹ What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? ³² He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things? ³³ Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies. ³⁴ Who then is the one who condemns? No one. Christ Jesus who died—more than that, who was raised to life—is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us. ³⁵ Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? ³⁶ As it is written:

   “For your sake we face death all day long;
   we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.”

 ³⁷ No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. ³⁸ For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, ³⁹ neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. 

1.) We are more than conquerors through Jesus Christ.

2.) We can overcome anything and defeat the attack of the enemy in our minds if we realize the power that we have through the love of God.

3.) The carnal mind is God’s enemy, but we can be transformed and changed into God’s image and have his mind at work in us by allowing his spirit to move in our lives.
