Art of Distinction By Robb Thompson
You will never be celebrated for your similarities but for your differences.
You may not be neccessarily be rewarded for the things you do but you will be disqualified for the things that you didn't do.
We need to discover our differences.
7 Unchangeable Laws of Differences:-
Your life is the product of your own construction.
Today's excellence is tommorrow;s mediocrity. Whatever you do something, is a building block for what you are going to become.
1. Law of pursuit
- You will only possess what you consistently pursue.
Phil 3:13-14
Prov 8:17-19
Matt 7:7-8
You got to be passionate with what you are pursuing.
2Cor 4:16
2. Law of Serving
-A servant is never defined by his willingness to serve but by the execution of his service.
Luke19:1-23
Matt23:11
Luke 22:26
Luke 16:11-12
3. Law of Character
-i'm sorry to report that whatever you compromise to keep you will certainly lose.
Gen 3:1-6, 23-24
2 Sam 11:1-4, 12:7-14
Jug 16:15-19, 28-30
4. Law of Attitudes
-The attitude of the servant determines the atmosphere of the place
Est 1:10-12, 2:13-17
Col 3:22-24
5. Law of Association
-Every relationship you have is either drawing you closer to or further away from God's will for your life
Prov 13:20
Ps1:1
1Cor 15:33
- 3 types of people in your life:
a) Compromisers: Always trying to get you to compromise your standards.
"It's ok you don't have to be so stiff and rigid"
Isa 59:19
b) Companions: Those that are neither good nor bad for your future. It's nearly impossible to tell their effect.
c) Committed: Those who are undoubtedly committed to your success.
Every relationship is magnetic. Choose the relationship that has chosen you.
6) Law of problem solving
- Your value in life is directly linked to the problems you joyfully solve for others
eg. Jospeh, David, Esther, Jesus, Timonthy
Phil 2:19-20
7) Law of the seed
Everything in your future is created by something in your present.
Gal6:7
2Cor 9:6
Prov 11:24-25
Gen 8:22
Everything that you'll become, God has given to you in seed form.
Deception finds its life in what people don't tell you.
A half truth is a whole lie.
Gen 8:22
Rom 1:21
-Peien-
