This message from Toure Roberts will make you want to put every relationship and person in your life under evaluation.
- If you get certain things in order, you’re going to bear fruit
- You should be happy it was taken away from you because it was taking you further away
- Everything that can be shaken, will be shaken
- Get excited when God shakes things in your life
- You should only want what God ordained for your life
- You wanted opportunity, but God wanted to recreate you. You wanted a relationship but he wanted 2.0. You wanted money but he wanted to work on you inside out
- Be so intentional
- What has God anointed my life for?
- Don’t look for money, look for vision and the provision will come
- Your future has already been funded
- Dismantle things that will sabotage your vision
- Nothing should have control over you – see it right
RULES OF ENGAGEMENT
- Cancel every relationship that only makes withdrawals, never deposits
- Not put on hold, pause, etc.
- You have people riding for free
- When you’re a good person, you assume everyone is like you
- Bring every relationship under evaluation and make sure what was good then is still good for now
- It takes more energy to swing and miss than to swing and land the punch – Don’t be random
- Place a demand of excellence on yourself, your team and anyone or everything connected to you
- You have to become a different person, be more relentless, more focused
- Distractions are the enemies weapons against you
- If you get seriously focused with what God is trying to do with you, you will get so far it will blow you away
- It’s not a race against other people, it’s against our own mediocrity. Outrun the last level of who you were
- When God moves you to another level some things around you won’t
- Some people are still living in yesterday’s level of excellence instead of today
- Keep your expectations high, don’t lower the plane
- When Ella (baby) would take a few steps we applauded. Stopped applauding because we are affirming mediocrity
- People will applaud you at mediocrity level, people will applaud your weakness
- Medi = Middle, Ocre = Mountain = Middle of the mountain
- Mediocre isn’t average, mediocre is failing
- Don’t applaud me at the halfway point, encourage me because I still have room to grow
- What is excellence on the next level for me?
- Start each day in worship, meditation and prayer
- This is a new season, you’ve never been here before
- You have vision, but do you have strategy?
- Sometimes in prayer we talk too much
- The use of your time is connected to your purpose
- Never underestimate the power of thinking. You’re moving without thinking. Think it through.
- Schedule thinking into your day
- Sometimes it’s just a tiny thing that changes the whole thing
- Sometimes we only get the word in service when we should get it outside of it as well
- Speak it until you see it come to pass into your life
- There will always be more demand in your energy than your supple. Therefore, allocate your focus and time wisely
- You are a limited resource
- Put a high price on your time and focus because you don’t have it in abundance
- You don’t have the ability to focus on everything
- Don’t have a problem telling people “NO”
- “No” is not a cuss word
- Stay motivated. Rome wasn’t built in a day. You may not see progress yet, but keep going. All at once, it will appear.
- Just because you got the amen, doesn’t mean it’s going to be easy, amen just mean it’s certain
- Resistance and progress are married. Can’t have one without the other
- You’ll know you’re moving forward when it’s hard. Get scared when it’s easy
- You may not see progress, but keep going
- You’re not passed your time and prime of your life
- Be not weary, you’re going to reap if you don’t give up
- It just takes a split second to not see anything then to see everything
- What God promised, will come
- With just a couple moves or degrees of alignment it will all come
- It hasn’t happened yet because you’re still learning how to fight – If it happened now you wouldn’t be able to handle that warfare
- Gods not going to give you something that persecution will take away from you
- You already have the promise, you don’t have to work for it. The promise isn’t the issue, the process it
