Grow It! – Special Guest Sam Chand
March 10th, 2010 by
Dennis Rouse
As we conclude our 20th anniversary celebration, we thought it fitting to welcome our good friend, Dr. Samuel R. Chand, President Emeritus of Beulah Heights Bible College and member of our Executive Board, to come and speak to us out of his passion to help others succeed. His message was, as always, exuberant, hilarious, poignant and exactly what we needed to hear as we move forward into the new things God is doing in and through Victory. I’ll go ahead and write a brief synopsis here, but it’s going to be a teaser only. I really want you to listen to or watch this message…again and again, if necessary, until it sinks into your spirit. So here’s the teaser…
God is calling us to some amazing things. 2010 is OUR year. In fact, despite what the media prognosticators are saying, 2010 is going to be our best year! This is true for Victory as a church and for us as individuals. But in order for this to happen, we need to Grow It! We are going to experience these things only to the extent that we have the capacity for it. The fulfillment of whatever God has called us to comes down to the issue of capacity.
We need to make up our minds to grow our…
- Pain capacity, – There is no growth without pain.
- Relational capacity – There are two kinds of people in this world – people who make deposits and people who make withdrawals. We have to be able to relate to both.
- Exposure capacity – The more we’re exposed, the more we’re willing to do things.
- Identity capacity – Our identities are shifting all the time – we’re not the same people we were ten years ago…at least we shouldn’t be.
- Crisis capacity – Don’t waste your crisis, learn from it.
- Character capacity – Character is what you do and who you are when no one is watching.
- Risk capacity – When you’re 100% sure, you’re too late. “Jump out and play in the traffic.”
Now, go listen to the whole message. It will change your life!
