TEAM 180:

Do you love being Awarded and Rewarded?

All of us enjoy getting an Award and being Rewarded for being the Best at what we do don't we?

180 SECRET - AWARD - REWARD!

Awards and Rewards are one of the Motivating factors for doing what we do.

"Without Faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to Him must believe that He exists and that He Rewards those who Diligently Seek Him."
Hebrews 11:6, NIV

Does that mean that we Serve God just for the Rewards? No Way!

180 SECRET - AWARD - REWARD!

When we Diligently Seek the Lord our definition of Reward seems to change doesn't it?

Jesus told His followers to ask for anything and He would give it to them. Wow! I would have been asking for Millions of Dollars and a Stable Career.

180 SECRET: Solomon asked for Wisdom which is Applied Knowledge!

Notice who Jesus was talking to when He said this. He was talking to His Followers.

Earlier Jesus said, "if anyone wants to follow me they must Deny themselves and pick up their Cross to follow."

So immediately the definition of Award and Reward changed for His Followers. To get the Award and Reward we must be a follower of Him and to be a Follower of Him we must deny ourselves.

180 SECRET - AWARD - REWARD!

Suddenly what was once important to us as far as Awards and Rewards becomes less Important: Now Eternal things like Serving God and others First becomes our Goal!

What if we started looking through the eyes of Faith in everything we do Right Now?

What if your life became a Total Walk in Faith and you denied your desires for God's desires?

With Faith you will Please God!

With Faith you Know He Exist!

With Faith you may Diligently Seek Him!

With Faith He will Reward you in Everything!

Friends, when God is First Place in your life you can actually Anticipate Great Things!

That doesn't mean your life will be without challenges but it does mean that you will be Rewarded with the Patience and Power to Persevere through the Challenges.

Sometimes God deposits the Award and Reward in the Bank so it is waiting for you for a time when you really need it.

What appeared to be a drag and a bummer suddenly turned into an Opportunity for the Future!

SERVE OTHERS FIRST!
ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE!"

Just Go 180! IT'S POSSIBLE!
