Champions Glory-Dance Of Praise!

WE ARE CHRIST'S CHAMPIONS: Make His Praise Glorious!

 

A Champions Glory Dance Of Praise Begins With This Warm Up Exercise Of

Mind, Soul, Will And Spirit:

1 Peter 5:3-11

Don't act as if you were a ruler over those who are under your care. Instead, be examples to the flock. 4 The Chief Shepherd will come again. Then you will receive the crown of glory. It is a crown that will never fade away. 5 Young men, follow the lead of those who are older. All of you, put on a spirit that is free of pride toward each other as if it were your clothes. Scripture says, "God opposes those who are proud. But he gives grace to those who are not." —(Proverbs 3:34) 6 So don't be proud. Put yourselves under God's mighty hand. Then he will honor you at the right time. 7 Turn all your worries over to him. He cares about you. 8 Control yourselves. Be on your guard. Your enemy the devil is like a roaring lion. He prowls around looking for someone to chew up and swallow. 9 Stand up to him. Stand firm in what you believe. All over the world you know that your brothers and sisters are going through the same kind of suffering. 10 God always gives you all the grace you need. So you will only have to suffer for a little while. Then God himself will build you up again. He will make you strong and steady. And he has chosen you to share in his eternal glory because you belong to Christ. 11 Give him the power for ever and ever. Amen.

CHAMPIONS IN HIS TRAINING MAKING HIS PRAISE GLORIOUS!

DISGUARDING PRIDE! MAKE HIS PRAISE GLORIOUS!

Pride is an impossibly heavy Yoke to carry if you are a Champion in Training for the Kingdom of God. When I start my training each day, I make sure I am positioned in God's Grace; I am yoked to Him and free of pride. Every day the enemy looks for ways to trip me up in selfish pride as he and his deceptive habits, put up stumbling blocks trying to derail my self-image off the track of my championship training and onto a path of self focus! My enemy lurks and waits for the perfect situation to taunt me and tempt me into discarding my humble training garments of praise and exchange them for his bling-bling clothing that is labeled with self-importance. The enemy wants to yoke me in pride, weigh me down so that I can't keep pace with my Coach, Jesus Christ and eventually lag behind and lose sight of Him.

STANDING FIRM IN BELIEF! MAKE HIS PRAISE GLORIOUS!

I realize in every situation of my training day, I must stand firm in what I believe, even if I have to suffer the humility of self- denial that makes me feel like I am the tale runner and not the lead runner. I must believe what I know to be true, running my race impassioned not by feelings that change every day (subject to the weather LOL…) but by the Presence and Promises of my Coach. My Coach promised me that I would be the head, the lead runner not the tale end and I run my race no matter what my position is, with this in mind! God will give me exactly what I need in Him and this promise is simply enough to motivate me to train, to step out on the track and run my race today with excellence. As I am becoming God's Champion, He builds me up and My Coach will make me strong through the discipline of my body, spirit, soul and will. I will become a stalwart runner in this Kingdom race, secure in the hope of my incredible future as a Champion In Christ Jesus!

RUNNING WITH HOPE! MAKE HIS PRAISE GLORIOUS!

As a Champion in Christ, we know that our training will not come easy! Yes, we may suffer for a little while, but we never endure outside of His hope; hope filled optimism like nothing we could ever imagine will help keep us steady, faithful and strong in the disciplining of our spirit, soul, body, will and mind. He has chosen me as His Champion in training and He has set me apart to share in His forever glory! Because I am His, undivided in heart and always loyal to My Coach, I Therefore, choose to stand firm and diligently train, giving Him my all in all and believing in Him wholeheartedly; because of what I know, not because of what I feel. Every day as I train as God's Champion, I press towards Him and make a sacrificial investment of my time, energy and life because I know He will double my investment and it will bring forth a forever Glory Glow in me and through me. I am His Champion, I am Glowing His Glory… Running in the Light of His Hope!

PRAISING… IN PURSUIT OF GLORY GOLD! MAKE HIS PRAISE GLORIOUS!

As His Champion, I am promised to reap what I sow! That which I sow into my training as I become a Champion in Christ, I will reap in the joy of victory in Him! Nothing is wasted as Champions in Christ meticulously train; it is all used by Him, transformed into His advantage for The Kingdom of God! I believe in Him, therefore today is not about how I feel or what I see, it is about being found in Him, My Advocate, My Coach and continuing to faithfully train as His Champion to be… to make His praise glorious!! I was created to be a Champion in Christ Jesus and to make His Praise Glorious as I pursue Gold for the Kingdom Team!
