And if we only have one shot at this life--- we better make it count… --EPHESIANS 5:16—make the most of your time… // Psalm 90:12 – teach us to number our days… ---There are 525,600 minutes in a year--- about a 3rd of those minutes you will be asleep---and another 3rd unconscious – basically awake but not really there… and that leaves the last 3rd to be fully present--- if you live to be 70… *** 70 years == 36,792,000 minutes---that’s a lot of minutes to be responsible for --BUT INSIDE THOSE MINUTES is something more SIGNIFICANT---MOMENTS----but what I have realized over time is that my life is not made up of minutes but rather moments---DEFINING MOMENTS--- are DIVINE MOMENTS--- where God gives you an opportunity to unleash your future--- the movies that are really powerful are the ones that have incredible MOMENTS—and you think oh wow that was way too fast—that was such a good movie… HOW MANY MOMENTS WILL YOU HAVE IN LIFE??? What makes a minute a moment??? – what makes it is a CHOICE--- 2 Kings 13:14-21, 25 --- he won 3xs but he could have won a lot more---he could have had greater victory---he accepted a spirit of defeat, and discouragement—he had little faith in the future possibilities—he settled in a land of enough, complacency---he didn’t truly embrace a LIFE of FULLNESS… ELISHA was FRUSTRATED because of HIS LACK OF PASSION---HIS LACK of ENGAGEMENT with LIFE---HE could have SHOT MORE---he could have GONE FURTHER--- he settled with a HALF-HEARTED attempt at victory… ---JESUS is our MODEL as BELIEVERS---not a basketball star or famous athlete or celebrity--- and JESUS lived with PASSION-----his LIFE was not HALF-HEARTED---he lived with PHYSICAL ENGAGEMENT ----THE ARROWS were in the hands of the KING_-what he did with those arrows would affect not only his future but the future of his family and his nation--- what we do echoes in ETERNITY--- ----Some people believe all of life is already pre-destined and so there is nothing we can do to change our fate or the fate of others—k, sera, sera, whatever will be will be-- but I believe that GOD has GIVEN US ALL the POWER OF CHOICE --- and CHOICE defeats CHANCE EVERYTIME… ---GOD HAS GIVEN US THE POWER TO CHOOSE_-- so what is your choice??? ---—Deuteronomy 30:15-20 7 arrows to make your life count 1----LIVE EVERYDAY WITH A DESIRE to KNOW JESUS MORE – intimacy leads to victory… 2----LIVE EVERYDAY with a PASSION to LOVE YOUR FAMILY 3----LIVE EVERYDAY with GOD’s FORGIVENESS towards all, including yourself 4----LIVE EVERYDAY with a PURPOSE to bring GOD GLORY in whatever you do 5----LIVE EVERYDAY with INTENTIONAL FOCUS ON WHAT REALLY MATTERS—learn to say no to certain things/people, so that you can say yes to who/what matters most… 6----LIVE EVERYDAY with an ATTITUDE of VICTORY---joy,faith,hope,life… 7----LIVE EVERYDAY to SHARE GOD’S LOVE & MAKE JESUS KNOWN to those around you  HOW YOU CAN STAY CONNECTED WITH VICTORY Victory Church Website: http://victory.com Victory Church Facebook: http://bit.ly/2lfgplu Victory Church Instagram: http://bit.ly/2E7Qd48 Victory Church Twitter: http://bit.ly/2lp29pM Paul Daugherty Facebook: http://bit.ly/2BOyCN9 Paul Daugherty Instagram: http://bit.ly/2CiieFH Paul Daugherty Twitter: http://bit.ly/2E9tx3q
