    Some of the key takeaways from the passage are that God wants people to succeed, defines success differently than mainstream culture, and has rigged success for believers. It also discusses God's faithfulness and impartiality.

    The passage says that God's definition of success is being faithful to what God has called a person to do, rather than mainstream definitions involving fame or social status. It cites Jesus' parable of the talents to support this.

    The passage discusses several scriptures that say God shows no partiality and does not favor some people over others. It is meant to counter the idea that God must love some believers more for them to be more successful.

    BORN TO WIN - PASTOR TOM GARRETT

    SUNDAY JUNE 12, 2016

    GOD WANTS/WILLS FOR US TO SUCCEED

    • God designed you for success. He made you to be a winner. This is true of everyone
    regardless of the past. God has never destined anyone to live a mediocre life.

    • Psalm 1:1-3 (NKJV) Blessed is the manWho walks not in the counsel of the
    ungodly,Nor stands in the path of sinners, Nor sits in the seat of the scornful;
    2But his delight is in the law of the Lord,And in His law he meditates day and
    night.3He shall be like a treePlanted by the rivers of water,That brings forth its
    fruit in its season,Whose leaf also shall not wither;And whatever he does shall
    prosper.

    • Jeremiah 29:11 (NKJV) For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says
    the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.

    • This is important for us to understand about God, because most fear,


    anxiety, worry, and dread, is about the future.

    • Consider

    • (See) Psalm 115:14

    • (See) Deuteronomy 1:11

    Our Cultures View vs. God's View of Success

    • I believe that we live in a culture that has misrepresented what success is.

    • American Heritage Dictionary: the achievement of something planned desired


    or attempted; the gaining of fame or prosperity;

    • We live in a culture that defines success as doing something “grand/big”


    or being well known by all.

    • …or that success is about rising up social status….

    • It matters where your definitions in life comes from

    • God’s definition of success is being faithful to do what God has given you to
    do.

    • Because of a distorted definition of success many, Believers under-value


    themselves because they are waiting for something “grand/big” to happen to
    them. They are waiting on something that makes them well known or waiting
    for something that changes their social status before they consider
    themselves successful.

    • But Jesus teaches us what success is in the parable of the talents when He
    said to two of the three men to whom He had given talents, “….welll done
    good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over (a few things, little
    things, this small amount) I will make you ruler over many things.

    • In this parable Jesus describes success as faithfully managing and


    increasing the talent, gifts opportunities, (i.e., the little thing) that you
    have been given.

    QUALIFIED FOR CONTINUAL PROGRESS

    • Proverbs 4:18 NKJV But the path of the just is like the shining sun, That shines ever
    brighter unto the perfect day.”

    • Being "born-again" makes the possibility of continual progress available to


    you/us.

    GOD DOES NOT PLAY FAVORITES

    • Acts 10:34 “The Peter opened his mouth and said, In truth I perceive that God
    shows no partiality

    • Acts 10:34 (NLT) “Then Peter replied, ‘I see very clearly that God shows no
    favoritism’ ”

    • Deuteronomy 10:17 (NKJV) - For the LORD you God is God of gods and Lord of
    lords, the great God, mighty and awesome, who shows no partiality nor takes a
    bribe. [God cannot be bought]

    • Job 34:19 (AMP) - {God} is not partial to princes, nor does He regard the rich more
    than the poor, for they all are the work of His hands.

    • Romans 2:11 (AMP) - For God shows no partiality {undue favor or unfairness; with
    Him one man is not different from another}.

    • There is a tendency to think of someone that we believe to be enjoying


    more success than we are; especially within the minds of Christians, that
    even though God loves everyone, evidently He must just love some people
    more than others

    • What these scriptures teach us today: If anybody has every succeeded,


    you can succeed. If anybody has every: had a healthy, happy marriage; or a
    strong, thriving spiritual life; or build a great business/career; or a healthy
    body; or be debt free; or own their own home;

    GOD HAS FIXED OUR FIGHTS

    • I Corinthians 10:13 (NKJV) - No temptation has overtaken you except such as is


    common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond
    what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that
    you may be able to bear it

    • I Corinthians 10:13 (AMP) - No temptation [regardless of its source] has overtaken or


    enticed you that is not common to human experience [nor is any temptation unusual
    or beyond human resistance]; but God is faithful [to His word—He is compassionate
    and trustworthy], and He will not let you be tempted beyond your ability [to resist],
    but along with the temptation He [has in the past and is now and] will [always]
    provide the way out as well, so that you will be able to endure it [without yielding,
    and will overcome temptation with joy].

    • evil can approach us; but God has set the boundaries;  because God knows
    your capacity as an individual (breaking point, tap out point), He will never
    allow more to come upon you, test/challenge, than you can handle.  So what
    you're going through has a limit); you are going through it with certain rules
    that have been written about your circumstance or situation, it cannot go
    beyond - your capacity to bear up under it.

    • It is God’s nature to establish boundaries:

    • Genesis 1: Boundaries of light and darkness

    • Psalm 74:17 - He established the boundaries of the earth

    • Proverbs 8:29 He assigned to the sea its limit(boundaries)

    • Deuteronomy 32:8, Acts 17:26 - He set the boundaries for all the
    Nation/people groups of the earth… He started with on man/
    woman and from one blood created all the ethnic group and
    established the boundaries of where different group of men would
    live

    • Here’s what we need to understand: God knows you better than you do.
    Therefore God knows your capacity to bear, better than you do. If you're
    currently experiencing a test, there are two things you can be assured of:

    1. You can endure the test - even at your current level of faith.

    2. God will be faithful to make a way of escape.

    • God is Faithful

    • Faithful to His promises - some 8,810 promises in the Bible and He is


    faithful to everyone

    • Faithful His compassionate nature -

    Impact church of tampa ~ June 12, 2016


    • Psalms 103:13-14 NKJV - “As a father pities his children, So the
    LORD pities those who fear Him. For He knows our frame; He
    remembers that we are dust.”

    OUR SUCCESS IS RIGGED BY GOD - He set it up in advance for us to win; all He


    wants you to do is to trust His Him, and the trust His word.
