Today Is A Great Day To Resign | BRANON DEMPSEY Episode 198

Resign From The Expectations

Depend On God's Expectations, not others.

You should resign everyday….
 
My story 
What I thought worship leading was and what it isn’t 
 
1 RESIGN from leading worship and your expectationsLeading worship is not the way you intend it to be, but the way God intends it to be.
Psalms 40:8 (NIV) I desire to do your will, my God; your law is within my heart.
 
”Hosea 6:6 (NIV) 
For I desire mercy, not sacrifice, and acknowledgment of God rather than burnt offerings. Romans 9:16 (NIV) 
It does not, therefore, depend on human desire or effort, but on God’s mercy.
 
2. RESIGN from expectations from others and what they say about you. 
1 Timothy 4:12 (NIV) Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity.
 
3. EMBRACE who you are / not who you think you are
1 John 4:16 (NIV) And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them.
 
Ephesians 1:9 (NIV) 
he made known to us the mystery of his will according to his good pleasure, which he purposed in Christ, Psalms 100:3 (NIV) 
Know that the Lord is God. It is he who made us, and we are his; we are his people, the sheep of his pasture. 
 
4. EMBRACE how God has called you and equipped you to lead
2 Corinthians 3:6 (NIV) 
He has made us competent as ministers of a new covenant—not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.
 
2 Timothy 3:17 (NIV)so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.
 
2 Thessalonians 2:14 (NIV) He called you to this through our gospel, that you might share in the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
 
5. LEAVE it all to Christ – forgetting the past and stride ahead in the upward call of Jesus.
This is why it SHOULD MATTER TO YOU Isaiah 43:18 (NIV) 
“Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. 
 
Proverbs 4:5 (NIV) 
Get wisdom, get understanding; do not forget my words or turn away from them. James 1:24 (NIV) 
and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like.
 
Philippians 3:14 (NIV) I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.
