Intro: Let’s see if you can name which branch of the arm service these phrased are used.? Be All That You Can Be! (Army) - “Aim High, Fly-Fight-Win”(Air Force) - “The Few, The Proud“ (Marines) - “Born Ready” (Coast Guard) - “Forged by the Sea” (Navy)
These slogans was so good; the branches of the military had not been changed for a very long time.
Q. Now If your life had a slogan…what would it be? If your work had a slogan…what would that be? – Now the real question? Are you the best that God wants you to be, if not, then what is holding you back. What are you afraid of, or have you even given this any thought to what you can be?
How about this one, how did you become better at what you know how to do, take me for example. I know how to do many things and have many talents and skills, how did all of this come about?
Well it started a long time ago with me as a child and though out my child hood I was told by many, that was never was going to amount to nothing, was told many times your not good enough, or better yet at times were told I was dumb and slow.
Why well for one I was deaf and hard of hearing in my good ear, and I had a speech problem because of this handicap and it caused me to be slow and at times I was rejected from normal activities because people treated me in this way.
So because of this, I purposed it into my mind as I got older, I was going to do all I could do and learn all I could and be the best in what I could be.
Folks this was nothing more than divine help from God who helped me through out my life, because he knew I could be something in his eyes and be the best I could be and he had a plan for me, just the same as he has for you.
Reading: Psalms 139:14 - I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well.

Title: Be The Best With God
My bothers and sisters in Christ, God wants us to experience His very best…that’s why He gave His very best…. His son, Jesus Christ that we may always walk in Victory in every area of our lives.
If you desire to become the best in your field, seek out the person that really excels in that field and learn from him or her, eat from his or her table…. sit at their feet! (Humbly speaking!)
If at times your not sure of what your good at or what plans God has in store for you or what talents he want you to use for his glory then seek him and the people he uses in those fields to help you find the path your seeking.
Because If God is showing you a person who really excels in your field of interest, then it’s not for us to be intimidated by this person, but God is showing you this person so that you can draw from them, thus elevating our own performance.
Be it in the area of: 1.Law Enforcement- 2. Medical- 3.City-Parish-or State-or Government- 4.Education, 5. Child-care or Ministry-whether in Music, or as a Minister, Administrator, or Teacher…. seek out the very best in that field and apply yourself to learning to become better in what your heart desires.
Because the companions /or the people that you choose to hang around can be like buttons on an elevator…. they can either take you up or take you down.
And if we choose to surround ourselves with people who are not sowing seeds of life or righteousness in us, or living contrary to the way of the Lord, we will began to lower our standard of excellence. Then we start to Settle for less! This should not be, God made us to be better in what he created us for.
Psalms 100:3 says - Know that the LORD, he is God! It is he who made us, and we are his; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.
The key to staying on the path of a Godly life and to meet your goals is walking with those who will, Motivate you & be honest with you about yourself. They won’t let you make a fool of yourself!
But they will Challenge you unto righteousness And encourage you to be all that you can be for God, in your skills, talents and in your life.
People who motivate you to take your life, gifts and Christian walk to the next level and then to the next dimension are those who walk in the Divine Wisdom of God.
You want to adhere to those people who will steer you in the right direction and avoid the ones who will tear you down.
The Bible say’s in 1 Corinthians 15:33 - Do not be deceived: “Bad company ruins good morals.” And if we allow the enemy a foothold… he will gladly become a: Vision and a joy killer, A Destiny thief, An assassinator of Marriage & Family and a devourer all in one day!
The enemy will send people into your lives to rob you of your place with God…and that…we cannot ALLOW!
Before you know it, the enemy will have you speaking death to all that is good for you…objecting to everything that God has ordained for your life.
Why because again the bible says in John 8:44 - You are of your father the devil, and your will is to do your father's desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks out of his own character, for he is a liar and the father of lies.
See he knows no truth he is out to destroy you and therefore, disabling the flow of God’s harmony and peace in your life. Don’t be drawn into a conversation with such people that you may regret later. Use your mouth to bless people to the glory of God! And be the very best for God and his Glory.
I read this somewhere once, and they said “ if you are not giving people Jesus…you are giving them Hell! Now what ya’ gonna to do…Sour with the eagles or scratch with the chickens?
See….Eagles are: Bold, intelligent and majestic creatures, they are confident and know who they are… Eagles can fly at least 500 ft into the air and see a mouse running in the grass and will attack with military accuracy. (pin-point-him-) (lunch-time).
I liken that to the discernment of God…, which is far greater. Discernment from God will give you an X-ray vision to guard yourself against the attacks of the enemy and allow you to receive a “See it before you See” type blessing!
Now a chicken is the most clumsiest, weakest, non-thinking creature in the bird family. A chicken is without courage or desire to excel is Without vision or drive and eats the worst of foods and accepts anything that’s given to him And is open for contaminations from anyone.
Again, …The Word of God say’s “Bad company ruins good morals.” ….so be very careful of what and whom you draw yourself to.
Because if we tolerate darkness thru unfruitful relationships and conversations, we leave ourselves open and vulnerable to satanic attack in the area of our: Our minds, Our bodies, Our families, Our Church and our communities & so forth.
In closing……..
Why this message, well I want you to understand your are a child of God who has made you and he made you to become something wonderful. Never sell yourself short folks.
Never surrender your deliverance to the enemy…Luke 11:35…say’s Therefore be careful lest the light in you be darkness. See…There’s a light in you…so watch out that the light in you is not blotted out or turned off like a light switch!
Why, well again the answer is simple, someone is always watching you! Remember friends, we are the only Bible that some people are going to read!
I want to further encourage you that if you see weakness in the Body of Christ in any area…. Our job is to supply strength.
If we see unfruitfulness / or sinful communication, Our response is to be an example of virtue & by pointing them to the Word of God.
When we discern others walking in fear, Our job is to impart courage, let them know they are more than conquerors!
When we discern a family torn down in their spirits, Our call is to encourage them & enter into intercession for them and stay there until they are built up in that area.
Because as people of God, we have a charge to keep and a God to Glorify! You believe that today…then give the Lord a Shout of Victory…
And until the next time we meet, I hope something that was said to in this message tonight may Minister to You!
Folks be all that you can be with God and lets give Glory to him.
Amen!
