Unbiased Self-Assessment

Presentation transcript:

Romans 12:3 “How do I come to grips with the real me?”

Week One Loving God & loving people 24/7 from the heart!! What is true spirituality? Relationship (Matthew 11:28-30)

Week Two Am I going to trust God? OR Am I going to trust myself? Surrender How do I give God what He wants the most? (Romans 12:1)

Week Three How do we get God’s best for our life? By getting serious about being intentional in our walk with God By refusing to compromise in spite of the cost Conviction & Courage (Romans 12:2)

Today Who do you really think you are? Not what you want other people to think you are. Not what you think other people think you are. In the mirror of your soul, what do you see? Who are you? (Romans 12:3-8)

We want… To look good for others To find significance, value and acceptance

Our desperate longing for approval drives us… To seek To look To act To be What others want!

You Need to Understand If you don’t get a sober self- assessment and understand who you really are, you will never fulfill God’s call that He has for you!

Ephesians 2:10 “For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.” NIV

Understand This… Parents Background Physical DNA Hardships Birth Order ALL are used by a sovereign God to prepare you for your divine assignment.

Ask Yourself These Things What were the values I was taught? What were the beliefs I was shown? Who were my heroes?

He is in control! He wants to use it ALL for good! It was true of Moses. And it’s true of you and me!

Understand how we got to where we are now… Also take a good look at how we view ourselves. In Our Self Evaluation

Moses’ View of Himself Was too high early in life Power Prestige Abilities Education Background He tried to do God’s will his own way, in his own energy, and in his own power.

Moses’ Excuses At The Burning Bush – Exodus 3 I’m a nobody. God Answers: “I’ll be with you.” I’m not smart enough. God Answers: “I have made a path for you, they will believe you.” I’m not credible. God Answers: “All you need to do is to trust me and get your focus off of yourself.” I’m not a very good speaker. God Answers: “I’ve gifted you for this job.”

Moses is as reluctant as he can be and yet God’s got his hand on him. Amazing example of God’s mercy and grace given to a man!

Romans 12:3a “For by the grace given (to) me…” NIV

Romans 12:3b “…think of yourself with sober judgment in accordance with the measure of the faith that God has given you.” NIV

How do we think soberly about ourselves? By making faith the measure of our mind By making faith the measure of our heart By making faith the measure of our life Faith is looking to Christ to measure, and guide our every step.

The Key to An Honest & Accurate Picture of Who We Are… Is knowing the foundation of our self-worth – which is our identity in Christ

Apart from Jesus we can do nothing that has eternal value… But in Him we are precious and capable of service for the Kingdom of God!!

We need to see our true value in God’s eyes and walk as a child of God instead of a child of the world.
