Sermon by Jentezen Franklin: Real Fans

Real Enthusiasm is God based!
Real Enthusiasm is Jesus Based!



Real Fans have the following characteristics 
( Take time to ask yourself "am I a real fan of God?" after each point .
Be Honest with yourself!)


1) Real Fans arrive early : They can never be late to a game!
 Do you make it to church on time?
Or do you always aim to get there half an hour before service is over?
Are you a real fan?

2) Real fans endure any kind of weather : They will never miss a game because of rain or snow!
Do you let the weather decide whether or not you are going to church?
Or do not care about the weather?
Are you a real fan?

3) Real fans want the best seat in the house :  They want to be as close as they can to where the action is!
 Are you a side line Christian?
Or are you a Disciple of Jesus Christ?
Are you a real fan?

4) Real fans never miss a game:  They keep talking about the game before and after it, they can never miss a game!
Is Church the highlight of your week?
Or is it just another place to go on Sunday (if you can make it that is) ?
Are you a real fan?
( Bethel: "Jacob called the place where God had talked with him Bethel."Genesis 35:15 )

5) Real fans memorize stats : They know by heart the different stats players and/or teams have
Do you memorize all or many of the current music that is out there?
Do you know the entire script of a movie you watched a billion times?
Have you tried to memorize bible verses?
Are you a real fan?

6) Real fans pay : They never miss a game because they have to pay for it, they just pay for it!
Do you give tithe?
Do you support missionaries and help the support ministry?
Do you help spread the Gospel?
Do you feel that you should spend your money else where?
Are you a real fan?
(Treasure: "For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also."Matthew 6:21 )

7) Real fans are vocal : They can never stop talking about their favorite team or player
Do you praise God out loud?
Do you speak of His goodness?
Do you feel you are too cool for that??
Are you a real fan?
(Vocal: "For the director of music. Of the Sons of Korah. A psalm. Clap your hands, all you nations; shout to God with cries of joy." Psalms 47:1 )

Stay Blessed<3

Sermon by Jentezen Franklin: Refuse to Pretend

Be a Contender not a Pretender!  1) The time Jacob labored to get Rachel was nothing to him because of how much he loved her. Similarly when you love God all the sacrifices you make are nothing..if you truly love Him that is! "So Jacob served seven years to get Rachel, but they seemed like only a few days to him because of his love for her." Genesis 29:20 Rachel is his first Love..She is representation of Jesus and His Love where as Leah is the  substitute ..not the real one. Rachel is the one where as Leah is the second option..not the best! Leah is Religion where as Rachel is Relationship with Christ Leah is Survival where as Rachel is Revival 2) Do not be Pretenders but Contenders "Dear friends,  although I was very eager to write to you about the salvation we share,  I felt compelled to write and urge you to contend  for the faith  that was once for all entrusted to God’s holy people."Jude 1:3 Do not be like people who come t...

When the Music Stops...

Hey Friends, I am trying to honour my commitment to make at least one blog post a month, so here goes July. That being said, please know that I am not posting for the sake of posting. I am trying to cultivate an active listening skill when it comes to each topic I share i.e. I will not post until I am convinced I heard from my heavenly daddy. I hope this is one speaks to you. :)   When the Music Stops... This marks the first time I talk about my hubby-to-be on this blog. This man is a Gem! He is a true worshipper, a man after God's heart. He also happens to be an anointed worship leader :) I am not saying that because I love him, I promise. The reason I bring him up though is because one of the very many conversations we have had about music is a good illustration to the point I will make later in this post. He mentioned that  it is common practice amongst some parents to hide their kids' musical instruments closer to exam seasons in the hopes of helping them focus...
