We
all want to win, but sometimes the game gets away from us. When you
find yourself down in the 4th
quarter, you need a game changer.
A game changer is a play that ultimately alters the outcome of the game by changing the momentum of the game.
I think that we could use a game changer in the year 2019.
What does somebody need to change the game? Is it money, power, intellect, or beauty? No. All that you need are moves from the playbook.
I believe that the move which will make a significant difference between your 2019 and last year has already been written down in the bible 1000's of years ago.
Now - If you do not believe that the bible is the word of God, then I challenge you to hear out this message. I am going to show you a game-changing plan straight from the bible. I believe that before we are finished, you will see that this plan is what you need in your life.
Here
are some game changers who have used a similar plan to change the
world.
Let
me give you some examples.
JJ
Watt & Lebron James
J.J.
Watt is one of the greatest Defensive Ends to ever play football. He
has won too many defensive awards to tell you about during his 7 year
career with the Houston Texans.
Yet
what Watt may be most known for is his reaction to Hurricane Harvey
that hit the Houston area last year. J.J. Watt started a foundation
that raised 41.6 million dollars for those effected by the Hurricane.
In this picture, Lebron James was getting scored on in the 2011 NBA finals by Dallas Mavericks great Dirk Novitski! Currently, Lebron is probably the most recognizable sports figure on earth right now. Currently a forward for the Los Angeles Lakers, King James has won 3 NBA Championships and many other league awards. Yet his greatest contribution may be the school he started last year in Akron called the “I Promise” school. The multi-million dollar school will help generations of at-risk youth.
The
world is used to Super Stars receiving trophies, but this last year
the world stopped to appreciate these game changing athletes who
served their communities through giving.
Toms
Shoes
Toms is a for-profit shoe company. The Company started in 2006 and from the beginning, the company has served children in 3rd world nations who do not have shoes. For every pair of shoes they sell, they give a pair of shoes away to a child in need. This company is known for making canvas shoes and for serving others. Now the company that started with a risky 500 thousand investment is worth half a billion dollars.
Service
is a game changer. The world had seen shoes stores before… but the
world had never seen anything like Toms. A FOR PROFIT that is known
for its NON-PROFIT service.
Mother
Teresa
A
Christian lady, a nun, who received world-wide recognition like the
Nobel Peace Prize for her service to those in need; Mother Teresa was
a game changer by serving. In 1952 she started a hospice house. This
was a house for the poor & terminally sick to be cared for. It
is called “home for the dying” and still stands in Kolkata,
India.
At
the age of 18, with no formal education, with she heard about the
needs of those in India and decided that was what she would do with
her life. And she did.
