The Spiritual Discipline Of Living an Above and Beyond Life
Above and Beyond - Kingdom First Leadership
Time
Principle:
Deuteronomy 12;15 MSG
No working on the Sabbath; keep it holy just as God, your God, commanded you. Work six days, doing everything you have to do, but the seventh day is a Sabbath, a Rest Day—no work: not you, your son, your daughter, your servant, your maid, your ox, your donkey (or any of your animals), and not even the foreigner visiting your town. That way your servants and maids will get the same rest as you. Don’t ever forget that you were slaves in Egypt and God, your God, got you out of there in a powerful show of strength. That’s why God, your God, commands you to observe the day of Sabbath rest.
Mark 2:27
“The Sabbath was made for people, not people for the Sabbath.”
Sabbath is 1 full 24hr period Sabbath is 14% of your week.
To honour the Sabbath is to unlock an area of supernatural favour in the area of productivity in our lives in the same way that tilting unlocks supernatural financial favour.
Practice:
Stop / Rest / Delight / Contemplate
Sabbath as a discipline can be applied by giving a day to God through the local Church. Or even 3 hours out of that 25 hr period at church where we can stop, rest, delight and contemplate.
The world is catching onto this and there is a burgeoning movement today called ‘slow productivity.”

Principle:
Matthew 6:19-21 NLT
“Don’t store up treasures here on earth, where moths eat them and rust destroys them, and where thieves break in and steal. Store your treasures in heaven, where moths and rust cannot destroy, and thieves do not break in and steal. Wherever your treasure is, there the desires of your heart will also be.”
Practice:
Haggai 1:9 NLT “You hoped for rich harvests, but they were poor. And when you brought your harvest home, I blew it away. Why? Because my house lies in ruins, says the Lord of Heaven’s Armies, while all of you are busy building your own fine houses.”
Begins with Tithing (giving God 10% through the local church) but doesn’t stop there.
Power (autonomy/independance)
Principle:
Psalms 37:3-5 TPT “Keep trusting in the Lord and do what is right in his eyes. Fix your heart on the promises of God and you will be secure, feasting on his faithfulness. Make God the utmost delight and pleasure of your life, and he will provide for you what you desire the most. Give God the right to direct your life, and as you trust him along the way you’ll find he pulled it off perfectly!”
Matthew 16:24-26 MSG
“Then Jesus went to work on his disciples. “Anyone who intends to come with me has to let me lead. You’re not in the driver’s seat; I am. Don’t run from suffering; embrace it. Follow me and I’ll show you how. Self-help is no help at all. Self-sacrifice is the way, my way, to finding yourself, your true self. What kind of deal is it to get everything you want but lose yourself? What could you ever trade your soul for?”
Practice:
Submission (Honouring spiritual leadership through the life of a local church)
1 Corinthians 10:33, 11:1-2 TPT Follow my example, for I try to please everyone in all things, rather than putting my liberty first. I sincerely attempt to do anything I can so that others may be saved. I want you to pattern your lives after me, just as I pattern mine after Christ. And I give you full credit for always keeping me in mind as you follow carefully the substance of my instructions.
Who are we patterning our lives after and whom are we calling to do the same after us?
