Not Fooling Around
Little Zachary was doing very badly in math.
His parents had tried everything......
Tutors, Mentors, flash cards,
Special learning centers. In short, everything they could think of to help his math. Finally, in a last ditch effort, they took Zachary down and enrolled him in the local Catholic school. After the first day, little Zachary came home with a very serious look on his face. He didn't even kiss his mother Hello. Instead, he went straight to his room and started studying. Books and papers were spread out all over the room and little Zachary was hard at work.
His mother was amazed. She called him down to dinner. To her shock, the minute he was done, he marched back to his room without a word, and in no time, he was back hitting the books as hard as before. This went on for some time, day after day, while the mother tried to understand what made all the difference.
Finally, little Zachary brought home his report Card. He quietly laid it on the table, went up to his room and hit the books. With great trepidation, His Mom looked at it and to her great surprise, Little Zachary got an 'A' in math. She could no Longer hold her curiosity.
She went to his room and said, 'Son, what was it? Was it the nuns?' Little
Zachary looked at her and shook his head, no. 'Well, then,' she replied, Was it the books, the discipline, the structure, the uniforms? 'WHAT WAS IT ALREADY?'
Little Zachary looked at her and said, 'Well, on the first day of school when I saw that guy nailed to the plus sign, I knew they weren't fooling around.'

Who Are You?
How your identity makes or breaks your life To watch this message on video please Click Here

Identity - Your true self image
How do you see yourself?
What do you say when you make a mistake?
What’s the image you have of yourself?
Your Identity will determine how other people view you.
It will also cause you to disqualify or endorse yourself when promotions or opportunities attempt to come your way.
A false or negative identity will snap you back to worthlessness.
You can never get away from yourself.
Self fulfilling prophecies like, “I’ll never amount to anything.” or “If it weren’t for bad luck I’d have no luck at all.” “Nothing ever goes my way.” “Once a red neck always a red neck.” etc.
Identity is shaped by those in authority in our lives. The level and impact of input received is directly proportional to the amount of love and honor extended toward that person in authority.

Exodus 20:12
"Honor your father and your mother, so that you may live long in the land the LORD your God is giving you.
Input from people in Authority
There are two types of extreme input.
1. positive and uplifting
2. negative and degrading. Both inputs have a powerful effect.
Proverbs 18:21
The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit.
The Highest Authority
Philippians 2:9
Therefore God exalted him (Jesus) to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name,
Revelation Knowledge
Ephesians 1:17
I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better.
A word about rebellion. It’s a safety mechanism against degrading and destructive authority figures. Unfortunately it’s a blanket approach to a specific problem precipitated by usually only one or a few key individuals.
Culture Shock for an African man the power of words to create identity.

How Do you See Yourself?
Humbly but with value is what I believe is the appropriate answer.
The Cross screams! You are valuable.
A story about the power of a strong identity in the specific areas of confidence. Trip to St. Marten.
A large enemy of a healthy identity: Rejection
Feelings of rejection.
Notice I said feelings of rejection not necessarily actual rejection.

How to Get to Heaven
A little boy was waiting for his mother to come out of the groceryStore. As he waited, he was approached by a man who asked, "Son, can
You tell me where the Post Office is?"
The little boy replied, "Sure! just go straight down this street a
couple a blocks and turn to your right."
The man thanked the boy kindly and said, "I'm a new pastor in town.
I'd like for you to come to church on Sunday. I'll show you how to get
to Heaven."
The little boy replied with a chuckle. "Awww, come on... You don't Even know the way to the Post Office."
