2:25do me a favor all caps i'm built for

2:28this i'm built

2:30for this family i want to start

2:33uh this particular sermon with a

2:35sentence

2:36of significance that i believe is

2:40salient to this message and and

2:42substantive

2:43for our lives and that is that our lives

2:47will look like

2:49our ability to accept to adjust

2:53and even to admit the need

2:57for growth that our lives will look like

3:01our ability to accept to adjust

3:04and even admit the need

3:08for growth in essence what i'm saying is

3:10that growth

3:11in any area of life is not automatic

3:15or accidental growth in any area of

3:19life is intentional somebody in your

3:22house

3:23say intentional i believe that we have

3:26to make watch this

3:27a deliberate decision uh

3:30as it pertains to our spiritual

3:33emotional

3:33relational financial and even

3:36professional

3:38growth growth growth growth growth

3:40growth in any area of life

3:43is not accidental it's not automatic

3:47it is in fact intentional

3:50this is interesting because the reason

3:53that that is important for many of us

3:55is because god has watch this god has

3:58wired us

3:59uh in a way that we have a desire for

4:02more

4:03and it resides on the inside of us

4:06regardless of whether or not we try to

4:08suppress it

4:09or regardless of whether or not we try

4:11to ignore it

4:12this is interesting because the glow for

4:15growth is all over us y'all didn't hear

4:18what i just said

4:19the glow for growth is all

4:22over us some of you know exactly what

4:24i'm talking to

4:26you in your kitchen some of you know

4:28exactly what i'm talking about

4:30because you can't explain it but there's

4:32something going on within the recesses

4:34and even the corridors

4:36of your heart and of your mind you can't

4:38explain it

4:39you can't verbalize it all you know is

4:41that you're allergic to

4:43average all you know is that you're not

4:46satisfied with the status quo all you

4:49know

4:50is that you aren't excited about just

4:52enough all you know

4:54is you think normal is a nuisance you

4:57think

4:57that you're opposed to the ordinary and

5:00i believe

5:00that there's a remnant there's a select

5:03few there's a group of us

5:04that can say for real for real in a real

5:06sense in my dna god has wired me to win

5:11don't trip i'm just exegeting my

5:12audience right now i know who i'm

5:13talking to

5:14somebody on the other side of this

5:16camera understands that god has

5:18wired me to win he's meticulously

5:22molded me for more he has he has rooted

5:25on the inside of me

5:27this deep desire and this deep satisf

5:30this deep

5:31dissatisfaction with normal he's called

5:33me type this in the chat

5:35to grow y'all ain't saying nothing in

5:37here the glow

5:38to grow is all over

5:41is all over you tax somebody

5:45and tell them that tax about for real if

5:47you believe it tell them that the glow

5:48is over you tell them the glow is all

5:50over you just tag tag you got to put a

5:52name in there

5:52tag them and put the glow is all over

5:56you yeah yeah yeah yeah so so so so it's

5:59interesting when you have watch this

6:01i'm just walking i'm just talking it's

6:03interesting when you have this glow on

6:05you because sometimes

6:06you feel awkward right you feel awkward

6:09i'm just exegeting the audience i know

6:10who i'm talking to

6:12you feel awkward in certain environments

6:14when the glow to grow is all over you

6:16the reason that you feel awkward in

6:18certain environments is because

6:20some people think that you're ungrateful

6:22and other people think that you're

6:24greedy

6:26they say why aren't you just satisfied

6:28that's what they say

6:29you why aren't you just satisfied with

6:31this job why aren't you just

6:33satisfied with that relationship why

6:34aren't you just satisfied with that

6:36financial position why aren't you just

6:38satisfied with where you are in life but

6:40they don't understand

6:41that you're not ungrateful no that's not

6:43it you're not greedy

6:45that's not it you just have a desire to

6:47grow that's all it is

6:48and the reason that you only have two

6:50friends and one cousin

6:51that still like you is because some

6:53people are satisfied

6:55on the level that they're on but you

6:57know that god has called you thank you

6:59sierra

7:00god has called you thank you sierra god

7:02has called you

7:03to level up level y'all ain't saying

7:04nothing god has called you to level up

7:07to another level in life and if i'm

7:10preaching to anybody on the other side

7:11of this camera

7:12i need you to do me a favor all caps

7:14just type grow

7:16in the yeah type growth y'all still

7:19laughing at sierra god

7:20has called us to grow this word

7:24is not just a word for somebody else

7:27this word

7:28is a word especially if you're

7:30intimately connected to this family

7:32to this fresh family this word is a word

7:34for you if you remember at the very

7:36beginning of this year

7:37january i believe god has given us a

7:40whoo

7:40god i feel like preaching today god gave

7:43us

7:44a word and that word was to grow we

7:46didn't know

7:47what kind of growth god was calling us

7:49to do but god said you're going to grow

7:50this year this is going to be the year

7:52it's going to be a redefining year is

7:53what god said

7:54a redefining year not just for this

7:56ministry but for the people intimately

7:58connected to this ministry

8:00and anybody who knows me knows that i'm

8:02in a real sense i'm

8:03i'm anti-naming and claiming i'm

8:05anti-blabbering grab it i'm

8:06anti-said and spread but i do believe in

8:09affirmations and biblical declarations

8:11so i'm getting ready to release

8:12something over your life

8:13and i want you to receive it if you

8:15receive it and if it hits you it hits

8:17you if it doesn't

8:18god bless you either way i'm believing

8:20that 2020 pandemic and all

8:22oh god i feel this i'm believing 2020

8:26pandemic and all receive this is going

8:28to be your year

8:30for exponential growth that's what i

8:32said exponential growth do you receive

8:35that

8:35this is going to be the year of

8:38exponential

8:39growth this is going to be the year that

8:41you move

8:42from potential that you move from

8:46potential

8:47to production this is going to be the

8:49year that god

8:50literally begins something on the inside

8:53of you

8:54that's going to start on the inside all

8:56folks say there's something on the

8:57inside

8:58and it's working on the outside oh what

9:00a ch in other words god is getting ready

9:02to move you from one place to the next

9:05somebody just type exponential growth

9:07exponential growth

9:09the thing about exponential growth is

9:11exponential growth

9:12isn't instantaneous it's incremental

9:16i got i got time today and that's what

9:18we're supposed to i got time today

9:20exponential growth is not simply

9:22instantaneous

9:23it's incremental in other words you're

9:25going to see season

9:26after season let me speak this over some

9:29businesses

9:30you're going to see season after season

9:33being in the black

9:34you're going to see c year after year of

9:37income you're going to see client bases

9:39rise

9:40you're going to see your your clientele

9:42even switch to a different demographic

9:44y'all better receive this

9:45in a real sense god says 2020 pandemic

9:48in all

9:49some people watch this you're getting

9:51ready to get paid in the pandemic for

9:52real for real

9:53you're getting ready to get paid in the

9:55pandemic what other people are gonna say

9:58they don't understand what's happening

9:59with you you ain't gonna be able to take

10:01no credit

10:02don't give the credit to anybody just

10:04say that god has wired me to win

10:06and this is my year for growth this is

10:09my year

10:10for growth i haven't even gotten to my

10:13text yet

10:14but it's all good the reason that this

10:17is important

10:18because all throughout scripture we see

10:20uh we see this this

10:21this theme running uh through scripture

10:24because when i'm talking about growth

10:26what i'm

10:26not what i'm actually referring to is

10:28productivity

10:30i'm actually referring to uh production

10:33the the bible the word that the bible

10:35uses for

10:35uh for growth for productivity is a word

10:38that when i say it you'll know exactly

10:39what it is

10:40uh i'm bringing my title here uh the

10:42word that the bible uses

10:44is fruitfulness yeah yeah

10:47yeah yeah it's fruitfulness fruitfulness

10:50god is uniquely interested in the type

10:54of fruit we bear watch this and the

10:56timing at which we bury it

10:59god is extremely interested in the type

11:03and the timing fruitfulness is important

11:06to god watch this

11:07uh uh because because he understands

11:10that it's our fruitfulness

11:11that literally makes our lives matter

11:14right

11:14here's what's interesting we all want

11:16our lives to matter right

11:18and one of the ways that our lives

11:19matters is by what we

11:21produce now i'm not just saying that we

11:24are only what we produce but when i say

11:25fruit i'll unpack it later but when i

11:27talk about fruitfulness i'm talking

11:28about something even larger than

11:30uh the quantity of something watch we'll

11:32get there we'll get there

11:34so watch this a purpose-driven life is a

11:36fruitful life

11:37a purpose-driven life is a fruitful

11:40life right this is important a

11:42purpose-driven life is a fruitful life

11:45i got to walk and talk this this

11:47particular point i want you to write

11:48this

11:49this there's another affirmation i want

11:50you to write down i want you to write

11:52this down right in the chat i'm living a

11:53fruitful life just write there

11:55i'm living a fruitful life come on come

11:57on i'm living a fruitful life

11:59right this is interesting a fruitful

12:01life a fruitful life is when you produce

12:02what you've been created to produce

12:05i'm not talking about busyness i'm

12:07talking about fruitful

12:09right a fruitful life is when you

12:12produce

12:13what you were created to produce we're

12:15talking about

12:16purpose right here's the issue the

12:19culture that we live in

12:20values being famous over being fruitful

12:25i'll go here right the culture that we

12:27live in

12:28they vow we our culture values being

12:30famous

12:31over being fruitful so in essence what

12:34we're what we're more concerned is

12:36about is we want the likes we want the

12:38shares

12:39we want the the retweets we want the we

12:42want the fame

12:44uh but we don't necessarily always

12:46desire the fruit

12:48this is so good so here's what happens

12:50if we're not careful

12:52we'll get sucked into the trap of trying

12:54to be more famous

12:55when god is saying don't worry about the

12:57fame worry about the fruit

12:59because the fruit is indicative of

13:00purpose the fame is indicative of people

13:03and if you're not if you're not careful

13:05you'll mistake one for the other you'll

13:07think

13:07that because people know me that i'm

13:09fruitful that's not the case

13:11but if you can be fruitful and people

13:13not know you and you'll be impactful

13:16so so we have to seek fruit over fame

13:21we we have to seek seek seek fruit over

13:24fame in a real sense we when we get to

13:27the point that we want to be fruitful

13:28that means we want to walk in purpose

13:30and we want to walk in purpose not only

13:32uh simply just a walking purpose but

13:34at the highest level that we can here's

13:35what's important here's what happens

13:38we we become we this this desire

13:41to know more about what it is that god

13:44has purposed

13:45us to do in the earth it grows here's

13:48what so so i'll give you an example man

13:50i'm not good at a lot of things trust me

13:52i'm not

13:54trust me you hang around me long enough

13:55you'll know that i'm not good at a lot

13:57of things

13:57but there are some things that i know

13:58that god has called me to do one of

14:00those things

14:00one of those things is teaching uh

14:02speaking and preaching i know that

14:04that that that's it it brings me passion

14:07i love it

14:08it's something i'll wake me up at 3am in

14:10the morning i'm doing it it doesn't

14:11matter

14:12wake me up at 4 15 a.m let's do it let's

14:15go what's the text

14:16all right uh it's not confidence it's

14:19just it's not cockiness it's confidence

14:21i just know what god has called me to do

14:23and and some of us some of us we got to

14:24get this

14:25we got to start here we won't be

14:27fruitful until we're honest

14:30you won't be fruitful until you're

14:32honest you've let people

14:34abate you into this false humility piece

14:36to where you oh i'm not really that no

14:38everybody needs to know what they're

14:40good at come on come on that's not

14:42arrogance

14:43you need to know what you're good at so

14:44when you know what you're good at then

14:46you can be fruitful at it

14:47so there are times in my life well every

14:49year literally every

14:50with the exception of this year every

14:52year passes on you know we travel

14:54right we travel to different uh uh

14:56different places

14:58we travel to different trainings we

14:59travel to different leadership

15:01conferences

15:01which we and we go and we sit all the

15:04way in the back

15:05and we sit down with a notepad and a

15:08recorder

15:09and and and and and all of the devices

15:12that we can in order to capture as much

15:14information as we can

15:15and you know the reason that we do that

15:17is because we know what god has placed

15:18us in the earth to do

15:19and we're not necessarily concerned

15:21about being famous

15:22we want to be fruitful in other words we

15:24want to be good stewards over the

15:26purpose

15:26so so when you want to be fruitful you

15:29take

15:30more notes than you think you need to

15:31take when you want to be fruitful you

15:33spend

15:33hours in front of the the screen but not

15:36on not on social media

15:37but trying to learn something so that

15:39you can be more effective

15:41we don't want to seek fame oh my god i'm

15:43out of time already

15:45how did they do this to me y'all stop

15:47the clock let's talk about this

15:48because we got to seek to be fruitful

15:52jesus huh now i'm getting there let's go

15:55jesus had a talk with his disciples

15:57in john 15 and 8 watch this jesus had to

15:59talk with his disciples this is how

16:01important this idea of fruitfulness is

16:03this idea of fruitfulness fruitfulness

16:05fruitfulness this is important

16:06jesus talked with his disciples in john

16:0815 and he says this watch this

16:10he says this this is to my father's

16:12glory

16:14this is what he says watch that you bear

16:17much fruit he says this is to my

16:20father's glory that you bear much fruit

16:23in other words being very productive

16:26showing yourselves to be my disciples

16:28this is to my father's glory that you

16:32bear much fruit and that is going to

16:35show

16:36yourself to be my disciple jesus says

16:40in essence what jesus is saying is he's

16:42saying that being my disciple is more

16:44seen

16:45than said that your fruitfulness is

16:50jesus's proof of purchase for you

16:53y'all missing this he's saying that that

16:55your fruitfulness in the earth

16:57is jesus's proof of purchase in other

17:01words

17:01jesus is saying i know you're my

17:03disciple when you become when you have

17:05become fruitful

17:06in other words you are productive in

17:08your purpose

17:09meaning you're walking in purpose this

17:11is this is interesting

17:12right but by watch this watch this this

17:15is good ecclesiastes

18:30gave us this word

18:32and even uh this word at the beginning

18:34of the year in this word today

18:35because i know that the fresh church in

18:37particular is

18:39filled with fruit and some of our fruit

18:42is dormant some of the purpose that we

18:45that we have over our lives we have not

18:48been walking into it fully and i come to

18:52push you in to production mode i've come

18:56to push you into progression i've come

19:01to push you in to productivity

19:04in a real sense whatever it is that god

19:07has placed you on this earth to do

19:08do it with all your might and do it unto

19:10the lord if you're a barber

19:12cut as if you're cutting unto the lord

20:48somebody type

20:49i'm built for this somebody type i'm

20:52built for this and in genesis 1 let's

20:54get to our text

20:55in genesis 1 this is known as the

20:57creation narrative

20:58it's the creation narrative uh this is

21:01when god is

21:02forming god is shaping god is creating

21:05and watch this god is building uh

21:08this particular earth genesis 1 28 and

21:10god blessed them

21:12and said to them be fruitful

21:15multiply feel the earth subdue it

21:19and have dominion be fruitful multiply

21:21fill the earth subdue it and have

21:23dominion

21:23watch this he gave them he gave them

21:26something that is so so interesting

21:27this is so interesting watch this he

21:29says be fruitful then multiply

21:31uh fill the earth have dominion he gave

21:34them

21:35what they had the potential to do

21:38you see what you see what he did he says

21:40hey listen all right here we go

21:42this is what i this is what i'm calling

21:44you to do be fruitful multiply fill the

21:46earth and subdue it

21:48here's what here's what we got to be be

21:50careful of

21:52we have to be careful not to fall into

21:53the pit of potential

21:56all right maybe we'll do this another

21:58day

21:59we have to be careful not to fall into

22:01the pit

22:02of potential the pit of potential is a

22:05place

22:07where excuses are elevated over

22:08execution

22:11that that's that's when where excuses

22:14are elevated over

22:16execution that's when that's when

22:18someone has great

22:20gifting but they don't necessarily

22:24come up to where it is that their

22:25gifting is right so

22:27so is when we have excuses though

22:29sometimes i know i know hear me

22:31hear me is when we have excuses uh um

22:34sometimes if we're not careful

22:36our businesses our sacrifice on the

22:40altar of our excuses

22:42so i i don't have a big enough network i

22:45don't know enough people i don't

22:46have the resources that they have so i

22:49can't

22:49be fruitful well god never never

22:53told them that they needed what somebody

22:55else needed well well

22:56well well and that's what happens if

22:58we're not careful

22:59uh uh our relationship with god will

23:02suffer uh on the altar

23:04of our excuses i don't have enough time

23:06i'm just

23:07it's just too much going on and this is

23:09happening

23:10those excuses might be real but they're

23:13not always right so we got to be careful

23:15if we're not careful

23:16our relationships uh will suffer on the

23:19altar

23:20of excuses i don't you know i i don't

23:22it's not

23:23time for that i don't really don't feel

23:25like and you know it's all of these

23:26different things

23:27and what happens is it keeps us trapped

23:29in the pit of potential

23:31what could be what could have been

23:34what should be what would have been but

23:37god is calling us

23:38he's commissioning us and he's

23:40commanding us to move from potential

23:42to production from potential to

23:45production in the way of principle watch

23:47this i think this is so good i got to

23:48get to this

23:49and i don't have enough time we gotta do

23:51part two i didn't know we had to do a

23:52part two we're gonna have to do a part

23:53two or something

23:54uh in the way of principle uh god god is

23:57god is

23:57god is calling adam and eve in

23:59particular in genesis one

24:01he's calling them to uh

24:04in a real sense in context to populate

24:06the earth right

24:07right he's calling them to populate the

24:09earth so but in the way of principle

24:11we see that god is calling us not merely

24:14only to populate the earth

24:15but to populate the earth not just with

24:18people but to populate the earth

24:19with purpose not only populate the earth

24:22with people but populate the earth with

24:24purpose

24:24question what does god put you on this

24:26earth to do it's time to do it

24:28some of us we've been waiting on when

24:30when should we start it when should we

24:32go back to school

24:33here's your sign i'm sorry no thunder

24:35roaring right now no lightning flashing

24:37here's your sign it's time in the middle

24:40of the pen

24:40yeah it's time this is why this is why

24:44because god is looking for his children

24:46to populate the earth

24:48to fill it with purpose in other words

24:51all of us should be wanting to desiring

24:54to walk in

24:55purpose i got to give you this and we're

24:57out of here for real for real watch this

24:59god gave adam and eve three things

25:01that they that that were essential to

25:04them growing and becoming fruitful in

25:06their lives

25:07he gave them three things in genesis 1

25:0928 he gave them three things

25:11uh i want to give you three things you

25:12know i'm a teacher i'm pragmatist i got

25:14to give you

25:14uh three practical points god gave him

25:16three things that that are so powerful

25:18for their lives to help them walk in

25:20purpose and understand purpose

25:22and then he's given us three things for

25:24us to understand

25:25uh purpose and growing as well number

25:27one write this down god gave

25:29them uh the equipment to produce

25:33he gave them the equipment to produce

25:36god's equip god equips the inferior to

25:39accomplish the superior

25:40he always does it god always equips the

25:43inferior

25:44to accomplish the superior or even

25:48overcome

25:49the superior you don't need what you

25:51think you need in order to accomplish

25:53what god has called you to accomplish i

25:55want you to hear this i'm coming for you

25:57today

25:57i want you to hear this in encouragement

25:59you don't need

26:00some of us we're waiting on something

26:02and god is saying they ain't coming

26:04the the help you've been asking they're

26:06not coming they're not coming

26:08people help people will help you when

26:10you're pushing or

26:11pushing a car as opposed to sitting in

26:13one you ever broke down on the side of

26:14the road

26:15tell the truth stop lying you're lying

26:17at home you broke down

26:18you ever broke down on the side of the

26:20road and if you just sit in your car

26:24chances are people are not but if you

26:25got out and start pushing your car with

26:27what you have the strength you have

26:30people will oftentimes get out of their

26:32car and help you push

26:34we're waiting on people to come push us

26:37but god has given them and given us the

26:40equipment

26:41to produce now your equipment is always

26:44or more than more times and often going

26:46to look inferior to others

26:48david had a slingshot goliath had a

26:52sword

26:53david had a slingshot goliath had a

26:55sword but david used his

26:57god-given equipment the thing that he

26:59did have

27:00and wasn't concerned about what other

27:02people had so if you're gonna grow in

27:04this next season

27:06use what god has placed in your hands

27:08and you'll be able to knock down things

27:10that people

27:11that had that are in front of people

27:13with more equipment than you

27:14because god has given you the power the

27:17enablement

27:18the anointing to knock down your

27:21goliaths

27:22ah so they had equipment i don't have

27:24time i don't have time

27:26god what has god given you in your hands

27:28what what what resources has he given

27:30you what

27:30what what what ideas has he given you he

27:33he's given you something you got

27:36uh you're looking for something else god

27:38says raise up what you have use

27:40what's in your hand and everything in

27:41front of you will move out of the way

27:43when you do what it is god has called

27:44you to do number two he don't he not

27:46only gave them equipment

27:48he's also giving us this particular

27:51point watch this number two

27:52say this with me i'm in the right

27:54environment to produce

27:58huh i got the right equipment and i'm in

28:01the right environment

28:03right because our placement can

28:05determine our production

28:08watch this our placement can determine

28:12our production if you're part of this

28:15family watch

28:16me please hear me you're part of this uh

28:53i'm talking about this year i'm talking

28:56i'm talking about

28:57folk going back getting degrees all of

29:00this this is

29:01fertile fertile ground because our

29:04environment

29:05uh our placement can determine our

29:08production

29:09so being in the right place will

29:10determine whether or not you are

29:12able to produce at the level at which

29:14god has called you to not only does your

29:16placement determine your production

29:17but your placement can determine your

29:19provision as well

29:22god told the prophet go to the brook

29:25cherith

29:26and i will send ravens to feed you

29:30there

29:34he said he says i'm gonna send ravens

29:37your provision is coming

29:39but your provision will only come when

29:41you get in the place

29:42that i'm sending provision god is not

29:45sending provision

29:46to a person he's sending provision to a

29:49place

29:49the question is am i in the right place

29:52and i got news for somebody

29:54you don't clicked on this stream i got

29:56news for you you're in the right place

29:57you're in fertile ground

29:59there's something that god is doing at

30:01the fresh church

30:02that god is literally birthing out

30:05businesses

30:06god is birthing our individuals god is

30:08launching

30:09god as god is causing individuals to

30:11grow to levels at which they didn't even

30:14know

30:15oh my goodness give me three minutes and

30:16i'm done for real for real not only did

30:18he give

30:19them the equipment not only did it give

30:23them the environment

30:26but god gave them something that some of

30:28us need to hear

30:31and number three is god expected them to

30:33produce

30:34say god expects me to produce

30:38this is interesting right this is

30:39interesting because god's expectation

30:41is an indication of his confidence in us

30:46and i'm landing the plane here for one

30:50particular reason

30:52is god's expectation that serves as

30:54affirmation

30:56because when they knew that god had

30:59created them

31:01and he expected them

31:04that made them then look at themselves

31:07like so for us

31:08when we understand that god has called

31:10us to be fruitful

31:11multiply feel and have dominion

31:15then that makes us say wait a minute god

31:18wasn't just talking to adam and eve

31:20wait a minute women women so you mean

31:22tell me that my cousins and

31:24and some people that's close to me been

31:25telling me that i won't be able to do it

31:27are you telling me that god is saying i

31:30can do this

31:31are you telling me that i don't need the

31:33equipment that other people have

31:34and god said yes i expect you to be

31:36fruitful without that

31:39are you saying that that i can grow in

31:41my relationship with god without

31:43having to to conform and to look like or

31:46to do it the way that other people have

31:47done it

31:48and god is saying absolutely i want to

31:50pray for you

31:51because you've been waiting you've been

31:53uh uh

31:54in the neighborhood where i'm from we

31:56call it pump faking like when you're
