God not only came that we might have life, but
that we would have abundant life. I hope you will choose to
begin the championship journey with me. It requires one very
important thing, that you be willing to overcome yourself.
We are our own greatest enemy.
I spent many years as my
own worst enemy. I was born with cerebral palsy. I was
unable to walk until I was three, and that was thanks to God's
hand and the use of a good surgeon. I would like to tell you
that from that point on nothing stopped me from accomplishing my
goals. See even though I was raised in church and was saved
when I was seven years old, I still had some very wrong
misconceptions. I was very shy and didn't try really hard
because I thought others didn't have high expectations for
me. Now, don't misunderstand I really enjoyed competing and
played a lot of sports in school but never any really organized
high school sports. I was constantly trying to prove that I
was normal. (Whatever normal is.) I even began to be angry
with God because I didn't want to be what He created. I felt
that if only He would heal me I could reach my full potential and
do something great. God never promised to heal my
disability.
Although I knew that if I had enough faith He would. I was
right, He did heal me.
He didn't heal me the way
I prayed for though. My greatest disability wasn't my
CP. It was my wrong attitude about myself. I just
assumed that if the Lord healed me physically everything would be
great. But, He began to show me He wasn't going to heal me
physically. But, He was going to use me the way He created
me, if I would let Him. Champion Builders Ministries is the
result of His using me. I want to be able to teach others
how and why they can live a championship life. Life with God
is that championship. God doesn't want us to live in
mediocrity, but to experience Him totally.
You can't serve God on
your terms and experience Him totally. It took me the
loss of a business and the loss of a lot of pride to see
that. The only way to experience His best for you is to give
yourself totally to Him. God can see the Champion that lives
within you. Will you allow Him to bring it out. It
won't be easy and it won't happen overnight. But it will be
the greatest and most rewarding journey you've ever taken.
I encourage you to step
out of your comfort zone and let God use you. You will be
amazed at what happens.
God Bless you;
Brandon
