It's not a secret to people who know me that I love football. Today in Football Friday I want to submit

Confidence- This team is extremely confident and they got reasons to be as well.

• They were 32 minutes away from the big game last year.
• They were the number 1 defense and rushing which is generally a surefire formula for success in the NFL
• They are being featured in the H.B.O. 'Hard Knocks' show and will play many prime time which will give them a constant reminder that with team success comes individual attention that can be leveraged to post-career success and will get the team used to pressure.
• The front office was extremely aggressive in picking up same great off-season acquisitions and got a A- in my book in the draft
• Rex Ryan is a great coach, great recruiter and retainer of coaching talent..how he kept the Off. Coordinator ,Special Teams and previous defensive coordinator who all interviewed for the head coaching job was a great sign of leadership and how recruited Coach Callahan a former Super Bowl coach to join his staff without providing a coordinator position means he can recruit.
• Swagger is often the intangible factor that helps teams go to another level

The emergence of Mark Sanchez, this will allow the team

• To open the playbook. The Jets run a fairly complicated Quick huddle/Shifting/motion offensive that forces the defensive to 'show their hand' . This offense work when you have a QB who can call audible, a pass catching tight end who is a B- blocker and a running game that makes the defense honest.

The Defense got even stronger

• With the addition of some great defensive backs via draft and free agency allows the Jets to blitz even more.
• With another year of experience the defensive players understanding of the scheme will allow the defensive coaching staff to open their playbook even more.
• A healthy Kris Jenkins means that offensive guards will have double team which leaves lanes open for the blitzers

But before we order our 'Super Bowl' T-shirts I do also have 3 concerns this year

Overconfidence- The Bibles says Pride comes before a fall and the Jets need to learn to ride the line between Swagger and conceit.
When a overconfident team hits bumps in the road it often leads to implosion and considering you have so many free-agents from successful teams with plenty of individual success the team chemistry will be tested.

Burn-out- With all the free agents, NY draft parties, Lobbying to host the 2014 Super Bowl, Reality show, extra dose a prime time games and a big bulls eye on their back, one has to be concerned about burn out. Its important the team leverages all those factors to build them rather than burn them out.

Mark Sanchez and the possibility of a sophomore slump- The sophomore slump has afflicted many QB's and considering he is recovering from a knee surgery one has to be concerned about 'Sanchize' progress.

I would love to see the Jets win the big game
Here is my AFC/NFC championship match-up
Jets vs Indy     N.O. vs Dallas

1. Stay aware and don't sleepwalk through life.
2. Always meditate on how you can do things better and constantly make incremental improvements in your life
3. Learn to associate pain with living unwise and associate pleasure with living with wisdom. The price behind living with intentionality must be interpreted as pleasure not pain
4. Evaluate your experiences, the fruit of your expertise and continually stay exposed to wise people.
5. Get away and gain perspective and stop constantly operating in the 'fog of war' in daily life...learn to live strategic.

P.S. This upcoming June Victory Outreach North Brooklyn will be putting on a 'Victory in Marriage'  Workshop and our Annual 'Wall Wars' Handball tournament...more info coming later this week

        

Today I want to motivate you to become an avid reader. Every year you should try to read at least 15 books. I want to recommend that you read

1. A book to focus on your spiritual growth- I recommend the book 'So, you want to be like Christ' http://urlm.in/eqfl
2. A book to focus on personal development- I recommend the book 'The Success Journey' http://urlm.in/eqfm
3. A book on finance- I recommend the book 'Rich Dad, Poor Dad' http://urlm.in/eqfn
4. An inspiring fiction book- I recommend 'The Alchemist'  http://urlm.in/eqfo
5. Read magazines on culture and current events- I read the 'Economist' , "Time' and"Travel and Leisure" among others http://urlm.in/eqfq

Remember...
"You are the same to

"You are the same today that you are going to be in five years from now except for two things: the people with whom you associate and the books you read.” Charles Jones

As you read these books (or any books that help you stay motivated)

1. find out the big ideas from wikipedia,amazon reviews or similar website as well as read the end first so as you read the book you will understand the contents with more clarity when you get the big picture of the context
2. remember to savor the book
3. read the intro because my friend Caryn from South Africa told me most authors write the intro upon the completion of the book so you are getting the writer's clearest 'voice' before the book starts
4. question the author ...drink from the well of knowledge but beware of the kool-aid
5. highlight the big ideas
6. write on the margins using keywords so you know how to go back and find certain ideas
7. create a checklist in the back of the book
8. consider how you will implement what you have learned within the next 72 hours upon the completion of the book
9. try to read on book form the bibliography
10. remember you are often reading the culmination of years of experience and/or research so value and utilize the knowledge your reading

Hope this inspires you to read more

Peace to the saints,

I just recently came back from The Victory Outreach International Mighty Men Of Valor Convention at Ontario California. I was blessed to bring some great guys who were exposed to the presence of God and heard principles that will take their lives to a new dimension.
I want to share 5 lessons I learned at the convention

1. The Importance of being a Trail-Blazer- Victory Outreach is a Trial-Blazing ministry that is the first of its kind. Trail-blazers have passion..Trail-blazers take risk....Trail-blazers have faith...Trail-Blazers are not easily intimidated......Trail-Blazers reap the rewards!
2. The Value of Hardwork and Planting Seeds Diligently- Ministry takes hard work and often times the work of ministry is often repetitious and ministers have to always stay mindful in not just the 'What' we do but also the 'Why' and the 'Who' we are doing it for (vertically and horizontally). I immediately was inspired to work for God with the right intention, integrity and intensity. I was also reminded to not lose heart my harvest will soon come.
3. I was reminded to led God lead my 'steps' and 'stops'- Pastor Paul Lloyd ministered to me when he shared about hearing the voice of the Lord during a trial and how God's plan was different from his plan but once he yielded to God's way he saw a great victory, I was reminded that my good is nowhere better than God's best.
4. The Value of Team Ministry- I was blessed to hear all week of the conference the great success Victory Outreach Capetown is now experiencing largley due to the effectiveness of the team ministry model and I'm excited to implement the team model here at Victory Outreach North Brooklyn.
5. Pastors need to dream big and help their people dream big as well.- Pastor Al Valdez really inspired me to dream big again and to value the responsibility and privilege to become a catalyst to help the members of V.O. North Brooklyn dream big for their lives.

These were just 5 of many lessons I learned from this awesome convention. Here is the link if you want to see some off the sermons http://www.victoryoutreach.org/media/default.asp

next week I will post 3 more lessons and some pics

God Bless,

        

Hey Guys,
2 Weeks ago I celebrated my 36th birthday. So I figured to post an entry about 36 lessons I learned in Life. Please understand they are not necessarily in order of importance and they may not completely apply to you or your current situations.

1) Appreciate the gift of Life and the Great Gift-giver- Life is too precious to lived sleep walking and ignoring your Creator. Jesus came to our place(earth) to take our place (The purpose of His substitutionary death on our behalf was to redeem us and set us free) so we can live forever in his place(eternity in heaven).
2) Live by the greatest commandment- Love God with your whole being,love yourself and love others.
3) Learn to follow the counsel of the great companion- The holy Spirit will guide if you yield. My personal mantra is 'God what are trying to show me?'
4)Growing old and growing up are not the same- Make a conscious choice to cultivate your life around Christ's principles and learn to do what you have to do before you do what you want to do.
5)Study, learn and apply the principles from the sermon on the mount-Read and meditate on Matthew 5-7 it will change your life. After a Christ-follower accepts Jesus (the experience that changes our eternal destiny) into their lives they must commit to live by his principles (the expertise that changes our life on earth.)
6) Learn to Endure and adapt without settling for less than you have to-Balance toughness,contentment with a passion for progression.
7) Learn from expertise, experience and exposure so you can elevate your taste, sophistication and refinement without losing your zeal for God- study with the best,try your best and go to the best places and you'll grow. God uses the foolish things I know but how long are we going to stay foolish.
8)Know what you enjoy and make sure it adds and not subtracts from your life- Schedule joy don't wait for it to happen by chance.
9) Readers are leaders- Reading the right stuff can exponentially enrich your life but don't let reading become an avoidance activity
10) Embrace the power of prayer- God truly answers prayer. Prayer was a integral part of Jesus life, Like  the VO pastor in Dallas once tweeted 'The ANGEL fetched PETER out of PRISON, but it was PRAYER that fetched the ANGEL.'
11) Continually enlarge your internal and external capacity in order increase your eternal impact- build up or burn out. Remember your appearance is the platform for your presentation
12) Sometimes life bites but don't let the venom of bitterness creep in
13) Intentionally transmit the family values and vision to your kids- If you don't tell your kid 'Tel a vision' will tell your kids their vision. There are two importance principles of learning to remember recognition (recognize the importance) and Repetition (the mother of learning...the builder of neural pathways)
14) Supplements are not substitutes- Reading blogs does not replace your devotion time. Twittering does not replace spending discipleship time with people. Buying your kids gifts in quantity does not replace the gift of quality time.
15) Mindfully keep your vows- To your wife, family, job etc even when your not getting recognized or rewarded in the long run you will avoid much heart break
16) Reward loyalty, because if its not valued it may become extinct- Remember loyalty is a two way street
17)Practice what you preach- There is power in integrity and congruence
18) Learn to measure,manage and multiply your finances and focus
19) Don't share your weaknesses or all the details of your storms to people who can't make a difference-Share your problems and setback with people who can make a difference because some people are vision firelighters and some people are vision fire fighters
20) Try not rush in making a permanent decision during a temporary setback
21) Practice being more pro active than just being reactive- Sometimes its  better to ask for forgiveness for being proactive than it is to ask for permission and complaining as a reaction (does that makes sense to you...maybe that explanation is not that great)
22) Hold duel membership to the Plan Clan and the Action Faction- Become a planner and doer, average people are only members to just one of these teams but great people plan & act as well innovate,generate and elevate
23) You reap what you sow- The law of the harvest is timeless
24) Learn to appreciate great things without lusting for them- Learn to look at great homes without creating a disdain for the one your in or own
25) Read and become a student of the Bible- Let the word of God transform your thinking and living. B.I.B.L.E Basic instruction before leaving earth
26) Make daily deposits into your thank account- an attitude of gratitude is magnetic for favor.
27) Honor the covering (Spiritual leadership) in our life- When certain items are left uncovered they dry out. Don't be so quick to leave your spiritual covering (i.e. church).  Note to leaders always strive to be a covering and not a Lid.
28) Sometimes faith is spelled r-i-s-k- inaction is often riskier than action when it comes to progressing to your dream
29) Don't always overestimate others and underestimate yourself- Pray, plan,prepare and push towards a better life, develop confidence without arrogance.
30 ) Learn and apply the pareto and parkinson's principles - I have written and spoken on these 'laws' many times in my blog and leadership training
31) Aim to own quality and not just quantity- Beware of greed. Own good things but don't let things own you
32) Seek production more than position- Many great leaders never had a official title
33) Try to journal the journey- I'm trying to keep a journal so I can see the progression of my journey to the fulfillment of my vision
34)Don't stare of the cup of the prohibited while ignoring the sea of the permissible and possible- God's word does advice us not to do certain things and there are requirements but they don't compare to the benefits of being a Christ follower.
35) Your attitude determines your altitude and your aptitude determine your longitude and travel thru life God's way is the High(er)Way
36) Humility and confidence is vital- Humility is the attractor factor for God's favor and confidence is the attractor factor for favor with people. It is written in the gospels the John the Baptist said 'He must increase (Jesus as a priority and aligning the intention in our lives) and I must decrease (re-align my spirit and keep ego in check) don't fall the trap of decreasing your confidence before increasing your spiritual growth, practicing humility and constantly be in a position to be publicly humiliated unnecessarily is not fruitful....I know its kind of confusing but I'm sick of Christian always living in lack and defeat. John10:10

 
I hope you enjoyed these little axioms I learned through out my life.
After I come back from the Victory Outreach Might Men of Valor conference I will be Blogging more frequently (I promise)
If you enjoyed this blog or maybe you learned something let me know by leaving a comment and by subscribing to this blog.

 I preached a message last year entitled 'The 3 Takes of Jesus', the principles from the sermons can help turn a good Christian to a great one.

1) 'Take' up your Cross-Luke 9:23 KJV - And he said to [them] all, If any [man] will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me . Jesus desires for his followers to live a life of self-denial, The cross is a symbol and signal of Christianity and a person who dedicated himself to carrying his cross is a person who lives a simple and devoted life (which the older I get the more profound a simple and devoted life seems). We must remember that there will be no Crown wearers in heaven who were not first Cross carriers on earth.

2) 'Take' Jesus yoke-Mat 11:29 KJV - Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
Mat 11:30 KJV - For my yoke [is] easy, and my burden is light.
Taking Jesus yoke simple means being connected to God in all our life's endeavors, When we do this we will receive the divine guidance and capacity to not just 'Row' to our goals but also to 'Sail' to our goals.

3) 'Take' Heed to Jesus's teaching and to your life-Mar 13:23 KJV - But take ye heed: behold, I have foretold you all things.
Mar 13:33 KJV - Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is.
Luk 11:35 KJV - Take heed therefore that the light which is in thee be not darkness.
We must take Heed (pay attention) that we are applying and integrating Jesus words, teachings and commands to our lives and also take stock of our lives by constantly evaluating and meditating on the condition of our lives in a sober 'no excuse' manner then we can pray earnestly about our situations and receive the wisdom from God's word and spirit to continue to grow in the wisdom and grace of God which in time will be imparted 'inside' of us and eventually 'manifested' on the outside.

I believe if we take the 3 'Takes' of Jesus seriously and personally we will eventually leave the 'Good' Zone and possible enter the 'Great' zone.

Remember if you live in New York come and check us out at our Victory Outreach North Brooklyn Easter Service at 108 Manhattan ave (btwn Boerum ave & Johnson ave) first service starts at 10am and the next service starts at 11:30am..join us and bring a friend!

        

Here are some random thoughts and stuff I'm up to

1. This past Saturday my church leadership team went to a great regional training for the Victory Outreach Northeast region (or what I like to call the Tri-state). we had V.O. NYC (My friend Pastor Tony's church...he is hilarious), V.O. Bklyn (regional Pastor Eddie's church), V.O. North Brooklyn (That's us), V.O. Newark (That's my friend Pastor Wayne's church), V.O. Bridgeport (my friend Patrick's church). Pastor Eddie taught a great seminar on 'Team ministry for a dynamic service'.
2. A few men in my church are preparing to go to the V.O. Mighty Men of Valor convention.
3. We have some really cool and hip new couples in our church (like people, like priest)
4. My son Ethan made the Honor roll (I don't remember having a report card in Kindergarten..I probably got an A+ in Nap-ology)
5. and Ed's report card showed much improvements (His 1st grade H.W. is no joke...school is not the same anymore) and both kids got promoted to yellow belt in Karate school.
6. My NY Jets have made some good moves (even though they should have kept Thomas Jones...Loyalty is a two way street). Cromartie and Revis means its 'Blitzing' time. They still need a Pass rushing DT (Like Richard Seymour) and Ed Reed type of safety.
7. Ana had a great time at the V.O. Women's convention a few weeks ago and she had a good time with her homegirl Stacey from London. Stace blessed Ana with a laptop and Lil Eddie spend some time with his Godmother
8. Today at church we had 14 first time guest at church 
9. We have been hosting Caryn a PHD student (a real PHD not playa hating degree) from South Africa who is interning at the U.N. and she is super cool and smart. I can't wait to visit South Africa
10. VONB has people from Staten Island, Bronx, Queens and Brooklyn (we are praying for some people from Long Island, Manhattan and Jersey Shore so can they fist pump praise dance J/k)
11. The church has new volunteers in the finance, A/V, Kids Church, ushering and music ministry.
12. Things at the 9-5 are pretty cool and officiating the wedding of a cool co-worker on my B-day (4/24)
13. My family is having a family reunion/vacation in Orlando this summer.
14. I learned great leader protect their focus more passionately than they protect their pride.
15. The Knicks are still bad...Hopefully 'Bron comes to NY and pick up all that money Tiger left on the table.
16. I learned its better to use pain to get better than to get bitter.
17. I'm starting to have a greater appreciation for soccer (but football still rules)
18. Shout out to all my haters.
19. never cry about what you repeatedly allow.
20. The Health Care debate is more about politics than productivity...I have hope eventually all sides will get it right.
21. Parents need to not only Love our kids but also train them and not only punish them but diligently discipline them because if we don't do it future circumstances will do it for us.
22. I got a photographic memory but sometimes I run out of film.
23. My favorite new dish is the Thai dish Pad See Yu (it's amazing)
24. the Church we rent space from did some upgrading construction (just on time for Easter)
25. I'm trying to follow the show '24' but it has so many twist it almost makes no sense, like for example there was this villain he was disguised as a cop who I thought was Italian then he spoke like he was from the middle east when it was revealed he was a bad guy but upon the review from his tattoos during his autopsy he turns out to be a Russian mobster (huh?) and Jack never has to use the bathroom or eat (not even a snack from the vending machine)
26. VONB advertised this week in 2 local newspapers (14,500 circulation) Facebook and Google as well as giving out thousands of flyers
27. Please pray for us as we try to pack out two services this Easter Sunday (more info coming soon). So if you live in New York Come and Check us out at our Victory Outreach North Brooklyn Easter Service at 108 Manhattan ave (btwn Boerum ave & Johnson ave) first service starts at 10am and the next service starts at 11:30am..join us and bring a friend
28. VONB is starting the Purpose Driven life campaign kicking off at Easter

Ok enough randomness

Peace and stay thirsty for God my friends
