Championship Principle #375 Possessing Your Land of Promise and Fruition (Your Destiny) Deuteronomy 1:8 – "See, I have given you this land. Go in and take possession of the land the Lord swore he would give to your fathers—to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob—and to their descendants after them." Joshua 1:3 – "I will give you every place where you set your foot, as I promised Moses." Jeremiah 29:11 – "For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Numbers 33:53 – "Take possession of the land and settle in it, for I have given you the land to possess." Exodus 23:30 – "Little by little I will drive them out before you, until you have increased enough to take possession of the land." Possessing your land of promise and reaching fruition is about embracing God’s unique destiny for your life through faith, perseverance, and action. Like the Israelites entering the Promised Land, we must trust in God’s promises, understanding that He prepares us through seasons of growth and refining. Our journey requires patience, as God’s timing is perfect, and courage to step forward despite obstacles or doubts. God has already declared His plans for us—plans to prosper and not harm—but we must actively claim them by walking in alignment with His will. As we take possession of our destiny, it not only brings personal fulfillment but also glorifies God and blesses others, revealing His faithfulness and power.

Championship Principle #419 Sincere, Strong, Complete, Tremendous and Unshaken Belief Jeremiah 29:13: "You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart." Philippians 4:13: "I can do all this through him who gives me strength." Proverbs 3:5-6: "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight." Mark 11:23: "Truly I tell you, if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and does not doubt in their heart but believes that what they say will happen, it will be done for them." Hebrews 11:1: "Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see." Sincere, strong, complete, tremendous, and unshaken belief is the foundation of a deep and transformative relationship with God. Sincere belief flows from a pure and honest heart that seeks Him earnestly, while strong belief gives us resilience in the face of challenges, relying on His strength rather than our own. Complete belief requires surrender, trusting God with every aspect of our lives, aligning fully with His will. Tremendous belief dares to expect great things from God, trusting His power to accomplish the impossible, and unshaken belief stands firm, rooted in the assurance of His sovereignty and faithfulness. Together, these dimensions of faith create a vibrant and unwavering trust in God, empowering us to live victoriously and experience His fullness in our lives.

Championship Principle #323 Choosing to be on the Front Lines **Joshua 1:9** _"Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.”_ 2. **Ephesians 6:11-13** _"Put on the full armour of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armour of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand."_ **1 Samuel 17:32** _"David said to Saul, 'Let no one lose heart on account of this Philistine; your servant will go and fight him.'"_ **2 Timothy 4:7** _"I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith."_ **Judges 6:14** _"The Lord turned to him and said, 'Go in the strength you have and save Israel out of Midian’s hand. Am I not sending you?'"_ Choosing to be on the front lines is a profound decision marked by courage, faith, and a sense of responsibility. It involves stepping into leadership roles, often at great personal risk, to defend what is right and serve others. This choice is not driven by a desire for glory but by a commitment to a greater cause, whether in spiritual battles, standing up for justice, or leading in difficult times. It requires spiritual readiness, perseverance in the face of adversity, and a willingness to sacrifice for the greater good. Those who choose this path embrace the challenges, knowing their efforts carry eternal significance and align their lives with a higher purpose. Championship Principles by Abraham Adeseye

Championship Principle #293 Getting Ready for the NEW **Isaiah 43:18-19** (NIV): "Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland." **Revelation 21:5** (NIV): "He who was seated on the throne said, 'I am making everything new!' Then he said, 'Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.'" **Lamentations 3:22-23** (NIV): "Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness." **Philippians 3:13-14** (NIV): "Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus." Getting ready for something new involves embracing change with faith, renewing your mind and spirit, and seeking God's guidance. Letting go of the past and cultivating a heart of expectation are crucial, as is preparing practically by setting goals and acquiring new skills. Maintaining a spirit of gratitude helps keep your heart open and receptive to new opportunities. By trusting in God’s timing and purpose, and approaching each day with anticipation of His blessings, you can confidently step into the new things He has planned, viewing change as an opportunity for growth and trusting in His continual presence and faithfulness.

Championship Principle #386 Courage to Confront Challenges, Strength to Persevere and Wisdom to Fight Effectively Joshua 1:9 (NIV): “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.” Philippians 4:13 (NIV): “I can do all this through him who gives me strength.” James 1:5 (NIV): “If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.” Proverbs 2:6-7 (NIV): “For the Lord gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding. He holds success in store for the upright, he is a shield to those whose walk is blameless.” Courage, strength, and wisdom are vital in overcoming life’s challenges, especially from a biblical perspective. Courage is the boldness to face difficulties, trusting that God is with us, as seen in Joshua 1:9, which encourages us to be strong and fearless. Strength to persevere comes next, empowering us to endure trials with the assurance that God renews our strength when we place our hope in Him, as promised in Isaiah 40:31. Finally, wisdom ensures we fight effectively, making the right decisions and discerning the best path, as James 1:5 says that God generously grants wisdom to those who ask. Together, these virtues—rooted in faith—equip us to confront, endure, and overcome any challenge. Championship Principles by Abraham Adeseye

Championship Principle #412 Focusing on What You Can Control Galatians 6:4-5 "Each one should test their own actions. Then they can take pride in themselves alone, without comparing themselves to someone else, for each one should carry their own load." Matthew 6:34 "Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." Philippians 4:6-7 "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." Ecclesiastes 11:4 "Whoever watches the wind will not plant; whoever looks at the clouds will not reap." Focusing on what you can control means directing your energy toward your actions, attitudes, and trust in God rather than worrying about outcomes or circumstances beyond your reach. The Bible teaches that while we cannot dictate every situation, we can choose how we respond. Philippians 4:6-7 encourages us to surrender our anxieties to God in prayer, trusting Him to provide peace, while Galatians 6:4-5 reminds us to focus on our own responsibilities. By keeping our hearts fixed on God’s promises, maintaining a positive attitude, and taking intentional steps forward, we honour Him and find peace amidst uncertainty, knowing He is in control of everything else.

Championship Principle #346 Expecting Advancement Jeremiah 29:11 (NIV) "For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Deuteronomy 28:13 (NIV) "The Lord will make you the head, not the tail. If you pay attention to the commands of the Lord your God that I give you this day and carefully follow them, you will always be at the top, never at the bottom." Psalm 75:6-7 (KJV) "For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south. But God is the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up another." Ephesians 3:20 (NIV) "Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us." Isaiah 54:2-3 (NIV) "Enlarge the place of your tent, stretch your tent curtains wide, do not hold back; lengthen your cords, strengthen your stakes. For you will spread out to the right and to the left; your descendants will dispossess nations and settle in their desolate cities." Expecting advancement from a biblical perspective involves a deep trust in God's promises, diligent obedience to His commands, and a confident faith in His perfect timing. The Bible assures us that God has plans to prosper and elevate us, not merely in material terms but in fulfilling His divine purpose for our lives. This expectation is not passive but requires active faith, perseverance through challenges, and a hopeful outlook even in difficult times. As we align our actions with God's will and trust in His power, we position ourselves to experience the advancement He has promised, knowing that He can do immeasurably more than we can ask or imagine.

Championship Principle #265 Glorying in Weaknesses 2 Corinthians 12:9-10 (NIV) "But he said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.' Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong." 1 Corinthians 1:27-29 (NIV) "But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. God chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things—and the things that are not—to nullify the things that are, so that no one may boast before him." Hebrews 11:34 (NIV) "Whose weakness was turned to strength; and who became powerful in battle and routed foreign armies." Glorying in weaknesses, as taught in the Bible, challenges conventional wisdom by emphasizing God's strength in human frailty. In 2 Corinthians 12:9-10, the Apostle Paul illustrates this principle, declaring that he will boast in his weaknesses so that Christ's power may rest on him, finding strength in moments of difficulty and persecution. This perspective shifts the focus from human capability to divine empowerment, affirming that God's grace suffices even in our most vulnerable moments. It invites humility, fostering a deeper dependence on God's provision and guidance. Embracing weaknesses also cultivates empathy and resilience, enabling believers to support one another through shared experiences of struggle and triumph, rooted in the assurance that God's strength is made perfect in weakness (2 Corinthians 12:9).

Championship Principle #402 Stepping into the Promise Joshua 1:9 "Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go." Deuteronomy 31:8 "The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged." Hebrews 10:23 "Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful." Isaiah 41:10 "Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand." Exodus 14:14 "The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still." Stepping into God’s promises means moving forward in faith, trusting His Word and character, and acting with courage, even in the face of uncertainty. From Joshua’s courage leading Israel into the Promised Land to Abraham’s obedience in leaving his homeland, the Bible shows us that stepping into a promise isn’t passive—it requires active faith, patience, and reliance on God’s strength. As we confront fears, doubts, and waiting, we learn to depend on His power and timing, recognizing that His promises may unfold gradually as He shapes our character. Ultimately, stepping into God’s promises brings us closer to Him, and when we see His promises fulfilled, we celebrate His unchanging faithfulness. Championship Principles by Abraham Adeseye

Remember the story of Lazarus? He is the person Jesus brought back to life from the dead, but...👇 One part of this story which is often neglected is that when his death was brought to Jesus' attention, Christ did not just pack up his things and leave and rush to the situation. Rather, he waited. He took his time. He moved at his own pace. He set boundaries for himself. The lesson for you: It is okay to set boundaries for yourself. #hockey #hockeyplayer #hockeyplayers #hockeycoach #hockeymindset #mindset #mindsetiseverything #sportpsychology #sportpsychologist #mentalperformance # #mentalperformancecoaching #mentalperformanceconsultant #mentalperformancetraining #nhl #nhlhockey #hockeyleadership #hockeycaptain
