Extraordinary is a book by John Bevere. I am working through this book with a friend of mine. Tonight we did our first study, here is a brief summary of chapter one.
We see ourselves as ordinary people. We are drawn to living extraordinary lives, but fell that is quite impossible and therefore we have stopped trying. We have somehow missed that we serve an extraordinary God and are made in His image. That goes for everyone, like the smelly person sitting next to you in church or the jerk who cut you off and every person in between. We are called to love each other and so much more with the realization that they too are made in His image.
We have a limited view of God and which has given us a limited view of our enemy which limits our ability to fight against him.
God doesn't call extraordinary people, he makes people extraordinary.
If we set our hearts and minds on God and seek after Him we will not only find Him, but He will also make us extraordinary.
Before God we were all ordinary after meeting Him, He gives us something extra and makes us extraordinary.
