"And the Lord has declared this day that you are His peculiar people as He promised you, and you are to keep all His commandments; And He will make you high above all nations which He has made, in praise and in fame and in honor, and that you shall be a holy people to the Lord your God, as He has spoken."  -The Greatest Love Story Ever Told

God wants to make you high above all nations.

�        In praise.

�        In fame.

�        In honor.

�        In favor, power and position.

That's the heritage of giving or givers in the Kingdom of God.

As you know, since Champions BYTES began in 2006, we have never asked our readers for a year end gift.

That is, UNTIL NOW.

We know that many of you have lived on the edge financially this year. The record unemployment rate has shaken the economy.  The rate of unemployment is higher in the current economic recession than in any other within the past 40 years.  The economy has also taken a toll on marriages, homes, businesses, ministries and dreams.

Some of you feel it deeply, and others not so much.

So, what is the best way to celebrate this season of giving during historic downturn?

It's simple: GIVE.

God gave us His best - the splendor and treasure of Heaven - in the most obscure setting.  Yet His gift resounded from the corridors of space by rejoicing angels who announced His birth.

Whenever we follow His best by giving ours, something supernatural happens to our seed; it defies and overcomes its environment to produce a great harvest.

As leaders, we are constantly hearing the current financial crisis compared to the Great Depression.  Yet even during those dark years in the 1930s, a group of entrepreneurs not only prospered but made their mark on history.   

Some of the iconic inventions introduced during those tumultuous times are used by us daily: The car radio (which created Motorola), the grocery supermarket (Michael Cullen), The Laundromat, the Copy Machine (which created Xerox; Chester Carlson, inventor was actually laid off), the Chocolate Chip Cookie (Ruth Wakefield - Toll House Inn) just to name a few.

If these creative minds could give and prosper in a national economic crisis, imagine what God is going to do in your life.

I don't know all of you personally, so I depend upon:

• Our weekly issue of Champions BYTES or radio vignettes on 150 radio stations to make some connection with you.
• Our Champions Unleashed Extreme Leadership Camps, Personal Branding and Mission Statement Workshops, and Community Outreaches like Dream Job to network and strategize for nations (and marketplace influence.)
• Our network of Champions@Work Discussion Group around the world (START ONE IN YOUR AREA.)

We have a significant need to meet in human lives.
