Why I'm a Generous Steward - Lee Domingue

don't tell me that God can't move in a suddenly don't tell me that God doesn't see where you're at right now but you've got to understand sometimes this calling requires a different level of surrender but if you don't quit you win if you don't quit you win don't be backing up don't be quitting at 1159 when God's showing up at midnight God has more for your life but you've got to step into it and it needs to be a willing step and that step starts today come on cherish let's give it up for Jesus shoreline come on you can do better than that on this Sunday you guys be seated it is a great day to be in Texas come on somebody I love Texas I love Texas so much I married a girl from Texas I'm a Cajun from South Louisiana that God come on I say boss yeah huh is uh but God moved me Birmingham home sweet home Alabama serve and be a part of a great church they're called Church of the Highlands and I love the season of life but I'm a I mean I am a avid LSU fan and so that come on go Tigers but but to get to have to go and live in Alabama is a little rough and it's kind of lonely there being an LSU fan but when God calls you the best place to be is where God's called you but when God calls the LSU fan Alabama it's like getting called on a mission field an unreached people group is what I would say but I love it and but I married this Texas girl about 36 years ago and her and I got engaged she was in the Miss Texas pageant y'all and and so she's in the Miss Texas pageant and I say to myself self you better close this deal because if she wins she ain't gonna marry you so I'm like maneuvering and everything else and we get engaged the night before and she said yes and all that I think I brought an old picture y'all of when we got engaged y'all got that come on whoo come on that's a hey what you can't see is the four inches of big hair that I had back then I was six foot five but yeah we got engaged that day and that's been over 36 years we've got let's see five kids four boys one girl they got our whole family crew there my little sunshine on my left Isabella Grace all for my sons four daughter in loves and a bunch of grandbabies God's gift for not killing your kids is grandkids if you ain't got if you ain't had kids if you ain't got grandkids yet hang on better

It's like man. I just feel better Man, you the gift of encouragement and exhortation on your life It's not something that you even try it's just who you are the culture of this house see you can't build culture you can only be it and And the expression of everything from your staff the spirit of excellence you want to reach people in this world you better have an excellent spirit and You guys exude that the way you love each other the way you love your kids. I got to meet Grayson in the back I'm like come on man. You amazing what a leader, but that comes from you guys And so we just want to honor you and I want to thank you for doing it, right? All right, we're gonna have some fun today and I Just want to share some of my story with you. You know was in business still have some business stuff, but for over 40 years and

You know I'm 61 now and whoever said 60 is the new 40 they lied 60 60 I don't care what you say 50 is the new 30 it ain't you 50 And so being 60 years old things are just different, but I got more zip in my step now than I ever have I didn't start out well if you knew my whole story DJ back in the day the plain white rapper They call me come on somebody I know I look like an accountant right now But I'm telling you I could bring it back then with the vinyls techniques 1200 turntables Newmark mixer I was putting it in the mix y'all I Don't get me started that that old man is dead. Hallelujah. Don't want to resurrect that baby either But it is I'm having the time of my life because I'm giving away What I've learned and what I've lived When you give away something that you have learned It has value no doubt about it But when you've lived it It has authority And so I'm not going to share anything with you. That's hypothetical. That's just theory I'm gonna just share with you what I've done and more importantly what God has done in my life Who's taken somebody who's experienced tremendous failure shortcomings? Second chances third chances and fourth chances But I'm here to tell you today. You need to write this down if you take in notes if you don't quit You win If you don't quit you win Don't let the naysayers get you to shrink back Don't let people in your life suck the life out of you God's got a plan and a purpose for your life, but you've got to step into that plan we're in the steward stewardship series and This is week three and I'm known for being my wife and I for being honestly just being generous We know that God gives seed to the sower not the keeper

We know that God wants to bless us not just so it's so we can have nice things And there's nothing wrong with that as long as those nice things don't have you But it's so it comes to me to go through me because God's interested in one thing. He's interested in people He wants to see he this is even a horrible business strategy when you think about it Jesus said leave 99 and go after the one that's horrible business strategy But he said those 99 are fine I'm interested in that one this house this church is interested in that one this house this church is Interested in reaching the people that's why you have more campuses not so you can say you're multi-site or say yeah We're a big church. We no no no no that's not the vision of this house. It's to reach that one more person It's to see that marriage healed that addiction delivered that child come back to Christ And so what happens is is stewardship? generosity honestly It's simply the fuel that goes into the engine because pastors Earl and Onika set vision for this house But you set the pace of it It's business people that really matter see for years I was a business person that I didn't know where I fit inside a church. I'm busy trying to build a business I'm trying to grow we were in a financial technology where basically for real quick is if you go in the Bass Pro store you go into RV dealers or boat dealers or car dealers more than likely somewhere in the around the country It's our technology that would be doing the loan originations very boring compliance risk mitigation fraud prevention Very lucrative, come on, somebody. And just because it's boring don't mean it ain't lucrative. And so we took a multi-day process down to minutes and patented it, and then sold it to the largest compliance company. So everybody knows, in my business life, knows of our success in healthcare, success in oil and gas, in aviation,

in different types of sectors, but it was that Fintech company that was the primary business, the primary driver. And I look at that, and by the way, I have a two-year degree from LSU. Some of you'll get that here in a second. They wanted me to leave after two years, and I was happy to leave after two years. I wanted to go to work. I love work. I think hard work is a holy calling, by the way. I'm not a shortcut guy, I'ma outwork you. I'ma outwork, I think hard work blesses Jesus. I think it's a great witness when we have that spirit of excellence in everything we do. Why do you think Chick-fil-A's kicking everybody else's tail on one less day? Because they're operating under God's principles. God's principles work, you know? And so from my perspective, I look at it and say, okay, God, where do I fit inside a church? And I could never quite figure it out until about 20 years ago. I used to feel guilty for having a business career, and it was almost like it was less than. And let me explain something to you. I don't care if you cook in the fries at Chick-fil-A or you own 50 Chick-fil-A's, this message is for you. I don't care if you're a student, if you're retired. God's not done with you yet, retired person.

You got wisdom that a younger generation needs. And you know what? You know when you give away that wisdom, you gonna get fulfillment. Because every single one of us in this congregation kind of dated myself there. Every single one of us in this auditorium, every single one of us in this building, we have different things we like. Some of you like the Cowboys, some of you don't. Some of you like this, some of you don't. Some of you like Papacitas Fajitas, some of you don't. Some of you like this kind of music, some of you don't. You like this fashion, some of you don't. Every single one of us in this room, don't miss this. We all have this in common. Matter of fact, every single person in the Dallas Metroplex has this in common. Every single one of us long for the same thing. And you know what that is? Fulfillment. Fulfillment. We're trying to do things that at some point in our life will get us fulfilled. Let me give you a little news flash. Colossians 116 says I'm created by God, but I'm created for God. So outside of that equation, you're never gonna be fulfilled. You may have moments of enjoyment,

but that's not fulfillment. So you're only gonna fulfill and get truly fulfilled in doing what the creator designed and created you to do. So if you're a business person, go kick tail in the marketplace. Partner up with the vision of this house or wherever your home church is or what have you, but you need to, pastors set vision, business people set pace. And they're equally as important. Let me say it this way. We esteem Dr. Billy Graham, probably one of the greatest evangelists in the history of the world. Integrity times 100. Started out well, ended well. Quite rare when you really think about it. But watch this. He said this before he died. Next great move of God is coming through business leaders in the marketplace. This is before he died. And that just resonated with me because your calling in what God's designed you to do, I don't care if you work at a plant, you work downtown, you work for government, whatever, you're a teacher in a school system, whatever that role is, it is a holy calling. It is redemptive in nature and it really matters. And let me frame it up for you.

It's equally as important as the calling that was on Billy Graham's life and it's equally as important as on the calling that's on the McClellan's life. You don't have a second rate calling, but I think we have a mindset that we've imposed on ourself. Because see, I never looked at my business career until a pastor affirmed me one day because the first business I had, full disclosure, was we created a virtual way to buy and sell automobiles in the mid-90s. Never been done before. Went from zero to 50 million, as pastor said, and then two years later was out of business. Sometimes you win. Sometimes you learn. Okay? Best way to do something, number one, the right way. That's wisdom. Number two, again. Again and again. If you don't quit, you win. If you don't quit, you win. Right, and so I looked at my life and that business failed and I can give you a hundred reasons how we were lobbied and they passed laws that prevented us from doing what we were doing because we disrupted a multi-billion dollar market segment. Man, I thought I was gonna retire before I'm 30.

And I'm sitting in a fetal position in a bathroom, three-story house and private planes and Ferraris and all these things that the world could, that you would buy and all that. And I'm looking at my life, giving away 20% of my income, so I'm double tithing. Lord, how could you let this happen to me? Why'd this happen? I'm giving to you. Somewhere in Malachi or that Bible says that you're gonna protect me, rebuke the plagues and the devourers. Well, I'm getting devoured right now. Where are you? And I'm telling you, I didn't have the character to handle the blessing. Some of us are praying for things that we need to be focused on building the character, which is the foundation to handle the house we pray in to be built on that foundation. And so I'm sitting there looking at my life going, okay, wow, and then man, I'm telling you, the Holy Spirit just nudged me and said, you were giving to justify the private life you were living. That's hard. But God loved me so much and he gave me a second chance. And he starts to rebuild my life, kind of like restoring one of those old cars where they sandblast that metal. I was getting sandblasted, y'all.

And it didn't feel good, but God was trying to build something so that he could lay the proper foundation to build what he wanted on my life. And he's trying to do that with you. So sometimes you gotta embrace that affliction. Embrace that situation that requires a different level of surrender. And so God took me on this journey and started over, completely over. We eating peanut butter and jelly and every now and then, Vienna sausage. Come on, somebody. If you take Vienna sausage as occasion and you cut it right down the middle and you put it in some real butter and you saute that thing, whoo, with some white bread and some mayo and mustard, ça c'est bon, y'all. It's gonna help you out. May make your cholesterol go to about 500, but it's gonna help you out. All my California friends, they're like, man, you eat all that crazy food. I say, yeah, you can have your tofu and all that other stuff you want. You may outlast me by two years, but I'm gonna die with a good taste in my mouth, y'all. Hallelujah. But it wasn't until starting completely over

that God started to work in my life. And I remember missing three Sundays because I'm trying to meet with these lenders and banks because we sold financial technology, too, about ended up being 19,000 banks over a period of years. And the company was very successful and then sold it. It's still successful today. But at 50 years old, God said, I want you to give your life away. I want you to help others. It's not about you, son. See, I've never written a billion dollar check to my church. I've written millions of dollars to my church, but never a billion. But watch this. I am today to the tune of about eight to nine billion a year through the 20-something thousand churches that we're able to impact and millions of business leaders rising up, saying, you know what? I'm not just gonna sit back on the wings. I have a role to play in the kingdom of God. I'm gonna come alongside my pastor and say, let's go get that healed together because if you set pace, I set, if you set vision and I set pace, that means that there's a partnership here. Don't discount what you do at all ever again. I think that there's a massive convergence

happening right now with pastors and business people. I think it's provision and vision coming together. I think it's calling and capacity coming together. I also think that the church, it's not a charity. The church is God's strategy for earth. And this house, this house is a safe place. This house is a healthy place. This house is a house of order and order always precedes growth. So there gonna be more people coming in here. There's gonna be more campuses to be built. But I thought about in my own life when I connected the kingdom purpose and started aligning myself, things started falling in line and I didn't really even make sense of it in the beginning. I just said, you know what God, I'm gonna just kinda, a little bit of blind faith, step out and just trust you. I probably can't take three steps, God. I don't trust you that much, but I'm gonna take one. And then he would meet me wherever I am. I love the grace of God. I love the grace of God over my life. You know that God is more interested in you experiencing his grace than you trying to be some jumping through hoops. You know, God told me one time, he said, hey, my grace is more important than your preparation. Now, you need to prepare, you need to pray,

you need to study, but understand, son, I know you're gonna have some hard days, and I need you to experience my grace, because my grace is what's gonna carry you. And he's done that over and over. But I thought about my why. You know, if you lose your why in life, you lose your way. And I think some of you need to be reminded of your why. Some of you may need to go back to the place where God originally called you and told you what you were supposed to do, but life, setbacks, challenges, different things that you've had to go through maybe have gotten you slightly off course. I think a day to reconcile that is today. But if you lose your why, so you lose your way, and I was thinking about that, and people would say, Lee, you and Laura are generous, and in our stewardship series, I wanted to give you a couple reasons why my wife and I are generous stewards. Because I can only share with you what I've done. That's the only thing to me that has authority and impact. It's not a thought, it's what I've lived. Number one is, I give and live generously, and I want to be a good steward because the God I serve is a giver. He's given me everything I need. He doesn't owe me anything else. But he gives seed to the sower, not seed to the keeper.

There are people that keep, but they have no fulfillment. You see, I want to be a resource. I've told people this, I want to be a paymaster for the kingdom. So it comes to me to go through me, and it's never about an amount. And by the way, you can be generous with a comment, an encouragement, you can go serve somebody, you can go mow somebody's grass, you can go help somebody, you can open up a car door. You can even open up a door for your wife when y'all go into Walmart that you walk in eight miles ahead of her. You need to slow it on down, and I'm guilty as charged, and full repentance, and to be able to sit there and just be hospitable. That's how you can be generous. This is not just at all about finances. I remember starting completely over, and I'm having one of those prayers. You know sometimes when you pray to God, when you blew it, and looking up at the ceiling, you're like, oh Lord, please, if you help me, if you help me and deliver me from this, I'll never do it again. Anybody? Okay. So I'm sitting here saying, Lord, if you give me 50 million again, I promise I'm not gonna blow it.

I'm negotiating, I'm posturing a little, and I'm telling you, I can hear God laugh. He going, boy. He didn't say it like that. He is a little, if he was Cajun, he would. He go, boy. He said, how about you be faithful to the $50 before you worry about 50 million? Because that's all we had after our tithe was 50 bucks. Starting completely over. God doesn't hold you responsible, young person. God doesn't hold you responsible, unemployed person, for what you don't have. He holds you responsible for what you do have. And so my wife and I had our 50 bucks. I called my pastor. I said, I think God's gonna use me to fund the kingdom. He wanted to meet. He was excited. And so we met, and he's like, wow, that's amazing. Tell me about that. He goes, you know, we're starting completely over, and we got $50. Okay, we're gonna move the mountain. And sure enough, we're sitting there, and he goes, well, I wanna help you with your dream. And he spoke life into me, and so we started giving $25 to two projects our church was involved in, and over a period of years, don't miss this, not months, not weeks, not days, years,

started being faithful. Then the $50, we started supporting three, four, five, 10 projects a month, and as months went by, the dollar amounts as our business started to grow, starting completely over. Then all of a sudden, then the $50 per project, and $100 per project, and $200 and $300 per project, and then it was 20 projects, and then 30 projects, and then 50 projects, and then 70 projects a month, then 90 projects a month, then 110 projects a month, then 120, 130, 140, and in a period of five years, we were supporting 145 different projects, and we had given $6 million away. Now, the moment, that's amazing, but you know what? The win is not that. The win was being. Obedient with the 50 and not looking at saying I ain't got nothing to bring I ain't got nothing to bring to the table Lord He's saying would you just please bring what is in your hand if you will be obedient to what's in your hand? It's the key to what's in your heart Some of you are chasing your purpose when you need to be faithful to your calling your calling is what's in your hand It's what you're good at every day, but you look at it and say it's mundane. It's just ordinary It's just you know a means to an end to pay bills. No, no, no, no, no That purpose is in your heart. It seems distant. You can't figure it out and you're trying to figure it out The key is not laying this down. It's being faithful to this so you can fulfill this Does that make sense? All right So I serve I give because the God I serve is a giver number two I give because I want to be an example to my kids I've got a bunch of them. Come on somebody But I want to be an example to my kids and my son Harrison travels with me and we were at in Detroit

You ever been to Detroit? They got the longest terminal. It's just one terminal It's not like Dallas where it's all spread out and organized It's just one terminal and you are walking a long ways gate 8,642 so you're you're walking in there's a PF Chang's in my house. We call that restaurant Chang's and So my son goes who he worked he worked there in college. He goes dad. Look there's Chang's I said let's go get us some Chang's and so we go in there and there was a lady there who? Serving and she had this veneer of a smile You've seen people in pain the veneer of a smile But there's a lot of pain going on behind that veneer and I looked at my son and I said son She got a lot of pain we talked to her single mom multiple jobs carrying a lot And man, I looked at my boy and I said we're gonna bless her He goes, oh man, he got all excited. He goes man. What are we gonna do? I said we're gonna bless her like Fox News kind of blessing. He's all that's awesome, man I'm so excited we get to do this. I said you ain't doing nothing. You ain't got no money I'm doing the blessing you doing the watching it's So we get the bill and I write the tip and and then it was a nice size tip And then I said and this was my faith moment We going for another digit And he goes, oh gosh dad, that's amazing and I'm like, yep ain't about us We gonna run out of here so fast when she goes back in the kitchen We're not putting the Jesus fish or putting you know a scripture on that. We just going we blessing her and we gone that's between her and God and All of a sudden we we leave and we're walking down the terminal and we're going in about 50 yards back She he goes. Oh my god dad. Here she comes And she is running. She's twice my size. She is running full sprint. Just I mean coming at it Oh, oh, baby, you're not leaving without giving me a hug and I'm like, oh gosh, okay True story, I'm embracing for impact. She's like like oh, she's coming in hot I mean aprons flying everything's flying and it's just flying and I'm just like, oh

And I'm like, so we we embrace and I said you were daughter of the king You deserve every bit of that God has not this is for somebody this morning. God has not forgotten you God ain't forgotten you and so I said you you earned all of this. He's got you She's crying. I'm crying My son's hiding How many of you know, I want to be generous and a steward so I could be an example to my kids They don't Listen to me. They watch me number three I'm a generous steward because I want to be what I'm in covenant I'm in a covenant relationship with God in my church watch this shoreline what you sow in your church Doesn't stay in this church It gets multiplied through this church The church is not a charity. It is God's strategy for here on earth Number four I Give and I'm generous because generosity is the bridge from lack to overflow But there's three things for you to move. See the problem with lack is Lack only points to itself Think about this if a church is just trying to keep the lights on They can never go help a girl get rescued out of the sex trade They can't help bring water or food or medical or in they because they just have to focus on them So they don't even have a choice. They may have the best hearts and motive but because they're in like they can't You can't do anything about anyone else. But to move into overflow, and by the way, I'm not hyper-prosperity type person or any of that, but I am a person that believes in a spirit of excellence, and everybody, God's gonna have a different pace and a different place and all of that, but we do need to steward what we have in our hand

very, very well. But you need three things to move from lack to overflow, and I'm gonna give them to you real quick. Number one is a surrendered heart. And a surrendered heart simply says, God, everything I am and everything I have, it belongs to you. I think God loathes pride more than anything. He hates it. And it's like, Lord, uh-uh, it ain't about me. I'm gonna deflect anything the world tries to put on me and put it back on you. A generous spirit, use me, God, to bless others and advance your kingdom. And I think about success. Let me give you a Laura Domingue quote. Laura Domingue would tell you, success, you gotta be careful. It'll lie to you and tell you you can be great at everything. But success not shared is failure. Success not shared is failure. That $50 obedience over time turned into millions of dollars being funded to the kingdom. But watch this, by when you give your life away after you've lived it a while, it's effectuating billions around the world. And then lastly, to go from lack to overflow is a willing step. You know, a surrendered heart,

a generous spirit, and a willing step. Let me share with you a really, it's a personal story. Put back up my family picture if you don't mind, team. See the little girl on my left? That's Isabella Grace, 21 years old, student at Auburn University, about to graduate. And this is just factual. She's made wise decisions her all 21 years. She has been an ideal daughter, works hard, integrous, virtuous, loves people, loves Jesus. She's the apple of my eye. She's my sunshine. About 14 months ago, she goes to the medical clinic at the campus, and she had a little respiratory thing, so they give her a steroid shot, which is common. But they used the wrong needle, injected it in the wrong area, and paralyzed her. Lost bladder control, S5, L1, S5, type whatever that is, nerves. And paralyzed from the waist on her right side, waist all the way through her foot. This hit us like a brick out of nowhere. Doing all this great stuff, God. Our anti-trafficking ministry, we've arrested 549 women out of the sex trade in America. I'm like, Lord, what else am I supposed to be doing? I'm being faithful. Like, but this ain't, I don't know if I want this.

Is this the price? You talk about surrender? Sometimes there's gonna be an audible call. Sometimes you're gonna go through something that ain't gonna make sense to you, like what happened with Isabella. But I can tell you this, we were going week after week after week, sleep deprivation, reaction to meds that kept her up all night. It was just chaos and we didn't understand it. And you know what, church? We were flat tired. I wasn't very spiritual after several weeks and months. I'm sitting here going, I didn't sign up for this. I'm supposed to protect my daughter. There's no money I had, no connections I had. I own an institutional pharmacy. I used to own a bunch of long-term acute care hospitals when they were profitable, hallelujah. I didn't do anything about this and my daughter is sitting there and you're picking her up to go to the bathroom and you're picking her up to go to the shower. Didn't understand it. It was making me a little mad. Do you not see us, God? Your daughter's crying out at night, who's gonna wanna marry me like this? Who's gonna wanna marry me?

Is this my life? And so we're struggling. We're tapping out. We're a strong family, but we're tired. Some of you come in today, you're tired. You wanna tap out. That's why you need to be here, because you need church family. And I remember I mean we breaking out I'm getting oil from Jerusalem. I'm going old school I'm getting like prayer cloths with scriptures on it sleep with this baby. Whatever you need to do nothing Then I'm with some guy big hair big faith Maybe like was tbn poster child back in the 90s Brother had big faith though He said lee I couldn't sleep thinking about your daughter He goes and I just started praying to God God, why do you have to wait to heal Isabella? Why can't you heal her right now? And I'm like, man, I'd be awesome, dude And he said man, let's pray for us Suddenly we were on our way to the airport in a van and he grabs our hands and says let's pray for a suddenly Bella's back at home in bed And he prays Lord, I pray you heal her right now you don't need to wait you can do it How many of you know Sometimes you got to lean on somebody else's faith Somebody else's courage Somebody else's is it got a little bit stronger than you are in that moment and you need to lean on him just a little bit That's why you need a local church and it's so important to have spiritual family When we get home and the moment we get home

It was like we walk in the door and Bella's crutches are at the stairs and we're like, oh my god Where is she? She's not responding. We run up to a room There's she's not in her bed. We're freaking out This was the very next morning in church My little sweet daughter comes walking out the bathroom Saying oh, oh mom dad I can walk because I can Mom dad I can put my foot like this because I can mom dad I can do a spin move because I can Don't tell me that God can't move in a suddenly Don't tell me that God doesn't see where you're at right now But you've got to understand sometimes this calling requires a different level of surrender But if you don't quit you win if you don't quit you win Don't be backing up. Don't be quitting at 1159 when God's showing up at midnight God has more for your life, but you've got to step into it and it needs to be a willing step And that step starts today.
