About this sermon

SERMON SERIES: SUMMER OF SURPLUS SERMON TITLE: “I GOT MY HANDS FULL” SCRIPTURE TEXT: GENESIS 48: 13-14 SPEAKER: DR. JAMAL HARRISON BRYANT, SENIOR PASTOR Welcome to Dr. Jamal Bryant’s latest sermon, "I Got My Hands Full", a powerful and timely message delivered from Genesis 48. In this inspiring service, we explore the importance of mental training, education, and spiritual renewal—especially as we prepare our children and ourselves for the challenges of a new academic year. What You'll Experience: Biblical Insight: Discover the story of Joseph, Ephraim, and Manasseh, and how God's blessings can break the spirit of competition and bring generational favor. Practical Tools: Learn about a unique mental exercise inspired by Russian schools that can help children and adults alike improve focus, reading comprehension, and problem-solving skills. Parents and educators, you’ll want to try this at home! Steps for the Russian Rewiring Exercise Prepare the Materials:Place two sheets of paper in front of you.Hold a writing instrument in each hand.Assign Tasks to Each Hand:With your left hand, write the numbers 1 through 20 on one sheet of paper.With your right hand, write the letters of the alphabet A through T (the first 20 letters) on the other sheet of paper.Perform the Exercise:Write with both hands at the same time.Do not use one hand to help or guide the other.You have five minutes to complete the exercise.Expect Challenges:In the first three minutes, it is normal for your hands to freeze or for your focus to collapse. This is part of the process.If you or your child gets frustrated or wants to stop, encourage them to start over and try again. Freezing up is not failure—it is part of the brain's rewiring process.Repeat:Do this exercise once a day for seven consecutive days. What to Expect: The exercise will feel overwhelming at first, but persistence is key.After seven days, many people notice improved awareness, clearer thinking, faster reading, better comprehension, and easier recall of information.This process is called interhemispheric communication—it helps the left and right sides of the brain work together in new ways. Example Implementation: Sit your child at a table with two sheets of paper and two pencils.Set a timer for five minutes.Encourage them to write numbers 1–20 with their left hand and letters A–T with their right hand, simultaneously.If they get stuck, remind them that it's normal and to try again from the top.Repeat daily for a week. This exercise is recommended for children (elementary through college) and adults alike, and can be a powerful tool to prepare for academic and personal growth. Empowerment for Families: Receive prayers and declarations over your children, your family, and your future. This message is filled with encouragement for parents, grandparents, and guardians to cover their children in prayer and prepare them for success. Testimonies of Transformation: Hear real-life stories of breakthrough, including scholarships awarded, families reunited, and lives changed through faith and community support. A Call to Worship and Action: Be inspired to worship God openly in your home and to model faith for the next generation. Key Takeaways: You are anointed to do more than one thing well—God can bless you and those connected to you at the same time.Education and spiritual growth go hand in hand; renewing your mind is essential for overcoming challenges. Every child in your family is destined for greatness—God’s hand is on all of them! Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more uplifting messages.
