HOW DO YOU LEAD??

A young man saw his primary school teacher at a wedding ceremony.
He went to greet him with all respect and admiration!!

He said to him:
"Can you still recognize me Sir?'

'I don't think so!!', said the Teacher, 'could you please remind me how we met?'

The student recounted:
 "I was your Student in the 3rd Grade, I stole a Wrist watch belonging to my then classmate because it was unique and fascinating.
     
My Classmate came to you crying that his Wrist Watch had been stolen and you ordered all Students in the class to stand on a straight line, facing the wall with our hands up and our eyes closed so you could check our pockets. At this point, I became jittery and terrified of the outcome of the search. The shame I will face after other Students discovered that I stole the Watch, the opinions my Teachers will form about me, the thought of being named a ' thief' till I leave the School and my Parents' reaction when they get to know about my action. All these thoughts flowing across my heart, when suddenly it was my turn to be checked. I felt your hand slipped into my pocket and you brought out the Watch. I was gripped with fear,  expecting the worse to be announced. I was surprised I didn't hear anything, but Sir, you continued searching other Students' pockets till you got to the last person.

When the search was over, you asked us to open our eyes and sit on our Chairs. I was afraid to sit because I was thinking you will call me out soon after everyone was seated.

But to my amazement, you showed the watch to the class, gave it to the owner and you never mentioned the name of the one who stole the watch.
You didn't say a word to me, and you never mentioned the story to anyone.

Throughout my stay in the school, no Teacher or Student knew what happened. This incident naturally taught me a great lesson and I resolved in my heart never to get myself involved in taking whatever is not mine.    
I thought to myself, you saved my dignity."

"Do you remember the story now Sir? You can't simply forget this story Sir!!"

The teacher replied, ' I vividly remember the story that I found the Watch in a pocket but i did not know in whose pocket the stolen Watch was found that day because I searched your pockets while I also had my eyes  closed."

In life, we need wisdom for everything we do. As Parents, Teachers, Leaders etc... We should be able to close our eyes to some things. Not all misbehaviour require punishment. Some will need encouragement, some mentoring and some monitoring. Be a Leader who impacts not one who shatters.

SEX IS FOOD

SEX IS FOOD!!! A must read...

Sex is not all about making children. You must be a different woman to your husband every time. Seduce your husband, don't always allow your husband to ask for Sex, there must be no timetable for sex. Be creative, don't be predictable. Give him what he wants. If you loose influence over your husband, you have lost womanhood. Be part of your husband plans.
Don't have too many children, you wanna sell them ? Allow your husband to check in and out anytime.
When a man is sexually satisfied, he is emotionally stable. Stop saying, is it food ? Yes, sex is food !!!
As a wife, try to invest in yourself spiritually so you can adequately support him. Build yourself as his prayer warrior so that you will not be forced to pray at the end of your life. Don't allow your husband to provide all your needs, he is not a money making machine. Iron sharpens iron, try to reciprocate.
You are meant to support each other spiritually, financially, physically and morally through thick and thin. You are a builder....Wise woman buildeth her home. Women need wisdom to build their homes. Do not be too outspoken, know when to talk, when to listen and when to be quiet.
Love your husband with all your heart, never tell him, if not because of my children, remember you've known him before the arrival of those children.
Pamper your husband, put his head on your chest and pray for him. Give him unannounced kiss from the back.... mwahhhhhh, don't be too holy to kiss in the public. He is your husband for God sake. Be romantic joooo, it is good for the heart. Some people are not happy that you're happy in that marriage, proof them wrong that you love him and he is your crown, always feel good when you hold him. Don't look 50 while you're still under 40, it drives men crazy. Always keep fit regardless of your age or body.

To men:
Do not take a woman who does all these for granted!
Pamper her, pray for her, cherish her, love her, support her financially, make her feel like your woman! God bless you and your marriages.

Principles of Politics

Understand the principles of politics.

In politics you must understand that;

1. Nobody has your interests.

2. Everybody is chasing their own interests.

3. Dealing with politicians is like sleeping with tigers; you must always have your eyes wide open.

4. In any political equation, there's always someone being used. If you can't find one then it is you.

5. Serving politicians is like being a bandage on a wound. Once the wound is healed your usefulness ends. Politicians don't recognize and reward value they recognize their own needs....and you are only as useful as the lifespan of their need for you.

6. In politics never wail more than the bereaved. They will get the reward while you inherit their enemies. Baba is eating today while Miguna is wailing from Canada.

7. In politics, in any event that other interests conflict with your own interests and you have to choose, always choose yours.

8. Never cross oceans for politicians; you will drown and the best they will do is give a benevolent speech at your burial, lie to your widow and children and eat your food. You are lucky if they don't eat your widow too. Politicians will never cross the streets for their foot soldiers.

9. Only Jesus can die for people and you are not Jesus.

10. Above all, family and health are things you should never use to attack a man.

Submitting to God totally

Submit to God
Keys to victory
James 4:7-8
” 7 So submit to [the authority of] God. Resist the devil [stand firm against him] and he will flee from you.

A mother ordered her disobedient son to sit in a corner. After a couple of minutes of sitting, the boy told his mother, “I’m sitting down on the outside, but I’m standing up on the inside!”

Can one obey without submitting? I think the young man in the story above clearly illustrates that yes one can seemingly obey yet they have not submitted. To obey is an outward action that people see but submission has to do with the heart and attitude. You can obey but with a rotten attitude is that then submission?

To submit is to yield to a higher force or to the will or authority of another. If you and I want to walk in victory then the first place to start is in the place of submission to the authority of God over our lives. We have to accept that His ways are higher than ours and that His will is superior to ours. You and I have to willingly live our life according to His direction and instruction and everything we do has to stem from the drive of wanting to fulfill His purpose even when it hurts or does not make sense. Like Jesus in the garden of Gethsemane we have to come to the place we say not my will by thine be done!
God does not want to force us into submitting because then though we would obey our hearts would not be in it. Our submission to his authority has to be willful it has to be a personal decision out of which then we walk in obedience without having someone with a stick following us all the time to make sure we do it.

To submit to the authority of God is not a place of weakness neither is it a position of oppression. This is a place of victory a place where we can now effectively fight the enemy of our souls, the devil. It is not just a place of victory but a place of guaranteed victory each time every time.
Submit yourself therefore to God!

Reflections.
What does submitting to the authority of God look like to you?
__________________________________

What’s the difference of submit and subject? Could you have confused submit and subject?
__________________________________

Do you submit only when it is convenient or at all times even when you don’t understand what God is doing?

It is Just Life

It is Just Life

When life happens , You should happen too

When life looses, count the loss and learn too

God Speaks to Each one

A young man attended a Wednesday Night Bible Study and the Pastor preached about listening to GOD and
obeying the Lord's voice. The young man couldn't help but ponder, 'Does GOD still speak to people?'
After service, he went out with some friends for coffee and pie and they discussed the message.
They talked about how GOD had led them in different ways.
It was about ten o'clock when the young man started driving home, and he prayed; ' GOD...If you still speak to people, speak to me. I will listen. I will do my best to obey.' As he drove down the main street of his town, he had the strangest thought to stop and buy a gallon of milk. He shook his head and said out loud, GOD is that you?' He didn't get a reply and started on toward home. But again, the thought, buy a gallon of milk came. The young man thought about Samuel and how he didn't recognize the voice of GOD, and how little Samuel ran to Eli. 'Okay, GOD, in case that is you, I will buy the milk.' It didn't seem like too hard a test of obedience. He could always use the milk. He stopped and purchased the gallon of milk and started off toward home.
As he passed Seventh Street , he again felt the urge, 'Turn Down that street.' This is crazy he thought, and drove on past the intersection. Again, he felt that he should turn down Seventh Street .At the next intersection; he turned back and headed down Seventh. Half jokingly, he said out loud,’ Okay, GOD I will.' He drove several blocks, when suddenly, he felt like he should stop. He pulled over to the curb and looked around. He was in a semi- commercial area of town. It wasn't the best but it wasn't the worst of neighborhoods either. The businesses were closed and most of the houses looked dark like the people were already in bed. Again, he sensed something, 'Go and give the milk to the people in the house across the street' The young man looked at the house. It was dark and it looked like the people were either gone or they were already asleep. He started to open the door and then sat back in the car seat 'Lord, this is insane. Those people are asleep and if I wake them up, they are going to be mad and I will look stupid.' Again, he felt like he should go and give the milk. Finally, he opened the door, 'Okay GOD, if this is you, I will go to the door and I will give them the milk. If you want me to look like a crazy person, okay. I want to be obedient. I guess that will count for something, but if they don't answer right away, I am out of here.' He walked across the street and rang the bell. He could hear some noise inside. A man's voice yelled out, 'Who is it? What do you want?’ Then the door opened before the young man could get away. The man was standing there in his jeans and T-shirt. He looked like he just got out of bed. He had a strange look on his face and he didn't seem too happy to have some stranger standing on his doorstep. 'What is it?' The young man thrust out the gallon of milk, Here, I brought this to you.' The man took the milk and rushed down a hallway. Then from down the hall came a woman carrying the milk towards the kitchen. The man was following her holding a baby. The baby was crying. The man had tears streaming down his face. The man began speaking and half crying, 'We were just praying. We had some big bills this month and we ran out of money. We didn't have any milk for our baby. I was just praying and asking God to show me how to get some milk.
His wife in the kitchen yelled out, 'I ask him to send an Angel with some. Are you an angel?
The young man reached into his wallet and pulled out all the money he had on him and put in the man’s hand. He turned and walked back to his car and the tears were streaming down his face. He knew that GOD still answers prayers.
If you believe that GOD is alive and well, send this to at least ten people. This is an easy test -you score 100 or zero. It's your choice. If you aren’t ashamed to do this, please follow the direction. JESUS said” If you are ashamed of me, I will be ashamed of you before my Father.

Don't share this because you want a miracle.

Share to help a brother believe in prayer. It is a blessing to do God's work.

Amen

Ultimately The Good Man

Ultimately The Good Man -WHAT IT TAKES TO MAKE A GOOD MAN:

When a man treats his woman right, there is a reason why. The reason could be:-

1. "He doesn't want to be like his father"
If his father was a drunkard, unfaithful, a wife beater and irresponsible; the man grew up vowing to be different, never to sink as low as his father did, to counter his dad's actions. The father treated his mother like trash, but he treats his woman like a Queen

2. "His father set a good example"
The man's father could have modelled what a great man, husband, father, worker and friend looks like. As the man does good he refers to his father, his role model. Fathers, set the right example for your sons to follow

3. "Finding a woman is an answered prayer"
If the man used to genuinely pray for a woman to love, he will love on that woman when God sends her his way. Hurting her will be hurting himself

4. "He grew up with loving sisters"
A man who grows up loving his sister/s and respecting the females in his life, he learns how to relate with people of the opposite sex and that prepares him on how to relate with the number one woman in his life

5. "The pain of an ex"
A man who was cheated on, hurt and heart broken by his ex will most likely protect his woman from the pain his ex made him go through. Because he knows how it hurts to be messed up by a lover, he will not mess up his love

6. "Lessons from regret"
If a man once felt bad letting a good woman slip away, if he gets another chance to love that same good woman or a new good woman, he will not be foolish again

7. "An act of God"
God shapes people, God can turn a man into a great man regardless of the man's past. A good man can be moulded into an even better man, a wrong man can be transformed into an attractive and loving man who unlearns how to hurt women and learns how to be there for a woman

8. "Appreciation for his single mother"
A man who grew up with a single mother and an absent father, he tends to honour his mother. He appreciates the sacrifice his mum went through and sees the suppressed desire the mum had for a man in her life. His single mother raised him to be a good man and a good husband, when he gets a woman he will love that woman with the love he wishes his mother had

9. "The right exposure"
A man exposed to great men tends to be great. If a man is surrounded by uncles, friends, and colleagues who treat their wives well he will be challenged to treat his well. Lady, if your man is treating you badly, check out his friends. Iron sharpens iron, cheats encourage cheats

10. "He loves her"
Ultimately, when a man genuinely treats his woman well it is because he loves her, even his ego bows to the power of love

HUSBAND TELL YOUR WIFE I LOVE YOU

A group of husbands gathered at a conference on "How to live in a loving relationship with your wife".
They were asked: "How many of you love your wives?"
All raised their hands. Then they were asked, "When was the  last time you told your wife you loved her ?" Some men answered: "Today", some: "yesterday", The majority didn’t remember.
The men were then told to take their cell phones and send the following text to their respective wives: "I love you sweetheart".
Then the men were asked to exchange phones so one can read the response each wife had sent. Here are some of the replies:
1. "Have you impregnated someone again?"
2. "That was then, not now".
3. "I know you want to borrow money from me again. Forget it!"
4. "What have you done again? I won’t forgive you this time!
5. What do you mean?"
6. "Is that a name of a new song?"
7. "Am I dreaming! "
8. "If you don’t tell me who this message is actually for, you will die today!"
9. "I asked you to stop drinking!"
10. "May I know who is this?"
11. "You should start seeing your psychiatrist again! This is not a good sign!".
12. "Who gave you air time?"
13. "What do you want?"
14. "Is your mother coming to live with us again?"
---------------------
Men in this group learn to tell your wives "I love you"!.
It keeps marriages healthy.

Adapt and Evolve _Business Language

Adapt and Evolve _Business Language 

I never did an MBA, but that didn’t stop me from becoming the CEO of a large insurance company in India. My lessons in management didn’t come from business books, but from things around me. I try to learn something new from every interaction—from people I meet, animals on the street, or even the weather. What has taught me the most about the workplace and its challenges? Watching street vendors.

Street vendors have existed, survived, and thrived through periods of economic despair. The environment they operate in is dynamic and constantly changing, and yet, with the limited resources they have, you’ll see them whipping up customized dishes, changing their wares to suit the current trends, and excelling at customer service.

It’s pretty much like the workplace—challenging, constantly changing, and urging us to be flexible and resilient. The key here is to observe things around you, to cope with these constant changes, and reinventing yourself to stay relevant. And that’s exactly what the street vendors do—they adapt, evolve, and finally overcome the challenge, never getting tired of repeating the cycle again.

Here’s how to apply 3 vital street-vendor strategies to your life and career.

1.  Adapt

A well-known Indian street food that I thoroughly enjoy is a steaming hot vada pav (fried potato dumpling–the vada–placed inside a bread bun–the pav–served with an assortment of chutneys). However, the scorching Indian summers can be a dampener for the vada pav business as all you crave for during that season is a chilled soda or lemonade. On one such hot and sunny day, while on my way to work, I came across a vada pav vendor who had found a tactful solution to this problem. He was serving chilled lemonade along with the vada pav. So now there were two things you can’t resist!  It’s then that I realized that he changes the beverage depending on the weather. In the winter and during monsoons, he replaces the lemonade with hot tea.

Similarly, staying relevant and adapting to the conditions around you plays a crucial role in your success at the workplace.  As rising leaders, you need to face the changes head on and adapt to them. It may be a change in organization structure or your role in a particular project. You need to identify the opportunity in each of those roadblocks, understand what is expected of you, modify your approach, and deliver accordingly.

2. Evolve

With the advent of Artificial Intelligence and its rampant integration into our work, we’re constantly fearing redundancy. If you don’t have the skills that the market needs, you’ll probably find it hard to get a job you desire. Street vendors, too, fear the constant changes in the fashion space, for example. They’re constantly rotating their stocks based on the latest trends. Can you imagine walking to Linking Road market (Mumbai) or Sarojini Nagar market (New Delhi) and not finding those slim pants that your favorite celebrity donned last week?

Likewise, it’s important for you to keep up with what’s new and upgrade your skills to survive the jobs of tomorrow. You don’t have to spend a lot to learn. You can learn from attending seminars, networking with people, reading good magazines and blogs, or taking various courses online.

3. Overcome and Rebound

Street vendors face a significant number of adversities day in and day out. Sometimes they aren’t even certain if they will be able to set up the shop next morning (what if the weather is really bad?!). And if they haven’t been able to set up shop one day, you’ll see them at their spot the next day, even more charged to make a good sale and cut back on losses for not being able to set up shop the previous day.

Imagine your project deadline is moved up or your team lead suddenly calls in sick and you have a deadline to meet that day: What will you do? Instead of sulking and blaming the powers that there may be, find a way to make it work. If the deadline has been moved up, recalibrate with the team and move things around as necessary to deliver your work. If your team lead has called in sick, take charge and fill in for her. It may mean working a few extra hours, but isn’t it going to be worth it to prove you are capable? Remember to always expect the unexpected and prepare accordingly.

Your most valuable lessons in managing your work will not come from academic resources. Your experiences teach you what formal education cannot—especially when it comes to coping mechanisms, working on your attitude, resilience, adaptability, drive, or enthusiasm. Look for best practices when you interact with people and try to implement what you learn along the way

WRANGLERS AND STRANGLERS

Many years ago there were a group of brilliant young men at the University of Wisconsin.  The group of men seemed to have an amazing creative literary talent and were extraordinary in their ability to put their literary skills to its best use. These promising young men met regularly to read and critique each other’s literary works.

These men were merciless while they criticized one another. They dissected the most minute of the expressions and offered tough and even mean criticism to each others work. Their  meeting sessions became arenas of literary criticism and the members of this exclusive club called themselves the “Stranglers.”

Not to be excluded to the opportunity to level up there literary skills, the women of literary interest in the university started a club of their own, one comparable to Stranglers. The members called themselves the “ Wranglers.” The member of the lub too presented their literary pieces in front of each another. But the feedback from the members were much more softer, more positice and more encouraging. Every effort from a member, even the most feeble one, was encouraged by all.

After twenty years, a university alumnus was doing a study of his classmates’ career when he noticed a huge difference  in the literary accomplishments of the Stranglers and the Wranglers.

Among all the brilliant young men in the strangler, none had made any significant literary achievement. But the Wrangers had several successful writers and some renowned national literary talents.

The talent and the education between the two groups were almost the same. There were not much difference. The Stranglers strangled each other while the Wranglers gave each other a lift. The stranglers created atmosphere of contention and self doubt while the Wranglers brought out the best in each other.

About The Nobel Prize

HOW DO YOU WANT TO BE REMEMBERED ?

About The Nobel Prize- The one I want to win 

More than a decade ago, a man was reading his morning newspaper. To his surprise and horror, he read his name in the obituary column. The news papers had mistakenly reported the death of the wrong person for sure. He was shocked to read news headline  about his death. When he regained his composure, He read it to find out what people had said about him.

The obituary included sentences like, “Dynamite King Dies.” and “He was the merchant of death.”. The man was the inventor of dynamite and when he read the words “merchant of death,” he asked himself a question,

“Is this how I am going to be remembered?” he asked himself. He decided that this was not the way he wanted to be remembered and he decided to change.

From that day on, he started working toward world peace. His name was Alfred Nobel and he is remembered today by the great Nobel Prize, the greatest of all the prizes.

The Nobel Prize has been honoring men and women from all corners of the globe for outstanding achievements in physics, chemistry, medicine, literature, and for work in peace since 1901. The foundations for the prize were laid in 1895 when Alfred Nobel wrote his last will, leaving much of his wealth to the establishment of the Nobel Prize.

Moral : It is never late to start over.

Thomas Edison- Hero Mother

THOMAS EDISON AND A NOTE

One day the young Thomas Edison came home and handed a paper to his mother from his school. He told her, “My teacher gave this paper to me and told me to give it only to you.”

His mother’s eyes were tearful as she read the letter out loud to her son. “ Your son is a genius. This school is too small for him and doesn’t have good teachers for training him. Please teach him yourself.”

After years, Edison’s mother died and he was renowned as one of the greatest inventors of the century. One day he was going through his old family things. Suddenly, he noticed a folded paper in the corner of a drawer. He took it and opened it up.

On the paper was written: “Your son is addled. We won’t let him come to school any more.”

Thomas Edison cried for hours and then he wrote in his diary: “Thomas Alva Edison was an addled child that, by a hero mother, became the genius of the century.”

THE MARBLE STATUE

In the middle of a beautiful city, there was a museum laid with beautiful marble tiles and with a huge marble statue as a part of the display.  Many people from all over the world visited the museum every day and admired the beautifully crafted statue. One night, the marble tiles started talking to the marble statue.

Marble Tiles: Hey statue, Don’t you think that it is just not fair that everybody from all over the world come all the way here to admire you while ignoring and stepping on me.

Marble Statue: My dear brother, marble tile, Don’t you remember we are actually from the same cave.

Marble Tile: Yes! I do, that is why i feel it is even more unfair. Both of us were born from the same cave and yet the world treats us so differently now. This is so unfair!

Marble Statue: Yes you are right my brother. But, do you still remember the day when the sculptor tried to work on you but you resisted his tools.

Marble Tiles: Yes, I despise that guy. How could he use those nasty tools on me.

Marble Statue: Well, Since you resisted his tools he couldn’t work on you. When he decided to give up on you, he started working on me instead. I knew at once that i would be something different and unique after his efforts. I bore all the painful tools he used on me and allowed him craft me as he wanted!

Marble Tiles: But those tools were so painful.

Marble Statue: My brother, there is a price for everything in life. Since, you decided to resist and gave up half way, you can’t blame anybody who steps on you now.!

The marble tiles silently listened to his brothers words. and started to reflect on it.

Moral: The harder the knocks you go through in life, the more you learn and put them to use in the future! Do not be discouraged by setbacks and failures! Keep trying to be better.

The Excellent Marriage Advice I Was Given When I Became a Wife

I recently reread some advice that I was given shortly before my husband and I got married. At my wedding shower, several ladies who had been married anywhere from a couple of years to over 20 years gave me notecards on which they had documented marriage advice.

I thought the advice was great then, but I have an even greater appreciation for it now that I’ve been married for some time. Though none of these women were “marriage experts,” they gave really sound advice! Whether you’re about to get married or you’ve been married for decades, I hope you are inspired by these snippets of insight.

GREAT MARRIAGE ADVICE

“The most important thing you can do for your husband is to pray for him every day. You will be amazed how much can be resolved in prayer without having to say a word to your spouse.”

“Be the first to end a quarrel with an apology—a real apology.”

“Don’t forget to have girlfriends. Your husband cannot play that role.”

“Laugh, laugh, laugh! Seriously, at the end of the day, a lot of fights can be avoided by choosing to assume the best of each other.”

“Let him love you. No matter how big or small of a gesture, be appreciative of the love he is trying to show you.”

“A good wife forgives her husband; a great wife forgives before he asks for it. A good wife gives her husband what she knows he needs; a great wife gives him what he thinks he needs. A good wife has sex with her husband; a great wife initiates sex on her own.”

“Assume you are/have the problem (not that your husband is/has the problem). Consider that we are to die to ourselves.”

“Let yourself laugh. You can always discuss things more seriously later, but it’s hard to go back and laugh if you initially overreact with negative emotion.”

“Once the wedding is over, the question ‘Did I marry the right person?’ isn’t relevant anymore.”

“Don’t follow your heart. Lead your heart to love him.”

Based on my experience, there are a few additional pieces of advice that are essential:

·        Pray together daily.

·        Don’t complain about your husband to friends or family members. Bless him and maintain your respect for him by speaking highly of him instead.

·        Communicate your needs and expectations clearly because your husband can’t read your mind.

·        Continue to go on dates.

·        No matter how busy you get, take time every day to look your husband in the eye, say “I love you,” and reconnect for a moment.

FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT

 FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT
The flesh and the spirit are at war against each other such that at times you find yourself doing the things you know you should not be doing. When you yield to the flesh then you will manifest the fruits of the flesh. In the same way if you yield to the Holy Spirit then you will manifest the fruit of the Spirit in your life. But what is the fruit of the Spirit?

Galatians 5:22 (AMP)
22 But the fruit of the Spirit [the result of His presence within us] is love [unselfish concern for others], joy, [inner] peace, patience [not the ability to wait, but how we act while waiting], kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control. Against such things there is no law.

Compare that to the works of the flesh

Galatians 5:19-21 (AMP)
19 Now the practices of the [a]sinful nature are clearly evident: they are sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality (total irresponsibility, lack of self-control), 20 [b]idolatry, [c]sorcery, hostility, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, disputes, dissensions, factions [that promote heresies], 21 envy, drunkenness, riotous behavior, and other things like these. I warn you beforehand, just as I did previously, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.

When the fruit of the Spirit manifests in your life, then you begin to display Gods nature.
Your love for people and the things of God begins to grow; you begin appreciating each individual as a son or daughter of God and not because of what they have.
We see joy in your life and even as the bible says that joy of the Lord is your strength, your joy is not determined by outside forces but by the Spirit on the inside.
The peace of God that surpasses all understanding envelopes you and regardless of the situation you are going through, you are enveloped in His peace.
With longsuffering you are able to endure like Job when you go through trials without complaining.
You become gentle in the way you handle people and situations around you, you display the same gentleness Jesus showed when He dealt with the woman caught in adultery. You do not condone the sin but you handle people with gentleness.
Humility becomes a reality in your life as you understand that it is not about you but about Christ who lives in you.
Faith arises in you as the Holy Spirit bears witness to the words that you read from the pages of the bible.
I don’t know about you, but I think that is a very powerful fruit that will draw others to Christ as they see it in you.

You may be looking at your life and you can only see small traces of this fruit in your life. Let me encourage you by telling you that fruit does not grow in one day. It takes time from when the fruit buds on the tree to the time when I it edible. For you right now the fruit may just be budding. Take heart and allow the Holy Spirit to continue working in you because the fruit will continue to grow and develop.

Declaration
I will not yield to the promptings of the flesh, I will allow the Holy Spirit to lead and guide me, I will follow His lead so that the fruit of the Spirit is evident in my everyday life
