MAXIMIZING (3)

INTRODUCTION

Developing competence from a Christian perspective is not merely a matter of personal ambition, but a calling of faith to manage the talents God has entrusted to us responsibly (Matthew 25:14–30).

Leadership Principle: “A person ceases to lead when they cease to learn”. Spiritual and professional growth must go hand in hand (Proverbs 1:7).

CONTENTS

Practical steps for self-development that please the Lord involve several stages:

  1. Expanding one’s horizons and knowledge (Psalm 111:10).

    Making God’s Word a source of wisdom, whilst remaining eager to learn new and positive things.

  2. Building a healthy self-image (Job 7:17–18).

    Realising that we are precious in God’s eyes, so that we dare to step out of feelings of low self-esteem.

    We are beautiful pearls. It is said that we are more precious than Heaven.

  3. Conquering the mind (2 Kings 6:15–17)

    Sifting out negative words and thoughts, then aligning them with the truth of Christ.

  4. For the glory of God.

    Our developing potential must be a blessing to the Church of God, to our fellow human beings, and to the expansion of the Kingdom of God.

CONCLUSION

Continue to maximize your potential.
