Relationship - Right speech

Relationships - RIGHT SPEECH

Last session we learnt about not to overpower your spouse/partner in relationship.

There is a Chinese saying which carries the meaning that "A speech will either prosper or ruin a nation." Many relationships break off because of wrong speech. When a couple is too close with each other, we always forget mutual respect and courtesy. We may say anything without considering if it would hurt the other party.

A friend and her millionaire husband visited their construction site. A worker who wore a helmet saw her and shouted, "Hi, Emily! Remember me? We used to date in the secondary school." On the way home, her millionaire husband teased her, "Luckily you married me. Otherwise you will be the wife of a construction worker." She answered," You should appreciate that you married me. Other wise, he will be the millionaire and not you."

Frequently exchanging these remarks plants the seed for a bad relationship. It's like a broken egg - cannot be reversed.

Ephesians 4:29 says "Let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth, but what is good for necessary edification, that it might impart grace to the hearers." Let us be people who bring grace to others through our conversations.

Blessings,
Rencin

Leadership Keys

-
"Before You are a leader, success is all about growing yourself.  When you become a leader, success is all about growing other. - Jack Welch" Everyday is a new day. Leadership is all about having new beginning everyday. Success does not come all of a sudden. It needs growth. For growth we need persistence. To be persistent we need to have a goal and a vision. If we lack in these both then we would be aimless. It is just a mere time waste. Many times we take time to get our vision withing ourselves. Once we have that vision it is very important to pursue it daily. We are all learning and our learning ends only when we when we breath our last breath. Many time we are caught up learning and we seldom forget that what we need many times is unlearning. Our growth determines our destiny. Today in the leadership process to become a good successful leader what we need to understand is that every single day in our life is an opportunity to grow. An opportunity that we have got...

What difference did you make?

-
Jesus broke a few things to make a difference. He broke the caste/creed difference by drinking water from a Samaritan woman. He broke the high/low class difference by spending time with the poor. He had touched and healed the lepers by doing so He broke the difference of untouchables. His disciples were mostly fishermen who were uneducated and so he broke the difference of literate and illiterate. He ate on a Sabbath day and broke the difference of traditions and cultures. He allowed the prostitute woman to touch His feet and so doing He broke the concept of sinners and the sinful being forgiven. What have broken in your life to make a difference? Last not but the least He died on the cross as a ransom for us, He became Sin for us and curse for our generations. He conquered death and won victory by coming back to life. He is alive today and living in you and me. What have broken in your life to make a difference? God bless, Rencin Matthew

Living the Dream

Living the Dream We all love to dream, dream is a part of our life. Dreaming dreams bigger than our self is the integrity that we can have in our life. All of us have dreams. Dream to build a big house, earn 4 or 5 figured salary, live life in all comforts, living in joy and happiness. Dreams are a part of our sub-conscious mind which always projects that which we desire and think in most of the circumstances. Dreams involve our emotions, peace, joy and career. To many of us our career is a dream and to others their work, family, education, relationship and loved ones. To have our small dreams fulfilled we need to dream big. Martin Luther King Jr a famous role model and reformer while giving a speech he stated that he had a dream. Little was known of his dream. He had a big dream, a dream where both a white and a black child would play together, and every human has rights of his own and a world of harmony. Mahatma Gandhi dreamt of a free India. Many great leaders and noted figure had a...
