Please Encourage Others!

John Maxwell's 25 Ways to Win With People:
8. Encourage the Dream of Others - Naomi and Ruth (Ruth 3:1-6)

Mike's Thoughts:
To me, my most important job as a leader is to be an encourager. People need encouragement, whether it is at work, at school or in the home. This is so important in marriage ... I just can't emphasize enough the positive energy in a marriage between partners who lift each other up. It also makes a tremendous difference in the work environment if the leader is an encourager to his/her people.

Mike's Action Points:
1- I pray that God helps me to be an encourager to everyone in my life.
2- I will practice by encouraging myself and those I talk to each day.
3- I will read encouraging books, go to encouraging movies and associate with encouraging people.

Inherit a Blessing

3/3/09

1 Peter 3:8-9:
8 Finally, all of you be of one mind, having compassion for one another; love as brothers, be tenderhearted, be courteous; 9 not returning evil for evil or reviling for reviling, but on the contrary blessing, knowing that you were called to this, that you may inherit a blessing.

Mike’s Thoughts:
How much better our world would be if we could follow the above advise
in our workplaces, in our families, amongst our friends and in the body of
Christ. Most importantly, in my opinion, is to start with the family. If we can
achieve oneness in mind within our families and living to be blessings to each other, then our families will be stronger and will serve as examples for
the workplace and all other relationships we have.
