INTRODUCTION

"One of the things each one of us has to know is that we are the object of God's love and the love of God has been clearly directed towards us. Not only are we from God but the bible tells us that he paid specially for us. Praise the Lord.!

You can be an absolute success in your life. Be at the top of your game, so you can live a glorious life now, your life can be beautiful.
KJV
1Pe 3:10  For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile:

1Pe 3:11  Let him eschew evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and ensue it.

1Pe 3:12  For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil.


The bible is God's instruction manual for a great life, to sum it up, Be agreeable,Be sympathetic, Be humble

KJV
1Pe 3:8  Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous:

1Pe 3:9  Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing.

1Pe 3:10  For he that will love life, and see gooddays, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak noguile:

1Pe 3:11  Let him eschew evil, and do good; let himseek peace, and ensue it.

1.0QUIT WANTING TO BE SOMEBODY ELSE.
[/size]
Have value for yourself. The first person you've got with you is you! You're valuable to God

God expresses himself through every one of us differently. Your responsibility is to bring the best out of you. If you can treat yourself right, you can't treat anyone right. Be happy for you, you are valuable to God. We cannot all be thesame. Don't compare yourself with others. God already has you, why would he want another you? There was no you that has exited nor will exist after you.

Until you recognize that we are all different and unique, we cannot produce the best out of ourselves.

Jesus taught us that Words are seeds. What do we do with seed? We sow them... What do you sow into your personality? Words whether good or bad come to us all the time and these messages become seeds in our lives, and it reproduces our character. You are the result of those seeds that were sown in your life. You are the result of the books you have been reading, the movies you have been watching or the person you have been listening to.

You can make adjustments of your life by the seeds you sow to make a change. Sow the right seeds into your personality; words that lift you up.


Set your mind off the things that demeans you.

Be what God has made you, and you can make the necessary improvements by sowingthe right seeds in your life.
Words are the most beautiful gift given to us by God. The ability to express ourselves in word. God gave us words so that we can stir our lives in the direction of ourwords.

If you have a baby and isolate him from people, having no one to talk to, he will grow up dumb, he can't express himself in words, because he will not understand them. Words are so beautiful, they are a gift from God. Words are not just good just to communicate with others. God gave us words to direct our lives. If your words are heading to a way of peace, your life will go in the way of peace too.


When we speak evil or bad of other people, we destroy an important element in ourlives. It works against us, it corrupts our spirits.


Anyone who wants to have a good life, Learn to Control your tongue. God placed us here to help other people and be in the place of God. Don’t speak evil and don't speak hurtful words to other people or about other people. When you speak evil or bad words to other people, you're actually destroying the programming of good that God has for us and you begin to go the wrong way.


Summary:

1.Be satisfied that God loves and values you the way you are.

2.Sow good seeds into your life with words; listen to words that inspire you.

3.Stop/ refrain from things that demean you.

2.0QUIT TRYING TO CHANGE OTHER PEOPLE.
[/size]

Don't love people only if/because they measure up to your standard. Start seeing people the way God sees them. Don't think if only your friend, wife or son would be like you things would be better.

You can't change anybody. The question is, why do you think that person needs a change?

They're all wonderful the way they are. The only change you need is to help you become even more glorious; to become more of what God wants you to be.
Become all things to all men referring to Apostles Paul, in 1 Corinth 9:22 To the weak became I as weak, that I might gain the weak: I am made all things to all men, that I might by all means save some. it means I made adjustments to relate with all.

We can shape God's word to help people become what God wants them to be, and not what we want them to be.


That message of self-value is the beginning of transformation from one level to another.
God's expression of Jesus is a spiritual mirror. Don't set your standards for them, but let Jesus be manifested to them

3.0 QUIT JUDGING OTHER PEOPLE.
[/size]

1Tim 4:11 And that ye study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you;


Mind your business. Learn to live a quiet life. Appreciate people just the way they're and you will be amazed. Choose to see the best in others. If you mind your own business you will be successful in your business. Get off other people's case.


Don't make it your business to break into other people’s business. Get off other peoples case and you would be happy, because the more you go into other people's business the more you would judge them. Mind your business.

Don't be a garbage can; don't let people introduce terrible stories into your life. There is always something wrong with the other guy. It’s interesting how we don't like people we have never met. We tell lies about others that we are not sure of what we are talking about. Busy telling others, "yes its true," as if you were there, and by the way, even the one who told you the story was not there. Put a stop to this.



Never tell stories that make other people dislike those we are talking about. God does not want us to participate in that. Don't project and propagate hatred,instead propagate love, because you are an offspring of love and that ought to be your message.

When you judge others, God ignores you

They once brought a woman who was caught in the very act of adultery to Jesus.
Jesus ignored them when they were judging the woman. It means that's what God does,God ignores you when you are busy judging others.

Then Jesus raised his head up and told them that, "let he without sin cast the first stone", then one by one turned back and left the place.

Don't be good at judging other. When Jesus ignored those who wanted to condemn the woman of adultery, he was expressing that God ignores those who judge others.


Summary:

Don't project hate, but propagate love.

Control you tongue and you would a beautiful day every day.

We can act like Jesus. We can recognize when people do things wrong, we are not naïve, but we shouldn't condemn them.

This is my attitude, 'I wouldn't have known all this I know if God didn't help me.’

Be thankful for this opportunity to know something of God. Don't be angry at those who don't know the word, instead pray for them. "
