III"},"content":{"rendered":"Greetings to you, dear friends!\r\n\r\nFor several days now we have been talking about a very important topic \u2013 \u201cResponsibility as a Key to Success\u201d. For every one us it is important to be responsible. Life of a responsible person will be rewarding. God loves responsible people because He Himself is responsible. Our God keeps His Word. It says in the Bible:\r\n
\u00ab..for You (God) have magnified Your word above all Your name\u00bb\u00a0(Psalm 138:2b).<\/h6>\r\nWe are the children of God, created in the image and after the likeness of God. If our God takes responsibility for what He has said, He expects the same from us. Besides, He does not mean for us to do it on our own; He has sent to us the Helper, Teacher, Comforter and Advocate \u2013 the Holy Spirit to be with us at all times.\r\n\r\nWe have established that a responsible person:\r\n\r\n– does not forget what he has been told or assigned to do;\r\n\r\n– keeps his word and his promises;\r\n\r\n–\u00a0does not blame others for their mistakes, but tries to see his own deficiencies and eliminate them;\r\n\r\n– is organized, disciplined and diligent even when nobody watches him;\r\n\r\n– is trustworthy and reliable;\r\n\r\n– is faithful, loyal and honest.\r\n
    \r\n\t
  1. 6<\/strong>.\u00a0Besides, a responsible person can be trusted concerning the quality of his work.<\/strong><\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\nWhatever a responsible person does for others, he does it like for himself. There is practically no follow-up necessary.\r\n\r\nIf you are this type of a person you always do your best. We know that all young children are irresponsible. Responsibility is a quality of the mature. For example, a child may start doing something and never finish; you have to finish for them and sometimes even redo the whole thing.\r\n\r\nHave you ever told a 3-year-old to go wash by himself? The result will be wet feet, dry back, soapy hair etc. A child does not understand quality; that is why everything he does must be redone. If a child washes dishes, you have to wash them all over again. A responsible person not only does something; he finishes what he has started and guarantees good quality.\r\n\r\n \r\n
      \r\n\t
    1. A responsible person does not hide from problems, but solves them.<\/strong><\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\nSuch a person\u00a0does not flinch from his responsibilities using different circumstances as an excuse.\r\n
        \r\n\t
      1. A responsible person is ready to pay full price in order to reach the goal and complete the assignment.<\/strong><\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\nA responsible person does his best to reach the goal and to complete the task set before him or her. For this sake he is ready to work late and to get up early. We can see that in the life of Jesus.\r\n
        \u00abAnd when He had sent the multitudes away, He went up on the mountain by Himself to pray. Now when evening came, He was alone there. But the boat was now in the middle of the sea, tossed by the waves, for the wind was contrary. Now in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went to them, walking on the sea\u00bb\u00a0(Mathew, 14:23-25).<\/h6>\r\nHere we see that Jesus did not sleep on that night. Responsibility motivates a person to give everything he can give in order to reach the goal and complete the task.\r\n
        \u00abIn the meantime His disciples urged Him, saying, \u201cRabbi, eat.\u201d But He said to them, \u201cI have food to eat of which you do not know.\u201d Therefore the disciples said to one another, \u201cHas anyone brought Him anything to eat?\u201d Jesus said to them, \u201cMy food is to do the will of Him who sent Me, and to finish His work. Do you not say, \u2018There are still four months and then comes the harvest\u2019? Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields, for they are already white for harvest!\u201d\u00a0(John, 4:31-35).<\/h6>\r\n
        \u201cI must work the works of Him who sent Me while it is day; the night is coming when no one can work\u201d\u00a0(John, 9:4)<\/h6>\r\nWe see that Jesus not only gave all His energy to the fulfilment of God\u2019s will, but also wanted to see that it happens as soon as possible.\r\n\r\nApostle Paul also was responsible with his calling. He said,\r\n
        \u00a0\u201c..so that I may finish my race with joy, and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of the grace of God\u201d\u00a0(Acts, 20:24).<\/h6>\r\nWhat is your attitude towards your calling? How do you treat what God says to you through His Word? How do you spend the time given to you? How do you use the talents that have been bestowed upon you?\r\n\r\nSo many important questions we need not only to ask ourselves, but also answer.\r\n\r\nTomorrow we will talk about why people choose irresponsibility.\r\n\r\nGod bless you!\r\n\r\nPastor Rufus Ajiboye","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u00ab..for You (God) have magnified Your word above all Your name\u00bb (Psalm 138:2b).\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nWe are the children of God, created in the image and after the likeness of God.
