RECOGNITION OF THE DOMINANT WEAKNESS OF THOSE YOU HAVE CHOSEN TO TRUST
There is a saying that no man is an island, that's really true. We need each other to survive.
Weakness is contagious. Conduct allowed becomes conduct approved.
You cannot afford to ignore the weakness of those near you.
There is a popular story in the bible about jonah a rebellious preacher. He paid the fare on a ship going to a different destination than God had commanded.
The ship almost capsized. The wrath of God had been stirred.
Those who permitted his presence were exposed to the same wrath and judgement.
When they threw jonah over board,the consequences of his rebellion were not felt any longer.
You see you do not have to be jonah for the storm to affect your life.
It is important that you know the weakness of those nearest you; your mate,your children,your friends,even those that work with you.
Important suggestions when you recognize
the dominant weakness of those you love
1)Do not permit your imagination or suspicious nature to magnify their weakness more than what it really is.
2)Intercede for that person to God:jesus prayed for peter and the result came.prayer works. Ask the holy spirit to give you the words that will properly address the problem
3)Talk directly to the person about their weakness:if they confess it,you have created a prayer partner and possible friend. If they rebel you have expose them as a fool
4)Find the testimonies of over comers who have perfected that same weakness in their lives. purchase the book or share the testimony with your friend.
5)keep the confidentiality of their weakness forever between you and God:
it is the glory of a king to conceal a matter. Discretion is honourable.
6)Evaluate your own personal weakness during this season and permit humility to be produced because of it:
when we discern the weakness of others,it is an appropriate time to address the weakness within ourselves
7)Depend on God to get involved:
There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man. But God is faithful who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able,but will with the temptation also make a way to escape that ye maybe to bear it.
Recognition of the dominant weakness in those you love will reduce expectations and breathe longetivity and loyalty into the friendship.
