I was at a negotiation course yesterday and the instructor was talking about factors to consider in a negotiation and one of which is power. Power also includes charismatic power - meaning that there are some people who has the ability to draw people and he followed by asking " like city harvest, you know city harvest?" Then one of the participants answered:"ya, the one in suntec, u know u know" I was so tempted to correct her but did not. But at this time the instructor said" yaya" I was like "wat?!" and after that i think he meant NCC actually. He was trying to give an example that it is pastor's charisma that constantly draws the crowd to him over the years. My colleague then made a very good point saying "but how long can the charisma power last?" I agreed with him and i was thinking to myself that hey! ya, how long can a person's charisma last? Our church is able to grow to this size over the years is definitely not of pastor charisma alone. I don't deny some may find him interesting and funny, but over time when rubber meets the road, his jokes can't deliver you, it's all about Christ. He is the one who has the charisma and the ability to deliver you out of your situations. My God is a practical God and He knows what is best for me, He is not only charismatic, but He equipped me with the strength and the power to do what i do today and to be who I am today. I'm righteous definitely not by my own works but by the finished work on the cross.
He followed by telling us there are 4 types of people and everyone will definitely fall into one of the categories. Dominant is self explanatory, Influencial are friendly people who tries to make friends and not enemies, compliant people are inflexible and steady people are indecisive people (yes!, being indecisive is steady?!). I think i'm a mix of steady and influential..maybe more steady...literally..hee..but i know i'm Christ-like. As He is so am I in this world. That was what was going through my mind..very spiritual rite?..keke..
My righteousness, my holiness
Emmanuel living in me - yes He is my righteousness and lives in me! :)
