TOPIC: BUILDING TRUST PART 1 AND 2
INSTRUCTOR: BARR. JAMES ESSIEN
The World is in crisis.The government has not done much to protect it's citizens. Europe is still in recession and facing stern austerity measures, as effort is made to get out of recession. there is war in Syria.people are dying from hunger in Congo,Sudan. there is so much violence and corruption round the world.
let's bring it home, here in Nigeria, there is a 69% increase in child abuse, more than 20 million women suffer from domestic violence. 2 in 4 students are bullied in our secondary schools. 50% of marriages in this country end in divorce.
mistrust is at the root of these chaos, people cannot be trusted. business have failed because of lack of Trust. a little boy once wrote the mum a poem saying:
my mum
my mum is loving and caring
she likes to buy lots of clothes
she always likes reading me to sleep
sometimes she keeps her promises
but the best thing about my mum is she is always there for me
from the above poem we can see that sometimes even parents fail to keep their promises. the little boy was once promised to be taken to the cinema to watch a movie, he kept expecting the mum to take him to the cinemas as was promised him by the mum. but she happened to forget and so didn't keep her promise. but the little boy kept it in mind.
WHAT IS TRUST?
you see , trust is so vital in every relationship, even God expects trust from us. God values relationships more than ministries. the foundation of any ministry is trust.
Trust is our own ability to to rely on God, a person, a group, an organization, a product to deliver an outcome. trust is the building block of any relationship. how do you fell when the things you trust do not come out/ well i feel hurt and disappointing. imagine how the little boy must have felt.
if you are sitting down on a chair, it because you trust the chair to support your body weight and keep you stable right?, i guess so. trust is like a plain sheet of paper if you crumpled it you can't get it perfectly straightened again.
whenever there is trust there is peace, but if you bridge trust in one area, you wont be trusted in others.
every relationship is built on trust, there are 3 things that make a relationship. these are:
NEED ----PROMISE---- EXPECTATION N-P-E
A need is to be met. promises are made, and expectation are to be fulfilled. if one is lacking in any of these 3 blocks, then trust is bridged. if trust is abridged in one area, you wont be trusted in others
in your relationships with people, how many times will i disappoint people before the stop trusting... ask yourself that question. are you trustworthy?
promises are not meant to be broken when made, there two kinds of promises : implicit and explicit. implicit is vocal. it is not written. Always let your yea be yea and your nay be nay. explicit on the other hand is written. we should always keep our promises as these form our trustworthiness.
with these in mind, let look at what are they expectations of people, seed royal of us:
1. change agent: we are the light of the world we should be the change we desire to see.
2. intercessor: we should pray for one another and the people we seek to lead
3. stand out to be different; set standards
4. a bridge between the older and younger generation of leaders
5 leaders where ever we go
our own expectation from seed royal includes
1. to be trained to be a leader
2. to be a resource center
3. to make us a better person
4. to be closer to the lord
5. acquire and develop skills to praise God
what Nigeria expects from us as seed royal
1.People of integrity
2. Ideas that can change the country
3. Teamwork
4. Good citizen
5. To be a law abiding citizen
6. Good managers of it's resources
7. Fulfilling all civic responsibility
8. Creativity
Negative expectations
Negative expectation is when people continue to fail you. you'll develop negative expectations. the evil in negative expectations is that we adjust ourselves to it. your attitude to a negative expectation can become bad when you adjust yourself to it. but you don't need negatives expectations as the person you right of today can become the chief corner stone tomorrow. people can change for good . Praise God.
