I walk by faith, each step by faith...

today's service was great. leartn e 10 characteristics of a BIG person (BIG on e inside):

1. Big people are GENEROUS people.
-in action and thought

2. Big people are ACCEPTING of DIFFERENCES.
-non petty.
-e Word doesnt have any restrictions on culture, style, etc. Its is crystal clear.

3. Big people FORGIVE and FORGET easily.
-most ppl can forgive but cant forget.

4. Big people EMPOWER others to be SUCCESSFUL
-they are secure in who they are. Jesus told His disciples that they are going to do GREATER works than He.

5. Big people don't try to be BIG PEOPLE.
-Jesus was e biggest/greatest, yet He was humbled to the point of washing His disciples' feet.
-As they are secure in who they are in God, they are not afraid to lose face.
-They are confident.
-They serve.

6. Big poeple treat LITTLE people WELL.
-they show respect to people and love them despite differences.

7. Big people LISTEN.
-willing to seek counsel from elders, leaders, etc
-willing to listen to the needs and concerns of others.

8. Big people HONOR LEADERSHIP and GUIDANCE.
-always willing to upgrade themselves for the good of others.
-we are blessed to be a blessing.

9. Big people respect MANNERS and SPATIALITY.
-manners and respect is part of the Kingdom.
-we are equal redemptively, but not structurally. that means, by Jesus' death on e cross, we are made equal and righteous before the Lord, but that does not mean we are equal with others around us for example, a master is not equal to a servant, a worshipper is not equal to a ministry leader or a cel grp member, to his/her cel grp leader.

*SPATIALITY is to know your boundaries and knowing how to approximate your distance/'space' with others.
-we don't become too familiar with others, esp. people of authority. for example, we do not walk to PM Lee during a meeting and put ur arms round him and say, "Hello! Buddy!", etc.
-having good spatiality is when a person is able to tell if he/she is 'crossing the line' or not.
-know ur boundaries!

10. Big people have BIG CAPACITY.
-God is so big even the universe and the heavens cannot contain Him, yet how do we place such a big God is a small small space called out hearts?
-the solution is to think bigger! have a bigger heart to contain all the dreams and visions of God in ur life.
-the giants in ur life will nv go away, the solution is to be BIGGER than e giants in ur life.
-every God-plan is always BIG. God did not just call Abraham to be His friend, He called him to be a father of many nations, where his descendants will b like e sands of e seashore and e stars in e sky.
-when we think like God, and allow ourselves to let go and let God, our dreams are able to be bigger than what we can even imagine. 'for He is able to do exceedingly, abundantly, above all tt we can ask or imagine, ACCORDING to the power tt is at work within us.'
-not only are big people successful in the world and impacting lives, wealthy, knowledgeable, good relationships/families, etc...yet they still have time and are passionate for the Lord. dun be people who cannot walk and chew gum, but be someone who can be a salt of the earth and the light of e world! =)
