· Personality: This embraces mood, attitude and opinions and is
most clearly expressed in interactions with other people. It includes
behavioral characteristics both inherent and acquired that
distinguish one person from another and that can be observed in
people's relation to the environment and to social groups. Some
people have an inherent attitude that best describes them or their
family; it becomes part of their life which can be positive or
negative. For instance, they refer to some families as being
promiscuous thereby they don't stay in a marriage, He is very
arrogant that his life, She is hot-tempered or They are very lovely,
she is so honest etc. all these are one personality. What are you
known for, it speaks for us, it goes ahead of us. Like the Nazirite
among the ancient Hebrews, a sacred person whose separation was
most commonly distinguished by his uncut hair, and his abstinence
from wine.(Jeremiah 35 : 1 – 16; Judges 16 :17; 13:5;Numbers 6 :5)
· Courage: This is the mental or moral strength to venture,
persevere and withstand danger, fear or difficulty or to resist
opposition, danger or hardship without summiting to them or
endangering their soul. No wonder GOD commanded Joshua after
the death of Moses to be courageous (Joshua 1:6 - 7) ''Be strong
and courageous, because you will lead these people to inherit the
land I swore to their ancestors to give them''. We have pampered
our children so much that the spirit of fear has dominion over them.
They can't stand or withstand anything forgetting that this life is not
the bed of roses and we can't stay with them forever. A child will be
facing terrible things outside just because of simple threats they
can't talk; they cannot express themselves and become victims of
circumstances.
