What is Initiative?
Recognizing and doing what needs to be done before I am asked to do it.
It's related to the motivational gift of Ruling Scripture Text: "Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good." - Romans 12:21 Some of the Attributes: Taking steps to seek after God with our whole heart. Making the best use of opportunities to witness. Assuming responsibility for the physical and spiritual encouragement of those around us. Questions to ask yourself: 1. Do you wait to be told to do something that you know needs to be done? 2. Do you introduce yourself to visitors at your church or wait to be introduced by someone else? 3. When was the last time you took advantage of an opportunity to explain the Gospel to someone? Projects and Bible Study Questions to help instill this quality: Tell about a character in the Bible who demonstrated initiative. How did Jesus illustrate initiative in His life? Make a point to practice initiative in each of the cases mentioned under "Questions." |
