Responsibility is the ability to respond to life. It’s one of the greatest gifts that GOD has given you.

Why do I need to be a person of responsibility?

There are 3 values that are very prevalent today. 

1-The “rights mentality” - I have my rights and that’s all I’m interested in.

2-The “victim mentality” - Victim mentality says ”none of this is my fault. In fact, its your fault, my troubles are all your fault. 

3-The “entitlement mentality" - I deserve it! The world owes me a living. 

Why Live Responsibly?

1-Because God is Watching My Life!

God sees it all. God is going to judge us one day and evaluate our lives on how did we live.

UNDERSTAND THIS / Life is a Test of Responsibility!

2-Because Others Are Affected By My Life!

None of us live our lives to ourselves alone. We are interdependent on each other.

Every decision you make affects somebody else-even the secret ones. It changes you and that affects how you deal with others.

3-I Need to be Responsible Because God Rewards It!

One of the ways God rewards us when we are responsible is He gives us greater responsibility.

How Can I Be More Responsible?

1-By Saving Money!

2-By Controlling My Reactions!

3-By Guarding My Mind!

4-By Admitting My Mistakes!

Grace every day is enough for us. It holds us accountable to Him on a daily basis.
