PERSONALITY
Matthew 16:13-20
Devotional Verse:- “Simon Peter answered and said, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God."” (V. 16)
When you observe people, you will discover that people look unique in the way they behave. This is because God made all the people on earth to be uniquely different. A research said, only 10 out of 2.4 billion can look closely like you. This simply means you are uniquely made. Your personality is just so uniquely different. Understanding this will make you identify the areas you can best serve.
We saw among the disciples of Jesus the personality trait of Peter. He will always be the first to talk. This must be that he has a strong talking personality. We can see this displayed in various places in the scripture (Luke 9:33; Matthew 16:21-23; John 21:2-3). Everyone is made with different personalities and this point to where we can best serve. There are four major personality traits you need to know. The first of them is sanguine, like Peter. They enjoy talking and creating humor. The second is choleric. They are called natural leader. They love to dictate what others in the group will do and impose their ideas sometimes. The third is phlegmatic. They love to keep to themselves and think deep over matters. The forth is melancholy. They love to work and not easily fed up working.
Each person may have two or more of such traits manifesting in them; One from the father and the other from the mother. So, discover your major and minor personality. This will help you to know where you can best serve. This will also help you in knowing the reason people behave the way they do. Give yourself to learning more about people's personality and you will be able to understand with people, in relationship or in team work. Peace!
PRAYER: Lord, reveal my personality to me
