EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE

EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE

Scripture Reading: Proverbs 16:27-33

Devotional:- “He who is slow to anger is better than the mighty, And he who rules his spirit than he who takes a city” (V. 32). 

    It is discovered that most of the people who succeed in this world are more of emotional intelligence than people with intellectual quotient (IQ). In other word, man by nature need to be able to first manage his own emotion. People are more prone to succeed in life when they have control over their emotion. That is why, they have the ability to be calm and be themselves, no matter what.

Emotional intelligence is the ability to reorganize our own feelings and that of others in other to manage ourselves and our relationship. A person, who identifies, understands and responds to emotions with calm and collective reasons and empathy will do better in anything he does than a man with great IQ. Emotional intelligence helps us to have self-control, self-motivated, self-discipline and delay gratification.

To be emotionally intelligent is to know your own emotional strength or weaknesses and focus on your strength (2 Corinthians 12:7-9). It involves managing your emotion with understanding when others behave to you. Be self-motivated when people and situation put you down. Realize why people do what they do and empathize with them. React to people with this act of understanding. This will go a long way to help you build relationship with many people. This will help you be a help and solution to many as a vessel unto honour. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, help me to be mature with my emotion

“IF YOU ARE NOT AT PEACE WITH YOURSELF, YOU CANNOT BE WITH OTHERS”
