BACKGROUND
Proverbs 22:1-6
Devotional:- “Train
up a child in the way he should go, And when he is old he will not depart from
it” (V. 6)
Everyone
grows up from a background. Our background is the nature and the behavioral
attitude of people we grew up with. Our background is the lifestyle of our
parents and our relations. This goes a long way to affect our beliefs and our
concepts of life. It registers in our mind permanently as what we belief that
life should look like. Our background often becomes so difficult to change
because they are what we are introduced to in our early learning years.
The
background nature of Joseph kept reflecting even in Egypt. Our background
becomes what other people in relationship will have to manage to have a good
relationship. The background flow out in life with us and that is why people
say charity begins at home. Some people’s background makes them traders, others
partying, others well disciplined, some academics etc. Some people have such
terrible background that often stands against their progress in life. Faulty
background could stand as self-limiting factor in life.
The moment
you notice a background behavior is negatively affecting your life, please be
willing to change. It is all about forming contrary habits. This is possible by
forming an opposite habit and practicing them repeatedly for 21 days over.
Whoever desires to change a man’s background should be patience to explain with
understanding about the fault in the background. It will gradually reveal to us
a better concept of life. That is when people will agree to change their habit
for a better relationship. Peace.
PRAYER:
Lord, help me to be able to change for better.

YEARS MENTAL FORMATION OFTEN TEND TO STAY FOREVER”
