TOPIC: WHY MUST I TAKE PERSONAL
RESPONSIBILITY?
SCRIPTURE:
"I must work the works of him that sent me, while it
is day: the night cometh, when no man can work."
John 9:4 (NIV).
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: You take personal
responsibility because no one can help you like
yourself, and no one can encourage you like you.
Personal responsibility is a critical requirement for progress in life.
Jesus Christ demonstrated this in
John 9:4 when He declared: I must work the works of Him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.
Notice the words: I must work the works…
This statement highlights personal responsibility.
That is why you must make up your mind to do
whatever it takes for your life to change.
Now, why is it important to take personal
responsibility?
It is important because no one can help you like
yourself, and no one can encourage you like you.
Others may genuinely care about you, but no one
can be as invested in your life as yourself.
Once you realize that no one can help you better than yourself, you will rise like a lion and take personal responsibility for your situation to change.
When you understand that no one else can do it
for you, you will stop waiting for people. You might have many relatives, but none of them is as
connected to your situation as you are. Even your
closest family members have their personal
concerns to deal with.
The best brother, sister, father, or mother you can
ever have is yourself. That is why you must rise
and take responsibility for the changes you desire in your life.
Beloved, stop waiting for others to do it for you; do it yourself. Arise and take personal responsibility today.
REMEMBER THIS: You take personal
responsibility because no one can help you like
yourself, and no one can encourage you like you.
