 *TOPIC: WATCH YOUR ATTITUDE*

” _Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus” Philippians 2:5._

 *MESSAGE*

Have you ever had to work on a project with someone who didn’t have a good attitude towards the task, or towards the tutor or manager who set the project? Even if they do their fair share of the work, it somehow makes the task seem harder. A bad attitude can negatively affect a kinds of things, like relationships, chances of getting a job, even chances of being promoted or being trusted with more responsibility.

Indeed, we all have moments when our attitude isn’t as good as it could be. But if we find we’re having more and more of those moments, we need to stop and have a self-check of our attitude. A person’s attitude is not set; it’s actually a choice and it is important we keep a good attitude.

Your attitude is more important than education, money, circumstances, failures, successes, what other people think or say or do. It’s more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It can make or break a company, a church or even a home. The  remarkable thing is we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we embrace for that day. We cannot change our past; we cannot change the fact that people act in a certain way; we cannot change the inevitable; but we can change our attitude.

When Paul writes, *”Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus”,* what he means is that ‘You must have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had’. Jesus always approached people with love, grace, acceptance, and a heart to serve rather than be served. Let us follow His example.

*ACTION POINT*

• If your attitude hasn’t been as good as it could be, start by praying that God should give you a Christlike attitude towards everyone you will meet today and always.
