H625L Speaking
|
God made man with a mouth so that man could speak; this makes man different from the animals. Because we have been created with the ability to communicate through words, we need to be careful with the words we use. Man can use his mouth for praying, praising, thanking God and speaking to others about God. Our mouth should be used for speaking these things, instead of negative things. |

H626L Listening
|
God made man with ears for listening. We should be careful in whom and what we choose to listen to. It is important to be one who can listen accurately to instructions and follow them, especially to God’s word. |

H627L
Genuine (True)
|
A person who is genuine does not hide any wrongdoing. They do not pretend to be something they are not, even if others may not accept them for who they are. We need to be genuine in the way we live and speak with others. To be genuine is to be true or real and to not do anything with pretense. |

H628L
Not Rebellious
|
To not be rebellious is to obey and not go against what we are told to do. We should obey our parents and the authorities because they are given to us by God. Having a healthy fear of God helps us to be not rebellious. |

H629L Humble
|
Humble people are not proud and do not boast about their attainments. They are willing to follow and learn from others and also, to help others. They do not think more highly of themselves than of others. A humble person does not rank himself or herself higher than others. |

Repenting
|
To repent (to be sorry) is to accept that something you have done is wrong. When we do something wrong, we should apologise and not be stubborn about it. We should repent for improper thoughts and intentions of our heart. |

Team 3 | H631L
Generous |
To be generous is to be giving and kind. We do it cheerfully! We should earnestly desire to give to others, not desiring to receive from others. The way God’s people handle possessions is to give and not to hoard. |
5 Nov | Team 4 | H632L
Not Jealous
|
To be jealous is to feel envious of others because of what they have or have achieved – we may feel resentful of another’s success. We should not be jealous when someone gets more attention than us or is better than us at something. Inward jealousy may lead to evil action. We should deal with every jealous feeling we have towards others. |
12 Nov | Team 1 | H633L
Compassionate
|
To be compassionate is to understand how another person feels and to show concern for that person. God is compassionate toward us in His love, and we need to have compassion for others. |
