Personal Development
Matthew 22:37-39
• Personal Development begins with the love for God.
• The key is ALL, not half, but all.
• Those who love God unreservedly will develop personally
• If you love you will obey
• The importance of self development is that it puts us in a position to meet needs!
The use of Time

• We all have the same amount of time
• We are called to redeem/ buy back time
• Some people are too busy doing nothing that they don’t have time for
anything
• We have 6 days to work and one day to rest, there is no room for slacking or
laziness in the Word of God.
