True spiritual hunger is blessed, as it shows one is alive in Christ and follows the new birth. There are two types of righteousness: imputed, through Christ's perfect righteousness; and implanted, the inherent graces of the spirit. The document examines signs of spiritual hunger and lack thereof, and encourages developing an appetite for righteousness through avoiding hindrances and engaging in spiritual disciplines like prayer and enduring affliction.
This document discusses hungering and thirsting after righteousness. It begins by examining biblical passages about coming to God when thirsty and hungry. It then explores three kinds of spiritual thirst: the thirst of the empty soul, the dry soul, and the satisfied soul. Key points made include that righteousness is about having a right relationship with God and living as He intends, and that righteousness is possible through having the right heart orientation and seeking God's approval. The document argues that spiritual hunger is a sign of life, a gift from God, and that acting on hunger causes it to grow while ignoring it causes it to fade. It also notes that spiritual hunger works opposite to physical hunger, in that the more one is spiritually fed, the
1) The document discusses the importance of having a holy hunger and thirst for God. It argues that our spiritual hunger determines our spiritual health and that those without hunger may be spiritually dead, sick, or fat.
2) It examines what hunger means according to scripture and explains that hunger is a strong desire that, without fulfillment, could result in death.
3) The document outlines four promises for those who hunger for God's presence, including that God has a special place prepared for the hungry.

Personal development for spiritual efficacy in life and ministry leadershipmgtservice
1) Personal development is important for Christians to renew their minds, walk in God's abundant life, add value to others, live disciplined lives, and withstand negative influences.
2) Personal development covers spiritual, emotional, mental, social, and communication maturity and involves character building, attitudinal changes, and equipping oneself for life and ministry.
3) Lack of personal development can lead to stagnation, decay, incompetence, immaturity, and inability to minister effectively or lead others.
This document provides study notes on Christian personal development from the Pastoral Leadership Academy. It discusses why Christians should engage in self-development, defining it as allowing God to guide personal growth. The notes explain that while the world focuses on self, Christians should renew their mind and live transformed by God. Personal development helps Christians become disciplined warriors for God by focusing on God, others, and positive thinking. Key issues for Christian personal development are finding mentors, developing positive thinking through Scripture, and using affirmations to harness the power of one's words. The overall message is that personal development, when done with the right heart motives of pleasing God and serving others, can help Christians become all God created them to be.
This document discusses the importance of personal development for Christian leaders. It provides objectives for personal development such as helping individuals identify skills needed to set life and ministry goals, make positive decisions, and experience personal and spiritual growth. It discusses developing the self through increasing self-awareness and setting goals. A story is provided about a couple who learned English to succeed in their new community, showing how Christians must develop themselves. Reasons for personal development and models for development are explained.

2. Introduction
Despite many people’s insistence that
retirement and old age are “a long way
off”, they still have a way of showing
up whether you’re prepared for them or
not. Every financial planner has likely
heard a multitude of reasons and
excuses why postponing retirement
planning and estate planning is a good
idea, but going into that part of life
unprepared can make it very difficult.

6. What is Retirement
Planning?:
Retirement planning refers to creating a
financial plan for yourself for after you’ve
reached retirement age. Obviously, once
you’ve retired from the workforce you no
longer have a full time income, so planning
for that eventuality when you’re younger
will help with the transition. When done
properly, retirement planning will leave you
with enough money to pay your bills and
continue your lifestyle into your golden
years.September 14, 2014 6

“Ability to meet the 3
basic needs of food,
clothing and shelter with
no debt, and your income
is greater than your
expenditure.” Sept

Independence?
“This is Financial Freedom plus ability
to do what you plan to do financially
without any restrictions due to work
or any other consideration.
Here your money works for you, and
you don’t work for money anymore
till you die, and many people,
families and life and living and

10. STORY TIME
Ant and grasshopper
This is the story of a farsighted ant and a lazy
grasshopper. The grasshopper and the ant were
good friends living in the jungle together. In the
season of spring, the ant was working hard,
stock-piling food for the rainy season. The
grasshopper was wasting time by wandering on
trees and was also advising the ant not to do
any hard work in the spring season, saying that
this is the time to enjoy yourself. The ant replied
that she was doing hard work to prepare for the
rainy season.
At the time of the rains, the ant does not have to
worry because she has planned for the rainy
days. But the poor grasshopper had to get wet
because he had not planned for the rainy days.
Today, the ant’s savings will help to overcome
the times of crisis.
WHAT DO YOU LEARN FROM THE STORY?

12. Brainstorm with participants:
What financial planning is in
brief?
Setting goals;
Making conscious decisions about
the use of time and resources;
Preparing for the future; trying
to decide the best choice
between several options;
Sacrificing a little bit now to gain
more later.September 14, 2014 12

The ant is a good animal to think about as a
long-term planner. She regularly stores more
food than she consumes. She does this regularly
and often, not at the last minute, so that she can
build up wealth over time.
Planning involves making choices. When you plan
for tomorrow, you will most likely have to give
up something today. When your resources are
limited, you must choose between different
things. Sometimes these choices are hard. In the
long run, good choices will make for a happier,
more secure life.
14. Financial Planning Why It’s
Important:
What causes some people to feel
financially secure and others not?
Conditions that promote financial well
being include:
Income to meet current needs
Savings to meet financial emergencies
Insurance to cover major risks (health, life,
property and disability insurance)
Savings and investment programs to meet
future goals.

15. The Financial Planning
Process: Develop a plan
Navigating competently through the life
stages of education , employment or
career , marriage , home ownership ,
parenting , retirement and estate
planning -- requires knowledge acquired through
continual self-education. The conscious management of
your financial circumstances, will enable you to anticipate
opportunities and prepare for contingencies. This approach
should give you better choices when life's inevitable events,
adverse or otherwise, occur.

it”. - Peter DruckerSeptember 14, 2014 17

stability
If investing is the door to a secure financial
future, saving is the key to that door.
Without unlocking it, the door cannot open,
meaning that entry will fail.
Saving is at the root of investment, as it is
only the earnings that are saved that can be
invested.
The short flowchart to financial stability can
easily be expressed as earnings -> savings -
> investments -> prosperity.
Many factors combine to truncate that flow
for a lot of people.

investment to show for that minimal
thought.

Investment Strategy
The most common starting point on
the road to financial security.
Passive investing includes all the
basics of sound personal financial
planning: own your own home, fund
tax deferred retirement plans, asset
allocation, and save at least 10% of
earnings.

Investor
Active investors build on the foundation
of the passive investor by taking the
process to the next level and treating
their wealth as their business.
The primary difference between active and
passive investors is the active investor not

returns, but he also gains a value-added
return stream based on skill – two sources
of return in one investment.

into a fixed deposit to earn more interest. When
his child got sick he had savings to withdraw to buy
medicine. He is also saving for his daughter’s
