Steps to Breaking the wrong
attitude
(1) Beckon on God’s Help
stopping or changing of bad
attitude is not as easy but with the
help of God changes can be made.
We can ask in prayer Matt 7:7-8.
Though God will not do all the
work, He expect us to take some
steps.
(2) Be committed to change
change does not come on its own
WHEN NOTING SEEMS TO BE
WORKING;
(3) Be specific
write the bad attitude you posses in
black and white and be as clear as
possible
(4) Be ready to substitute the
negative attitude
(5) Bring in an accountability
partner Eccl 4 vs 9-10.
(6) Be positive
Don’t quit until you break the
negative attitude. It may take
between two weeks and a year to
completely break a bad attitude.
BE POSITIVE
(7) By- pass defense mechanism
Others are doing it, it may be
wrong but you will do same if you
were in my shoes, pushing blames,
dodging the fact that the negative
attitude exits.
(8) Be “other people minded”
Phil 2 ;4
Conclusion
Your attitude should be the kind that
was shown us by Jesus Christ
Relationship is not optional in
ministry
Attitude is key in relationship
