The very first day he was transferred to our Church, I said to myself this man must be a great man. I gave heed to all he instructed us then I said to my self this man must be my role model. I chose him as a role model not necessarily because of how wealthy he is but how he has disciplined himself all through his youth age and even hitherto he is still not wavering concerning certain instructions he has given to himself. He told me certain of his ambitions which got me perplexed even as an aged man. He told us how he has passed through life and how he has faced circumstances with boldness, segacity and tenacity,this really gave me more enthusiasm, alercrity and fascination in chosing him as my role model, he is really a man of his words with conscientious concern to everyone around him. You can never get out of him without gaining and grabbing something that will make you great in life . Besides when he saw that I was so interesting in his packaging, advices and disciplines, he picked interest on me and started giving me certain instructions that will expedite my career in life. So this gave me a whole lot of encouragement to stay put.
4.You will fail when you abandon God and face your business
5.never think to prosper when you aren't ready to bear the cross
6.the worse life is the life of some one who cannot take advice
Among these are many more which I didn't add from his teachings, but honestly I've not heard him reiterate a quote for more than a teaching.
Hola como estas, los pastores siempre en su mayoría son ejemplos a seguir porque esta dispuesto a ayudar y animar a uno a seguir los pasos de servir al Señor. Unas frases muy sabias las que expresa el pastor
@rosanita please am not familiar with this dialect
Hi sorry I forgot to use the translator wave like this, the pastors are always mostly examples to follow because they are willing to help and encourage one to follow the steps of serving the Lord. Some very wise phrases that the pastor expresses
Am grateful for translating this, really they are and am really fortunate to have a pastor as mine.
Hmmm, from his quotes i could say he is truly a man to emulate.
A man without alter is said to be defeated. This word is truly deep.
Thanks for sharing.
Really grateful @bright-obias, you really gained something. His words are really inspiring.
Yeah very deep
Having a spiritual direction as your role model is so wonderful. Thanks for sharing
Wow your write up about your Role Model is great and i love the collection of quotes you got from his teachings. They are very practical and applicable quotes. Nice one.

Nice one bro
@davchi (51) it's a great one you have here from a great role model
Nice writing skill.
Hope for the best.
My role model are my parents. Mr/Mrs Nubia.They got married at a very empty stage of their lives. They had virtually nothing but together, they worked so hard for their children. Everyday they used to tell us their stories of the things they went through as a young couple. I saw so much determination and discipline in their stories. The support they gave each other during the hard times and all.
They are a success story and a living testimony.
May father usually said "Every problem has an expiry date". With this statement, I knew that if I always worked hard and remained truthfully to my God, then no matter how hard things may seem, they will never last forever.
It is interesting to know your parents are your role mode, my parents are wonderful people but they are my primary role model and their impacts are wondeeful but i still had to have another
I really like the part played by your role model,both in discipline and determination. That's really great.
Hola como estas, que hermosa historia y creo que esa frase que decía tu padre es muy cierto los problemas no se prolongan se resuelven de una vez no duran para toda la vida
That's wonderful @craxywriter. Such a lovely role model. And u have them right inside your home. Please allow yourself to be influenced by them, no regrets at all. Thank you for such a nice entry
Our parents will always want the best for us. Interesting knowing your parents are your eole modeel
@craxywriter "Every problem had an expiry date" i love that quote from your father, it keep one strong, i love the part of discipline and determination. You have a real role model.
I am excited to know that who you set as your role models are not people from outside but people from within and particularly your parent.
They must really be good people.
I did like th fact that your parents are your source of inspiration. Its really motivating
There is nothing better than having parents you can look up to, great role models
It is pretty good that this contest is about role model. Indeed our lives are shaped by this people either we like it or not.
My role model is my mother in-law
I so much admired the way he raised her children. I was attracted to the family because they were all spiritually minded. And when I got closer, I discovered that the training they received especially from their mother really shaped them. I was later opportune to meet their mum who patiently answered all the questions I had for her then. I asked her, how were u able to raise such spiritually minded children. She gave birth to 5 boys and a girl. And all of them were well behaved. Respectful, lovely, cool headed, good morals and values. She told me that one thing that help them was that she never left her kids in the care of others no matter who you are. Even though she lived in a public apartment, she always lock the kids indoors whenever she wants to go out or else, go with them. As Jehovah's witnesses, they used the Bible to train their children and they tried as much as possible to live by example. It was not really easy for them but they made sure that they were the ones that influenced the kids not any other person in the neighbourhood. Even at the kingdom hall where as Jehovah's witnesses they go for worship, if her child disturbs, she or her husband will be the ones to take them out and calm them. Each school they enrol their children, they will ensure they get to know their teachers and visit them regularly, scheduled or not. Above all, she said that they relied on Jehovah, who gave them the children through prayer and study of the Bible.
I was thrilled. It was such a happy family. And I wished that I could raise my own children that way. I regularly asked questions and was always there to answer. Intact, what I know today as a wife and mother, I learnt them from her.
She will always tell me 'always instruct your children based on God's word the Bible, rely on God not any man through prayer, try to have good knowledge of the scriptures and apply what you read, be exemplary, then you will succeed as a parent. Keep friends out of your marriage and didn't envy anyone.
That really influenced me that my kids are Always home and indoors. We go out together and play together. All they need are indoors. That way, no worries about fighting or anything at all. I could remember a case in point when my kids were learning how to open and close the door when they return from school . I taught them how and to help them, I told them to to go anywhere if they can't open it, that I will come back soon. So they came back and couldn't open the door , they stayed outdoors but close to the door, my landlady came out and asked them to come to her house, they refused and the woman picked offence with me. Well I explained to her when I came back, that the kids were just following instructions. I so much appreciated the kids for such firm stand despite their age. Till date, the kids are really wonderful to be with, spiritually minded and respectful children. I know that they still have a long Way to go in life but am already impressed with what am seeing. All thanks to Jehovah for giving me such a wonderful mother in-law. Most people think that she gave birth to me.
Hola es admirable en verdad como tu suegra crió a sus hijos ya que los educo con principios y valores
You got a good shot having your mother inlaw as your role model. I must congratulate you for that because most ladies find it so difficult to get along with their mother inlaws. Kudos mama
Damn shes your mom joor,you guys look sibling on the last picture, more like the last child to where she is. Shes a great woman and a priceless jewel in the making. This truly
a gift from Jehovah.
@ngoenyi, its really pleasing to see that person that motivated you to become the person you are today. You are such a caring leader i believe she s a kind of you. You look more like her self haha, thanks for sharing.
You are just on point. That is trully whom she is. What a wonderful person to learn from.
of course, i am a witness to that fact. She is awesome. I appreciate her a lot. Thank you @benton3 for your nice comment
Exactly, ma'am @ngoenyi is one of a kind. Thankgod she impacted this to you
Am telling you @bright-obias. I don't know if I could have successfully handled my role as a wife and mother
Wow!! This amazing, your mother inlaw been your role model shows the relationship is enjoyed, unlike other daughter inlaws who wishes their mother inlaw death because of one reason or another;
I admire your mother inlaw and i pray to have a better mother inlaw too
@dlioness my dear ,truth should be told. I am happy about this contest that has really reminded me of the immense training i received from her. Thank you for your nice comment
Wow thats wonderful, you have a good role model, hope you are following her foot steps? Thats lovely picture with you and her.
Thank you @sambee for your nice comment. I am really trying my best to follow her footsteps. Even though i still make mistakes. I pray i do that fully.
Wow,breath taking
I am thrilled by the way you admire your mother-in-law. In Africa some people believe that mother's of their spouses are out to hate them but your case is absolutely different. I admire your admiration for her. She is indeed a powerful woman.
#onepercent #affable #cameroon.
Thank you so much my dear @craxywriter. I appreciate. It is good to appreciate good things no matter who it is
#steemitconnection #steemalive #onepercent #nigeria
@ngoenyi I can barely sight any difference between you and your mother inlaw she's beautiful and younger than I thought, honestly she looks more like your mom and I'm so impressed with the bond between the two of you. Having such a wonderful mother inlaw will always make you feel at ease in the family and free to relate with her.
Your children is another people I'll like to emulate, giving them such background will help them a long way and once it affects them now it'll always be part of them. Thanks for the good work Jehovah has used you and your mother inlaw to play in the life of your kids. Keep up the good work and Jehovah will see you through.
Thank you for your well detailed appreciate. Your comment shows that you read every line of that entry. Truly, responding to Jehovah's training is the right thing to irrespective of who he chooses to train u. We should all be willing to be molded by Jehovah through his organization and our brothers and sisters
I appreciate your response to my entry @iamdanny.

What an interesting contest , this is creativity at its peak , never thought of one bringing up this as a contest;
My role model is Mrs Funke Adejumo, she is the founder of agape christian minitries, got married to Mr felix Adejumo;
Actually , Mrs Funke Adejumo has not been the best in the women ministry but there is this attribute she possesses and that is honouring and been proud of her husband and also her efforts in been a help meet as the bible points to,
I dont know her family and has not asked how they live so i can know if she practices what she teaches or not but i believe that she will do likewise as she teaches others;
I have always had this desire to love and obey my husband and contribute to the welfare of the family and Mrs Adejumo has indeed built my spirit on that and has made me see the benefits of it;
As one of her quotes would be that "any woman whose total dependence is on his husband or any man is a colosal disgrace" this gave me the zeal of making it big in life from the small earnings,
She has indeed influenced me positively.
Another person i admire is Mercy Chinwo, the female music minister who sanged Jesus you love me too much ooo"
You role models are women of God. That is amazing. These woman usually portray some great personality and an aura of excellence. @dlioness soon you will be my own role model 😄😄
Esa persona que admira es una mujer virtuosa y tu debes ser también una gran mujer
your story about your role model is so torching @dlioness.its good to see one who choose her parent as role model,honestly speaking i really love that.Atleast you have see that money is not happiness although it contribute to it.What matter in life is love,trust and commitment.
Saben ella es única siempre con sus palabras motivadoras tu puedes, no te dejes vencer Dios siempre está contigo, ante cualquier dificultad ella está presente me acuerdo cuando no sabía qué carrera estudiar que me sentía frustrada ella llego con su mejor sonrisa y me dijo vas a estudiar esta carrera y me llevo hasta la universidad me hizo inscribir y estudie Licenciatura en Enfermería, luego el postgrado y cada meta que realizo es gracias a ella. Cuando decidí comenzar a dar clase en la universidad ella me apoyo.
Cuando comencé a realizar obras sociales ella fue la que me motivo y me apoyo, cada proyecto que tengo o algo que quiero realizar ella está allí presente con su palabras motivadoras.
Doy gracias a Dios que tengo a mi madre conmigo, y que es buena consejera hasta cuando estoy deprimida y cuando la pase mal por mi enfermedad inmunológica que me sentía deprimida que no quería ni salir ella me enseño que uno tiene que ser fuerte que yo debo dominar mi enfermedad no la enfermedad a mí. Y a pesar de que mi madre tiene un problema renal su fortaleza es admirable en todo momento no decae, ni se desanima siempre esta con un gran entusiasmo transmitiéndolo a sus hijas y demostrando el gran amor que siente por nosotros por eso ella es mi ejemplo a seguir en mi vida.
Hola amiga, que hermoso modelo y apoyo has tenido, y lo mas importante es que la has valorado y cuidado, Dios las bendiga a ambas.
Un abrazote para las dos.
Que hermoso lo de tu mamá a de ser muy sabia y a de conocer muy bien a sus hija. Y que la admires tanto habla muy bien de tu sabiduría. Que bueno que la tengas como tu amiga y tu consejera... Eres muy afortunada...
My Role Model is Rev. Ntia I Ntia
He is the President and founder of Full Life Christian Center, He is a philanthropist, a teacher of the gospel and an accountant by profession.
Rev. Ntia is not just a preacher, he is a man of integrity and high self esteem. Many of the things that has worked for me in life is because of the series of things i have learnt from him. Specifically what he is special to me because he is one man that beliefs that i do not need resources to get things done. Now example is how he got married to his wife Pst. Laurie Ntia at the age of 25, he said he didn't have anything and not even a good place to stay but he was well determined to be married at that age. Now where is wife comes from is quite distanced from him so on the day of his introduction, he said because there was not money, he had to go to his would be's house just himself and a few persons from his family because he could not afford transportation fair. So when he got to the road, the people he went with started asking him of the car that was taking them to Enugu and he said all he had to do was to break a cab and entered and told the cab man that they are going to Enugu but the man said he wasn't going to Enugu but till the man drove them to Enugu, the man didn't know and he went and came back without paying a dime for transportation. The reason i shared that is because of the kind of faith this man has which is what makes him very special to me. He doesn't take no for an answer and he has a fighting spirit and the spirit of excellence that he makes sure that all he does is super excellent.
His best quote is: The word is working in me, i have what God says i have, i do what God says i can do and i become who God says i will become because the word of God is working and it is working in me.
