To know God, you need to
1. Be filled with the Holy ghost Eph 5:15-18, John 15:26

I once delivered a training on 'Emotional Intelligence' recently and you would come to agree with me on the need to be less concerned about certain communication loopholes in life.
You make of your IQ to get a job in form of expertise, skills, academic prowess etc but you need EI or EQ not only to keep your job or contract but also to make successful progress in it.
EI has 4 key domains:
1.Self awareness: having deep understanding of your emotions, strengths/weaknesses & honestly self assess them.
2.Self management: controlling & regulating one's emotions, being calm & focused when things don't go as planned.
3. Social awareness: empathy & ability to consider others in decision making
4. Relationship management: ability to communicate, influence, collaborate & work well with people.
We have more ability to change our EI than IQ.
Triggers of emotions are People, Places or environments , Times/seasons, Moods. Depending on which category we find ourselves at every point in time determines our outbursts. Amygdala is a part of the brain finction that regulates emotions & impulse control, it determines our external behaviour of sadness, happiness, anger, frustration. But it all depends on the data signal we send to it for processing and will release the corresponding emotions accordingly. Hence, once we have understanding of the way EI works we will have less conflict & will always know when to walk away from potential conflicts or respond to a faulty communication. This understanding has helped me in managing faulty communication & relationship chain. EI helps to predict outcomes of incident, build healthy relationships & presents opportunities for leadership position or growth.

RHEMA, A MUST READ

God's word in Genesis 3:14-19 describes man as a dust or a product of dust (ground). So, man is a dust(in his natural state). Also, the same word says the serpent is satan. God cursed the serpent to feed on dust. Serpent (satan) must eat dust (man).

If you're a man (dust), then you're automatically qualified by natural birth to be satan's natural food. Many generations both past and present, have been meals for satan in his realm (kingdom of darkness) .

But by virtue of the new birth enabled by the Spirit, water and fire you're translated into the kingdom of light, which is God's supernatural realm. If you belong to this supernatural realm, you're no more a favourite food for the devil. Followers of Christ have been redeemed and translated like gods - Psalm 82:6.

If you agree to this piece, why not give your Life to Jesus, the son of Almighty God - John 3:16.

Jesus Christ is Lord.
