Do #ReadRestRelaxAndReflect on Nike Adeyemi's compiled tweets below. God bless.
1. Thank you for inviting me on the program, I trust God to bless everyone following this thread. #ListenUpNg @KemiOdutayo
2. This is an important topic as it speaks to the core of our calling as believers to impact the world for good. #ListenUpNg @KemiOdutayo
3. An asset by definition is a useful or valuable quality, person, or thing. It is an advantage or resource. #ListenUpNg @KemiOdutayo
4. An asset in dis context is a person dat delivers value in whicheva capacity they find thmselves,in a relatnship. #ListenUpNg @KemiOdutayo
5. Assets proactively seek out ways to bless, enrich, & add value to the lives those in their sphere of influence. #ListenUpNg @KemiOdutayo
6. Acts 10:38 says Jesus went about doing good and was known for that. That's an asset! #ListenUpNg @KemiOdutayo
7. That's the life God has called us to as believers, doing good wherever we go and wherever we find ourselves #ListenUpNg @KemiOdutayo
8. On the other hand, lets define what/who a liability is so we can compare and contrast as we go along. #ListenUpNg @KemiOdutayo
9. In this context, a liability is a someone that is a hindrance, whose presence puts others at a disadvantage #ListenUpNg @KemiOdutayo
10. A liability is someone from whom no real value is enjoyed. Liabilities rarely add any value #ListenUpNg @KemiOdutayo
11. A liability is a consistent taker with no intentions of giving back. Liabilities have an entitlement mentality #ListenUpNg @KemiOdutayo
12. So, we have established a word by which we can differentiate between assets and liabilities – VALUE! #ListenUpNg @KemiOdutayo
13. Life is give and take! The proportion to which you give and take determines where you fall. #ListenUpNg @KemiOdutayo
14. Assets give more than they take, Liabilities take more than they give!#ListenUpNg @KemiOdutayo
15. Now that the distinction has been made, let us get a little more practical.#ListenUpNg @KemiOdutayo
16. We all operate in diff. spheres of influence. We are children, parents, workers, bosses, wives, husbands.... #ListenUpNg @KemiOdutayo
17. In all, there are general principles we need to follow to excel as an asset in all these spheres. #ListenUpNg @KemiOdutayo
18. First is to walk in love! Galatians 5:14 says all the requirements God has of us is fulfilled in the word LOVE! #ListenUpNg @KemiOdutayo
19. You cannot walk in love and be a liability. Love gives! Love finds ways to better the lives of those around. #ListenUpNg @KemiOdutayo
20. A major character trait of a liability is selfishness, the me-first mentality. Love is the cure. #ListenUpNg @KemiOdutayo
21. Another is consistency. There is so much mistrust and unfaithfulness in homes, workplaces and even in d church #ListenUpNg @KemiOdutayo
22. Assets don't make commitments lightly, but when they do, they follow through no matter what. #ListenUpNg @KemiOdutayo
23. An asset takes his/her commitment to God, spouse, kids, job very seriously and maintains trust at all costs. #ListenUpNg @KemiOdutayo
24. Liabilities on the other hand are inconsistent and lack staying power.#ListenUpNg @KemiOdutayo
25. 3rd trait of assets is problem-solving skills. Assets seek out ways to solve problems for people around them. #ListenUpNg @KemiOdutayo
26. They do not dwell on the problem longer than necessary, rather they seek out and proffer creative solutions. #ListenUpNg @KemiOdutayo
27. Liabilities can't see beyond the problem and give no thought to a solution. They are pessimists and nay-sayers. #ListenUpNg @KemiOdutayo
Solve problems for your spouse don't create more, as an asset help your child to be be #ListenUpNg @KemiOdutayo
28. Fourth trait of an asset, they maintain a positive attitude thru whatevacircumstance they may find themselves. #ListenUpNg @KemiOdutayo
29. Assets recognize that tough times do not last forever, and so they maintain their peace through storms. #ListenUpNg @KemiOdutayo
30. Liabilities tend to give-up at the slightest sign of trouble. They find it hard to see beyond the storm. #ListenUpNg @KemiOdutayo
31. Assets depend on God for help and such are assured of triumph over the situation. #ListenUpNg @KemiOdutayo
32. Fifth trait of an asset is that they are team players and work well with others to achieve common goals. #ListenUpNg @KemiOdutayo
33. At home, an asset consults and seek the approval of spouse and other stakeholders when making major decisions #ListenUpNg @KemiOdutayo
34. Liabilities on the other hand are impulsive and dnt work well others either in a team at work or in the home. #ListenUpNg @KemiOdutayo

37. Don't waste time and resources on fruitless pursuits at the expense other important tasks or relationships #ListenUpNg @KemiOdutayo

46. It is near impossible to exhibit these traits of an asset without the help of the Holy Spirit in our lives #ListenUpNg @KemiOdutayo
