TOPIC: TREAT PEOPLE THE RIGHT WAY

TEXT: "Be courteous that you may inherit a blessing" (1Peter3:9NKJV)

Common courtesy is fast becoming a scarce commodity in our society and even among Christians. The Bible made us realize that courtesy is one of the keys to the blessing and also positions us for divine help.

Sometimes we don’t know how to go about pleasing God and getting blessed. Preachers have made it a lot complicated by teaching us to believe that 'tithing' is the only path to the blessing. No, practicing courtesy also can give you access to God's blessing. The prophet Micah simplifies it for us: 'what does the Lord require of you but to love kindness'(Micah 6:8NAS). Below are ten common courtesies you should work on every day, and teach our children. After all if they don’t learn courtesy from us where else will they learn it? (1) Go out of your way to speak to people. Pleasant words are healing ( Pro 16:24 NIV) (2) Try to remember people's names it shows you value them (3)Smile, it increases your ' face value' (4) Be friendly and helpful, if you do people will return it (5) Show genuine interest in people, you can find something good in almost everybody if you try ( 6)  Be generous with your praise and be courteous with your criticism (7) Be slow to Judge, there are three sides to every story, your side, their side, and the right side. (8) Instead of ' using' others serve them: by love, serve one another ( Gal 5:13). (9) Start trusting people, it builds lasting relationship (10) Be humble.
Courtesy does two things: a) It speaks well of your parents, ' Live so that people will...praise your father'   (Matthew 5:16 NVC). b) It determines your level of blessing. ‘Be courteous...so that you may inherit a blessing
