MEMORISE: Let all things be done decently and in order. 1 Corinthians 14:40
READ: Titus 3:1-2
1 Put them in mind to be subject to principalities and powers, to obey magistrates, to be ready to every good work,
2 To speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, but gentle, shewing all meekness unto all men.
MESSAGE:
These days, many young people lack basic social etiquette. If you are a genuine child of God, however, you will act accordingly and make Him proud wherever you find yourself. Apart from portraying you as a true representative of Jesus on earth, imbibing good manners will also earn you the admiration of people. The following are some basic manners you should imbibe as a child of God:
- Do not text, use social media, or answer calls while speaking with someone. If you need to receive a call, politely excuse yourself.
- Say ‘please’ and ‘thank you’ often.
- Apologise when you do something
- Seek permission from the owner of an item before using it.
- Wait your turn to speak in a conversation; don’t interrupt.
- Do not scroll through a person’s phone without permission.
- Always open the door for anyone who is coming after you, be it male or female.
- Cough into your elbow and cover your mouth when you sneeze.
- When sitting next to someone, do not look into the person’s phone or book.
Always mind your business. - Always leave restrooms in good conditions after using them.
- Always chew with your mouth closed.
KEY POINT: Good manners portray you as a child of God.
