WHO ARE YOU WHEN YOU WIN AND WHEN YOU LOSE? Try it

Your reaction to these two moments says a lot about you!

Who are you when you win? And who are you when you lose?
Reflect on your history of reactions to losses and victories. How do you react when you succeed, earn expected money, or win a dispute? Who are you when things don’t happen the way you would like? When you lose what you invested? When you lose something valuable? When you lose your job? When you don’t receive the promotion you expected?

Let’s suppose you dare to face your reactions without favouritism, without trying to improve your image in your own eyes.
In this case, you will have a more realistic figure about who you are.

A known fact in business management is that you must give one power if you want to know a person. It’s a fact.
Because some don’t let the victory change who they are; in fact, the person remains humble in the face of success and is indifferent if they lose.
But some people don’t know how to deal with money, power, fame, and subordinates. They do things that don’t match what’s righteous, and some people do not react well when they lose what they have (money, marriage, position, reputation, fame, followers). Therefore, this question is very pertinent to all of us.

The Lord Jesus reminded me of the end of the “The Lord’s Prayer”: “And do not lead us into temptation, But deliver us from the evil one. For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen” (Matthew 6:13).

If you have received power, that power comes from God. It’s borrowed. It’s not yours.
Unfortunately, many do not understand this, so when something is taken away, life ends because they have associated life with power, money, and fame, and all this is fleeting.

Paul said: “Not that I speak in regard to need, for I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content” (Philippians 4:11).

We see that people just want to know about the good part. For example, when people think of “The Lord’s prayer they think of “give us this day our daily bread”.
People are selective in choosing the Word, but God is not selective.
He can do all things. In other words, if I fail, I must thank God! Let Your will be done and deliver me from the evil one. Perhaps, you are upset for having lost something or thinking you are great for something (be careful, because you can lose it); you should do this “Lord’s Prayer” thinking about every word.

Reflect on this by following this message in full through the video above.
