Perseverance

For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name in that ye have ministered to the saints and do minister. And we desire that everyone of you do shew the same diligence to full assurance of hope unto the end. Hebrew 6;10,11
An effective teacher should be steadfast and diligence to the full, practice more of encouragement, use powerful words in and out of the classroom, motivates your students, acknowledge every little step they make towards success and celebrate them. Make every little effort a big deal and tell them your proud of them,kids feels better when they observe that their teachers are proud of them. They become proud of themselves, that show that there is an effective teacher on board. When an effective teacher instill confidence to the students despite the condition, that child can never feel less or worthless.
In this ministry for a minister to be rewarded, the minister must be steadfast, ready to tolerate, humbly and show love and care. without such characteristics, you are not complete, before taking up this ministry, they should be serious thought about who you are, asks yourself some questions.. like
I’m Patient, can I tolerate children, can I accept others? Answer the question, then you can now proceed.
My lesson on perseverance
When I remember my first year of teaching, I always remember one boy and a girl with severe behaviour challenges on a daily basis this boy will cried, no other teacher will be able to receive this boy from the gate,he hit everyone and roll on the floor as he is crying, he was the most challenging student I ‘ve ever had, but he was also the students, I learned the most from, as a first year teacher, I struggled to know how to support this boy while meeting the needs of the rest of my students’ try everything I could think of to help him succeed in my class, I tried sending him out of the classroom, not the solution, even when my attention is needed in the office, he will clab my dress or he ran out of the classroom with cried, other teachers will tried stopping him, I tried sending him to another teacher, having her act as a special helper, none of these approaches work, then I decided to invite God and I also work on our relationship, I decided to bring him more closer to me and show him unconditional love, I needed him to know that I would spend special time with him no matter what, I couldn’t leave him when he misbehaved and I wouldn’t give up on him, through prayers and building a relationship built on love and trust, I was able to slowly guide him towards positive behaviour, I had finally arrived at a workable strategy.
