Your Primary was ‘The Beaver’, with your Secondary coming in as ‘The Retriever’, and here are the descriptions of your Personalities, and how they can be used for God

Beaver- Organized. Beavers think that there is a right way to do everything and they want to do it exactly that way. Beaver personalities are very creative. They desire to solve everything. Desire to take their time and do it right. Beavers do not like sudden changes. They need reassurance.

Strength: High standards, order, respect
Weakness: Unrealistic expectations of self & others, too perfect.
Limitation: Seeing the optimistic side of things, expressing flexibility

Golden Retriever- Good at making friends. Very loyal. Retriever personalities do not like big changes. They look for security. Can be very sensitive. Very caring. Has deep relationships, but usually only a couple of close friends. Wants to be loved by everyone. Looks for appreciation. Works best in a limited situation with a steady work pattern.

Strength: Accommodating, calm, affirming
Weakness: Indecisive, indifferent, unable to express emotional, too soft on other people
Limitation: Seeing the need to be more assertive, holding others accountable

[E]xperience

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

I was born and brought up in a christian orthodox background, my parents taught me the ways of the Lord as much as they could give, gave my life to Christ a couple of times while in high school but the land mark experience that I stopped coming out time and time again to give my life to Christ was during a student congress just after my high school in 2004 where I gave my life to Christ once and for all

Ministry Experience (Where I have served in the past, if applicable, including ChurchName, City/State, Position, Years Involved):

I was the Fellowship of Christain students (FCS) vice president in my high school, then I served as the Nigerian Christain medical and dental students (NCCMDS) 500/600L class pastor/coordinator during my medical school

List 3 Positive experiences from the past that made a big impact on who you are today:

Having parents who through their sacrifices gave me the opportunity to be educated and learned

Being introduced to personal development upon listening to the messages of Apostle Joshua Selman which gave me a broader perspective of life which the orthodox background I came from didn’t give me

Meeting people of like minds that challenge me to become a better person

List 3 Negative Experiences from your past that have helped to Shape me, but also have given you great compassion for others going through similar circumstances:

My elder brother was suicidal at some point but was delivered, I somewhat contributed to him getting to that point by not exposing some of his wrong deeds to our parents; after his deliverance, I don’t want to see someone in similar and try to do all I can to stop the person

I was temporarily hindered from doing sciences in my senior high school because I got a pass in mathematics, I proceeded with an undertaking and later represented my school in quiz competitions. I understood that someones present situation may not fully depict his potentials, give him/her a chance

I had low self esteem that some of my colleagues try to worsen, i resented been introverted and desired to be somewhat inbetween and introvert and extrovert in another life if given the chance. Nobody reassured me and taught me to accept myself and my uniqueness, I saw other peoples strenghts and wanted to be like them until I understood that everyone has challenges and God in His wisdom made us uniquely different to rightly fill up certain roles and duties and I began to accept myself. Young folks need to be reassured and taught to love who they are and to develop themselves
