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

Lion- This personality likes to lead. The lion is good at making decisions and is very goal-oriented. They enjoy challenges, difficult assignments, and opportunity for advancement. Because lions are thinking of the goal, they can step on people to reach it. Lions can be very aggressive and competitive. Lions must learn not to be too bossy or to take charge in other’s affairs.

Strength: Goal-oriented, strong, direct
Weakness: Argumentative, too dictatorial
Limitation: Doesn’t understand that directness can hurt others, hard time expressing grace

Otter- Otters are very social creature. Otter personalities love people. They enjoys being popular and influencing and motivating others. Otter can sometimes be hurt when people do not like them. Otter personalities usually have lots of friends, but not deep relationships. They love to goof-off. (They are notorious for messy rooms.) Otters like to hurry and finish jobs. (Jobs are not often done well.) The otter personality is like Tigger in Winnie The Pooh.

Strength: People person, open, positive
Weakness: Talks too much, too permissive
Limitation: Remembering past commitments, follow through with discipline

[E]xperience

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

At a point of riot (civil violence) I could have lost my life, after God saved me I decided to make a change which I have been promising God long ago.

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

• Tower of Praise Gospel Church.
Served as Music director, Sunday school teacher and Pastor’s assistant.
For 5years.
In Port-harcourt.

• Rehma Word Church.
Served as Pastor’s assistant, Music director, Sunday school teacher.
For 2years.
In Port-harcourt, Rivers State.

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

Having to be impacted by Rev. Doctor Uma Ukpai and to serve under his ministry.

When I was yet born gain a lady told me out of my recklessness to always take thing easy and simply in life and life will be easy with me.

That word entered me.

Being involved in community deliverance
Crusade mission.

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:

Having to assume the position of a father to my siblings at the age of 12

When the church I served in could not be of help when I needed them most, I was rather ridiculed which has resulted in my inability to share my worries with other people.

Working with a leader who will never appreciate me and also will not let me go.
