Your Primary was ‘The Lion’, with your Secondary coming in as ‘The Beaver’, 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

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

[E]xperience

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

I was in high school on a Sunday and a message was preached and altar call made. I remember coming out to give my life to Christ and feeling sooooo free, happy and excited after the service ended.

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

ECWA Gospel. Chorister. Campus Fellowship Chorister. RCCG Administrator, Chorister, Choir Coordinator, Decorator,

Sunday School Teacher, Bible Study Teacher,

Counsellor, Pulpit Minister, Pastors Wife. Evangelism etc.

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

1. I was a Sunday School Class Teacher and as I taught, I realised that I was being ministered to and it shaped my life. I became more conversant with scripture not just as a written Word, but an Action Word.

I learnt how to be patient, an attribute which I never had.

Little things count. Don’t wait till you have much before you give and always learn to look up to God and not be bothered about people showing gratitude to you or not.

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:

I was once far from home and was lonely. So I understand when someone is in the same or similar situation.

There were times in my life that I was hungry and alone. I am passionate about people who have no friend, family etc.

My darling husband went to be with the Lord 2years ago. I am not fully back on my feet, but I understand people who have lost loved ones
