10 Commandments of Conflict Resolution

Conflicts happen all the time. Misunderstandings at work or conflict of interests with family members are inevitable. These problems often get resolved. But when there are situations that are more difficult to manage, how do you deal with these conflicts?
Knowing the basics of conflict resolution may help you in your everyday life. It gives you the opportunity to understand people more and see where they are coming from instead of having a one-sided argument. It will help you respond more rationally and listen to what the other person has to say.
Arguments usually make people more emotional. Sometimes the emotions take over and we end up with dirty fights and harsh words towards each other. Anger builds walls between individuals that result to more quarrels and less understanding.
The key to resolving conflicts is being able to listen to what the other party has to say. If you don’t give each other the chance to explain, then that argument will go in circles. God has commanded us to bear with one another and become peacemakers.

10 Commandments of Glossolalia

For some churches, speaking in tongues is a taboo, for others it is encouraged.
‘Glossolalia’ refers to a believer speaking in words that were never part of his or her known language. It happens commonly during states of deep religious prayer or songs of worship.
When you receive God in your life, the Spirit of the Lord gives you the ability to gain its fruits and gifts as your live your Christian life – including tongue-speaking.
Tongue-speaking was part of our history. This first happened during the day of the Pentecost when the believers were enabled by the Holy Spirit to speak in languages. This gift has been carried on from thousands of years until the present day.
The 10 Commandments of Glossolalia by Bishop Bernard E. Johnson explains the origin of this gift and teaches us how to use it wisely. It guides us on how to make use of this gift. It is important to know that this gift is used to convey the message of God and nothing else. We are used as a vessel by the Holy Spirit to communicate to people of different nationalities and backgrounds. It is God’s way of speaking to those who need to hear the Gospel.

10 Commandments of Intention by Bishop E. Bernard Jordan


We all have dreams and goals in life. The journey to fulfilling those dreams is always the memorable and vital ones. Which is why it is important that we check our intentions and if they are aligned with God.

Intent is synonymous to “motive”. Every time we act upon pursuing our goals, we always need to know if our intentions are good or bad. God watches our steps and weighs our motives. Our intentions are important to the Lord.

In order to achieve what we desire, we need to have the motivation to do it. But we must always be careful with our behavior in doing so. Some people will do anything in order to get what they want. They will step on people and not care if their actions affect others on the way. Our behavior matches with our intent. We must always have a positive behavior in order to have positive outcomes.

We need to set our intentions and be able to base it on who we are and our values. When our hearts are filled with faith, then our intentions become pure and good. Our intentions tell us about who we really are, and God can see that.
