Topic: Who is a narcissist and how to live successfully with them.

-

We are going to discuss above topic for the next 7 days, with hope that God will help us cope with narcissists or change if we are one of such person.

Scripture Reading: “For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud…” (2 Timothy 3:2)

Who is a Narcissist?
A narcissist is someone who is excessively self-centered, craves admiration, and often lacks empathy for others. They may manipulate situations to maintain control, dismiss the feelings of those around them, and struggle to admit fault. In essence, their world revolves around themselves.

Braid topic: Living with a Narcissist

Day 1: 
Guard Your Heart
- Scripture: “Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.” (Proverbs 4:23)  
- Reflection: A narcissist’s words can wound deeply. God calls us to protect our hearts by anchoring them in His truth.  
- Prayer: Lord, help me guard my heart against manipulation and keep my focus on You.  
- Action Step: Write down one verse that reminds you of your worth in Christ. Keep it close today.

Title: When your time shall be over, you'll fly away.

-
Psalms 90:10  The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away. Devotional: Late music legend – Peter Tosh sang a song with this title many years ago. It came to mind yesterday while I listened to a beautifully delivered sermon at a burial. I therefore penned this devotional on same title. Do not be deceived, at a point in your life you’ll fly away.   There comes a day when the tapestry of your earthly existence is folded. The moments of struggle, joy, triumph, and trials will all coalesce into a story complete. When that time comes, the soul, unburdened by the weight of the mortal frame, ascends beyond the veil of this world—taking flight toward eternal rest.   You are not bound to the temporal; your essence is celestial. As the Psalmist declared, "The days of our years are threescore years and ten...it is soon cut off, and we ...

Title: Divine Acceleration.

-
Genesis 41:40-41  Thou shalt be over my house, and according unto thy word shall all my people be ruled: only in the throne will I be greater than thou. And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, See, I have set thee over all the land of Egypt. And he made him to ride in the second chariot which he had; and they cried before him, Bow the knee: and he made him ruler over all the land of Egypt. Devotion: Have you ever felt like your dreams are taking too long to come true? Like you're walking a slow path while others seem to be racing ahead? Take heart—God is a God of acceleration! When He steps in, He can take you from waiting to walking in His promises in an instant.   Consider the story of Joseph. Sold into slavery by his own brothers, imprisoned for a crime he didn’t commit—it seemed like his dreams were slipping further away. But when God's appointed time arrived, Joseph was promoted from the prison to the palace in a single day! (Genesis 41:14-41). Years of waiting, hardship, and ...
