Scriptural Text:
Mark 6:34 (NKJV).
“And Jesus, when he came out, saw much people, and was moved with compassion toward them, because they were as sheep not having a shepherd: and he began to teach them many things.”
Nurturing others is an important aspect of human relationships and community building. Whether it is within the family, or among friends and colleagues, taking the time to care for and support others can make a significant difference in their lives.
In our opening text today, we see how Christ Jesus nurtured his disciples, teaching them out of a heart of compassion and the desire to see them transformed. He taught them through his words and actions, modeling what it meant to love and serve others.
Many times also, He also challenged his disciples, pushing them out of their comfort zones and helping them to develop new skills and abilities (Luke 9:1-2). This is the heart of a true leader.
Thus, as one who intends to perpetuate success in the home, workplace or the society at large, you must commit to nurturing others as a way of bringing out the best in them, and positioning them for success.
Therefore, rather than focusing on what is lacking in the people that God has brought your way, identify their potentials, and become intentional in helping them grow in that light. Consider how you can investing time, energy, and resources in their growth and development, with the goal of helping them become the best that they can be.

To nurture can also be referred to dream fast. It requires patience, time and a heart of compassion focusing more on the potential of the person, helping them gain momentum while working to help them improve in their area of weakness because when you reject a person on account of his weakness, you have also rejected his strength.
David had eventual mighty men because he nurtured them, we are all in one level or the other because we are being nurtured.
Thank you so much My Prophet for always nurturing us and helping us to become better and teaching us to help others grow also. I choose to nurture others.

This is the dream fast prophet taught us about some weeks ago o!!
One of the best opportunity God gave humanity is to be part of God’s agenda of nurturing people. It is one of the most noble thing we can do with our life.
Nurturing is creating an enabling environment, identifying the potentials in the person, fanning their flames to bring forth the glory underneat.it also goes beyond potential but to also identify deficiencies in people and help them overcome it.

A very insightful word from our prophet. The need to build others up can’t be overemphasized. Helping other to realize their potentials and ultimately fulfil their destinies. Glory to God for this devotional
It’s important to take a step back from our bubbles to pay attention to what’s happening in the life of others.
Nurturing people is such a great act of selflessness and I’m glad our prophet touched on this topic today. I will most definitely be applying what I learned in today’s write up to my every day life.

A good leader propagates his or her kind, helping others become significant to themselves and others makes love to be shared, and nurturing people is a method of expressing who you are.
As we aspire to be Christ like, it’s also good we are filled with compassion towards other people, that is a trait I attribute to Christ mostly, may God help me to be nurturing to all that he has placed in my life.
Thank You Lord
Thank you my prophet sir for another great one… I learn to be committed in nurturing others, so help me Lord

Investing in others is as good as investing in yourself because what you teach you become better at it. JESUS is an example of a true leader and HE was always teaching at any opportunity. 🇬🇭
There is a great joy seeing those we nurture fulfilling their dreams and destiny therefore like Jesus we must not relent.
Nurturing someone is assume going out of the line for that person.is as far as leaving Ur dream for the others to succeed. A good leader is someone who make and add to the potentials of other people.becoming a helping hands to others.

Focusing on the merit and not the demerits of those we lead gives us the morale to nurture them with the understanding that this will make them hone their strength and make progress which is the aim of mentorship. Thus, they have the opportunity to thrive and a chance to grow.
Thank you my Prophet Sir for today’s blessing, our service of nurturing others, see the potentials in the people, and help them grow.
Nurturing requires patience.. thank you my prophet for all of your teachings
From experience, I’ve understood that investing into others also means creating leaders that would stand the gap in your absence. It’s like building Pillars that would hold the building you can’t hold alone.. When you invest into the right people, you create ready and worthy men around you. This way you don’t feel superior or prideful, you’re not alone in your world of success, jealousy reduces around you because your circle of friends are winng too and you don’t feel lack when there is, and you attracts God’s blessings upon you.

Cornelius from Ojo Lagos
Jesus led by example by nurturing others and since we are following Jesus we must do same. Lagos, Nigeria.
Open my eyes Lord to see the potentials around me that I might nurture them in your ways.
God, has created everyone each unique talents, and many don’t have the resources or the person to help bring out that talent.
Helping others grow their talent should be a lifestyle.
If Jesus did so, then we must do so.
Investing in people, I believe is the greatest gift one can give. The funny is that, when you nurture people you also get more nurtured yourself as more ideas flows in your spirit. Thank you sir for this piece.
A good leader is one who takes out time to discover the potential of others and nurtures it to a point that , that individual becomes useful not only to himself but also the society.

There a lots of persons that have great potentials but do not know, some know but do not know how to nuture it. Sometimes God bring them our way to help them discover and nurture their these potentials. So we go extra miles to ensure we help them, sacrificing what we can for them while expecting nothing back from them believing that we are fufiling God’s assignment given to us.Precious AnaniGpc Port Harcourt

I must nurture others who will then take my place so I can go higher. This is very instructive for any who wants to go up. This is a leadership skill that one must develop in any sphere.

Don’t focus on people’s shortcomings. See their potential and help them to be the best they can be. Wow!! what a lesson to learn from our prophet. Thank you so much sir.
Thank you sir for this great insight.
I choose to nurture others
Sir, this too can come with its own baggage.
It can be draining too and my question is “How much of these can you take” so if you decide to take a walk seeing you nurtured it and it didn’t work.
Should that make me a bad person and irrespective of how they perceive it I believe they will come to the light some day and come to see that the nurturer also needs to be nourished but only God can give us this.
So I guess I should continue to nurture them and put them in my prayers irrespective of my feelings because that’s what Christ will do.
Thank you sir for always teaching us.
I receive wisdom in Jesus name.
Amen.

The act of nurturing in life of people is indeed a great benefit to the individual, because the more you see to the growth of others the more you also grow.
Identifying the gift in someone life, helping to grow the gift, watching the gift manifesting gladdens the heart.
I pray God continue to give us the grace to bring out the best out of people around us.
Growing up, I find pleasure in investing in people around me and I think anyone who desires success should do the same, nurturing and investing in others is another of means of paving ways for one’s success. Help me oh Lord to Nurture as many people as I can. Amen.

Lorsque Dieu veut faire quelque chose sur la terre, Il passe toujours par des hommes. Il se sert des hommes pour accomplir Ses plans sur la terre. De cette même manière, nous aussi nous sommes des personnes qui véhiculent la grâce de Dieu dans la vie de nos frères et sœurs. Le niveau où nous sommes actuellement est le produit d’actions d’autres personnes qui nous ont aidé, analoguement nous devons aussi aider à bâtir d’autres personnes. Merci Prophète de Dieu.
