• ISOLATE YOURSELF FROM THE CROWD (MATTHEW 5:1):
  Do not identity with the crowd. Always stand out from the crowd. Talk peace and maturity. The crowd is always faceless with no particular person to point to when in trouble. Anyone who isolates himself from the crowd must have focus and direction like Jesus' disciples in Matthew 5:1. You must not allow the negative attributes of the crowd to influence you because you want to feel among. Be like Jesus who learnt how to manage the crowd like John his discipler.

• DON'T BE COMPLACENT (Matthew 5:3):
  Always seek for more. Don't be satisfied with your status quo in the spirit. Be poor in spirit for the bible says "For theirs is the kingdom of heaven". Long for more, don't feel you are strong enough without the word of God and fellowship (Hebrews 10:25).

• BE RESPONSIBLE (Matthew 5:4):
  Don't just condemn, take the responsibility of making right every wrong situation you find in your home, evironment and country in order to bring glory to God. Have a burden( mourning in the spirit) like Nehemiah (Nehemiah 1:4) to impact into lives instead of gossiping and blaming others. Be like Moses' father-in-law, Jethro who did not only criticize Moses but also proffered solution to the wrong way he adopted in judging the people (Exodus 18:14-24).

• MEEKNESS ( Matthew 5:4):
  The best way to fight disrespect is meekness. Meekness is a character that is similar to humility but is still different from humility. Meekness is when you have something probably power bit don't exercise it just like Moses and Jesus while humility is having great power, wealth or fame but relating well with other people.
  Meekness is sometimes associated with forgiveness because you have the power to punish but you still forgive. It is a level of spiritual maturity where someone's offence no matter how great is not painful to you. The crowd will expect you to be show up but Jesus will overlook at such situations so be like Jesus.
