SEEDS OF DESTINY 12th MAY 2020 -CONSISTENCY OF POSITIVE ACTION – THE TRADEMARK OF CHARACTER
Beloved, understand that what is going to market us in time and in eternity is character. Time is coming when your character will speak for you in areas where your certificate and beauty cannot speak for you.
SCRIPTURE: Then the presidents and princes sought to find occasion against Daniel concerning the kingdom; but they could find none occasion nor fault; forasmuch as he was faithful, neither was there any error or fault found in him. Daniel 6:4
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: A person of character consistently exists and acts positively and correctly.
The life of Daniel as portrayed by our anchor Scripture clearly exemplified character.
Character is existing in the realm of consistent positive action or behaviour. A person of character consistently exists and acts positively and correctly.
Our anchor Scripture reveals Daniel as a faithful person. The word ‘faithful’ means existence in the realm of consistent positive character or behaviour. It is a realm of reliability, dependability and trust-ability. That is, you know what to expect from the person.
It is not what a man does occasionally, but what he does consistently that defines his character. If he does not lie, then on a consistent basis, you expect him not to lie. If he does not steal, then you expect him not to steal consistently. The character of the eagle, for instance is to soar, so it is for a person of character; negative actions are strong exceptions in his life. When people hear that such a man tells a lie, they will say it is unlike him, something must be wrong somewhere. That is character.
Beloved, understand that what is going to market us in time and in eternity is character. Time is coming when your character will speak for you in areas where your certificate and beauty cannot speak for you. As you cooperate with God to work on your character, God is going to help you, in Jesus’ Name.
REMEMBER THIS: A person of character consistently exists and acts positively and correctly.
