TOPIC: BE A PLEASANT PERSONALITY; EXUDE LOVE
SCRIPTURE: He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. 1 JOHN 4:8.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: To be godly is to be like God; and to be like God is to be like love.
In our world today, many people want to hang around a pleasant personality. Many people want to come close to a person whose atmosphere exudes love, joy, kindness and happiness. No one wants to be around a person whose atmosphere exudes hate, anger and unforgiveness.
It is very important to make up your mind to be someone that people want to hang around with.
This is my own thinking: my relationship with my wife, children, and other family members should give them an idea of how God looks and acts.
Sometime ago, I told my children, “Do not ever shrink back from asking me for anything you want. If you need it, and I have it, you don’t have to beg for it.”
I do not want my children to beg me for what they need because I do not want to go before God and beg Him. I want to be able to walk to God with boldness. He is my Heavenly Father and I should be able to ask Him for anything I need, and He should be able to do it for me. I should be able to step into His Presence and enjoy His Presence.
Once in a while, my wife comes into the closet where I pray, and sits down.
One day, she came to the closet and I asked her, “What are you doing here?”
She said, “I just came to be towed in this ‘anointmosphere.” I want to just partake in this ‘anointmosphere.”
There are men whose wives cannot come near them.
When their wives come close to them, they would ask, “What are you doing here? You came to ask for something? Can’t you respect my privacy?”
Beloved, godliness is God-likeness; to be godly is to be like God. And to be like God is to be like love. It is delusional to claim to be godly and be hateful.
Beloved, please be “Godful” by being love-filled. Confirm your godliness by your loveliness.
Be a pleasant personality to hang around with by exuding love, the Nature of God.
REMEMBER THIS: To be godly is to be like God; and to be like God is to be like love.

QUOTE: Bitterness is a state of resentfulness. It is an intense or very striking, deep-seated feeling of anger. It is an in-depth feeling of hurt which normally arises due to a bad or negative experience; where a person feels he or she has been treated unjustly; or in a way not deserved. Bitterness is normally a painful, emotional, and unpleasant condition of the heart arising from a hurt. Culled from the book, “Am I Bitter?” by Dr Mrs Becky Paul-Enenche.
