Seed Of Destiny Daily Devotional By Pastor Paul Eneche 20 JULY 2015 by BASD(m): 8:16am On Jul 21, 2015 |
TOPIC: UNDERSTANDING CHARACTER SCRIPTURE: But Daniel purposed in his heart that he will not defile himself with the portion of the king’s meat, nor with the wine which he drank: therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself – Daniel 1:8 THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: When a person has one identity in church and another outside the church, he has character infirmity. It has been confirmed that no one can see the glory of God except he lives a life of holiness. Therefore, if something must be glorious, it must be on the platform of holiness (Exodus 15:11) . Nothing can be glorious without character. What then is character? 1. It is existing with a life that is open. A man of character lives an open life like an open book. Paul’s conscience was void of offence towards God and towards man (Acts 24:16) . As a man of character, who you are publicly is also who you are privately; who you are in church is who you are at home. When a person has one identity in church and another outside the church, he has a character infirmity. 2. Character is existence with positive conviction, not consensus. People of positive character have positive conviction; they do not live for consensus. Character is living for positive purpose and not for pleasure. It is an existence that is purpose-driven, not pleasure-driven. There are people who are pleasure-driven, so they can do anything as far as it makes them happy. Also note that character is living not just for the immediate but also for the ultimate. People of character do not go for temporary gain and end in permanent loss. So, beloved be a person of character and secure your destiny in time and in eternity. Remember this: When a person has one identity in church and another outside the church, he has a character infirmity. ASSIGNMENT(S): 1. Do everything possible to maintain a positive character. 2. Never allow your life to be driven by pleasure; be eternity-minded. FOR FURTHER UNDERSTANDING GET THIS MESSAGE: DEFINING CHARACTER (PART 4) PRAYER: Lord, I refuse to go bankrupt in character, help me to be a man of solid character in, Jesus’ Name. DAILY READING: 1 Chronicles 28:1 to 29:30, Romans 5:6 to 21, Psalm 15:1 to 5, Proverbs 19:18 to19 QUOTE: Your nature affects your future. Your character affects your destiny. Your habit affects your habitat – culled from WHO ARE YOU? by Dr Paul Enenche. PROPHETIC PARENTAL BLESSING: Everything that has put an embargo on success in any area of your life, today that embargo is broken. If you are succeeding in one area but failing in other areas of your life, today is the end of such a misnomer, in Jesus’ Name. – Dr Paul Enenche |
