The Character Of A Glorious Destiny

And thou shalt make holy garments for Aaron thy brother for glory and for beauty. Exodus 28:2.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Character is existing in the realm of consistent positive action or behaviour.

God told Moses that if a man needed glory, his garment must be holy. There is a connection between character and glory. If you are looking for the glory, then your garments must be holy. Continue...

What then is character? The book of Dan. 6:4 says, ‘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.’

Character is existing in the realm of consistent positive action or behaviour. You are a person of character if you consistently act positively or correctly. The word ‘faithful’, as we can see in the life of Daniel, means consistent positive actions. Character means existence in the realm of positive lifestyle, the consistency of correct behaviour. It is a realm of reliability, dependability and ‘trustability.’ This means that if a person of integrity does not lie, then you expect him not to lie consistently; if he does not steal, then you expect him not to steal consistently.

I would like you to understand that even bad people do good things occasionally. So, what you do occasionally does not define your character but what you do consistently. What is the consistent nature of your life? When a person of character puts forth a negative action, it is an exception. For instance, when people hear that a person of character tells a lie, they would say, ‘Something must have gone wrong somewhere; it is quite unlike him.’ That is character. If you are on the journey of character, know that it is a journey of consistency.

ASSIGNMENT (S):

1. Examine your life and work on any form of character deficiency.

2. Pray and take appropriate steps to amend your character.

PRAYER: O Lord, give me the grace to amend any character deficiency in my life in order to see Your glory, in Jesus’ Name.

QUOTE: If you are going to reign in this life as a king, one of the major ways you will do that is by the power of character and integrity. Culled from WHO ARE YOU? by Dr Paul Enenche.
