TOPIC: THE FUEL OF GODLY CHARACTER
SCRIPTURE: The fear of the LORD is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate. Proverbs 8:13
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Your love for God compels your obedience to Him.
Character, Godly character is the bedrock of destiny. Godly character is a critical factor to destiny fulfilment. Character is an essential ingredient in the journey of life and destiny.
But character itself is fuelled by certain factors and forces. Those are the factors that make for the availability or lack of Godly character.
In our study today, we shall be looking at some of the factors or forces that fuel Godly character.
1. The fear of God and love for God.
Proverbs 8:13 says, "The fear of the LORD is to hate evil..
That is, you are not just avoiding evil; you hate it. That was the testimony of Job; he feared God and eschewed evil (Job 1:1). Joseph also feared God so much that he couldn’t pay his brethren back for the evil they did to him. Genesis 42:18.
Beloved, if you fear God, you will not struggle to keep His commandments. At the same time, your love for God compels your obedience to Him and His commandments.
Matthew 22:37 says, Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
2. Love for man and the company you keep.
Love for man makes you unable to hurt others.
Mathew 7:12 says, Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.
Many lives today are upside down because of the bankruptcy of love and the fear of God. When love is present, compassion becomes natural. With love, your actions are guided by consideration for others. Love, therefore, is a major booster of Godly character.
Remember This: Your love for God compels your obedience to Him.
ASSIGNMENT(S):
1. Always choose integrity over convenience.
2. Examine your private life consistently; the habits you tolerate in secret will eventually determine your height and standing in public.
PRAYER: Father, build in me a character that reflects Your Nature, a character that pleases You. Deliver me from pride, compromise, and every form of weakness that fights against Godly character, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.
