Seeds of Destiny 12 March 2024 SOD Devotional MESSAGE:
Upright character has a lifting power. Integrity and uprightness of character facilitate lifting and promotion in life.
Daniel was a figure in Scripture who was lifted by the power of integrity.
Daniel 6:1-2 says:
It pleased Darius to set over the kingdom an hundred and twenty princes, which should be over the whole kingdom;
And over these three presidents; of whom Daniel was first: that the princes might give accounts unto them, and the king should have no damage.
It is important to note that Daniel was in charge of the King’s affairs and there was no damage.
The New International Version puts verse 2 this way:
‘…so the king will suffer no loss.’
The King seemed to have told his assistants:
Let us look for someone who will look after the money so that nothing would miss from the treasury.
And the only person they could find to take charge of the principal affairs of the empire, including the treasury, was Daniel. Daniel was put in charge and nothing got missing or damaged.
As a result of Daniel’s financial integrity, the king set him over the whole realm.
Then this Daniel was preferred above the presidents and princes, because an excellent spirit was in him; and the king thought to set him over the whole realm. 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 6:3-4
This was the secret of Daniel’s lifting.
Beloved, integrity does not demote a person; rather, it promotes a person. Uprightness does not decrease a person; rather, it increases a person. Integrity is the twin of prosperity; holiness is the twin of wealth. All the people who were lifted and empowered financially by God were people that had uprightness of character.
REMEMBER THIS: Integrity does not demote a person; rather, it promotes a person.
ASSIGNMENTS:
- Make up your mind to climb to the top through the ladder of uprightness.
- Maintain the discipline of upright living to remain at the top.
PRAYER: Lord, I receive the grace to live right. Help me to imbibe the discipline of holy and upright living, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.
