SCRIPTURE: And let it come to pass, that the damsel to whom I shall say, Let down thy pitcher, I pray thee, that I may drink; and she shall say, Drink, and I will give thy camels drink also: let the same be she that thou hast appointed for thy servant Isaac; and thereby shall I know that thou hast shewed kindness unto my master. – Genesis 24:14.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Character has a higher selling power than beauty; character has a higher selling power than certificate and connection.
SEEDS OF DESTINY 4TH SEPTEMBER 2024 MESSAGE
In Genesis 24, when Abraham’s servant was looking for a wife for Isaac, he made a striking request to God regarding the character or the kind of woman he was looking for.
According our anchor Scripture, he did not ask God, “O Lord, as I stand by this well, the most beautiful girl I see, let her be the wife of Isaac. The most educated girl with all the degrees in the world, let her be the wife of Isaac.”
Is that the prayer he prayed? No! Rather, the prayer he prayed was centered on character.
And let it come to pass, that the damsel to whom I shall say, Let down thy pitcher, I pray thee, that I may drink; and she shall say, Drink, and I will give thy camels drink also: let the same be she that thou hast appointed for thy servant Isaac; and thereby shall I know that thou hast shewed kindness unto my master.
Genesis 24:14
This means, the servant was looking for a lady with character that would give both him and his camels drink.
The lesson here is that character has a higher selling power than beauty; character has a higher selling power than certificates and connections.
Anything you have in life without good character is at the risk of being lost. For example, you may have influential people who can give you their business cards to access privileges and advantages in life, but they cannot manifest character for you. Their cards may give you a job, but it is your character that will keep the job.
Character has a higher selling power than beauty. I don’t want you to misunderstand me. I am not saying that it is sinful to be beautiful or have academic degrees; it is a better and greater thing when you combine that beauty with good character. It is an asset to combine good looks with good character.
This combination was found in Joseph. He was a young man with good looks and quality character.
Beloved, my counsel to you is: let godly character be your priority. In all thy getting, get godly character.
Remember this: Character has a higher selling power than beauty; character has a higher selling power than certificate and connection.
ASSIGNMENT:
1. Make up your mind to combine good character with all that you have.
2. Resist any lifestyle that will fight your character.
PRAYER: Father, I ask for the grace to live right. Help me to maintain positive character always, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.

QUOTE: God cannot do Anything serious with someone whose character is out of order.
