Seeds of Destiny 6th May 2020 MESSAGE:
Character is one of the most important virtues in life as demonstrated in scriptures. Our anchor Scripture tells us that without holiness (Godly character), no man can see the Lord. Your faith can give you victory on earth but it is your character that gives you entrance into eternity. Your eternity is at the mercy of your character. Your destiny is also at the mercy of your character because doors can open and close on the basis of character.
Now, a major pillar of character is word integrity (1 Timothy 4:12). People of character are:
a. People who mean what they say and say what they mean.
b. People who are not given to too much talk. They are people of few words and massive actions (Prov. 17:27-28).
c. People who are not given to lies and falsehood (Psalm 101:7).
d. People who are not given to slander or character assassination.
e. People who are not given to filthy or careless communication.
The worth of a man is equal to the worth of his words. So, people who have character speak worthy words.
Beloved, your words matter to God as much as your life (Eph. 4:29). Speak life-giving words, words that minister grace to the hearer. Let people long for communication with you. Let people look forward to what you have to say.
REMEMBER THIS: Your faith can give you victory on earth but it is your character that gives you entrance into eternity.
ASSIGNMENTS:
1. Always be careful of what you say because words do not die once spoken.
2. Endeavour to speak positive words of life to yourself and to others.
PRAYER: Lord, I ask that You transform my life completely. Let the words that come out of my mouth be edifying to both myself and others, Lord in Jesus’ Name.
