A GOOD CHARACTER

Proverbs 22:1 “A good name [earned by honorable behavior, godly wisdom, moral courage, and personal integrity] is more desirable than great riches; And favor is better than silver and gold”

Character is a major factor in your success journey.

No one can succeed without a great character because it contributes greatly to your success story. A positive character has always been the foundation for success.

This consists of the virtues that the “new life” brings, namely, kindness, truthfulness, patience, honesty, endurance, etc.

You can’t be successful in life when you neglect these virtues. The truth is that you can master many things in life, but the absence of a virtuous character will bring you no lasting results.

A bad or weak character is a life deficient of godly virtues, godly principles, and discipline.

Every day of your life gives you the opportunity to make your character better. Be determined to build a solid character for your life since the consequence of a bad character is highly unbearable.

For instance, a bad character can destroy a marriage, it can destroy a relationship, it can bring chaos to a family and it bring confusion to a ministry. One author once wrote “A bad character is like a flat tire. If you don’t change it, you’ll never go anywhere.”

Always remember that you are as powerful as your character. It has the power to make you and to also unmake you. You see, instead of concentrating on things which are of lesser value in life, spend time on building a SOLID AND AN UNQUESTIONABLE character.

Don’t forget to keep assessing yourself daily to ensure that you put your character in a way that can promote your success in all things- ministry, career, marriage, education, etc.

Read: Philippians 2:15 “so that you may prove yourselves to be blameless and guileless, innocent and uncontaminated, children of God without blemish in the midst of a [morally] crooked and [spiritually] perverted generation, among whom you are seen as bright lights [beacons shining out clearly] in the world [of darkness],” (AMP)

 Prayer: Father, I pray that you stir in me the grace to walk in the godly characters deposited in me. May my character bring glory to your name. In Jesus mighty name. Amen!
