SCRIPTURE: Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD? or who shall stand in his holy place? He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully. Psalm 24:3-4.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Godly character establishes a person in the Presence of God.
The Scripture reveals that godliness is gainful. It is true, godliness comes with gain. Godly character comes with profits in life and destiny, both in this world and in the world to come.
1 Timothy 6:6 says,
But godliness with contentment is great gain.
And the gain or profit of godliness is not only to escape hell fire or to make heaven, but also to live profitably on earth.
Now, what is the gain of godliness? Why is godly character gainful?
Godly character attracts the Presence of God, and the Presence of God equals the Anointing.
Psalm 24:3-4 says,
Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD? or who shall stand in his holy place? He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully.
Godly character attracts the Presence of God and the Presence of God is the anointing.
Godly character establishes a person in the Presence of God. The opposite is very true. Ungodly character disconnects man from the Presence of God.
Isaiah 59:1-2 says,
Behold, the LORD’S hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear: But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear.
And Habakkuk 1:13 says,
Thou art of purer eyes than to behold evil, and canst not look on iniquity: wherefore lookest thou upon them that deal treacherously, and holdest thy tongue when the wicked devoureth the man that is more righteous than he?
Beloved, you need God in your life to succeed on earth, and you need godly character to attract the Presence of God to you.
Therefore, make up your mind to uphold godly character at all times.
Remember this: Godly character establishes a person in the Presence of God.
