SCRIPTURE: And Abram said to the king of Sodom, I have lift up mine hand unto the Lord, the most high God, the possessor of heaven and earth, That I will not take from a thread even to a shoelatchet, and that I will not take any thing that is thine, lest thou shouldest say, I have made Abram rich: Genesis 14:22-23
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: The quality of your destiny is determined by the strength of your character; your destiny cannot rise above your character.
Godly character has been confirmed to be a major quality of high flyers.
For example, Abraham rose up in life by Godly character.
Genesis 14:18-23 says,
And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he was the priest of the most high God.
And he blessed him, and said, Blessed be Abram of the most high God, possessor of heaven and earth:
And blessed be the most high God, which hath delivered thine enemies into thy hand. And he gave him tithes of all.
And the king of Sodom said unto Abram, Give me the persons, and take the goods to thyself.
And Abram said to the king of Sodom, I have lift up mine hand unto the Lord, the most high God, the possessor of heaven and earth,
That I will not take from a thread even to a shoelatchet, and that I will not take any thing that is thine, lest thou shouldest say, I have made Abram rich:
The possession of Godly character would not allow Abraham to take what did not belong to him.
Now, a major power of Godly character is that it undergirds destiny.
Your “being” determines your “becoming.”
The eagle, for example, does not eat corruption. The eagle is also married to one mate for life.
This character of the eagle is what makes it to fly high.
On the other hand, the vulture eats corruption.
But the vulture, on the other hand, can never be classified as a high-flying bird. Even by physical look, the eagle and the vulture are not comparable.
The neck of the vulture communicates wretchedness; its bald head is a terrible sight to behold. And besides, the vulture eats corruption.
Beloved, your character undergirds your destiny.
The quality of your destiny is determined by the strength of your character; your destiny cannot rise above your character.
My counsel is, make up your mind to be a person of Godly character.
Remember this: The quality of your destiny is determined by the strength of your character; your destiny cannot rise above your character.
