SCRIPTURE: But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king’s meat, nor with the wine which he drank: therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself. Daniel1:8.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: The best of your gifts, grace and potentials are released when you maintain godly character.
Godly character is key to the release of human potentials. Your best comes out when your character is godly. The best of your gifts, grace and potentials are released when you maintain godly character.
In Jeremiah 15:19, God told Jeremiah,
If thou return, then will I bring thee again, and thou shalt stand before me: and if thou take forth the precious from the vile, thou shalt be as my mouth: let them return unto thee; but return not thou unto them.
That is to say, “If you will separate rubbish from reality, if you will separate nonsense from sense, you will stand before me, and you shall be my mouthpiece.”
God seems to say, “You will become what I want you to become if only you can remove filthy things from your life.”
You know, it is only when you refine crude oil that you can get petrol (PMS), gas, kerosene and other petroleum products.
Beloved, your potential is enormous but until it is refined, it remains crude.
This is how it is in life. If the little lies, stealing, exaggeration, obsession with money, etc. can be removed from your life, you can become the mouthpiece of God. God will use you in ways that will amaze you if you maintain a lifestyle of purity and uprightness.
Daniel1:8 says,
But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king’s meat, nor with the wine which he drank: therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself.
And because Daniel purposed in his heart not to defile himself, he walked in the realms of unusual potentials deployment. He was the head of academicians, politicians and magicians in Babylon.
Beloved, do not entertain any form of ungodly lifestyle.
Remember this: The best of your gifts, grace and potentials are released when you maintain godly character.
ASSIGNMENTS:
- Ask God to remove from you, anything that is a hindrance to the release of your inherent potentials.
- Make up your mind to maintain a lifestyle of godliness and uprightness.
PRAYER: Lord, purge me of all unrighteousness by the Blood of Jesus. Help me with the grace to maintain godly character at all times, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.
