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. Daniel 1:8.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: One of the ways through which God elevates His people is godly character.
The will of God is to elevate His children to positions of influence and authority in their generation (Matthew 5:14-16).
This means, God is raising out of you, a “Joseph generation,” a “Daniel generation,” an “Esther generation,” to take critical positions of authority and influence and impact the nations of the world, governments, and organizations positively.
And one of the ways through which God elevates His people is godly character.
There is a character that attracts and a character that repels. There is a character that draws people to a person, and there is a character that drives people and opportunities away. There is a character that opens doors and there is a character that closes them. There is a character that makes others interested in a person, and there is a character that causes them to lose interest in a person. There is a character that multiplies opportunities and there is a character that diminishes opportunities. There is a character that increases favour and there is a character that drives away favour.
I believe that one of the greatest factors determining a person’s life and destiny is character. There comes a time in a person’s life when the challenges they face are no longer about external forces like witches and wizards, but about character. A person may have the right credentials and qualifications but lacks the right character. Success may remain a mirage in the life and destiny of such a person.
Beloved, make up your mind to deploy the force of godly character and let God raise you to the top places of life.
Remember this: One of the ways through which God elevates His people is godly character.
