SCRIPTURE: And Samson went and caught three hundred foxes, and took firebrands, and turned tail to tail, and put a firebrand in the midst between two tails. Judges 15:4

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Characterlessness is the reason for destiny collapse; where your character stops, there your destiny ends.

Several years ago, I came across a study on the animal called Fox. When the Scripture says that Samson caught three hundred foxes and put fire on their tails and sent them into the standing corns of the Philistines to set it on fire, I became curious and asked, why the fox? Then I realised that the fox is a member of the dog family. The dog family comprises the domestic dogs, the bears, the wolves, the jackals, the dingoes and other dogs. Among all the members of the dog family, it was the fox Samson chose for the assignment. And then I realised that apart from intelligence, the fox has integrity, higher integrity than the domestic dog. The fox has a solid character; it behaves like the eagle. The character of the fox is one reason it was used for that assignment.

Beloved, if you must carry out an assignment for the Kingdom of God; if you must rise from the pit to the top, you need the solidity of character. Characterlessness is the reason for destiny collapse; where your character stops, there your destiny ends. It doesn’t matter the potentials you carry, where you lack character, you lack destiny. That was the challenge of people like Reuben, Judas Iscariot, etc. in the Scripture. 

I counsel you to always make up your mind to develop a strong and solid character in order to have a strong and solid destiny.

Remember this: Characterlessness is the reason for destiny collapse; where your character stops, there your destiny ends.

QUOTE: Whenever your name is mentioned in your absence, what comes to people's mind – a prostitute, seducing spirit, Jezebel, Judas, thief, liar, proud man, cheat, trickster, or a criminal? That which comes to their mind is what determines your destiny. Whatever comes to the mind of people when your name is mentioned is either assisting or resisting you.

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: Iniquity corrupts destiny.

Previously, we established that the eagle does not taste corruption. Once a piece of meat is rotten, it is not for the eagle. And one reason the Eagle is the king of the birds is because of its purity. 

On the other hand, the vulture enjoys what is corrupt and rotten. In fact, the rottener a piece of meat, the better it is for the vulture; the smellier the meat, the better it is for the vulture. This is why the vulture is as “vulturous” as its name, without a future. No one likes to be identified with a vulture. For instance, if a man had a dream of the night that he saw a beautiful eagle flying over his head holding a gift towards him, it is seen as a powerful and wonderful dream to claim. But if he says that he saw a group of vultures flying over his head; that is a nightmare indeed. It would be something to bind and cast. When he wakes up from sleep, he would begin to pray aggressively: “I bind you satan! I set you on fire!” This is because the vulture is a curse. The vulture has a neck that grows thinner and thinner even though it feeds on large quantity of food. The vulture has rough feathers and a bald head. Its hair is always scattered because of corruption.

Beloved, this is what the corruption of iniquity can do. Iniquity corrupts destiny. Don’t allow your destiny to be corrupted by iniquity.

Remember this: Iniquity corrupts destiny.

ASSIGNMENTS:

1. Go through today’s message once again.

2. Ask God for the grace not to be corrupted in the world of corruption.

PRAYER: Lord, I ask that You deliver me from the defilements of this world. I receive the grace to please You with my life, Lord, in Jesus Name.
