The Profit Of Godly Character

TOPIC: THE PROFIT OF GODLY CHARACTER

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. He shall receive the blessing from the LORD, and righteousness from the God of his salvation.

Psalm 24:3–5

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: People lose their destiny when their character is out of place.

Every ambassador representing his or her country models the ideals and values of their country; they shy away from activities that would put their country in a bad light. We are heaven’s representatives on earth, and we must be seen to be representing heaven accordingly. Our letter of credence as ambassadors of Christ is inked with the Blood of Jesus. The beauty of our ambassadorial duties is expressed in godly character (2Corinthians 5:20).

In Psalm 24:3-5, the Scripture asks a very important question: Who shall ascend into the hill of the Lord? Or who shall stand in his holy place? The answer is clear: He that has clean hands and a pure heart, who has not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully.  He shall receive the blessing from the Lord, and righteousness from the God of his salvation.

When we talk about godly character, many people think the only objective is to escape hell and make heaven. Yes, that is the ultimate objective, but there are many things that walking in godly character will do for you in this world long before your appearance in eternity.

Now, what are the benefits or profits of walking in godly character?

1. Divine Presence

The one who walks in godly character or uprightness is an effortless carrier of Divine Presence – Psalm 24:3–5. Godly character positions the saint in the Presence of God. When you come around them, you feel God.

2. The Blessing of the Lord

Another benefit or profit of godly character is the Blessing of the Lord. The way of uprightness is the way of blessedness – Psalm 1:1–3.

Job was an upright man who feared God, and he became the richest man in his days – Job 1:1.

Psalm 1:1-3 says, Blessed is the man who walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. And He shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.

God is not in short supply of blessings; He is only lacking faithful people. And it is the faithful man that will abound with blessings (Proverbs 28:20).

3. The Favour of the Lord

A person of character attracts favour. A person without character will lose favour – Proverbs 16:7.

The profit of godly character includes the favor of the Lord. Esther had favour with God and favor with man as she displayed the godly character of contentment –Esther 2:15.

Beloved, make it easy for God to promote you. God is looking for whom to lift, but many people have made it difficult for God because of their crookedness.

4. Spiritual Authority and Boldness

Another benefit or profit of godly character is spiritual authority and boldness.

One of the ways to secure the audacity of faith is the maintenance of uprightness in life. Uprightness sustains boldness and authority in the spirit – Proverbs 28:1.

Jesus could boldly say in John 14:30, “The prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me” because His godly character was unparalleled.

People lose their destiny when their character is out of place.

Joseph refused to compromise and eventually fulfilled the vision he saw as a boy. Daniel fulfilled destiny because he refused to defile himself (Daniel 1:8).

Beloved, your destiny is anchored on your character. Your character defines your destiny. Be a person of quality character.

Remember This: People lose their destiny when their character is out of place.

ASSIGNMENT(S)
