Your Character And Your Capacity

TOPIC: YOUR CHARACTER AND YOUR CAPACITY

SCRIPTURE: In all this Job sinned not, nor charged God foolishly. Job 1:22.

THOUGHT: You cannot have the character of a beetle and be given the capacity of a truck. Godly character has been identified as a key to a productive life and impactful destiny. Men of impact are men of solid or godly character. It takes godly character to go up in life. Now, one thing to know about character is, Character determines capacity. This means, your character determines the responsibility that God can hand to you. You cannot have the character of a beetle and be given the capacity of a truck. You cannot have the character of a dog and be given the capacity of a lion. You cannot have the character of a vulture and be given the capacity of an eagle. So, your character determines your capacity; your character determines your responsibility. It will interest you to know that it was when the character of Jacob changed that his capacity also changed. This means that your capacity cannot be enlarged until your character is changed. You can’t become who you are meant to become until you let go of who you used to be. Today, there are many people who God can do nothing with because of the kind of character they have. They might have seen visions of how God will use them mightily or of how much money they are going to make for the kingdom of God; but their visions will end as nightmares or day dreaming until their negative character changes.

There are people who will arrive eternity without entering chapter one of the book of their destiny. There are people who will meet Jehovah and He will tell them that they didn’t scratch the surface of what they were called to achieve on earth. This is because they didn’t have the character that matches their destiny. How can you have the anointing of an apostle and you have the character of a criminal? Beloved, God is saying that the anointing, or the grace is available, but you need the matching character to become what you are meant to be.

Remember this: You cannot have the character of a beetle and be given the capacity of a truck.

ASSIGNMENT:

1. Ask God for the grace to grow deeper godly character so you can grow in capacity and responsibility.
2. Remain focused in developing godly character.

PRAYER: Father, I thank You for showing me the place of character in developing capacity. I ask that You help me to develop Godly character, LORD, in Jesus’ Name.
