TOPIC: FIVE BIBLICAL CURRENCIES THAT MAKES
LIFE COUNT 3 – – Hebrews 12:1-2 “Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth easily beset us and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despise the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.”
Over celebration of paper currency above all other biblical currencies has been the reason why too many people globally are suffering. Destinies of multitudes have been enslaved to the ‘paper called money’ hence, they have become errand boys and girls to money. Crime rate is daily increasing as a result of the love of money. No doubt, money is good but it cannot meet all your needs – 1Timothy 6:9-10
All our covenant fathers from nothing emerged as the envy of their world because of these biblical currencies they engaged. As a redeemed child of God, your case should be different from the rest of the world because, before this pandemic, God has already made a way out for us through scriptural provisions – Job 22:29, 1Cor 10:13, Job 5:22
THE CURRENCY THAT MAKES LIFE COUNT
3. THE CURRENCY OF CHARACTER
Character is the beauty of destiny. Beauty is useless without character. No matter how highly placed or how far you must have gone in life one second of character flaw is more than enough to bring you down. Skills, talents, gifts, superior academic qualifications and connections can take you up but it is character that will sustain you. You need both character and skill to sustain your destiny and privileged position – Psalms 78:72
Character is who you are in the dark when no one is watching you. Character is doing what is right when no one is supervising. Your future is buried in your character - Matthew 5:16, 12:33, 2Tim 2:19-22
Crises, challenges, wealth and position are the amplifier of human character – Esau sold his future for food and he wept bitterly in life – Hebrews 12:16-17
When you are in crises the real you is made manifest. Character is liken to a smoke that cannot be hidden or covered forever. Refuse to sell your birthright to the current hardship that is associated with this global pandemic because It will soon pass away like many others did. Do not character flaws to shut the doors of opportunities and destiny against you because charisma without character is disaster.
WHAT THEN IS CHARACTER?
A. Character is the commitment to a set of biblical values without compromise. Joseph refused Mrs Portiphar’s advances and chose to go the prison instead – Genesis 39:5-20
B. Character is the dedication to a set of biblical standards without wavering. Samson and Solomon wavered and their end was not too good. James 1:8
C. Character is the consistent effort to integrate your thoughts and words into actions through Bible-based moral convictions. Gehazi lost his glorious prophetic ministry to covetousness because of impatience and he died as a leper. 2Kings 5:20-27
Moses’ moral conviction made him denied being Pharaohs daughter’s son and chose to suffer affliction with God’s own children – Hebrews 11:24-26
BIBLICAL INGREDIENTS FOR BUILDING GODLY CHARACTER
A. GENUINE SALVATION IS YOUR FOUNDATION – Life outside Christ will be marred with character flaws – Psalms 11:3, 1Cor 3:12-14, Hebrews 3:4
B. CONSTANT RENEWAL OF THE MIND THROUGH STUDYING AND MEDITATION ON THE WORD – Romans 12:2
C. DISCONNECT FROM WRONG ASSOCIATION AND ASSOCIATE WITH GODLY PEOPLE – Proverbs 13:20, Psalms 1:1-3, 1Cor 15:33-34
D. BE DETERMINED TO WORK ON YOUR CHARACTER DAILY – Daniel 1:8
E. FLEE ALL APPEARANCES OF EVIL – 1Thessalonians 5:22, Genesis 39:12, 2Timothy 2:22
To be a man of integrity (morally upright and honest) is not a cheap talk especially in this world that is totally turned upside down with moral decadence taken over virtually all the various sectors of the world including religion, it requires a lot of sacrifice but if the price is paid it will show tomorrow – Daniel 1:8, 6:1-6, 25-28
Remember always that, heaven and hell are real, where you end is your choice
Today, in the Mighty Name Of Jesus Christ, I command divine enablement to live according to biblical standards to come upon you with proofs of unimaginable open doors of opportunities and supernatural prosperity – Daniel 1:8, 6:28, 2:48-49
SEE YOU AT THE TOPMOST TOP.
REMAIN EVER BLESSED.
JESUS IS LORD.
