A man or a woman of Godly character lives a great legacy behind when they die. We all face similar temptations but we choose how to respond and react,either to go for the kill or consider the consequences of our actions.
HOW DO WE DEVELOP GODLY CHARACTER'S
1) Fear of the Lord. (Proverbs 3:5-8)
The fear of the Lord is what will lead us to having a Godly character in us. To stand firm in Him. Let's have Godly standards as His beloved children.
2) By hiding the word of God in our hearts all the times (Psalm 119:9-11). Let's be filled with the word of God in our hearts and do what it expects of us as His children.
3) Choices.
Developing our character is always a choice we make. We have character flaws, but each of us should make deliberate efforts to work on our characters. (Make bad choices). When we take shortcuts; they will cut us short instead and destroy us completely.
4) The choice of people whom we hang out with as friends. One writer said "Show me the friends and I will tell you who you are"...This is very true in our lives for light and darkness cannot walk together. Gets Godly Bible believing people. Partner with your fellow Christians.
5) Commitment and Dedication to God's work and His ways.
God is looking for people who will say" I stand to be counted on this worthwhile mission of living in integrity and winning souls for Him even if it means standing alone. Joshua challenged the children of Israel to choose whom to serve....but as for him and his family he they were dedicated to serve the Living GOD. Others examples includes JOSEPH and PHOTIPHAR'S WIFE, Daniel in the lion's den, Shadrack, Meshark and Abedinego. I really love the movie" The GLADIATOR"....It talks about this too.
Today, we have role models in our midst, men and women of GOD who walks daily in integrity e.g. world known neurosurgeon Ben CARSON, the late mother TERESSA e.t.c. My brothers and sisters let us be dedicated to things that are of noble cause in our lives and the lives of other people. Let's remember that aggravation and challenges that we normally go through as God's children is what forms the Godly characters in us. It reflects maturity in GOD and the faith that we have in Him. (Romans 5:3)...Don't be conformed in to the patterns of this world e.g., don't do drugs the will destroy you and your life in due season, don’t murder, fornicate, commit adultery, commit suicide e.g. because if you do so there will always be some consequences to be faced individually. Don't make decisions that are against GOD'S perfect will in you.
It is in this 21st century that we are witnessing on daily basis the degradation of moral standards among our youth and children and thus affecting family units. Yet, in decisive moments and times like this, it is always wise to pray for our families and nations as well. Weak family units translate into a weak nation and vice versa.
For those of you who have gone back to the world or backslidden...I have some good news for you today! God is a God of second chance!!!A righteous man may fall seven times but he rises up against the obstacles in his or her life. We should beware of our strengths. Be careful when we think you are strong in your faith...it can be our own doing sometimes. Always depend upon GOD even when you thing you are doing great salvation wise. Remember where we are strong is where we fail sometimes for devil knows this too well. Our strengths can become our weakness if we are not careful. We should always know GOD IS A HOLY GOD and we ought to walk in holiness as He is.
Remember that GODLY character in a man never dies. Character ensures the longevity of your career, vocation, ministry, family, and your whole self. Let us choose to have a Godly character in us and be filled with the fear of GOD which is the beginning of wisdom. Let's be Godly role models to others as we serve Christ in His vineyard. Have Godly character in you forever....AMEN
GOD BLESS YOU MIGHTILY.
