SEEDS OF DESTINY MESSAGE FOR TODAY 16TH JULY 2025
In Exodus 15:11, after the children of Israel had crossed the Red Sea, Moses sang a song, ‘Who is like unto thee, O Lord, among the gods? who is like thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders?’.
Please take note that the scripture says, …glorious in holiness… So, there is glory in holiness. If something must be glorious, it must happen on the platform of holiness. The connection between glory and character is irretrievable. Nobody can see the gloriousness of God except he operates in the holiness of God. Nothing can be glorious without character.
Now, what is character? It is existence with a life that is open. A man of character lives an open life like an open book. This refers to the character of transparency. In Acts 24:16, Paul said, And herein do I exercise myself, to have always a conscience void of offence toward God, and toward men. As a man of quality character, who you are publicly is who you are privately. Who you are in church is who you are at home. Who you are in church is who you are in the office.
Please take note of these key thoughts.
1. Your character is more important than your reputation.
Your reputation is what people think of you, but your character is who you truly are. So, it is possible to have a positive reputation with a negative character. A wicked man may be smiling with everyone in his office, yet he is wicked to his wife, children and everyone around him. Reputation is what people struggle to maintain, but character flows unconsciously.
2. Character is the sum of a person’s choices.
Fitz Walter once said that character is a sum of a person’s choices. Beloved, what decision would you make if you found money that was not yours? That is your character. What would you do if a lady or a man freely gave herself/himself to you for the sin of immorality? That is your character.
Character is the sum of your choices. The choices you make in life are a product of your character. And until you change your choices, you have not changed your character.
Beloved, it is necessary to pay attention to character development because character determines destiny. To have a glorious destiny, you must have a holy character. Your future is at the mercy of your nature. Why was Esau not the carrier of the generational Blessing on the lineage of Abraham? His nature was a major hindrance to his future and inheritance.
Your character is the limit of your destiny. Your lifestyle determines your outcome. Who you are determines where you end. That is why they call us human beings not human doings. So, in all you do, ensure that you maintain quality character. Continue to work on your character because character is not a destination but a journey. You can be better today than you were yesterday.
Remember this: Your future is at the mercy of your nature.
ASSIGNMENT(S):
1. Ask God for mercy wherever you have missed it.
2. Deliberately continue to work on your character. You can still be better however good, and you can become good however bad.
PRAYER: Lord, I receive the grace to walk in righteousness. Let Jesus be my ultimate role model as I journey through this life, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.
