The Topic of Seeds of Destiny Devotional for Today 6th August 2024 Is “Character Infirmity”
Scripture: Exodus 15:11.
Who is like unto thee, O Lord, among the gods? who is like thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders?
Thought for The Day: When a person has one identity in church and another outside the church, such a person has character infirmity.
Our anchor Scripture reveals the song Moses sang when the children of Israel crossed the Red Sea.
Exodus 15:11 says,
Who is like unto thee, O Lord, among the gods? who is like thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders?
From this Scripture, it is clear that if it must be glorious, it must happen on the platform of holiness. Holiness is a platform for gloriousness.
So, there is an irretrievable connection between glory and character. No one can see the “gloriousness” of God except they operate in the holiness of God.
So, there is a need to know what character is all about.
Now, what is character?
Character is existing with a life that is open
A man of character lives an open life like an opened book.
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.
Character means a life that is open.
As a man of 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. Who you are among the people of God is who you are among the people of the world.
When a person has one identity in church and another outside the church, such a person has character infirmity.
You see, just as we have bodily infirmity, we also have character infirmity. It is character deficiency or character failure. And character infirmity is worse than bodily infirmity.
If your life is not open, if you have double-faced identity like Jacob, if your life is not straight-forward; then you have character infirmity.
Today, I decree that every form of character infirmity in your life is healed, in Jesus’ Name.
Remember this: When a person has one identity in church and another outside of church, such a person has character infirmity.
ASSIGNMENT:
1. Make up your mind to be a person of quality and positive character.
2. By all means, avoid character infirmity. Ask God for the grace to remain pure and upright always.
PRAYER: Lord, I thank You for Your Word to me today. I receive the grace to live upright, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.
