Character

In The Ministry And In Family And Social Relationships A Person’S Character Is Of Extreme Importance Because It Paints A Picture Of His Or Her Reputation. Moreover An Individual’S Character Is An Important Factor In Determining How Successful One Becomes In Dealing With Others In The Ministry And In Other Aspects Of Human Relations. For Example A Person Who Has Various Talents Or Abilities; But Has A Bad Attitude Or Character May Be Successful For A Moment But May Not Be Able To Sustain It. The Renowned Bible Scholar D.L. Moody Makes A Great Correlation Between Character And Reputation. He Stated “If I Take Care Of My Character My Reputation Will Take Care Of Itself.” His Statement Makes Sense In Many Different Ways Because Your Reputation Is A By-Product Of Your Character. Even In The Natural World Bad Tarnished Or Rotten Seeds Cannot Bring About A Good Harvest Or Good Products. A Writer Once Said; “You Don’T Determine Your Destiny; Your Character Determines Your Destiny.” Therefore Character Is The Covenant Foundation Upon Which Great Futures Are Built. Jesus Was Speaking About This Interpretation In Matthew 7:15-20; He Stated: “...By Their Fruit You Shall Know Them.” So Developing A Christian God-Like Character That Gives Glory To His Name Is A Must. We Need To Cultivate And Develop God-Like Character Traits That Portray Us As His Children.
