YOUR CHARACTER, YOUR DESTINY
By DIGC 26 January 2021
Characterlessness is the secret of
destinylessness; where your character stops, there your destiny ends.
SCRIPTURE: There is none greater in
this house than I; neither hath he kept back any thing from me but thee,
because thou art his wife: how then can I do this great wickedness, and sin
against God? Genesis 39:9.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Characterlessness
is the secret of destinylessness; where your character stops, there your
destiny ends.
Sometime ago, I came across a study on
the fox. You know, in the Book of Judges Chapter 15, we see that Samson caught
three hundred foxes, tied them tail-to-tail, two-by-two, put fire on their
tails and sent them into the standing corn field of the Philistines, thus
setting it on fire.
When I read this story, I became curious
and asked, why the fox? In my research, I realized that the fox is a member of
the
dog family. There are other species of
the dog family like the domestic dog, the bear, the wolf, the jackal, the
dingo, etc. Of all the species of dogs in the dog family, it was the fox that
was chosen by Samson for the assignment.
Now, I discovered that the fox was
chosen because, apart from its distinctive intelligence compared to other
species, it also has integrity. The fox behaves like the eagle that would not
eat rotten things.
Beloved, if you must carry out an
assignment for the Kingdom of God and rise from the pit to the top, you need to
be solid in character. Characterlessness is the secret of destinylessness;
where your character stops, there your destiny ends. It does not matter the
potential you carry; where you lack character, there you also lack destiny.
Remember this: Characterlessness is
the secret of destinylessness; where your character stops, there your destiny
ends.

and showcase them to their world; to teach men that we can combine prosperity
and integrity; that we can combine holiness and happiness; that we can combine
