Dunamis Seeds Of Destiny 7 October 2024 Devotional By Dr. Paul Enenche: The Necessity Of Godly Character
TOPIC: The Necessity Of Godly Character (Seeds Of Destiny 8 October 2024)
SCRIPTURE: And Moses said unto the Lord, Wherefore hast thou afflicted thy servant? and wherefore have I not found favour in thy sight, that thou layest the burden of all this people upon me? – Numbers 11:11.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: When the weight of authority is higher than the strength of character, a crash of destiny is inevitable.
Seeds Of Destiny For Today 2023 MESSAGE:
It has been established that it takes the strength of character to bear the weight of authority. One reason why Godly character is needed is that it takes Godly character to bear the weight and responsibility of authority.
This means, when the weight of authority is higher than the strength of character, a crash of destiny is inevitable. If someone carries or lifts a weight that is heavier than his strength, a physical bodily crash or breakdown is imminent.
So, when the weight of authority is heavier than the strength of character, destiny collapses. This was what happened to Samson. He got authority that he had no weight of character to sustain. His character couldn’t carry the authority he got, so, he crashed instantly.
This was what happened to Judas Iscariot also. He was made the keeper of the money in the Ministry of our Lord, Jesus Christ, but he had no character strength to sustain that responsibility. They made him the leader, but he was a thief on the inside. At the end of the day, he hanged himself because he did not have the strength of character to carry that weight of his authority and responsibility. What happened to Judas Iscariot was like making a thief a bank manager. He will soon be in jail because the “thievery” lifestyle in him would push him to becoming a thief.
When you make a thief a procurement officer, the chief financial officer (CFO) or the financial controller of an organisation, he will do some accounting fraud. He may escape for a while, but he would be sent to prison eventually.
Beloved, develop the right character to fulfil your destiny.
Remember this: When the weight of authority is higher than the strength of character, a crash of destiny is inevitable.

- Be determined to bear the responsibility of leadership by maintaining a strong character.
