LIFTING THROUGH UPRIGHTNESS
Prov 14:34
34 Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people.
KJV
Character failure is synonymous with Destiny Delay.
Righteousness, our anchor scripture says, exalts a nation. Don't forget that the Bible says, speaking to Abraham that "I will make you a great Nation". (Gen. 12:1-2). A nation can also be an individual, not necessarily your country. There is a level of blessing you will command and you will be able to lend a Nation, automatically, that makes you a Nation.
To get to that level of becoming a nation, you must be upright in character. Abraham was obedient to the Lord. God called him out in Gen.12:1 and in verse 4 he departed. He was so obedient, no wonder he became a nation.
Uprightness in Character is like a parachute that will set you up on high. Let your yea be yea and your nay be nay. When you are accessed in that office, neighborhood, school, church, family e.t.c. what will be the testimony of the people around concerning your character?
Are you honest? Are you trustworthy? Do you keep sealed lips? Are you a talebearer? Do you slander? Do you look for short-cuts to collect money from that company when you are sent to make a purchase for the company? Are you always hot-tempered? What's your tolerant level? Is the opposite sex safe with you when you have the opportunity to be alone with Him/Her? And so many other characters.
Someone said,
Character is like a smoke, no matter how hard you try to cover it, it will escape to announce itself.
Your character speaks volumes of your personality. God is interested in your character and he needs it to determine your lifting.
