TOPIC: GODLY CHARACTER II

TEXT: GALATIANS 5:25
If we [claim to] live by the [Holy] Spirit, we must also walk by the Spirit [with personal integrity, godly character, and moral courage, conduct empowered by the Holy Spirit]. AMPV

It is not enough to be aware that the Holy Spirit resides in you; there is the need to live a life that expresses the manifest presence of his power. The believer is born of the Spirit and live in the Spirit therefore, He must also walk by the Spirit. His life must be consistent with the deeds of the Spirit of God.

A fountain do not produce fresh and salt water the same time. We must live in the light of who we are, learning to yield to the Spirit of God. It is important that you do not take lightly the essence of living a life that is worthy of your calling in Christ Jesus. You must look like what you are without deception.

You are a child of God and it is expected that you live by manifesting the fruits of the Spirit. Love, joy, patience, kindness, gentleness, meekness, goodness, faith and self control. You shouldn’t down play the essence of examining your life in the light of these fruits of the Spirit which you have in you. Therefore, you must walk in the light of each of them because you have the capacity in you.
Do not allow these fruits to be dormant in your life. Read the main text carefully. It says; You should walk by the Spirit with personal integrity, godly character and moral courage: these is made possible as you are empowered by the Holy Spirit.

Therefore, if there is anything you should desire as you walk with the Lord each day, it should be the ability to walk in love, walk in patience, walk in kindness, walk in faith, walk in goodness and to walk in self control. This should be your focus in prayer. Godly character can not be jettison. This is our outward identification as children of God which separate us from the polluted character in the world.

The Spirit of God in you is able to make you walk in Love towards all men. Be empowered by Him daily. Hallelujah!

PRAYER

Thank you Father. I become better in my love walk towards others. I do not excuse the necessity of godly character neither do I trivialise the need to live by expressing godly behaviour. I am found in patience, meekness, gentleness, kindness and self control in Jesus’ name. Amen
