CHARACTER TRAITS

Good Morning, Mighty Woman of God!

I thank God for each of you daily, and pray that you have had and are still having a learning and growing experience since you have been reading my blog spot.

For this reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; and to godliness, brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness, love.  For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. . . . . For if you do these things, you will never fall, and you will receive a rich welcome into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. (2Peter 5-8, 10).

Woman of God, you should have so much faith in God, that it brings about the goodness in your character.  The goodness in your character should bring about more knowledge of who Christ is and should be in your daily life.  Self-control can be obtained by knowledge.  You should strive to the point in your life where your gain so much knowledge through the Word of God that you will have self-control.  Self-control when people or circumstances in your life takes a different route than you planned.  With this self-control (able to control your emotions), you will preserver through life's difficult situations.  The obstacles that Satan puts in your path to destroy your character.  Although the enemy has put so many obstacles in your life you will preserver through them because of the godliness that you have developed.  That godliness brings about the brotherly kindness in you and ultimately produces the love that you have for yourself and people.  That love is the primarily reason for your everyday living.

If you are equipped with those characteristics in your every being you will be effective and productive when it comes to in your knowledge of Christ.  You will be effective and productive in your prayer life, and spiritual well-being.  You cannot fail with those characteristics because it will bring about the presence of the Holy Spirit.  With the presence of the Holy Spirit in your everyday life there is no failure.  There is no failure in Christ.  You should desire each one of those character traits in you.  In doing so, you work on one at a time.  This is definitely a process but attainable.  Set goals in your life to work on each of those traits and before you even realize it; you will be so powerful in Christ Jesus.  I say the word powerful, because you will need all the power and strength to fight the enemy and any obstacles that he will put in your path.  This lesson may be a little deep for some of you but I promise you that you can grow spiritually if you work hard at attaining those character traits.  LET UP PRAY!

Heavenly Father, we praise and honor you today.  Lord that you give me strength and wisdom as to obtaining the character traits that I should have to become effective in this world and see you in the eternal kingdom.  Lord, I thank you for spiritual growth daily, and I ask you to remove anything in me that you cannot use for your glory.  I marvel you and glorify your holy name, in Jesus name, Amen.
