SEEDS OF DESTINY 6th July 2025 – SOD Daily Devotional
TOPIC: QUALITY CHARACTER – A LADDER TO AUTHORITY
SCRIPTURE: Now when the turn of Esther, the daughter of Abihail the uncle of Mordecai, who had taken her for his daughter, was come to go in unto the king, she required nothing but what Hegai the king’s chamberlain, the keeper of the women, appointed. And Esther obtained favour in the sight of all them that looked upon her. Esther 2:15
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Character has a higher selling power than connection.
It has been confirmed that every scriptural provision is targeted at human profit. Whatever God says is because of what man will gain. God majorly does not say things for His own gains. Whatever He says is because of what man stands to gain.
So, if God says we should live in upright character, is there any gain for us? Yes! There are so many gains, but today, we shall be looking at one of the gains of living upright, and that is Authority
Scripture confirms that upright character catapults people into authority. To possess quality character is to be positioned in authority. Most people who gained authority in scripture, had it at the frequency of quality character, and most people who lost authority in scripture lost it by the absence of character.
Queen Esther was a perfect example of someone who was established in authority by the force of quality character. Esther gained the throne by character. In Esther 2:15, when the king Ahasuerus was looking for a replacement for queen Vashti, all the other virgins who came requested for what they desired, but Esther required nothing (Esther 2:15). That speaks about her character of contentment. That speaks about the absence of vanity; and that also speaks about self-control.
Esther was catapulted into authority by the character of contentment and self-control.
On the other hand, queen Vashti lost the throne at the frequency of character bankruptcy (Esther 1: 10-15). She was full of pride. She was rebellious towards her husband, the king, so she lost her position of authority and Esther took her place.
Anyone who lacks character can never maintain authority. Character sells higher than beauty. Character has a higher market value than beauty. When Abraham’s servant was looking for a wife for Isaac in Genesis 24:10-22, he did not say, “O Lord, as I stand by this well, let the most beautiful girl that I see, be the wife of Isaac.” No! Rather, character was his first requirement for choosing a wife for Isaac.
Character has a higher selling power than connection. Your uncle can give you his business card to present in an organization so you could be given a job, but can he manifest a good character for you? His business card may give you a job, but it is your character that will keep the job.
Beloved, it does not matter where you are in life today, if you have quality character, the sky is your starting point. The opposite is also true; it does not matter where a person is in life today, if character is lacking, a crash is inevitable.
Remember this: Character has a higher selling power than connection.
ASSIGNMENT (S):
Ask God for the grace to uphold quality character
Examine yourself; what is that bad character that can hinder you from fulfilling destiny? Do away with it.
Consistently spend time with God in order shape your character.
PRAYER: Lord, I receive the grace to consistently walk upright. Separate me from every negative tendency that may hinder me, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.
