Greetings in the name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ! I am pleased to share the word of life which is aimed at growing our faith in the Lord, as well as shaping our personality and character, as a body of Christ. The title of my message is: " INVEST IN YOUR PERSONALITY".
The Bible says, " And he said to them, " Take care, and be on your guard against all covetousness, for one's life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions. " ( Luke 12:15 ESV). The Lord Jesus's admonition in the scripture above lets us know that the key thing in life ins't the craze or pursuit for material possession, because life is not defined by what you have, but by who you are.
This is the reason you must invest in your personality. Who you are inside, the quality of your personality- that's what counts, not the abundance of your material possessions!
Consciously invest in yourself. Invest in your mind and in your character. ( Romans 12:1-2).
The Bible also says, " Seek ye fisrt the kingdom of God and its righteousness and all these other things will be added unto you. ( Matthew 6:33).
We have to focus more on enhancing and shaping our personality, rather than focusing more on material possessions.
When you build your personality to become a man or woman of substance and character, your greatness in life will be inevitable; you will surely have the things that others run after.
If a man has invested in his personality to be great inside, no matter what he may amass in terms of material possessions they will surely fade away.
The scripture says, " Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal.
For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." ( Matthew 6:19-21).
Instead, let us invest in our personality by feeding our spirits with the right word of God. The Bible also says, " And now I commend you to God and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up and to give you the inheritance among all those who are sanctified." ( Acts 20:32).
The word of God is able to build our character and personality, so that we may become people of note.So, make the choice today to work on " being something" and not on " having anything." In this regard the first material you must begin to consciously digest into your spirit is the Word of God.
Meditating on it will give you " good success"( Joshua 1:8).
That means you will prosper in all your endeavors. Also, get interested in educative and informative materials that will improve your mind.
If you are a student in school, don't join the crowd of hustlers, be committed to improving your spirit and your mind!
That way, you are setting your sail for a glorious future. However, let me hasten to mention that it is not bad to also invest in material possessions, but we must balance our lives by investing in our personalities and character as well, so that we may have divine wisdom to manage both spiritual and physical material possessions.
Many times people who focus more on material possessions and neglect their personality and character, do fall and fail in life, due to fame and pride as well as physical and material lust. ( Galatians 5:15-23, Colossians 3:5-8). Be committed to improving your character by building yourself with the right and necessary materials.
Remember,when you are great inside, nothing will stop that greatness from manifesting on the outside.
Don't forget that the word also says" Little children, you are from God and have overcome them, for he who is in you is greater than he who is in the world . ( 1 John 4:4).
I also encourage you to read the whole chapter of Psalm 73:1-28, it will enlighten and open your spiritual eyes to see beyond the physical and material world.( 2 Corinthians 4:17-18).
Once again I urge you to invest more in your personality and character, in order to achieve and fulfill God's divine purpose and plan for your life!
A certain writer called Dwight L. Moody said, "Character is what you are in the dark". Balance your act and character and be real and truthful all the time, before man and God.
God sees every detail of your life, including your spiritual abd physical nakedness. ( Hebrews 4:13, Psalm 139:1-14). "Let us examine ourselves...!"(2 Corinthians 13:5-6).
Have a productive and fruitful life!
May God richly bless you all!
