Character

Jesus finished what He was sent to do by the Father and one of the reasons was because He knew who He was and He had the character to accomplish His purpose. Though He lived and walked on the face of this earth, He was able to live a Holy and blameless life. Without maintaining that character, He would not have been able to accomplish His purpose. The devil tried to tempt Him by attacking His identity when he said “If you are the Son of God, command that these stones become bread.” Jesus knew who He was and thus He had an answer to overcome this temptation. With every temptation Jesus knew how to overcome because He knew who He was and the character He needed to have to accomplish His purpose.

Abraham our father of faith was a man who learned to walk in obedience to the voice of God even when it did not make sense. He took off to go to a land that God would show him and when God told him to sacrifice his son he was willing to do it. Moses is describes as the meekest man above all the men that lived. God used him to demonstrate his mighty power and to lead the children of Israel out of captivity into the Promised Land but even with all that Moses stayed meek.
Think about David, or the prophet Elijah… all this men had a kingdom character and God was able to use them. Jesus displayed all this attributes and more and not only did He display them, He taught His disciples to do the same and He commanded us to not only do the same but teach others also.

Do you have a kingdom character to carry you to the end of fulfilling your God given mandate? Many are those who have missed out on what God has for them because they did not cultivate the kingdom character to carry that which God has for them. As it is said, talent can take you far but it is character that will keep you there. Remember Jesus said you will know them by their fruits!
