TOPIC: Dethroned By Character Bankruptcy (Seeds Of Destiny 29 October 2024)

SCRIPTURE: If it please the king, let there go a royal commandment from him, and let it be written among the laws of the Persians and the Medes, that it be not altered, That Vashti come no more before king Ahasuerus; and let the king give her royal estate unto another that is better than she. Esther 1:19

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: People lose their place in life and destiny because of bad character.

Seeds Of Destiny For Today 2023 MESSAGE:

Esther 1: 10-12, tells us a story about a Queen in the ancient Persian Empire. It is a story about the loss of a crown and place of authority at the frequency of bad character.
The life and story of Queen Vashti reflected the negative impact of bad character. She lost her throne and place of authority by the bankruptcy of character.

Now, what happened?

The king, Ahasuerus who was her husband, had a feast, and on the seventh day when his heart was merry with wine, he sent for his wife, the queen, to come and show herself and her beauty to the people. The king wanted to boast and showcase the beauty of his wife to the world. But the queen refused to honour the king’s invitation. She disobeyed the orders of the king.

Expectedly, the embarrassed king became extremely angry. At the end, a suggestion was made by the council of leaders in the king’s cabinet, and the queen, Vashti, was dethroned.
The people told the king, “If this disrespectful character penetrates the kingdom, all women will become rebellious towards their husbands”. (Esther1:17; Paraphrased).

The people made the king know that character was contagious. And so, Vashti was removed out of power, and Esther took her place.

You see, a person who lacks character can never maintain authority. Character sells higher than beauty. Your character has a higher market value than your beauty. Queen Vashti rose to the position of authority, maybe by her beauty, but the bankruptcy of character brought her down.
Beloved, negative character dethrones a person. People lose their places in life and destiny because of bad character. You cannot sustain good legacy in life by negative character. You cannot sustain authority in life with negative character. People lose privileges and opportunities in life at the frequency of negative character.

My counsel is: refuse to be like Vashti. Don’t lose your position at the frequency of negative character.

Remember this: People lose their places in life and destiny because of bad character.

ASSIGNMENT:

  1. By all means, deal with every trace of character deficiency in your life.
  2. Ask God for the grace to live a holy and righteous life.

PRAYER: Father, I ask that You deliver me from every form of negative character. I receive the grace to always maintain a godly character, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.
