Sometimes You Need CHARACTER, Not Prayer.

No matter how we pray, attitude has its place.
This is the strong truth a lot of Christians fail to
understand.
Prayer is good, but prayer alone isn't the answer to
everything.
Somewhere in the scriptures, the Bible says
that before we pray, he will answer..
You know why?
Because we've exhibited attitudes that will
attract miracles..

God is a spirit, and for him to bless you, he
needs to pass through a man.

If you lack good relationships with people, you'll hardly be blessed.
God works with relationships. Therefore endeavour to develop positive interpersonal relationships and not the toxic relationships that repels.
You must learn to treat people with courtesy, with respect, with dignity.

The Shunammite woman must have been
praying for a child all through her life.

Though she was a prominent woman and societal influence here and there and very wealthy, yet she was barren. She had money that could not give her a child. Something was greatly missing that only attitude could provide.

You know what made her have a child?
She took care of Elisha, the prophetof God.
She respected him,
she was hospitable,
she was
kind,
she had character!

Elisha, spoke into her womb and in a year, she
had a child.

Assuming she wasn't hospitable?
Polite, and kind?
She would've still been praying and fasting,
binding and casting demons that don't exist, and yet still barren.

Sometimes, we are our demons. Our attitudes
are our destiny killers.
Some of you have insulted people that were
divinely orchestrated to help you..
Some of you are keeping malice with your
destiny helpers..
Some of you are still suffering, not because you lack talent but because you lack character.

Talent is attractive.
Anyone can be talented, but character is a
proof of discipline. A proof of responsibility.
Character sustains the attraction that talent gives you.

Character is a virtue, and sometimes what we call FAVOUR is triggered by this virtue.

Mary was a Virgin.
She had virtue!
Which attracted the favour of being the mother
of the Saviour of the world!!
In all thy getting, get character..
Respect people.

Treat strangers with courtesy..
Be kind..

Your Angel won't always come like an Angel..
Therefore do not look down on nobody as God can change the destiny of anyone suddenly. Psalm 126.

It was the maid of Naaman, that told him where to get solutions to his health issues. Naaman was a great man but had leprosy. He must have visited the greatest
hospitals in the world as of that time. Who
would've ever thought that the solution to his
problem was in the mouth of his maid?

Sometimes the solutions to our challenges in life are trapped in the mouths of mere people we disdain and we are
not humble enough to see it.

Prayer is not all. Build relationships. God will use any person.
Respect people.
Be hospitable.
Be kind.
Be humble.
May the Lord open your eyes to identify your destiny helpers in Jesus mighty name, Amen.
