I wish there was a quick fix, that one tablet that ends all the struggle and strife to be better, to develop a more godly and acceptable character. Just when we think that we have arrived at a level of growth and maturity, we suddenly realize that we haven't even started yet.
There's a way to go about it though, the Word is available. My first message as the NCCF Coordinator while in Oyo State was on Building Godly Character. The text was from 1 Timothy 4:12. The pathway to building Godly Character is outlined in verse 12. That Scripture says "Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in WORD, in CONVERSATION, in CHARITY, in SPIRIT, in FAITH, in PURITY." Those six items capitalized above are the pathways to building a character that lasts, one that pleases God and inspires men.
If you may, that is the tablet, the character tablet that starts you on the process and transforms you on and on. Through this tablet I've learnt to be sensitive to the needs of others, through this tablet I've gained wisdom on how to care, lead, inspire, and mentor others. This tablet has taught me to respect and honor... (I'm still in the process... The path is unending...)
Start taking this six-dimensional tablet today and see what difference it makes in your life. It's not a one time fix but a constant medication for your life.
ACTION POINT
1. Expose yourself to the Word. Let the light of the Word shine in the areas of your character flaws.
Prayer:
Lord, as I begin to engage in the process of character building, let the process yield bountiful results in Jesus Name.
Grow in Grace,
Oluwatobi Adesanya
