Trees don't grow in a day, neither does character. As a matter of fact, it's been said that it takes about 21 days to form a (new) habit. This shows the place of and importance of time and process, this also has its place in the Pursuit of a Character of godliness. David didn't suddenly grow to become a man after God's own heart, Gideon didn't suddenly begin to manifest as the mighty man God called him. It took a process.
A Godly character is not the product of an event, it is a product of a process. A never ending process. One thing I've learned while being under the ministration of Apostle Joshua Selman for two days now; is never to be embarrassed by my flaws. The awareness of the flaws is the first step to liberation and deliverance. I've observed servants of God, men and women who are doing exploits in the Kingdom. There's one thing that announces itself apart from the anointing, it's their character. You may fall under the anointing while being ministered to, but what sticks with you is the depth of their character and how it weaves itself into the totaliity of what they represent.
You may rise and fall as you go along. But... Keep on keeping on, God is there to support you. Galatians 6:9 says "And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not."
Sometime ago God expressly imparted these words to me "One problem the devil has with believers is that he finds it difficult to keep them down, they always rise again". A balloon cannot sink inside water it will always float. Same with you, as long as you stay connected to God and FULL (Inflated with) of His Presence, you will keep rising. Stick to the Process.... You are coming out on top.
Prayer:
Lord help me to stick to the process of godly character formation in Jesus Name.
Grow in Grace,
Oluwatobi Adesanya.
