TOPIC: CHARACTER – A CAPITAL REQUIREMENT FOR EMPLOYMENT
SCRIPTURE: And the Lord said unto her, Two nations are in thy womb, and two manner of people shall be separated from thy bowels; and the one people shall be stronger than the other people; and the elder shall serve the younger. GENESIS 25:23.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Your character is a capital requirement for employment. A person cannot matter if he has no manners.
Sometime ago, I was in London, during an economic recession. I picked an interest in a particular magazine where I read about the collapse of various financial institutions around the world.
A man shockingly pointed out that “Part of the reason for the collapse of many of those corporations was character bankruptcy.” He said that most of the presidents and other top management of those organizations were engaged in practices that were unethical. So, the organisations collapsed as a result of bankruptcy of character.
Then he continued, “A time will come shortly when what will be used to employ people is not intelligence quotient, or skill or expertise. Character will be first measured before any other thing is considered.”
Beloved, this has clearly demonstrated how crucial character is to our life and destiny. People are separated from the womb because of their manners or character (Genesis 25:23). You do not matter without manners.
Your character is a capital requirement for employment. A person cannot matter if he has no manners. The extent of your manners determines the extent to which you will matter. Esau did not matter because he had no manners.
Beloved, your manners is more important than your money. And your manners determine your meaning. Your manners determine your meaning in this world and in the world to come. Therefore, give attention to your manners.
REMEMBER THIS: Your character is a capital requirement for employment. A person cannot matter if he has no manners.
