Dunamis Seeds Of Destiny 22 January 2025 Devotional By Pastor Dr. Paul Enenche and Pastor Dr. Mrs. Becky Enenche Topic: Influence By Godly Character

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: One reason why many Christians are without influence is the bankruptcy of Godly character.

Seeds Of Destiny For Today 2024 MESSAGE:

It has been established that people of character are people of influence. People of character have influence with both men and God.

You see, one reason why many Christians are without influence is the bankruptcy of Godly character. Some Christians continue to shout in prayer without answers, others are mocked when they talk about Jesus to people. What they do is different from what they preach.This is why so many Christians have no influence. Show me a man or woman of character and I will show you a person of influence, influence with men and God.

What happened in the Persian Empire when King Ahasuerus put up a feast? Queen Vashti, his wife, also put up her own feast, as if it was a competition. During the king’s feast that lasted for one hundred and eighty (180) days, the king sent for the queen, but the queen refused to honour the king’s invitation. What an insult to the ego of this man!

It looked like her popularity, notoriety or fame entered her head and stole away her humility.

I asked myself the question, the ‘queenship’ she was proud about, who gave it to her? Who made her queen?’

The person who gave her the position and the name asked her to come but she refused. And so, she was banished from the throne.

Vashti lost influence over 120 provinces by the bankruptcy of character, while Esther gained influence by the display of character.

The lesson here is, refuse to lose influence in life; build your influence by upholding quality character.

Remember this: One reason why many Christians are without influence is the bankruptcy of Godly character.

ASSIGNMENT:

1. Make up your mind never to lose your influence in life.
2. Continue to maintain Godly character to scale higher heights in life.

PRAYER: Father, make me a person of impact and influence. Help me with the grace to maintain Godly character Lord, in Jesus’ Name.
