“A wife of noble character is her husband’s crown, but a disgraceful wife is like decay in his bones”. (Proverbs 12:4. NIV)
Folks, when your character is altered, your life is changed. For a follower of this inspiration, that character flop in your life, that terrible addiction in your life that make you a problem to your helpers; the Lord will alter and change it for godly traits and virtues in Jesus name. One of the greatest virtues of a christian couple is to have a noble character as it births peace and natural love within the home front.
In the words of Martin Luther king Jr. “I have a dream that my four children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the colour of their skin but by the content of their character. Folks, it is the content of your character that sustains and blossoms your marriage or relationship.
Friends, do you want to see heaven reigning and ruling in your home or relationship, you have to consciously learn to behave wisely with your spouse or partner. Character flop is the reason for broken marriages, divorce and poor living in today’s homes. When you behave well, you will be respected wherever you go. When you see a woman that can conveniently insult her husband or a man that is ready to boss his wife to coma or death; you know they both have positioned themselves that way by poor and foolish behaviour.
As Christian couples, you can’t build godly character in ease and calmness. It will take from you sacrifice, commitment to one another, patience, self-control, you will need to mute your tongue when upset and learn to be a person of few words. This is pertinent as character develops through your personal experience of various trials, cleared vision, inspired ambition and achieved success. Are you married or single in a relationship? Can your spouse or partner vouch for your actions when angry. Can your actions in wrath be predicted in the negative? Do you have a character flop? Repent today. Do you desire a modest and godly character to reign in your marriage or relationship? Then you must quit bad company and evil counsel, you must learn to say things the way they are and appear and desist from running down your spouse in public.
A close look at some of the elites and greats in the society, what you see is their self-worth as they tend to behave decently in public but are something else behind closed doors in character. A couple that must point others to Christ and be great in the eyes of God must therefore learn to behave well and wisely. Adopting the right behaviour earns you an opportunity for greatness and blessings from God. Be wise in character.
Prayer Lines: Father, work in and through me and consume every character flop in me by fire.
