Topic: Distinguished By Character
You can be in the same environment and not have the same attainment. It is standards that make people stand out.
The lack of standards is the reason why many people cannot stand out in life.

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

DAY: People are
distinguished by character and there is no character without discipline.
Sometime ago, I heard
the testimony of a lady who was born a twin; she has a twin sister. She said
while she and her twin sister were growing up, she was actively and
passionately taking up responsibilities, doing the chores like cleaning dishes,
washing clothes, etc. but her twin sister was not. Eventually, when they grew
up, they were distinguished by their character – the lady in question became
the chief executive officer of a major financial institution but the other one
lives an insignificant and inconsequential life. Imagine that! They are products
of the same conception but they don’t have the same future.

Beloved, you can be in
the same church with other people and not have the same positive change they
experience. You can be in the same environment and not have the same
attainment. It is standards that make people stand out. The lack of standards
is the reason why many people cannot stand out in life. It is manners that make
people matter. If we do not have the same manner, we cannot matter at the same
level. How we live today determines where we end tomorrow.

The Bible says, two
manner of people shall be separated (Distinguished)…. (Genesis 25:23). Jacob
was separated from Esau by character, Daniel was separated from the other vice
presidents in Babylon by character (Daniel 6:1-4), and Esther was distinguished
from the other virgins who came for the beauty contest in the Persian Empire by
character (Esther 2:15); the other virgins combined virginity with vanity but
Esther could not accommodate vanity.

So, people are
distinguished by character and there is no character without discipline.
Character is the key to distinction or excellence in life, and not certificate
or ethnicity.

QUOTE: It is also important to uphold godly character
because we live in a time when the dividing line between the church and the
world has disappeared. Culled from “WHO ARE YOU?” by Dr Paul Enenche.
