God has a spiritual calendar for the world and the church. In every university, the senate decides the academic calendar and every lecturer follows suit despite his position or rank. Similarly, God has a program for His church and His people and our ability to key in to what He wants determines whether He will approve our lives and add us to the list of the heroes of faith.
Who are the heroes of faith?
- They are men that finish well
- They are men that are passionate about the will of God and are ready to do God’s will even though it will cost them their lives
- They are men that endure hardness
4. They are men and women that God and heaven have accepted their personality.
God’s agenda for the now is that God is looking for men and women who will represent Him fully. We are all students in God’s program and He’s watching out for the right personality to be formed in us before He can use us. Heroes of faith are men and women who put their lives on the line to represent God fully. God is looking for foot soldiers that will stand out for him and it begins with us having the right personality. God has a better respect for us before our offering; so our lives must be presentable first before God will receive anything from us.
The personality that is approved by God
- A predictable personality
- An accountable personality
- A transparent personality
- An acceptable personality
- A personality that has no personal agenda but following God
Serving a delicious food in a dirty plate is contamination. Similarly, God will not use a contaminated vessel. All through the Scriptures, we find that men and women whom God used were first sanctified. Before God will use you, your personality must be in order. Once you start running into error, you find out that you are losing God’s direction; it simply tells you that something has gone wrong with your personality.
It is important for you not to wait till you are rejected by God and then you start making adjustment so it its better you begin with processing your personality until it is approved by heaven. Most men who are rejected by God don’t usually find their way back. Prophet Samuel made the mistake of assumption in his walk with God and it almost cost his ministry. 1 Samuel 16:1-7. Also, King Saul lost his leadership position because of his inappropriate personality. 1 Samuel 15:22. When you study Abel and Cain when they offered sacrifices to God, you realize that God had respect for them first before He looked at their offerings.
Further Scriptures: Philippians 1:21, Daniel 1:4-5, Genesis 4:4-5, 2 Timothy 2:20-21, Matthew 24:13-15, 24-25, 45-46
Prayer Line: O lord process my life until my personality is approved by you in the name of Jesus! Amen!
