PRAYER OR CHARACTER ?


Hello everyone,E ku deede iwoyio.
Many times, we pray, fast and bind demons that don’t exist when our real demons are just our greatly flawed character. Many have insulted people that were divinely placed and orchestrated to help them fulfill their destiny. Some people are keeping malice with their destiny helpers. Abigail Van Buren said: “The best index to a person’s character is how he treats people who can’t do him any good, and how he treats people who can’t fight back.”What we often call our destiny is truly our character, and since that character can change, then destiny can be altered. Character is destiny. Treat people with respect. Treat strangers with courtesy. Never look down on anybody. Anyone can be used to change your story. I felt compelled to share an extract of a fantastic, but a rather long piece. This write-up is not meant to trivialize prayers in any way. I have observed that many people take the character for granted, while overzealously tuning on into their spiritual mode. I think we are missing out something. You must change and learn to treat people with courtesy. That Shulamite woman must have been praying for a child all through her life. She eventually got her much-awaited miracle. Assuming she wasn’t hospitable, she would have missed a critical miracle. What do you have inside of you? Is it hate or love? Violence or peace? Death or life? Capacity to build or capacity to destroy? Team spirit or pull down? Think about it! It may impact you as well as your association. 
We celebrate with you if you were born in September. Wishing you happiness today and always. Have a wonderful September everybody!
