CHARISMA and CHARACTER: SIGNALS FRUITFULNESS & MATURITY IN THE SPIRIT!
The essence of CHARISMA and CHARACTER in the achiever of God, should be a paramount focus check in our journey of life and grace; this is important, if we are derived the meaningful and purposeful FULNESS in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead concerning us in LIFE and GODLY LIVING.
For MINISTERIAL CHARISMA without corresponding CHARACTER breeds arrogance, pride and possibly success in disguise; and MINISTERIAL CHARACTER without CHARISMA breeds a form of religion that is dogmatic and without inspiration, revelation and empowerment of graciousness and gracefulness in God’s perspective.
And by the acts of the Holy Spirit, one can possibly acquire the synergy of fruitfulness and maturity. FRUITFULNESS as a result of spiritual fruit and spiritual gift enabling; and MATURITY is as a result of the ministerial gift enabling.
I pray God’s grace that’s made available to us by the blessed Holy Spirit will not be frustrated but be received in grace to give one the enabling to be FRUITFUL IN CHARACTER and be MATURED IN CHARISMA.
