CHARISMA could be defined as the ability to attract, charm, and influence the people around you for a given cause – Plans, Purposes and Pursuits. CHARISMA is often said to be a mysterious ineffable quality, you either have it or don’t have it. The term charisma (/kəˈrɪzmə/; pl. charismata, adj. charismatic) has two senses: COMPELLING ATTRACTIVENESS or CHARM that can inspire devotion in others; also, a DIVINELY CONFERRED power or talent to make you be what you want to be in LIFE and GODLINESS.
It must be noted that the sustainability of your CHARISMA or CHARISMATIC life, is only in pictures by the CHARACTER you exhibit in and through it. Otherwise, it becomes a CARICATURE in every respect of manifestation and operations.
CHARACTER – THE RESILIENT TEMPER – is defined and applies to the aggregate of moral qualities by which a person is judged and examined apart from intelligence, competence, or special talents. Strength of character personality applies to an aggregate of qualities that distinguish one as a person mentally and morally.
And for the BELIEVER’S in Christ, our CHARISMATIC or CHARISMA life which is as a result of SPIRITUAL GIFTS and ENDOWMENT cum TALENTS are sustained in grace by the SPIRITUAL FRUIT (Character) of the Holy Spirit that’s at work (operation) in us.
