CHARISMA and CHARACTER: SIGNALS FRUITFULNESS AND MATURITY IN THE SPIRIT!
“But the FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, 23 meekness, temperance: against such there is no law” Galatians 5:22-23.
The essence of enacting the CHARISMA and CHARACTER in the life of every achiever with God and of God, should be a paramount focus check in our journey of life and grace in Christ Jesus stead; this is of paramount importance, if we are to derive fully, the meaningful and purposeful FULNESS in God’s BLESSEDNESS concerning us in LIFE and GODLY LIVING, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.
For any MINISTERIAL CHARISMA without the corresponding CHARACTER breeds arrogance, pride and possibly success in disguise – which is failure; and any MINISTERIAL CHARACTER without CHARISMA breeds a form of religion that is dogmatic, sectarianism, sectionalised and it’s without the inspiration, revelation and empowerment of the graciousnesss and gracefulness that defines God’s perspective and principle in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.
And by the acts and operations of the Holy Spirit, one can possibly acquire and enact fully – the synergy of FRUITFULNESS and MATURITY that’s in the making of the Believer’s in Christ Jesus, as are given in their rights and privileges in Redemption. For FRUITFULNESS is as a result of SPIRITUAL fruit and spiritual gifts enabling, while MATURITY is as a result of the MINISTERIAL gifts 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.
SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.
SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:
“But the MANIFESTATION of the Spirit is given to every man to PROFIT withal. 8 For to one is GIVEN by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit; 9 to another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit; 10 to another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues: 11 but all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, DIVIDING to every man SEVERALLY as he will” 1 Corinthians 12:7-12.
“For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office: 5 so we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another. 6 Having then GIFTS differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith; 7 or ministry, let us wait on our ministering: or he that teacheth, on teaching; 8 or he that exhorteth, on exhortation: he that giveth, let him do it with simplicity; he that ruleth, with diligence; he that sheweth mercy, with cheerfulness” Romans 12:4-8.
“And he GAVE SOME, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; 12 for THE PERFECTING of the saints, for THE WORK of the ministry, for THE EDIFYING of the body of Christ: 13 till we all come in THE UNITY of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ: 14 that we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; 15 but speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ: 16 from whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love” Ephesians 4:11-16.
