A DOUBLE LIFE DOUBLES YOUR SORROWS

A DOUBLE LIFE DOUBLES YOUR SORROWS
PSALM 51:1-19
A former British royal Air force employee has returned a history book to the Malta public library 42 years after he borrowed it and he was rewarded with a cup of coffee. Emie Roscouet, a resident of the channel Islands, packed the book when he left Malta in June 1962 and returned it when his wife gave him a holiday to Malta as his 60th birthday present. He said, “My conscience pricked me all the time and I decided to restitute.” He was actually expecting a fine, but instead he was given a cup of coffee to encourage others to return overdue books.

Proverbs 11:1 says “a false balance is an abomination unto God, but a just weight is his delight.” Try and make your life and daily activities just and right. Return whatever does not belong to you. Pay back whatever you owe. Work for your pay. Stop wasting your official hours, pay your employees, your prosperity is tied to your living right. Don’t allow the devil to lay hold on whatever he can to hinder your prayers and the work of God.

Your success is tied to your character, because your enemy the devil is a formidable accuser looking for every loophole to block you from prospering. Living a double life will slow down your progress by half and double your sorrows. Fight to retain a good name. John Morely said, “no man can climb beyond the limitations of his character. Gehazi’s character limited him.

Pursue good daily wherever you. Evangelize your character before seeking for charisma. Philip Brooks  said, “a man who lives right and is right, has more power in his silence than another has by his words.” Drop that wrong relationship. Live so that your friends can defend you, but never have to do so. Do not forget that without holiness, no man can see God. It is hard to climb high when your character is in question.
Prayer
Lord, purge my character to shine as your light as I go out every day of my life, Amen
