DEFINE AND COLOUR YOUR LIFE WITH SPIRITUAL FRUIT: YOUR CHARACTER [SPIRITUAL FRUIT] IS WHAT WILL SUSTAIN AND MAINTAIN YOUR CHARISMA AND CHARISMATIC ATTRIBUTES!<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

“FINALLY, BRETHREN, whatsoever things are TRUE, whatsoever things are HONEST, whatsoever things are JUST, whatsoever things are PURE, whatsoever things are LOVELY, whatsoever things are of GOOD REPORT; if there be any VIRTUE, and if there be any PRAISE, THINK [MEDITATE] ON THESE THINGS”<\/em> Philippians 4:8.<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n

CHARISMA could be defined as the ability to attract, charm, and influence the people around you for a given cause in your Plan, Purpose and Pursuit. CHARISMA is often said to be a mysterious ineffable quality, you either have it or don’t have it. The term charisma (\/k\u0259\u02c8r\u026azm\u0259\/; pl. charismata, adj. charismatic) has two senses: COMPELLING ATTRACTIVENESS or CHARM that can inspire devotion in others; and, a DIVINELY CONFERRED power or talent to make you be what you wants to be in LIFE and GODLINESS.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
It must be noted that the sustainability of your CHARISMA or CHARISMATIC life in cause of time, is only in picture by the CHARACTER you exhibit in and through it. Otherwise it becomes a CARICATURE in every respect of manifestation and operations.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
CHARACTER – THE RESILIENT TEMPER – is define and applies to the aggregate of moral qualities by which a person is judged and examine 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 morality.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
And for the BELIEVER’S in Christ, our CHARISMATIC or CHARISMA life which is as a results of SPIRITUAL GIFTS and ENDOWMENT cum TALENTS are sustained [kept in checking] in the grace by the SPIRITUAL FRUIT – the CHARACTER – of the Holy Spirit that’s at work and in operation in us. It is the spiritual fruit ELEMENTS that formulate ones character and behavioural mannerisms, thereby ensuring that one is able to uphold, sustain and maintain any position with integrity and etiquette, in one’s charisma or charismatic endowment. Any lack of these sustainability and checking process by the character fruit, will consequently results to a caricature of one’s acts of displayed in charisma or charismatic attribute, which are – blindness, barrenness and unfruitfulness – to the reality and tangibility of the TRUTH in life and godly living in Christ Jesus stead.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
“And beside this, giving all diligence, ADD to your FAITH VIRTUE; and to virtue KNOWLEDGE; 6 and to knowledge TEMPERANCE; and to temperance PATIENCE; and to patience GODLINESS; 7 and to godliness BROTHERLY KINDNESS; and to brotherly kindness CHARITY. 8 For if THESE THINGS be in you, and ABOUND, they make you that ye shall NEITHER be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9 But he that LACKETH THESE THINGS is BLIND, and CANNOT SEE afar off, and hath FORGOTTEN that he was purged from his old sins. . .”<\/em> 2 Peter 1:5-11.<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
The elements that makes up the spiritual fruit ARE but not limited to these:<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
** Love (Charitable)<\/span><\/div>\n
** Joy<\/span><\/div>\n
** Peace<\/span><\/div>\n
** Longsuffering (Endurance)<\/span><\/div>\n
** Gentleness<\/span><\/div>\n
** Goodness (Virtue)<\/span><\/div>\n
** Faith (Faithfulness)<\/span><\/div>\n
** Meekness<\/span><\/div>\n
** Temperance (Self Control)<\/span><\/div>\n
** Patience<\/span><\/div>\n
** Brotherly Kindness<\/span><\/div>\n
** godliness<\/span><\/div>\n
** Honesty<\/span><\/div>\n
** Purity<\/span><\/div>\n
** faithfulness<\/span><\/div>\n
** truth<\/span><\/div>\n
** reverential fear of God<\/span><\/div>\n
** . . . And such like the more . . .<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
And where these elements that makes up the – SPIRITUAL FRUIT (CHARACTER) – abound more and more, one can be able to live and ensure sustainability in grace with the endowed CHARISMA placements; and then, to do life and godliness, without making excuses or explaining reasons to any, just as Jesus did exhibited in humanity for our example as written in the Holy Writ of 1 Peter 2:21-25.<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Beloved in Christ Jesus, know for sure and full well that you are the CUSTODIAN of your happiness in all aspects of doing life and living godly. Therefore, make your CHARISMA and CHARISMATIC GIFTS and TALENTED ENDOWMENT be sustainable with an unquestionable CHARACTER. CHARISMA is good and great and it takes you to heights in any field and endeavour in life when it’s graciously and gracefully in operative. It helps to evolve your uniqueness in life from others. But always remember in cause and course of doing life and living godly that ONLY your CHARACTER, makes you be truly you to WORTH the living after all.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
I SAY THEN – DEFINE AND COLOUR YOUR LIFE WITH SPIRITUAL FRUIT – FOR YOUR CHARACTER IS THE SUSTAINABLE SPIRITUAL FRUIT – FOR YOUR CHARISMA AND CHARISMATIC ATTRIBUTES TO BE OF WORTH.<\/span><\/div>\n
