DEFINE AND COLOUR YOUR LIFE WITH SPIRITUAL FRUIT: YOUR CHARACTER [SPIRITUAL FRUIT] IS WHAT WILL SUSTAIN AND MAINTAIN YOUR CHARISMA AND CHARISMATIC ATTRIBUTES!\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\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\u00a0there be any VIRTUE, and if\u00a0there be any PRAISE, THINK [MEDITATE] ON\u00a0THESE THINGS”<\/i>\u00a0Philippians 4:8.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

CHARISMA could be defined as\u00a0the\u00a0ability to attract, charm, and influence\u00a0the\u00a0people around you for a given cause in your Plan,\u00a0Purpose\u00a0and Pursuit. CHARISMA is often said to be a mysterious ineffable quality; you either have it or\u00a0don’t\u00a0have it.\u00a0The\u00a0term 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\u00a0want\u00a0to be in LIFE and GODLINESS.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It must be noted that\u00a0the\u00a0sustainability of your CHARISMA or CHARISMATIC life in\u00a0the\u00a0cause\u00a0of time is only in picture by\u00a0the\u00a0CHARACTER you\u00a0exhibit\u00a0in and through it. Otherwise, it becomes a CARICATURE in every respect of manifestation and operations.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

CHARACTER –\u00a0THE\u00a0RESILIENT TEMPER – is\u00a0defined\u00a0and applies to\u00a0the\u00a0aggregate of moral qualities by which a person is judged and examined apart from intelligence, competence, or special talents. Strength of\u00a0character,\u00a0personality applies to an aggregate of qualities that distinguish one as a person, mentally and\u00a0morally.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

And for\u00a0the\u00a0BELIEVER’S in Christ, our CHARISMATIC or CHARISMA life which is as a result of SPIRITUAL GIFTS and ENDOWMENT cum TALENTS are sustained [kept in checking] in\u00a0the\u00a0grace by\u00a0the\u00a0SPIRITUAL FRUIT –\u00a0the\u00a0CHARACTER – of\u00a0the\u00a0Holy Spirit that’s at work and in operation in us. It is\u00a0the\u00a0spiritual fruit ELEMENTS that formulate\u00a0ones\u00a0character and\u00a0behavioural\u00a0mannerisms,\u00a0thereby ensuring that one\u00a0is able to\u00a0uphold, sustain and\u00a0maintain\u00a0any position with integrity and etiquette, in one’s charisma or charismatic endowment. Any lack of\u00a0these sustainability and checking process by\u00a0the\u00a0character fruit, will consequently result to a caricature of one’s acts of displayed in charisma or charismatic attribute, which are – blindness, barrenness and unfruitfulness – to\u00a0the\u00a0reality and tangibility of\u00a0the\u00a0TRUTH in life and godly living in Christ Jesus stead.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\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\u00a0THESE THINGS be in you, and ABOUND,\u00a0they make you that ye shall NEITHER be barren nor unfruitful in\u00a0the\u00a0knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9 But he that LACKETH\u00a0THESE THINGS is BLIND, and CANNOT SEE afar off, and hath FORGOTTEN that he was purged from his old sins. . .”<\/i>\u00a02 Peter 1:5-11.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The\u00a0elements that\u00a0make\u00a0up\u00a0the\u00a0spiritual fruit ARE but not limited to\u00a0these:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
