In leadership I have come to realise that a person’s character can be known by what they say.
I used to work with someone that ninety-nine
percent of the time says negative things about other people, of course behind
their back. This act made me see his character as untrustworthy. I did wonder
what he has said about me behind my back.
The
journey to spiritual maturity is one of closer relationship with Elohim. A
relationship that would enable you to tell of Elohim from direct experiential knowledge,
as well as in faith through the testimonies of others and the study of the holy
scriptures.
The holy scriptures are full of the
promises of Elohim God for His children. He said many of these promises
directly and many was said through His children. Elohim’s words reveal His
character.
The psalms of King David always bring
me to the knowledge of Elohim. His descriptions of who, what and how Elohim is
revealed the depth of David’s relationship with his God. Psalm 23 is a great
example of the depth of this relationship.
The writings of David also give us an
insight into his character - a man who had reverence for Elohim.
There was a point in my life when I could say Elohim was my provider, but I would not have been able to
articulate how He was my provider. I did not know that Elohim orders my steps,
leads me in the way I go and made possible my earthly work that puts food on my
table, roof over my head and clothes on my back.
Now, I know that Elohim is the
source of it all. I see His hands in the physical manifestation of His promises
in my life. Coming to this realisation was a journey through developing my
relationship with Him. And I desire that my character reflects my relationship
with Elohim God.
How about you? Are you reciting
Elohim’s promises from head or experiential knowledge? Seek to deepen your
relationship with Him. Change your prayers from asking Him to give you things, to asking Him to change you inside out for His glory.

Almighty Father, thank You for my
gifts - of life, of health and of salvation through Yeshua. Help me Father to
seek to deepen my relationship with you. In Yeshua’s name I pray. Amen
I pray that this inspires you to
reflect on your relationship with Elohim and be determined to be more and do
more for Him each day.
