THE ESSENCE OF CULTIVATING A POSITIVE VALUE SYSTEM

SCRIPTURE: God had told Abram, "Leave your own country behind you, and your own people, and go to the land I will guide you to. If you do, I will cause you to become the father of a great nation; I will bless you and make your name famous, and you will be a blessing to many others. – Genesis 12:1-2 (TLB)

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Your value system determines your worth in life and destiny.

It has been proven that one’s value system determines one’s destiny in life. No one can be greater in life beyond the values of their lives. Your value system also determines your worth in life and destiny.

You see, there are people who have rendered themselves useless, without any sense of regard for anyone because of their lack of value system. So, the value you live by determines your value rating and worth as a person.

Again, a person’s sense of value determines the strength of their voice. That is why people without good sense of value are people without voice. For instance, no one wants to hear the moral counsel of a prostitute or interested in the advice of an armed robber. People without values are people without voice.

So, the strength of your value is directly proportional to the strength of your voice. For example, Pastor E. A. Adeboye does not shout, but even when he talks, his conversational tone appears stronger than the shout of many preachers because of his positive and strong personal value system. Some people may shout to cover up the lack of substance in their utterances.

Please note: It is not in shouting that voice is heard, it is not in the attempt to sound like another preacher that your voice is heard, rather, it is in values.

Therefore, make up your mind to develop a positive value system.

Remember this: Your sense of value determines your worth in life and destiny.

ASSIGNMENT(S):
1. Make up your mind to be upright in all you do.
2. Prioritize intimacy with God above every other thing in life.

PRAYER: Help me LORD to see and cultivate the value system of our LORD Jesus Christ. Give me the grace to be like Him LORD, in Jesus’ Name.
