Developing Manners That Matter

Outstanding success is of God! Greatness is your heritage! Once you are born again, greatness and success become your redemptive right and your destiny in God. Jesus said, “Ye are the salt of the earth;” you are to preserve the earth. He also said, “Ye are the light of the world.” By this, He means you are the illumination that your world needs. You are a revelation to your generation. You are not destined for obscurity, rather for distinction. You are created to make a difference in your generation.
In as much as greatness is your kingdom right, I want to rightly point out here that success is not a gift, but a choice. While it is the birthright of all saints, the individual’s choice determines his or her portion. So, your choice to succeed is what generates in you the force to succeed. Your choice is the compass that points you to your destination. One of the good choices you need to make is developing goodly and godly manners. It takes a development of goodly and godly manners to attain and sustain greatness in life. Manner is simply a way of behaviour. Your manner is the vehicle of your destiny. It has the ability to sustain your greatness in life. Remember, to be great in life is not the issue because it is already in you as a child of God, but to sustain the greatness is what really matters.
