The Character of a Woman of God Series 10 (last)

Chameleon Christian

After much talk about character, we wonder whether in practice we show the character of God.

The person, who has the character of God, possesses it at all times and in any situation. But, what have we seen?

Many express a good character when all is well, when everything is favorable, when it is in their comfort zone, in short, when no one invades their world.

But, as soon as something happens, their reprimanded, receives a scorn, humiliated or criticized the person soon after shows who she really is, her character changes according to situations.

Now, let's be honest, those who have the character of God, can it be one way when everything is to your liking, and have a different behavior when going through the desert?

I would like to talk about Saul and David, both, each in their moment, had been anointed by God, so far there is no difference, but pay attention to both of their behavior when they passed through the desert. Saul became angry, aggressive, jealous and a bad character to the point of wanting to kill David.

Meanwhile, David was being persecuted without a cause, never expressing hatred, anger or vengeance against Saul, on the contrary, having the opportunity to kill him he did not.

Notice the big difference, Saul turned, but David continued to be the same person as always, for he had the character of God.

Let's reflect on what has been our demeanor:

- you are the same with everyone, or do you change your behavior depending on the person?

- you are the same in church, and when you are at home with your husband or your parents?

- you continue to maintain your character as a woman of God when passing through the desert, or do you manifest great anger, speak badly of people and thirst for revenge?

- you are the same person before the authorities of the church, what about when you are alone or with friends?

- you fulfill your commitments, or do you spend on unnecessary things and then not have a way to pay?

- you keep your word or depending on the situation you change what you said?

- you have been humble to learn or does everything have to be your way?

There are many questions, so that we can meditate on each of them and know who we really are.

Do not forget friends, those who have the character of God have it anywhere and in any situation.

The character shows who is of God and who is not.

The character of a Woman of God Series - 9

Trickster

Have you seen a person who likes to find a shortcut for everything? It seems that there are no problems to her, because for every situation she quickly arranges a solution.

To get out of trouble she tells a lie, falsifies anything, invents an excuse, pretends she is sick, I do not know… All I know is that this person is tricky and does not get bothered with it. On the contrary, she judges herself to be very clever, always manages to get away "good" and dribbles any situation that is presented along the way.

Of course this kind of character does not please God, because in Him there is no deceit. Sooner or later, everything comes out and their true nature will be shown.
Seek always to be honest, fulfill your commitments, there is nothing worse than having a bad reputation, being known as a trickster, cheater, someone who has no word.

Do not forget, your character is going to show if you are from God or not.

"You decide"

"I was a great friend of a person; we both attend the same church. What happened is that she asked me to cosign so she could buy a house of her own, since we were friends I accepted because I thought she would keep her word. Now she does not pay her monthly dues, and is not worried about paying and I have to cover this cost for being a cosigner. I feel so much anger inside of me, how can a person be in church, listening to the Word of God and act this way? I do not know how to talk to her, in front of the pastor she makes herself appear to be good, but she is irresponsible and bad character that lives of appearance."

Discrimination

We all know that God does not discriminate people; therefore it is not part of His character.

Now you may ask, but can a person of the church be racist or discriminate against someone?

Friends, there are several examples of prejudice, it is not only racial discrimination, there are several behaviors that demonstrate this and also occurs among those that call themselves christians, but unfortunately they still do not have the character of God.

You can discriminate against someone with words, gestures or behaviors, considering their opinion, that the person is inferior and does not have the same rights as others.

You can discriminate someone:

- for having some sort of physical defect

- by their appearance

- in the work of God, being a new assistant or as a pastor's wife

- by cultural level

- by origin

- by their color

- by their economic situation

- by not sympathizing with her

As you see we have to take care of every detail, to avoid displeasing God with our attitudes. See if you, without realizing it are discriminating someone.

“You Decide”

"I have little time as an assistant, I know I have a lot to learn, but I feel that some assistants that have been in the work of God longer than I discriminate me, they ignore me and it makes me feel really bad. When they talk amongst each other and I am near them they pretend that I do not exist, nor speak to me. How to proceed? "

Justice

Justice is part of Gods character, He is just and is pleased when justice is served. So how is it possible for someone who says they are of God be unjust with their neighbor? Analyze carefully your actions, because many times the person who is being unjust doesn't even realize it, because they are judging and reacting according to their feelings.

This can happen frequently. Sometimes the same situation occurs with two different people, for example, a friend you admire and care for very much and then also to someone who you really don't along with. With your friend you are understanding, loveable, generous, you see everything with good eyes and you even disregard certain things you see that are not right. But with the other person you are remorseless, you judge her with no pity whatsoever, and you don't even think twice about punishing her.

Do you think that in the eyes of God that is just or fair? No. A person who is just, is that way all the time and with everyone, whether she likes it or not. She has a character that is fair and just and strives to make justice any which way, no matter who it may be.

“You decide”

“I feel very bad, a situation occurred with me, one of which I am very sorry for and I was punished for it with no mercy, no rights or explanations. I was very sad but I left it in Gods hands. As it weren't enough though, some time passed and someone I know did the same exact thing I did, but her case was treated very differently, the same people who judged me, since they were her friends, knew how to understand her, listen to her, and she ended up being treated simply like a victim, and nothing happened to her. Why does God allow those things to happen? The treatment should be the same for both of us.”

Keep your word

I said, I did not say, she said, she did not say, so many entanglements with words.

The person who has the character of God, keeps their word, she does not say something and then denies that she said it or says something different.

She assumes her words, even though it was wrong, she prefers to be true.

When a person is like this, she is reliable, others feel firmness in her, she shows a different character of those people who always tell a white lie to look well, denying something they said to not be in trouble, finally protecting themselves from people and forget to guard their faith, their principles and their conduct.

She is so worried about making herself look good in the eyes of others and forgets that the eyes of God are watching all the time.

If what you will say is not edifying, it is best not to say anything. If it's something serious and important talk directly to someone who can solve so it does not turn into gossip.

"You decide"

"A friend told me something that seemed very serious, so I felt compelled to bring it to the attention of the pastor, since it was about the work of God.

Only when the pastor called her to confirm the story, she denied everything, she said I had misunderstood, and now I was left looking bad before the pastor, because she did not have the courage to assume what she said. What do I do now? "

Vengeance

Do you think we should revenge into our own hands?

When a person causes us pain, hurts us intentionally and on top of that diminishes us, should we do the same back to them? Of course not. Aren't you of God and don't you trust in His justice? Then, allow Him to act in your favor and place things where they belong. There is no need to worry.

If you choose to return evil to the person who did you wrong then what difference will there be between the two of you? None.

Look at what God says in His word:

Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for God's wrath, for it is written: "It is mine to avenge; I will repay," says the Lord. (Romans 12:19 NIV)

Well then, don't worry; what people plant is what they shall reap. Don't waste energy trying to get the person to "pay" for all they have done, all you're doing is dirtying your heart. Leave it in Gods hands; He knows how to give them a good lesson.

"You Decide"

" A woman who used to be my supervisor at work, has humiliated and done me wrong many times. But now the situation is inverted and I am her boss now, and she is below me. This is my chance to get revenge of all the humiliation she has made me suffer, I'm still so upset, I could even fire her. Please, What should I do?"

Discretion

Today we are going to talk about a very small part of our body that can cause very big and irreplaceable damage when not used correctly.

First of all, think of someone indiscreet, gossipy, someone who can't hear or see anything that happens around her, because she can't keep anything to herself, it's almost as if her tongue craves to tell everyone around her.

And just like that, she does these things just for the pleasure of doing them, or to prove to everyone that she knows what's going on, always.

But the truth is, the real reason why this person is the way they are is actually irrelevant, what's important is to understand that they cannot be trusted, and flee from this kind of person. If you notice, you'll see that many people who surround her often stay quiet, why so? And those who draw near to her want to know something, as they know she will always be ready to tell them and share the gossip.

This attitude is very ugly and the worst part is that the person isn't even able to realize that this is not part of the character of God, because to her it's become normal and even pleasing.

If you want to be trusted, someone who people feel safe when expressing or sharing something serious, then be discreet.

"You decide"

"I have a friend that has disappointed me a lot, I trusted her and even confided in her my secrets, I shared with her almost my entire life, but now I have realized that she shared them with other friends, and I even had a problem with one of them. I don't know what to do, because I still enjoy her friendship and we've been friends for a really long time, but now I don't feel comfortable, I can't trust her. I'd like to help her but I don't know how. Sometimes I think I should tell her she's wrong, other times I think I should just stay away from her. Please, what should I do?"

The character of woman of God Series #3

Human beings are used to making plans and establishing objectives, which is normal and there is nothing wrong with that. The problem is when the person, many times, is not content with themselves or with what they have, and that's when they open the door to envy.

When we think of envy, we quickly think.... " that's such a terrible and worldly feeling.." but unfortunately it exists a lot inside of the churches and in the midst of those who call themselves Christians.

Contrary to what many believe, envy is not only related to material things, like being jealous of cars, houses, money, clothes, and other material possessions that a person may desire to have, and doesn't. This is how greed is formed to obtain other peoples things.

Envy can also be manifested in things that we cannot touch or feel, for example, there are many people who are envious of other in these situations:

- a position that she desires to have

- a happy marriage a friend has

- physically beauty that another woman may have

- her way of being, because she compares herself to others, and she sees in others what she would like to be, but isn't.

- the attention and care her friends receive, and she doesn't

- someone else's success.

The worst part of it all is that she doesn't even realize that she is being dominated by this bad feeling and she begins to take actions with the intention of hurting and/or taking the person out of her way. By saying bad things, giving a false testimony about her, and telling lies about her.

Friends, it isn't wrong to have things or to fight for them until we get them, but it's wrong to want what isn't yours to have, because this evolves into envy, and to want something someone else doesn't have and desire for them not to have it, is also envy. Be very careful, because maybe sometimes you don't even realize it, it something that runs inside of you and you must push it away.

You don't have to be envious of anyone, God loves you just the way you are and you can achieve what you want through faith, and you enjoy your blessing when others too are being blessed. This is the character of a woman of God, completely against envy and greed.

"... and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God." -Galatians 5:21

"You decide"

" There is a girl who is my partner in the work of God, she is involved in everything that is being done in the church, whether it's that they invite her, she's responsible for something, or some thing new to be done, and they always ask her, it even seems as if there is no one else in the church there but her. People don't ever get tired of giving her compliments, I'm fed up of it, it bothers me a lot. Because I give it all I have and no one even notices, I don't want to feel this way, but it's inevitable. Please what should I do?"

The character of woman of God Series #2

Humbleness

Every woman that desires to truly be a woman of God, needs to look deep inside of herself and analyze her character and see if the qualities of Gods character are truly in her.

Today we are going to talk about humbleness, one of the characteristics that forms part of the character of those who belong to God.

We learn from our own Jesus Christ a great example of what it means to be humble, because He Himself, even though He was Lord of all things, came to this world as a servant and has given us the example of how to truly be humble.

But, if we are not being cautious, we can leave our humbleness and go into pride, very quickly, because bad things will always be there, in front and around, and at every moment, wanting to take control of everything, but we must dominate the situation. But there is still bad news, unfortunately, there are many people who aren't aware of their pride, because it has become such a habitual behavior, that they no longer realize it, they believe that they are just, that they are right, and they continue to act wrongly in their own self defense.

But, in the end, when is it that a person reveals their pride:

- When she demands that things go her way

- She doesn't accept to be taught anything or any type of correction

- She doesn't have an disposition to forgive someone who treated her badly or that harmed her.

- She feels superior to others

- She thinks she is irreplaceable

- She doesn't listen or obey to those who want to help her.

- She thinks she knows it all

- She makes mistakes but continues to believe she is always right.

"You decide"

"My sister and I help out my father in our family business, my sister is very smart and our father trusts her a lot, she even takes care of everything that has to do with administration. But many times it's very difficult to work with her, because day after day she demands that everything be done her way, she never admits to her own mistakes and when I point them out to her, it makes her very mad. She ignores me and doesn't talk to me for days. She likes to say that the business only grows and evolves because of her dedication, the worst part is that in front of our father she pretends to be humble, but she never really does things the way he asks her to do them, she always changes everything and does it her way. I don't know what to do, I don't know if I should get on het same level and begin to do everything my way, that way I won't be left behind. Please, help me with this situation, because I don't know what to do any longer."

The character of the Woman of God -1

Today we are going to talk about a quality that is very appreciated, but very hard to find, sincerity.

There is nothing worse than to live with people who have two faces and only reveal one, when they are in front of you they are kind, caring, they flatter you, the only that's left for them to do is to kneel before you and kiss your feet, but as soon as you leave and you are not around they talk bad about you, the little sheep turns into a ferocious wolf and she begins to destroy.

Now lets see the many ways to show that you are false:

-The person speaks badly of others, and makes critics and suggests horrible things, all with the purpose of hurting their image.

-If circumstances are not going their way and on top of that things are not favorable to them, then they begin to bring forth their false side to gain favor, because to them the most important thing is to invert the situation, no matter what they have to do.

-How is it possible for someone to be so kind and ten minutes later, to be so perverse, surely it's a defect in their character, what's worse is that on top of it all, it's become a natural habit and she can't see that what she is doing is really bad.

-For example, there is another way in which a person can be fake, and it's based on the level of care she needs, she wants to receive attention and receive affection, and so she begins to say things she doesn't really mean or think. Because by doing this she will receive some kind of attention and affection from others, of course that this attitude is wrong, because it too is false.

-Lastly, a person can be fake to cover up her true conditions and show a different side of herself to try to advance socially, economically, etc.

These types of behavior are contrary to Gods nature, how a person is in front of us they should be behind us, this shows a true and honest character, and this is the only way to reveal that she is the same in any situation and that she doesn't change, when you don't act this way you prove to be a double face and personality, therefor proving a huge lack of character.

A person who is false, cannot be trusted, because everything in her is a lie.

"You decide"

" I don't know what to do, where I work there is a co-worker of mine who is very false, in front of our boss she is a suck up, but when he leaves she talks very badly of him behind his back. But the situation gets worse, he thinks she is sincere and true, and he's even considering giving her a raise, but I know she is a two face. Please what should I do and what can I do to fix this?

The Character of women of God Series

Hi friends!

We are going to start a new series titled " The character of women of God" How many people say they are of God, but their character reveals just the opposite, that they are not. Because those who are of God, show Gods character.

Character is the set of individual characteristics of each person, personality, his nature and temperament.

So, we can say that the mixture of good and bad qualities of a person, exhibit their character.

Why is it that there are many problems, even among christians? Many have put Jesus name to shame by expressing a contrary character than the one they should show.

Many people can have good or bad character, depending of everything we just mentioned above.

Now that you know the meaning, in the next articles we will talk with lots of detail what kind of character a woman of God should have.
