FAITH CAPSULE: With boldness and character, become a winner. 

Numbers 33:1-4, Joshua 1

The combination of boldness and character is the combination that makes a believer a winner.
Boldness and character is the identity of knowing God to live by His word.
The handwork of God is around every heaven and earth.
The Psalmist states, “…for your wondrous works declare that Your name is near.” (Psalm 75:1) 
The book of Proverbs also testifies, “The name of the LORD is a strong tower; the righteous run to it and are safe.” (Proverbs 18:10) 
The above scriptural verses are enough to uphold one who constantly lives by it as one with boldness and character.
Answering as one with boldness and character should be rooted in the word of God.
One that is keeping the testimonies of God is in a position to stand as a winner.
One with boldness can know the word and keep standing on the word of God without failing.
Character in the Christ-like life marks one to live as a winner.
Boldness without the character is not possible to make a winner.
When boldness and character are intact in your persona, being victorious will never be a stranger to you in all areas of life. 
The children of Israel experienced all kinds of challenges while they were in the bondage of over four hundred years. 
There was a need for boldness at the time of their move out of bondage to their Promised Land.
Numbers 33:3 records, “They departed from Rameses in the first month, on the fifteenth day of the first month; on the day after the Passover the children of Israel went out with boldness in the sight of all the Egyptians.” 
They left with boldness, but there was no character to carry them through, except for Caleb and Joshua, who maintained the boldness and character of a believer. 
The children of Israel left with boldness because they had just witnessed the move of the merciful hand of the deliverance of God. 
They saw their slave masters of many years bury their firstborn while their firstborn were full of life. 
They were glowing while their oppressors were groaning. 
They were with boldness. 
As they engaged in the journey of freedom, the smoke of the negative ones that joined them engaged in negative complaints against the doing of God over their life.
Complaints caused patience to subside, and their journey took a different course. 
Boldness, which arises from the testimonies of what God has done and is doing, will deliver victory into life if the character is rooted in the word of God. 
As a child of the Almighty God, deliverance and preservation is for you to be a winner and an overcome. 
God did not deliver one and lead such into the hand of the enemy. 
Know better that God meant deliverance for good. 

Prayer for today: Ask God to endue you with the heart to hold on to His promises in all areas of your life.
