PATHWAY TO ACCEPTANCE.

  Acceptance is a product of well doing. Everybody accepts, appreciates and wants to be associated with a man who is doing well in life.(Gen. 4:7). But, it take righteousness to do well in life. (Is.3:10). Every time a man gives himself over to ungodliness, a repulsive odour comes upon him that causes people to resent him, but when a man embraces righteousness a delightsome aroma comes upon him and surrounds him so that even his enemies just fall in love with him for no explainable reason.(Pro.16:7)
  The fear of the Lord attracts the goodness of the LORD. (Jer. 32:39-40). The righteous man secures goodness both for himself and for his generation after him. Righteousness is the key to personal and corporate prosperity. (Pro. 14:34). The longer your righteousness endures, the greater the riches you enjoy. (Ps. 112:1-3).
  Joseph was loved by all and sundry because of his commitment and addiction to living a righteous life. He was loved, favored, promoted, honored, prosperous, blessed and trusted.(Gen. 39:2-6). Your level of righteousness determines the extent to which men will trust you. But what was the secret to his breakthroughs? The answer is simple; he would rather forfeit the position, favor and glamour than sin against his God.(Gen. 39:9).
  In the world we live in today, the reverse is the case. You see men and women who would willingly sell out, deny God and even sin against Him because of a benefit or a promotion or even a relationship. This is why so many people are under a dark cloud of loneliness, resentment and rejection even though they are surrounded by people or so it seems.
