SCRIPTURE: And he left all that he had in Joseph's hand; and he knew not ought he had, save the bread which he did eat. And Joseph was a goodly person, and well favoured. Genesis 39:6.

It has been established that character is critical to the fulfilment of destiny. The quality of a man’s character is the quality of his destiny. Men of strong character are always men of strong destiny; and men of weak character are also men of weak destiny.

Now, there is a direct relationship between character and favour. There is a character that attracts people to a person, and there is a character that repels people from the person. There is a character that draws people to a person, and a character that drives people away from the person. There is a character that opens doors and there is a character that closes doors. There is a character that attracts people and there is a character that repels people. There is a character that multiplies opportunity and there is a character that diminishes opportunity. There is a character that makes people get interested in someone and there is a character that makes people to lose interest in a person.

There is a character that increases favour and there is a character that diminishes favour. So, in life, a person’s character greatly affects their destiny. The outcome of a man’s life is greatly influenced by his character. There is a winning character; that is a character that makes people to win by all means. And there is a losing character that makes a man to lose in life.

From our anchor Scripture, we understand that Potiphar left everything he had under the care of Joseph because of Joseph’s quality character. Genesis 39:6 says, "And Joseph was a goodly person, and well favoured". The goodliness of Joseph attracted favour to his life. If you are a goodly person, you must be favored. When you have godly character, you will not lack favour. By all means, make up your mind to uphold godly character.
