The armies of God were a people of uncommon courage,
bravery, forthrightness. To have courage however, you must be upright in
character, for according to him, “It is character that gives voice”, without
upright behavior he explained, a man could not have a voice among his
brethren. Reuben, he said, was the
first son of Israel but lost the rites and privileges of that position due to
poor character. For sleeping with his father’s wife, Reuben lost his
pre-eminence and consequently bequeathed the role of the second fiddle even to
the generations after him. Conversely, Joseph, also a son of Israel in the 11th
position got promoted to the position of a prime minister or ruler over Egypt
and indeed over nations because of godly character found in him.
