INTERGRITY

-
Text :  Proverbs 20:7  

A righteous man walks in integrity; blessed are his children after him.

Integrity is not what you appear to be when all eyes are on you. It is who you are when no one is looking.

Psalms  51:6 says  Behold, God desires truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part He shall make me to know wisdom. As far as God is concerned, It's not so much about what you say with your mouth but what you're saying in your heart.

Integrity is a level of morality below which you never fall, no 
matter what's happening around you. 

It is a high standard of honesty, truthfulness, decency, and honor that is never breached.  It is doing for others the way you would want them to do for you. 

A man of Integrity says something and means it. A man of Integrity swears to his own hurt and does not change,  Psalms 15:4. 

He is not a double-tongued man. People should know that you are a man of your word.  Let your Yes be Yes and your No, no. anything outside these is of the Evil One. (Matthew 5:37).

One hallmark of a righteous man is integrity. Now, he will not only reap the benefits of his uprightness here on earth, but even after he is long gone, his children will reap the dividends. (Proverbs 20:7).

One thing that shows you are indeed a child of God is the value you placed on your integrity. 

Bible  Reading:

Proverbs 19:1-4.

PRAYER FOCUS

1.) Father God,  I receive the grace to pay attention to my inner life and to show integrity within and without.

THE GOOD FIGHT-2

Text:  1 Timothy  6:12   Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. Another thing to pursue in fighting the good fight of faith is Godliness. We understand through the Holy scriptures that godliness is profitable unto all things.   *For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.* 1 Timothy  4:8.  You will reap the reward of your godliness not only when you get to heaven, but from here on earth. And this is why we are admonished to exercise ourselves unto godliness. (1 Timothy  4:7), because godliness with contentment is great gain.1 Timothy  6:6. Godliness is the practice of conforming to the image of God by reflecting the nature of the kingdom of God in the course of everyday life. In other words, godliness is living and portraying the nature of God here on earth.  2 Peter  1:

PRAYING MEN

Text : 1Timothy 2:8. I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting. God gave explicit instructions to all of His children as to how we must live our lives. Some of these instructions cut across boards, of which all of God's children must obey. However, there are some instructions that are specific to gender or portfolios. We we'll be looking at some of these instructions today.  *THE MEN* From our text, there are two distinct responsibilities God wants men to undertake, and the two are intertwined. First, God wants men to pray. The word  'men' as used in our text is not generic as to mean all human beings. It is specifically requesting that all men should pray. Yes, God expects every of His children to pray, but He specifically called men out here.  A number of times,  when prayer meetings are called, the proportion of women in attendance always outnumbered men. This is because the devil knows the import of praying men.

BE CALM & LISTEN-3

Text: 1 Kings 19:12 "...and after the earthquake a fire, [but] the LORD [was] not in the fire; and after the fire a still small voice" Prophet Elijah fled after he received the life threatening message from Jezebel, the wife of King Ahab, because he didn't keep himself calm before the Lord.  *Endeavouring to listen to God in difficult times is a major prerequisite to your deliverance.*  Are you faced with a life threatening situation like Prophet Elijah, the first and most important thing you need to do is: "Set yourself before the Lord for His still small voice."  *"You will be saved from many unwarranted troubles if only you will always maintain your calm before the Lord and listen to Him."*  After Prophet Elijah heard the still small voice, then the Lord asked him, "What are you doing here?" This question shows that Prophet Elijah had left his rightful location and God-given assignment.  The windstorm he saw, revealed that he has been blow
