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 portray...

IT IS WRITTEN AGAIN

Text: Matthew 4:6. He told Jesus, “Since you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, because it is written,   ‘God will put his angels in charge of you,’ and,   ‘With their hands they will hold you up, so that you will never hit your foot against a rock.’ Jesus knocked devil off with "it is written" when he came to him with the first temptation. So, the devil too decided to use "it is written" for Jesus for the second temptation.  Don't be deceived, the devil knows the scriptures too. Second Corinthians 11:14 says,  "Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light." So, it's no surprise when you see Satan's messengers masquerading themselves as Apostle of Christ. 2 Corinthians 11:14.  The word of God is perfect. Yet, many people can twist it to their advantage and ultimately to their disadvantage. A drunk, smoker, fornicator, liar and all sort can justify their sinful lifestyles with a Bible verse. See to it that you do not twist the word of Go...

WHEN GOD IS SILENT(2)

Text: Matthew 4:1  *Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.*  We saw yesterday that God was not pleased with many israelites that left Egypt for the promised land  (Corinthians 10:5).  A good percentage of the Israelites were overthrown in the wilderness.   Wilderness experience is not what any child of God desires, but it is an experience God sends or allows his children go through. In Deuteronomy 8:2, God says that He *LED* the Isrealites through the wilderness for forty years to humble them, to prove them, and to know what was in their heart whether they would keep his commandments or not.  Our Lord Jesus Christ was also *LED* into the wilderness by the Spirit of the Lord to be tempted by the devil. You will  notice there is a similar feature of the number *40(forty)* between these two wilderness experiences. That is, that of the Israelites and our Lord Jesus Christ. The Israelites spent 40years, Jesu...
