INTEGRITY
“Moreover thou
shall provide out of all the people able men, such as fear God, men of truth,
hating covetousness… to be rulers.
Exodus 18:21

ntegrity is a great virtue; it is the quality of being
honest and ought to be found in every believer. We should be conscious of this
fact having strong moral principle. This is one quality which that there is a
“big eye” up there that is looking at us and hence be motivated to walk in
integrity. There are many Christians who are too hypocritical. In their
secrecy, they throw away morals, responsibility and ethnics to the dust. Where
is our integrity? It is the integrity in you that will make men trust you. You
may be admired as a genius, envied
as a wealthy man, feared as a powerful man but only through your
character will men trust you. Arthur Friedman puts it this way, “Men of genius
are admired. Men of wealth are envied. Men of power are feared, but only men of
character are trusted”. It was Joseph’s integrity that God saw in him which
made God to entrust him with riches of the gentiles. He succeeded in the face
of the all adversities of life. According to Zig Ziglar, “Success is knowing the
difference between concerning people
and getting people in your corner”.
Hear this again, “there is harmony and inner peace to be found in following a
moral compass that point in the same direction regardless of fashion or trend”
– Ted Kopped.
You
cannot remain successful when you continue to corner the people. Their eyes
will soon be opened and you will be exposed. No matter the trend or condition
you find yourself, try as much as possible to maintain your integrity.
