INTEGRITY

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
I
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.

Don’t Look Back!

By Date -
Don’t Look Back! Luke 9:62 – And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God. Have you answered the call to serve God as His son and daughter? Have you totally chosen Jehovah as your God? Have you decided to leave your old ways and cleave unto God? If yes! Beloved I congratulate you. But hope you took the cost of your choice?? [Please refer to yesterday’s sermon] God doesn’t want us to look back when we have answered the call, why? This is because of the following: Firstly, it brings shame to the body of Christ and makes people to despise Christ. Looking back is to be lukewarm and to depart from the first love! [Revelation 2:4, Revelation 3:16] Secondly, looking back makes the believer to suffer backwardness spiritually and physical. The faith of the believer suffers and takes a longer time to be rebuilt. [Hebrews 6:4]. Thirdly, looking back will make the person not to complete whatever he or she has started. This is w...

Heart Not Garment - 2

By Date -
"Rend your heart, and not your garments." --Joel 2:13 Apart from vital godliness all religion is utterly vain; offered without a sincere heart, every form of worship is a solemn sham and an impudent mockery of the majesty of heaven. HEART-RENDING is divinely wrought and solemnly felt. It is a secret grief which is personally experienced, not in mere form, but as a deep, soul-moving work of the Holy Spirit upon the inmost heart of each believer. It is not a matter to be merely talked of and believed in, but keenly and sensitively felt in every living child of the living God. It is powerfully humiliating, and completely sin-purging; but then it is sweetly preparative for those gracious consolations which proud un-humbled spirits are unable to receive; and it is distinctly discriminating, for it belongs to the elect of God, and to them alone.

Faulty Covenant

By Date -
Faulty Covenant Hebrews 8:7 [7] For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second. Covenant as a strong bound that is not easily broken can be faulty. The covenant made betwixt God and the Israelites was a faulty covenant in this time of Grace but perfect in it's time. The covenant wasn't to lead sinner's unto Christ's but it was to lead them unto their destructive end quickly. The old covenant was a period of darkness and pains (because it was more by works and not by grace) but thanks to God who invalidated the old covenant and gave us the covenant of Grace where Jesus is the mediator no longer Moses. God spoken of the new covenant long ago in Jeremiah 31:31; it was manifested in Christ. This new covenant brings light to the soul. Every covenant that do not bring light to your life, be destroyed now by fire! Whatever makes you to live by work and not by grace be destroyed! For God's name sake, let everyt...
