RETAINING YOUR INTEGRITY 2

RETAINING YOUR INTEGRITY 2
I King 9 vs. 4-5: And if you will walk before me, as David your father walked, in integrity of heart, and in uprightness, to do according to all that I have commanded you, and will keep my statutes and my judgments. Then I will establish the throne of your kingdom upon Israel forever as I promised to David your father, saying: There shall not fall you a man upon the throne of Israel. It pays to walk in integrity. It pays to retain your integrity. King Solomon failed to walk in integrity and in uprightness like David his father did. He married people from nations GOD instructed his people not to marry from. They turned his heart from GOD and turned his heart to their gods. 1 Kings 11 vs. 4: For it came to pass, when Solomon was old, that his wives turned away his heart after other gods; and his heart was not perfect with the LORD his GOD, as was the heart of David his father. His your heart still perfect with the LORD? Are you still walking in integrity? Are you still retaining your integrity?

                   
Moreover, the bible defines another man as a man of integrity. Despite all these man faced, he retained his integrity. His wife questioned his integrity and told him to curse GOD and die; but Job retained his integrity. A man of integrity will be perfect in the sight of GOD. A man of integrity will be upright and will fear GOD. A man of integrity will stay away from evil and corruption. Job was a typical example of a man retaining his integrity, because he faced a lot; yet he retained it. Job 1 vs. 1: There was a man in the land Uz, whose name was Job; and that man was perfect and upright; and one that feared GOD, and eschewed evil. Job 2 vs. 3: And the LORD said to satan. Have you considered my servant Job that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that fears GOD and eschews evil? And still holds fast his integrity, although you moved me against him, to destroy him without cause. Job 2 vs. 9-10: Then said his wife to him, Do you still retain your integrity? Curse GOD and die. But he said to her, you speak as one of the foolish woman speak, what? Shall we receive good at the hand of GOD, and shall we not receive evil? In all this did not Job sin with his lips. Mind you, people will question your integrity; but hold fast to it. It takes a GOD-fearing heart and an uprightness heart to retain integrity. Whether the circumstance is good or bad, you have to walk in integrity. Luke 16 vs. 10: He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much. We are complete in CHRIST which is the head of all principality and power, so we must retain our integrity. Integrity starts within you; many are not sincere with themselves. Integrity within will be seen outside by all men. Start retaining your integrity and hold fast to it today.

ONCE A FAITHFUL WIFE, AND NOW A PROSTITUTE

ONCE A FAITHFUL WIFE, AND NOW A PROSTITUTE! Compliments of the season from this side of the world to you all!!! Knowledge of the Truth is back and better this year. And I pray this year shall be a favorable one for us all. The word Faithful means reliable, worthy of trust, loyal and adhering firmly to a rule. It means consistency. It means fidelity. As a wife, it is expected you are reliable, worthy of trust, loyal and adhere to your husband’s rule and command. Ephesians 5 vs. 22: Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the LORD. The husband is in charge of his wife in the same way CHRIST is in charge of his body the Church. A submissive wife will be faithful without any conditions. She makes fidelity her watchword. A submissive wife obeys all her husband rule and command. A submissive wife is conscious of her wrongs. A submissive wife yields to authority (her husband’s). A submissive wife will always stand by her husband in thick and thin. A submissive wif

AN OUTCAST

AN OUTCAST An outcast is one that has been excluded from a society or system. He is labeled a beggar. He is an outsider. An outcast is a person that lacks care. An outcast is neglected and overlooked. He is demoralized. He is wounded in heart. He is labeled whom no one cares. He is one that has lost hope. He is one who is frustrated and dejected. He is one who is always deep in thoughts and sorrowful. He is one who lives like a foreigner in his own land. He is one who is distressed. He is one who gets dispossessed of his possessions. He is one who is perplexed. He is one who is troubled on every side. He is one who is despair. He is afraid of tomorrow. CHRIST came that we might have a restored hope. He came to bare that burden of ours. He came to give us that expected end. He came that we might have peace. He came that we might be healed . Isaiah 53 vs. 5: But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement of our peace was upon him, and w

DREAMS ARE NOT DELUSIONS

DREAMS ARE NOT DELUSIONS This is a very fascinating topic, dreams are not delusions. Many do think dreams are just fictions, some see as a normal way of life. Many do not take their dream serious which shouldn’t be, some see dreams as delusions, some don’t even dream, why some forget what they dreamt about. Dream is a medium in which GOD communicates with us, he communicates to us through vision, trance and also consciences, but we are discussing about dream. Although, many a time what you are thinking about before you sleep, you might see it again; but majorly it does not continue like that. The bible said in Job 33 vs 15: In dreams, in vision of the night, when deep sleep falls on men as they lie on their beds; he opens their ears in time like that and gives them wisdom and instruction. That is just a picture of dream, everyone has a dream land; but some’s has been tampered with by the devil. A dream land is an avenue for dreams; GOD gives instructions to us in the dream, ju
