RETAINING YOUR INTEGRITY

RETAINING YOUR INTEGRITY
Integrity is a word which means steadfast adherence to a strict moral or ethical code. It also means the quality or condition of being complete and pure. It could also mean honesty, uprightness, purity, sincerity, decency, virtuous and wholeness. To retain is to keep in possession and maintain something. Many a time people find it difficult retaining their integrity. It takes determination to stand on your integrity. Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king’s meat, nor with the wine which he drank; therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuch that he might not defile himself. GOD is a lover of men of integrity. Daniel 1 vs. 8-9: But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king’s meat, nor with the wine which he drank; therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuch that he might not defile himself. Now GOD had brought Daniel into favor and tender love with the prince of the eunuch. Show me a man of integrity and I will tell you he will be blessed and his children are blessed after him. Proverbs 20 vs. 7: The just man walks in his integrity, his children are blessed after him. Those who retain their integrity are preserved and guided, but the unfaithful are destroyed. Proverbs 11 vs. 3 (NIV): The integrity of the upright guides them, but the unfaithful are destroyed by their duplicity. David said in Psalm 25 vs. 21: Let integrity and uprightness preserve me; for I wait on you.

         

Show me a man of integrity and I will tell you he is just and fears GOD. A man of integrity will retain his integrity no matter the circumstances he finds himself. Joseph said how can I do this great wickedness and sin against GOD? When his master’s wife casted her eyes on him and asked him to lay with her. Retaining your integrity is necessary and paramount. GOD delights in men of integrity, He fights and defends them. He favors them. Daniel was brought into favor for retaining his integrity. Joseph was also favored in the sight of the keeper of the prison. Genesis 40 vs. 9: There is none greater in this house than I; neither has he kept back anything from me but you, because you are his wife; how then can I do this great wickedness and sin against GOD? Vs. 21: But the LORD was with Joseph and shows him mercy and gave him favor in the sight of the keeper of the prison. Have you defiled yourself and remained unfaithful? You can still be faithful and retain your integrity. It takes determination and a pure heart to retain your integrity. GOD is a merciful GOD, He can still show you his mercies; if you repent and surrender all to Him. Do share with others, if this write up has blessed you. It is well with us..

OUR DAYS.

OUR DAYS Greetings to all reading on this platform worldwide. I write on this topic OUR DAYS even as   my twin sister and I are a year older today. Glory be to GOD for a new year and a new day. A song says great is thy faithfulness, Oh LORD my father, morning by morning new mercies we see, all we have needed his hands have provided, Great is thy faithfulness. Truly great is his faithfulness toward all men. Many are not convinced of these, many don’t see something special in GOD’s faithfulness towards them. David said “Then I lay down and slept in peace and woke up safely, for the LORD was watching over me. He GOD never sleeps nor slumber over us, we just find out we sleep and before you know it, you open your eye to a new day. This is the LORD’s doing and it should be marvelous in our sights. We are to see reasons to always appreciate and thank GOD for his goodness, mercies and faithfulness. That you are alive shows He is faithful. The gift of life which is the greatest of...

FREEDOM FREEDOM FREEDOM

FREEDOM FREEDOM FREEDOM Freedom is a state of being able to do what you want without anything stopping you. Galatians 5 vs 1 says: so Christ has made us free, now make sure that you stay free, and don’t get all tied up again in the chains of slavery to jewish laws and ceremonies. Christ’s death on the cross made us free, we are in bondage before, but Christ made us free. We are tied up in chains slavery to sins, but his death made us free. The bible said whosoever the son sets free, is free indeed. We have been set free, and we are free. Many misuse this freedom, many use this freedom to do the wrong things. Many still dwell in sins despite, this freedom. This freedom brings grace, love, purity and faithfulness. The bible said we can’t continue in sins and say grace to abound, GOD forbid. When you are in sin, your freedom becomes captivity again. That is why, you must flee from all appearances of sins. Paul said in Galatians 5 vs 13: For dear brothers, you ...

THE DUTY OF MAN

THE DUTY OF MAN Duty is that which one is morally obligated to do. A husband in a house is responsible for meeting his family’s needs. That is the duty of a husband. A wife is responsible for taking care of the children and also house chores. That is the duty of a wife. A school teacher’s responsibility is to teach the students. That is the teacher’s duty. A student’s responsibility is to go to school, listen to what the teacher teaches and study them. That is the student’s responsibility. Our Creator GOD created everything for a purpose. Every creation has a duty to carry out. Unfortunately, many creations have failed in their duty. When a man doesn’t carry out his duty he is termed a failure. It causes the Creator GOD nothing to replace men with stones when they fail him. I pray may you not fail GOD!                However, there is time for everything. Don’t get excited and get carried away in this world. D...
