For the last week of the month of Probity, the Lord wants to make each of us face up to his responsibilities.
It is imperative for him to know if we are people of integrity?
It is important for him to know if his children are honest people, sincere, of their word.
Even if we are not, we can be, it is possible but it is not an easy path, it is a firm and quality decision that will lead us to reap huge rewards.
Every day, many situations that push us to compromise ourselves arise.
We see too many lies in our homes, families, schools, businesses, and even in our churches.
We are in the midst of an integrity crisis.
* Integrity * is having irreproachable conduct, it is refusing to lie, to disappoint, to steal, to manipulate others to achieve one’s ends.
He is the one who is honest, loyal, upright.
He is the one who has nothing to hide, who is the same in public and in private, he is a person who does what he says, who honors his commitments, who walks according to the values of the word of God. .
The world pulls us out of the way and forces us to put aside this character that should be our lifestyle.
Those who lack integrity speak well, look good, look good, are highly respected, honored.
They look holy, sweet and they always want to be appreciated yet they are angry, hypocritical, devious people.
They are people who seem consecrated yet they have no intimacy with the Lord.
And this kind of case is filled in our churches.
Many see integrity as a weakness, and today’s society discredits and finds this value outdated.
Suddenly, it’s normal that we don’t keep our promises, it’s normal to flout our commitments, it’s not even surprising that we don’t honor a word.
It doesn’t shock, it doesn’t hurt, it doesn’t disappoint, it’s acceptable.
It is difficult to be integrated into our atmosphere but it is not impossible.
We must be men of integrity and models.
This is God’s recommendation for us this morning.
Pray to remain upright!
1 Peter, 2:12 Be good conduct among the Gentiles, that even where they slander you as though you were evildoers, they may notice your good works, and glorify God in the day that he visits them.
There is work among the pagans, of those who do not belong to the people of God.
Our conduct must enable those around us to give glory to God and to imitate us.
Our way of life is an instrument that God uses to win the hearts of those who are lost.
It is up to us to be good instruments in the hands of the Lord.
Our life testifies to our faith.
We are not alone, we have others around us, we are a race, a nation, a people, a royal sarcedoce, which means that we are a family.
We must be examples so that those who look at us to judge us instead give glory to God.
Hello home
Have a good day
