Integrity
Read Job 31:24.
What we do with money is the clearest statement of what our priorities are. How we handle money is how we handle life. The way we look at money is a measure of how much we are trusting God.
When you know you've only worked six hours, but something in you says..."ah just put down seven, you worked a little more last week to cover it", what do you do? Finances are tight, bills need to be paid, and it's another two weeks before you get paid, how do you view money? Be like Job: put no confidence in money.
Read Job 31:1.
Sex is a gift of God that is tied to worship. (How we handle this element of our lives has a direct relationship on how we worship God. Sex outside of God's plan is idolatry because the object our desire becomes more important to us than God. The devil's plan is to change the beauty of sexual freedom into a beast of sexual bondage. He knows that if you can control this area of your life, there will be a tremendous level of power released in your life.
Casanova gives you a compliment and you are thinking about that thing all day long. Sweet Keisha wore another tight dress to work today and this time she smiled at you in a way that says, anytime you ready, Freddie. It's a good time to be like Job, make a covenant with your eyes to not look upon that which you should not. This is more important than just what you see in the physical world. To not look means to not consider, to not ponder, to not gaze internally upon. This is integrity.
Finally, we have received the blessing of integrity. We are like our Father God. We refuse to lie. We refuse to be hypocritical. "We is, what we say we is." We have this hope, that because God has integrity, we have integrity.
Adopt this confession for your life:
Because God has integrity, I have integrity. I have been born of incorruptible seed, by the word of God. I'm like my Father. I am a person of integrity. I have this hope as an anchor. I'm undivided and undamaged. I walk in integrity.
