The Power Of Your Integrity
Anchor Scripture
Psalm 26:1, 11 (KJV)
1 Judge me, O LORD; for I have walked in mine integrity: I have trusted also in the LORD; therefore I shall not slide. 11 But as for me, I will walk in MINE INTEGRITY: redeem me, and be merciful unto me.
The Hebrew word for integrity as used here by David is "tom", and it means completeness, moral innocence, uprightness, etc. It means that as a child of God, there will come a time when your integrity or your moral innocence will be the only key to your elevation in life.
I know that Christ gave us and became for us integrity, but this one is legal. There should be the vital side of your own integrity, i.e., the one you work out just because Christ has worked some in you.
This English word integrity carries its root from the Latin word integer, from which you get the word integral. It is something you can’t break, something you shouldn't break no matter the condition.
What is your integrity like when it comes to your relationship with the opposite sex? What is your integrity when it comes to money? What is your integrity like when it comes to timekeeping or punctuality? What about prayers or the reading of the word? What about your attendance at church activities and programmes?
Your integrity is your life. This is who you are, and this is being real to yourself. Instead of always falling, why don't you ask him for the grace to stand and keep standing?
Prayer
I will praise you, my Father, for your wonderful works which you have wrought in me, teaching me to always stand and to trust in you and not in the arm of flesh. Thank you, Father.

The Light That Lighteth Every Man
When John, the writer of this our text, says in verse 9...that was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world, what do you think he was saying? What does it mean to you, and to whom was he talking?
Those Who Don't Give
A ministry you don’t give to is one you don’t believe in. If you can’t give to your man of God, then know you don’t believe in him and in his grace, so you can’t partake in the grace of God upon his life.
Those Who Wish You Evil
Ministry is another place where I see evil being wished on people. There are many people who are waiting for evil to happen to you just so they can be proven right. There are those who have woken up with evil dreams that emanate from their thoughts
