Integrity is rare, don't sell yours!

-

Young man, integrity is a rare and invaluable trait, if you have it, don't sell yours. It requires that you remain consistent in your character, regardless of your environment. The person you are at home should mirror the person you are at work, in social settings, and within your community. This unwavering consistency builds trust and reflects a life anchored in truth.

In today's world, the temptation to compromise your principles is ever-present. Opportunities may arise that promise success or recognition at the expense of your integrity. However, true fulfillment and lasting respect come from steadfastly adhering to your moral and godly convictions. Remember, the allure of immediate gain should never outweigh the value of a clear conscience.

The story of Jacob and Esau serves as a poignant reminder of the consequences of deceit. Jacob disguised himself to receive the blessing intended for Esau, leading to familial strife and personal turmoil. This narrative illustrates the pitfalls of compromising one's integrity for short-term benefits. Embracing honesty and authenticity is essential to avoid such outcomes.

Your reputation is built over time but can be tarnished in an instant through dishonest actions. While material success achieved through unscrupulous means may offer temporary satisfaction, it often leads to long-term regret and a damaged legacy. The hand is the hand of Esau, the voice is the voice of Jacob. Conversely, a life lived with integrity brings personal peace and sets a positive example for others to follow.

In every decision and interaction, strive to align your actions with your core values. This intentional approach ensures that you remain true to yourself and uphold the principles that define you. By doing so, you contribute to a culture of honesty and trust, inspiring those around you to do the same.

Young man, never underestimate the power and importance of integrity. It is a guiding light in a world often overshadowed by ethical ambiguity. By holding steadfast to your principles, you enrich your own life and positively impact the lives of others. Cherish and protect your integrity, for once lost, it is challenging to regain.

UNDERSTANDING THE TIMES

-
Seriously, understanding your times in the making process poses a  great challenge to many as children of God. Unlike the trees and crops whose seasons are relatively constant in planting and fruition, every man has a unique timing in both. It is laid on us to understand under God what our times and seasons are. A man who ought to be in the planting season is expressing fruits (Results of being made). A man who ought to be in the germination stage is celebrating the harvest. See, once you miss your timing in life, there is already a huge deficit in purpose fulfillment. Don't envy any man. See their timeline and you will understand. One heavy blow the enemy has landed on our generation of young ones is to be fruitful without getting planted. They want to ride cars, build houses, have huge money, and get to do the "big" things without being buried as in planting. No cultivation,  no rooting, no thinning, and no manuring, none. They want to skip those times because of one ol...

EXCUSES

-
Excuse me, man, excuses are never going to be genuine says, my philosophical friend. There is no amount of excuse that you give in not doing a thing that will be enough a substitute to doing that thing. You need to know that you have huge excuses on your path in your making process. Excuse your body will give, your desire will give, your lack of one thing or the other will give, so as not to achieve a task. Beware. Excuses will limit the height you should travel in life. Excuses present themselves as your disadvantages, your limitations, your huge boundary, or a mountain to climb. If you don't wake up and deal with every tenable and untenable excuse, you won't go far. The spy sent by Moses came back with devastating excuses that were enough to cause the people not to go on and possess their promised land. Only two stood out with different testaments. The land is filled with milk and honey but there is an obstacle that can get you stuck on the road without entering the land. The...

THE USERS AND THE ABUSERS

-
If there is a bottomless pit, there is a roofless height. Some stuff you get to go through in life is God's module in making you become his own best version of you: a man or woman with no limit. Yes, with no limit. You are in God's program. Some deep pit that you may have been buried in may seem so deep that you sink into it more by the day based on your calculation. But in God's agenda, if the pit is so deep, the height of glory is roofless. There is no plateau in and with God. Once, you have been correctly planted and you germinate well, expect God to move you up the ladder higher and higher. Once you don't deviate from the right principle in God, you can be certain that there is a roofless height of manifestation. For young people, make sure you are planted well. Don't worry if those who "use" you. Learn well, don't give up, and ultimately stay in God. Be aware of the "abusers" too. Runaway from this set of people. They won't allow you...
