Dear Beloved,
The world is so full of people who cannot be trusted in all what they do, even the good morning they greet needs to be cross-checked. Some say one thing and do another, break agreements and promises made to friends/colleagues. Others even trample on the rights of the poor and vulnerable to rise, not giving a concern to the effect of their actions upon them. In their closet, they stir up strife in the community, putting every nook and cranny of the community aflame with their lies, false accusations, slenderness while still pretending not to know the cause of the chaos.
All these and more are the reasons, we should reconsider maintaining true integrity in all we do, say and analyse. God is pleased with integrity, 1 Chronicles 29:17 and because of that, He has promised to establish the royalty of any man of integrity above other men. But when men walk contrary to this, they will be cut off from God's portion, God will reject their offerings, making them to be a byword and object of ridicule among all people.
To walk in integrity is to be righteous, upright and have the fear of God. Meaning that, you should always consider the fact that wherever inner secret place sin and abominations are committed God is there watching. Your wife or husband, father or mother, brother or sister may not be there and so will neither see nor know what sins you have committed at their backs but God sees and knows them. I think man's knowledge about this fact will help him so much in maintaining his integrity.
Do not wait to be caught up in your sinful ways, it is better to make use of the grace of God available to us now. Consider it far better to learn through grace of God available to us rather than learning through painful experience.
Remain blessed,
Your beloved sister,
Ifeoma
