In the pursuit of knowledge to know oneself, it is very important to
first know your source. In the book of Genesis, God breathed on you and gave
you live, He afterwards gave you a Kingship authority to rule over the earth.
You cannot however, rule apart from Him. Ruling apart from Him means to
disconnect yourself from your source in disobedience.
Today, in a bid to know who we are, we are looking at one of the natures
of God; Integrity. In the book of Numbers 23:19 the bible says,
"God is not a man, that He should lie, nor a son of man, that He should
repent. Has He said, and will He not do? Or has He spoken, and will He not make
it good?" Our God keeps to His words, His eternal plan will be fulfilled,
though heaven and earth may pass away, but His word will remain forever.
Throughout the history of the world, God never disappoint His people. His
promise to Abraham was fulfilled in Isaac and Israel. He brought His chosen
people out of the land of bondage to a land flowing with milk and honey. He
warned them not to be involved in idolatry and wickedness, when they refused to
listen, He sent them into exile. Our God can be depended upon for a long term
plan, for His is a faithful God.
If God is in you, you are suppose to demonstrate His integrity in all
circumstance, such that people of the world can identify Him in you. When
people cannot take your words until they have someone else confirm what you
say, then you do not have integrity, which is a nature of God that you must
have to call yourself a child of God.
It is therefore instructive to know that part of the reason why you do
not know who you are, is because you lack God's integrity. Therefore integrity
must be a watch word for all you do going forward, as you enter this journey of
self discovery. God will enlighten you in Jesus name. Amen.
