Integrity of Heart
Memory verse: - Psalms 26: 1 Judge me, O LORD; for I have walked in mine integrity: I have trusted also in the LORD; therefore I shall not slide.
 Bible Reading: - Psalm 26: 1 – 12
Message
Integrity means the state of being wholesome, complete and pure or steadfast adherence to a strict moral or ethical code. Can unregenerated heart boast of any integrity before God? Can any man bring out clean thing out of an unclean thing? No! No man can saith the Lord. Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean? not one.[ Job 14:4]
David the writer of this book of Psalm was a man of God testified of God to be a man after his own heart. No longer I, he no longer does his own will but that of God; if not so he would have killed Saul when the opportunity to do so avails him rather he said I will not touch the anointed of God; even his awakened heart of righteousness smote him and condemn him for cutting part of Saul’s garment. He no longer avenges himself but allows the righteous God of vengeance to do his work and for this and many more reasons God anointed him king over his people Israel.
In Christ Jesus we can do all things for he is our strength and this makes John the beloved to say that the commandment [requirements] of God is not grievous because he had surrendered I for Christ’s will alone; and Paul the apostle says “I am not the one living again, but Christ liveth in me and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the son of God who love me and gave himself for me” [Gal 2:20]
Integrity of heart, uprightness, perfection, wholesome and complete steadfastness in God of Jacob is demanded by God of all possibilities from believers with whom all things are possible.
In Matthew 5: 48 Christ says “Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.”
If Job, David and Paul can testified of integrity of heart before God, we have no excuse to live below this standard of God because Christ who is the shepherd of our souls die for our salvation and sanctification without the gate and from him we receive grace for grace [John 1:16]. Where sin abounded grace is much more abounded. He has done all the sacrifice needed and paved the way to live with full integrity of heart for us. Have you being to him? Have you called upon him for outward and inner purging? Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb? Is your heart right with God?  Behold, now is the accepted time, now is the day of salvation and cleansing from all filthiness to have a conscience void of offence towards man and God. Delay is dangerous, rise up now and embrace him who died to make you whole body soul and spirit.

Confession of the Day
I will walk in my integrity of heart by faith in the son of God that love me and gave himself for me. I have the righteousness of God in me through Christ Jesus my redeemer.
Prayer Points
Lord I have no excuse to live below your standard of holiness and integrity of heart, therefore, I yield my soul spirit and body without any reservation to you, accept me and let me be yours forever, let not Satan, flesh, sins and evil spirits have dominion over me; translate me into your dear kingdom far above principalities and powers to reign with you now and forever more.

STERLING LEADERSHIP

D.C.L.M. DAILY   MANNA WEDNESDAY 9TH MAY, 2018 STERLING LEADERSHIP TEXT: GENESIS 47:13-31 KEY VERSE: “And they said, Thou hast saved our lives: let us find grace in the sight of my lord, and we shall be Pharaoh’s servants” (GENESIS 47:25). “No one needs aspire to leadership in the work of God who is not willing to pay the price greater than his/her contemporaries and colleagues are willing to pay. The more effective the leader is, the higher the price to be paid”, said J Oswald. Joseph stands out as an enduring proof of what the grace of God can do for a perfect, upright and diligent child of God. The expected season of the lean kine finally came. Pharaoh was prepared only because of Joseph’s astuteness in the management of the trust conferred upon him. He started to alleviate the suffering of masses by exchanging corn for money, then corn for land. In an uncanny display of shrewdness, he ultimately transferred the national wealth and citizens to the crown and saved the

WELL OF LIFE

March 3 WELL OF LIFE The mouth of a righteous man is a well of life . . . . — PROVERBS 10:11 Immediately after the birth of our son and daughter, I took those little ones into my hands and said, “Lord, I thank You for this child. Because I know the Bible, I realize it is my responsibility to train up this child in the way it should go, and when it is old, it will not depart from it. “I realize Your Word says to bring our children up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord, and I’m going to do that. I know that children are taught in two ways: By precept and by example. So I’m going to live right in front of this child. I will set the right example. Then, too, I know that you can have what you say, so I say over this child that it will grow up strong physically, without sickness and without disease; it will be alert mentally; and stalwart spiritually.” Our children grew up without sickness and disease. I never prayed a prayer that they would be saved. I never prayed a prayer that they

SUPPLYING OUR NEEDS

May 3 SUPPLYING OUR NEEDS But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. — PHILIPPIANS 4:19 It is God’s will that our needs be met. All of them! Philippians 4:19 includes all of your needs (all means all!), whether spiritual, physical, material, or financial. Believe that! Lest someone think that God is not concerned about our financial needs, this verse is set in a context which discusses material and financial affairs. Read it and you will see that the Philippians had taken up an offering of money and goods to send to other Christians. Paul was telling them, “Because you have given to others and have helped them, my God shall supply all your need.” So Paul was talking about material and financial matters. With what boldness, then, we can pray for finances to meet our obligations! Having all of our needs met is according to God’s will! Confession: When I pray concerning finances, I pray according to God’s Word — His will. Therefore, I am confid
