We serve a God who fulfills all of His promises. Everything He says, He brings to pass. And the scripture says that we’ve been made in His likeness. As ambassadors for Christ, we should strive to be people of integrity. We should be people of respect and dignity.

In your everyday life, make it a point to walk the talk.  Be a person of your word. When you make a promise you should stand behind it. God not only wants us to be in right standings with Him,  but He wants us to be in right standings with the people around us.

Aim to be a person of integrity and stand behind your word. Don’t just talk the talk, no, you have to walk the walk. If you honor your word, people will honor you. And more importantly, God will honor you.

When you’re honored by God, He causes His divine favor to reign over you. He then causes you to triumph in every area of your life.

I heard a great saying. “Preach always and use words only when necessary.” How do you do this? It’s simply done by letting your actions do the talking. You do it by living a honorable life full of integrity.

If you say you’re going to do something, do it. Maybe you’re asked to attend an event. If you promise to be there, stand on your promise. Maybe you’ve opted in to be at a certain place at a certain time, try to honor that. It’s hard to regain your integrity once it’s been lost.

People are not always listening to what you say as much as they’re looking at what you do. They’re looking to see if you’ll follow through with your word.

It would be a sad story if God, the creator of the universe, had failed promises. But in the same way that God hasn’t fallen back on His word, don’t go back on yours.

Your actions speak louder than your words. So make a point to walk the walk and not just talk the talk. When you do so, God will honor you and cause you to rise to a higher dimension as you charge forth on your journey of life!

As children of the most High God, we’re called to a higher level of love. We’re to be a light and set an example. When we confess to being Christians, people naturally expect more of us. They’re looking to see if we’re not only talking the talk, but that we’re walking the walk.

Being a light in a dark world isn’t just a part-time job. It’s not something that we do 8-5 then take off the apron, sigh a big sigh, and then go be mean to people. Walking in the love of Christ isn’t just in our daily job description, no it’s a way of life.

It’s something we do day in and day out. Whether you’re at church or at the job- whether you’re at school or on vacation, you should always operate in the love of Christ.

I think of people whose everyday job is to serve the public. Naturally as long as they’re on the clock, it’s in there job description to greet the people- to be kind, smile, and be friendly. As a part of their job description, they’re required to go out of their way to make sure the customer’s needs are met. For them, the customer always comes first. But as soon as they’re off the clock, as soon as they walk out the door, they’re no longer required to operate in kindness, or to smile or to be friendly.

But as ambassadors for Christ, we are not part-time servers. No, we’re called to always be a light in the world. It’s not just in our job description, it’s a way of life. We should always be joyful and friendly. We shouldn’t be self-seeking. Instead, we should love our neighbors and do good to others.

When you wake up in the morning, make a decision that you’ll look for ways to bless others. Let this be a part of your everyday life. When you do this, not only will God get all the glory, but you will get immediate gratification as you charge forth on your journey of life!

Were given many choices in life. When we come to a fork in the road, we have the choice to go either left or right. When we come to a crossroad, we can either turn around, go left, right, or keep straight ahead.

Naturally, we will make decisions that make us feel the most comfortable at the time. We feel that whatever makes us comfortable is the decision to make. When in actuality, the comfortable decision isn’t always the right decision.

In other words, the decision that’s pleasing to the flesh isn’t always the decision that God wants you to make. He want you to be a person of integrity. He wants you to make decisions that have an overall positive impact on life.

In every aspect of your life, you should want to do what is right. But it’s often easier said than done. Sometimes, doing what is right is putting others first for a change. Doing what is right is going home to study when your friends want to go party.

Doing what is right may mean saving money rather than spending it on that dress down at the corner shop. It may mean arriving to work ten minutes early so that you’re working by eight o clock on the dot. Doing what is right may mean eating a salad rather than something that’s fattening. What’s right could mean helping a neighbor carry in the groceries.

When making the decision to do whats right it may put us out of our comfort zone and that’s natural. But know that in the long run those right decisions that you make will have a better impact on your life and the life of another. Make a decision today to do what is right as you charge forth on your journey of life!
