God is always looking at the integrity of the heart in every person ( believer and a non believer). The integrity always keeps you honest before God. God is always protecting the people with a heart of integrity. The Bible says God protected Abhimelech from sinning against Him because God has seen the integrity of his heart.
What does it mean to have a heart of integrity?
○ Having a clear conscience
○ Having pure intentions of heart
A heart of integrity :
- Brings Life not death
- Brings answers to your pleas. ( Makes God hear you )
- Removes confusion , chaos in life
- Makes you aware of Gods warnings
- Helps you respond to Gods warnings and repent
- Brings Gods mercy upon you.
Integrity saves you from :
- Sinning ( Dangers of sin )
- Destruction
- Shame
- Doing anything wrong knowingly and unknowingly
When you walk your life with a heart of integrity- God intervenes in your life , in your circumstances and situations and saves you from trouble. It will help you listen to the voice of God. You will get directions from God on what to do to come out of a hard situation. Not only does it bring you out of difficult situations, it will also heal you and your family. In Abhimelech’s case, God healed his family to bear children again. Integrity opens the door for Gods blessings in life. When you refuse to walk with a heart of integrity it blocks the blessings in your life. It blocks your eyes from seeing good things. It blocks your ears from hearing the voice of God. Bible clearly says that the one who is pure in heart will see God. Maintaining a clear conscience matters.
A heart of integrity makes God speak to you, it makes God come down to rescue you. Choose to walk with a heart of integrity today and you will see God and His hand at work in every aspect of your life.
Prayer
Father in Jesus Name , I come before you today and I choose to walk with a heart of integrity before you. Help me and lead me this day to see your guidances and walk in your path successfully. In Jesus name I pray amen.
Bible References:
“Now Abimelech had not come near her; and he said, “Lord, will You slay a nation, even though blameless? Did he not himself say to me, ‘She is my sister’? And she herself said, ‘He is my brother.’ In the integrity of my heart and the innocence of my hands I have done this.” Then God said to him in the dream, “Yes, I know that in the integrity of your heart you have done this, and I also kept you from sinning against Me; therefore I did not let you touch her.”
Genesis 20:4-6 NASB
“Then in the dream God replied to him, “Yes, I know that you have done this with a clear conscience. That is why I have kept you from sinning against me and why I did not allow you to touch her.”
Genesis 20:6 NET
