Character,Conduct, and Commitment

You must have Excellence of Ministry through your conduct, character, and commitment to God, yourself, and others in order to be a credible witness to others.

Your character is who you are as a person and how you are regarded as by other people that know you on a personal level. Your conduct is your character on display. Your character is manifested in your conduct. You commitment is how your character and conduct shows your integrity as a person.

Your integrity is shown when your character, conduct, and commitment has been put to the test against difficulty and has been proven. Be sure you stay steadfast, unmoveable, and unshakeable in all even when your back is up against the wall.

Just focus on 1 Peter 5:9, "Whom reist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethern that are in the world. But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Jesus,afther that ye have suffered awhile, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, and settle you."

So when times seem hard remain stedfast and put it in God's hands and keep it in prayer.

Right In God Honors Truth

So many people saved and unsaved believe that getting into Heaven means nothing more than being a good person. Although we are supposed to be good, it takes being RIGHT with God. You have to ask yourself the following questions.
1.) Am I living righteously?
2.) Am I keeping his commandments, statues, and judgements?
3.) Am I filled with and baptized with the Holy Spirit?
4.) Am I unmovable, steadfast, unshakable, and abounding in the word of God?
5.) Am I a credible witness for Jesus?

To be righteous means that you do right by God. We know that Jesus was the only perfect man. We also know that we are not perfect. However, God wants to know that he can trust us to come to him and put him first and that when we do something that is not right by him, that we confess and repent our sins and give him the glory and honor regardless of the situation.

In John 14:21,Jesus says, " He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is who loves Me. He who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and i will love him and manifest Myself to him."

When you are filled with and baptized with the Holy Spirit, there are certain people, places, activities, and things that you will not involve yourself with in any fashion. You have to take your mind and put it in line with the spirit of God in order to stop carnality. In Romans 8:9-10, " But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His, and if Christ is in you the body is dead because of sin, but Spirit is life because of righteousness."

You have to remain unmovable, unshakable, steadfast, and abounding for the word of God at all times whether they are good or bad. Give God the glory. You have to check the situation at the door with God. Always look to God to give you the answer and stay right with God. Psalms 150:6, "Let everything that has breath, praise ye the Lord."

Remember that although being a good person is wonderful, there are plenty of good people that still go to hell. In order to get to Heaven, you must be a child of God.
