KINGDOM BUSINESS INTERGRITY

Title: "Kingdom Business Integrity: A Christian's Call to Shine in a Darkened World"

Introduction:
Good morning, beloved congregation. Today, we gather to discuss an important aspect of our Christian faith: Kingdom Business Integrity. In a world filled with deceit and corruption, how should we, as Christians, conduct ourselves in the realm of business? Let us delve into the Scriptures and the examples of businesspeople in the Bible to find guidance and inspiration.

1. **The Foundation of Integrity: God's Word**
   - Proverbs 11:3: "The integrity of the upright guides them, but the unfaithful are destroyed by their duplicity."
   - Psalm 15:2: "Those who walk blamelessly and do what is right and speak the truth from their heart."

   As Christians, our foundation for integrity lies in God's Word. It should guide every decision and action in our business endeavors.

2. **Joseph: A Model of Integrity**
   - Genesis 39:6-12: The story of Joseph and Potiphar's wife exemplifies unwavering integrity in the face of temptation.
   
   Joseph's commitment to God's principles of honesty and purity in a foreign land teaches us that integrity transcends borders and circumstances.

3. **Daniel: Uncompromising Faith**
   - Daniel 6:4-5: Daniel's faithfulness, even when facing the lion's den, showcases unwavering commitment to God's ways.

   Daniel's courage in adhering to his faith while conducting business in a foreign court illustrates the power of unwavering faith.

4. **Zacchaeus: A Transformation of Heart**
   - Luke 19:8-9: Zacchaeus's encounter with Jesus led to a transformation, resulting in him making amends for his past dishonesty.

   Zacchaeus teaches us that it's never too late to turn from dishonesty and embrace integrity, even in the realm of finance.

5. **Christ's Teaching on Kingdom Business**
   - Matthew 6:19-21: "Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also."

   Jesus reminds us of the eternal perspective we should have in our business dealings, emphasizing the importance of our hearts' alignment with God's Kingdom.

Conclusion:
In a world that often prioritizes profit over principles, we, as Christians, are called to be a light in the darkness. Our business integrity should reflect the character of our Heavenly Father, drawing others to His love and righteousness.

Let us remember the examples of Joseph, Daniel, Zacchaeus, and the teachings of Christ as we navigate the world of business. May our actions be guided by unwavering integrity, shining the light of God's Kingdom in all that we do. Amen.

According to the group, Lalong should be punished for bringing the name of Pope and the Catholic Church to disrepute while giving his reasons for accepting to serve as Director General of the APC Presidential Campaign Council.
