Who are you when nobody is looking?


When your words and actions match, people know they can trust you.




Nehemiah showed a consistent level of integrity in his life. Due to his integrity, people respected him and trusted him.

Have you ever wondered why some people around you don't respect you, ever wondered why they dont trust you? Do you just pass the blame over to them...maybe you need to check yourself?Are you a person of integrity?

You ask,what is integrity?

Integrity: Integrity is about the small things; it is important to building relationships and it is the foundation upon which many other qualities for success are built; such as respect, dignity and trust.

Integrity is who you are when nobody is looking?

So who are you when nobody is looking?

With integrity, you show your personal character to others.

‘Character is made in the small amounts of our lives’

Did you smile at someone today,were you truthful today, did you forgive easily,were you on time, were you humble...what small amounts of your lie today built or destroyed your character?

Integrity is about standards; maintaining the standard of God at all times; always wanting to do the best, be the best in all situations regardless of anything. Integrity perseveres to maintain itself.

Be the kind of person that God blesses, work on your inside what God sees more than your image of what people see more. Because eventually your great inside will influence and impact your outside image.


1.    Integrity is not determined by circumstances
2.    Integrity is not based on credentials (your achievements; what you have done)
3.  Integrity is not to be confused with reputation. (Reputation is what people say about us, what they hear, what they understand or don't understand)


Credentials
Character


Turns the focus to rights
Keeps the focus on responsibilities
Adds value to only one person
Adds value to many people
Looks to past accomplishments
Builds a legacy for the future
Often evokes jealousy in others
Generates respect and integrity
Can only get you in the door
Keeps you there
