*FRUITFULNESS IN AFFLICTION (2): THE PLACE OF INTEGRITY*


*By Pastor E O Gabriel  05 June 2025: Share*


SCRIPTURE: Let Integrity and Uprightness Preserve me, For I wait for You -*Psalms 25:21*


*We have once established that it is Possible to be Fruitful in affliction.* 


*Joseph named his Second son Ephraim, meaning the Lord has made me Fruitful in the Land of my affliction.*


*It is important to know that one of the key Prerequisite of Fruitfulness in affliction, is the ability to maintain Integrity.*


*Integrity comes from the word integers in mathematics, this refers to Whole Numbers.*


*Integrity therefore is a quality of being Whole. It is being Honest.*


The Bible says let your communication be Yea,  and Nay nay; for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil - *Matthew 5:37*


*A Man of Integrity has no hidden Agenda, he says what he means and he means what he says.*


*It is important to know that if a Man can maintain his Integrity in affliction, he will surely be Fruitful.*


God told the devil about Job in the midst of affliction: "Have you consider my Servant Job, none like him, a Perfect and Upright Man, one who fears God and eschewed evil?" and still holds his Integrity - *Job 2:3*


Job's wife said to him; Thou still hold your Integrity , curse God  and die - *Job 2:9*


Job replied her: You have spoken like one of the foolish women - *Job 2:10*


*This means it is foolishness to loose Integrity in affliction.*


Job himself said till I die I will not remove mine Integrity from me - *Job 27:5*


Integrity Preserves a Man in affliction according to our Anchor Text above. The same way a freezer Preserves food from decay, Integrity guides in affliction. 


The Bible says the Integrity of the Upright shall guide them and the Perversity of the Transgressors shall destroy them - *Proverbs 11:3*


Job retained his Integrity in affliction and God blessed his latter End more than his Beginning - *Job 42:12*


Joseph refused to compromise his Integrity and the Lord made him Fruitful in the Land of his affliction - *Genesis 41:52*


*Prayer:*

Father, Please help me to retain and maintain my Integrity in all mine afflictions in Life in Jesus Christ Name.

And in the beginning, God created the earth. It means, in the beginning, Love created the earth. So, the earth was created by Love and it is meant to be operated by love.* •Unfortunately, we live in a generation where many people are bankrupt of love.  •It is important, therefore, to understand the major principles of love, that is, what love is all about.  •N...
