Integrity matters, when it is called into question. Character is relevant, when it benefits you more to disregard it. The significance of a sword can only be evaluated if measured, under the test of duress.
A man that works to impress other men, will always be subject to those men, but a man who seeks to please God, is a man that eventually will. His efforts will never go unnoticed, but he must remain steadfast.
Any sacrifice you make to the Lord, will be matched in kind. What you sow is what you will reap, in this life and in the next. What do you honor on earth will be honored in heaven, what you endorse on earth will be endorsed in heaven.
The anointing you carry requires accountability. MY consecration does not give you a license to sin, but it does intensify the scrutiny, on the day of judgement. Be humble and ignore the affirmations of men, because on that day, you will stand alone and on your own merits.
Luke 12:48
But someone who does not know, and then does something wrong, will be punished only lightly. When someone has been given much, much will be required in return; and when someone has been entrusted with much, even more will be required.
