Character and Integrity

You don’t learn character from Bible colleges, etc, you grow in character and you become a person of character through patience and relationship with the Lord and with one another. One of prequalifications for spiritual leadership is character; the Lord wants us to become leaders of character and integrity. Character is first then good doctrine is second; sound character will lead to sound doctrine. You may know the Bible, you may be a good teacher, you may be very gifted, you may be anointed, and you may have good leadership skills but without sound character you cannot hold a leadership position. –(1 Tim. 3:1-13)
Integrity of your word, and integrity of walk and relationship is what the board of elders need from church to church, but we need must more, we need the integrity of the heart. You may have integrity of word, integrity of action, and integrity of relationship, but if you don’t have integrity of the heart, the Lord will know, and He will deal with your heart in His mercy. –(Psa. 7:8)
Yes you are not perfect, yes we are not called to be perfections, and you will not be 100% right on, you may not have all character, and you may not have all integrity, but if you have character of heart and integrity of heart you may enter into the eldership. –(Jam. 3:1,13-18)
Guidelines to maintain proper good character: Set priorities, family first, Jesus first, relax and rest times, cleansing times, accountable to mature apostles, Learn and apply wisdom, humble and meek heart to hear one another, relationship and fellowship with the city church, the body of Christ. –(Eccl. 4:9-12)
What happens if you fail in character: relationships with women, etc, handling money, and maintaining the liberty of the believers, you are to seek repentance and restoration from mature apostles, and take leave of ministry for a period of time, in submission and oversight of mature apostles. –(Gal. 6:1)
We grow in character through patience and relationship with the Lord and one another, and through fathering and mentoring from apostolic fathering apostles. This is why we need apostolic fathers to love, and care, mentoring is for a short period of time, and fathering is for a lifetime. –(1 Cor. 4:15)
What areas of your life that you are strong in character and then what areas that you are weak in character, knowing is half the battle, and there is grace to grow in character, for we learn when we fail, when we fall, we learn to get up again, and we learn character. –(Prov. 24:16, 28:13)
We need true character building fathering ministries and networks to come from the hearts of true apostles, and began to heal and lead in character and integrity in spiritual leadership. –(1 Sam. 22:1-2)
