The issue of intergrity. I won't  be shocked if I was to conduct a random survey and realise that just a few of us know about intergrity. In this world, our temporary  abode, the Intergrity  of every single  individual is a question silently mouth by all and sundry. Why on earth would I want to engage in any profitable  venture with you when your integrity is very much questionable?  We ought to have intergrity  because in my candid opinion, intergrity  makes a nation, an individual  and a group whole. If only we could vouch for our leaders, we won't be burdened  by poverty, corruption  and all things unpleasant.

The integrating factor of our lives.....
An integrating factor is one that makes whole or complete. I listened to one of our youth facilitators talk to us about this topic last year and I have kept  this message as a guide to my life .
Let's picture  a huge tree, we would all agree that the roots provide it with stability, the roots also serve as a conduit for soil nutrients  for growth and establishment  of the tree and  also,without  the roots, the tree cannot exist. This is a fact of life!

Without an integrating  factor, a makeshift root, for our lives, we cannot stand. In fact,  the roots enable the branches to  bear fruits.!  So we need an integrating  factor in our lives, so that when to winds blow and the storms rage in our  lives, we can stand - show integrity.  As humans, our integrating factor, must be God. Once we  have God, when we blossom and bear beautiful  fruits, we cannot attribute our present condition to our own efforts. Because  like I said, no root,no life! When the season of drought creeps on us and our leaves dry out and fall and our fruits fail to appear, we will understand that we have to reach out to our root to save us.

In clearer  terms, if we reach the apex of our lives and failures, hardship and toil overwhelm us,we have  no choice than to seek God. The integrating factor of our lives!
