BIBLE PASSAGE: DANIEL 6:1-5
1 It pleased Darius to set over the kingdom an hundred and twenty princes, which should be over the whole kingdom;
2 And over these three presidents; of whom Daniel was first: that the princes might give accounts unto them, and the king should have no damage.
3 Then this Daniel was preferred above the presidents and princes, because an excellent spirit was in him; and the king thought to set him over the whole realm.
4 Then the presidents and princes sought to find occasion against Daniel concerning the kingdom; but they could find none occasion nor fault; forasmuch as he was faithful, neither was there any error or fault found in him.
5 Then said these men, We shall not find any occasion against this Daniel, except we find it against him concerning the law of his God.
Lesson 5: RCCG Sunday School Student’s Manual 3rd October 2021 | Integrity
INTRODUCTION
The Hebrew word translated “integrity” means the condition of being without”blemish it connotes completeness, perfection, sincerity, soundness, uprightness, wholeness”. Integrity is a practice of being honest and showing a consistent and uncompromising adherence to strong moral and ethical principles and values. It is standing for the truth regardless of its consequences (Job 2:9-10; Daniel 3:16-18). It is also when a person walks his talk (1Samuel 12:2-4). Although integrity comes with diverse challenges, yet, it is so important and highly rewarding.
LESSON OUTLINES
1. IMPORTANCE OF INTEGRITY
2. BIBLICAL INSTANCES AND REWARDS OF INTEGRITY
IMPORTANCE OF INTEGRITY
Integrity should be the core quality of every believer’s life. It is a fundamental proof of one’s belief in the Gospel of our Lord Jesus (2Corinthians 5:17; Hebrews 4:15) and also prove to others that one is a child of God (Like 4:1-4). Integrity is a character which makes a person not to waiver (Job 2:9). Through integrity, a person becomes not just confidence but also reliable to family members, subordinates and superiors (1Samuel 12:3-4). Integrity makes a person to be honest in character, honour their words, promises and be committed to responsibilities (Joshua 2:12-14; 6:22-23). It helps a person to recognize his/her weakness, take responsibilities for actions or inactions (2Samuel 12:13) and take necessary corrective action for failure without minding the cost (Genesis 26:9-11). It makes a person to be consistently truthful (Luke 16:10). Integrity will help you gain respect and trust from your peers and leaders.

BIBLICAL INSTANCES AND REWARDS OF INTEGRITY
Searching through the Bible, we find characters that are classical examples of integrity. Below are some of them;
• Abimelech, the king of Gerar (Genesis 20:3-7)
• Joseph (Genesis 47:14)
• Prophet Samuel (1Samuel 12:3-4)
• King David (1Kings 9:4)
• Job (Job 2:3; 9-10)
• Apostle Paul (Acts 20:32 33)
• The Lord Jesus Christ (John 14:30).
Integrity, despite its challenges in the world we live in, has numerous rewards. God will vouch for the person (Genesis 18:19; Job 2:3) and keep the fellow from falling into sin (Genesis 20:5-6). Also, the fellow will live in peace (Psalm 37:37) and enjoy divine guidance (Proverbs 11:3). A person of integrity we enjoy unprecedented promotion, favour and good success (Genesis 41:39-41). He will also enjoy divine provisions (Psalm 84:11). God will preserve (Psalm 25:21-22; Daniel 6:20-22) and give him generational blessing (Proverbs 20:7).
CONCLUSION
It is impossible to have real integrity without Jesus as our Lord and Savior. Therefore, we must be in Christ to exhibit integrity it is highly rewarding.
