ALL BELIEVERS IN JESUS CHRIST ARE CALLED TO FIGHT CORRUPTION

By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi 

    Believers in Jesus Christ are called to live exemplary lives, showing integrity and resisting corruption in all its forms. Titus 2:7 says, “In all things showing yourself to be a pattern of good works; in doctrine showing integrity, reverence, incorruptibility.” This verse emphasizes that Christians are to be role models of good conduct, reflecting Christ’s character wherever they find themselves.

Titus 2:10 advises servants “not purloining, but showing all good fidelity.” The Greek word for “purloining” is nosphizomai, which means to embezzle, withhold, or steal for personal gain. This term highlights dishonest practices that contradict the integrity expected of believers. As followers of Christ, we must avoid all forms of deceit and dishonesty.

    Contrary to the claims of some modern preachers, becoming successful through corruption is not an act of grace. Titus 2:11-12 teaches, “For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men, teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present age.” True grace empowers believers to reject corruption and embrace good works.

Other Scriptures reinforce this call to integrity. Proverbs 10:9 states, “He who walks in integrity walks securely, but he who perverts his ways will be found out.” Additionally, Ephesians 4:28 commands, “Let him who stole steal no longer, but rather let him labor, working with his hands what is good.”

Christians are called to fight corruption by living lives of honesty, integrity, and good works, reflecting the grace and truth of Jesus Christ.

 In our daily prayers we should seek a healthy appetite for God's word and boldness to resist corruption wherever it is found .

PRAYER: Heavenly Father forgive me of my sins against you I believe Jesus Christ died and was raised again for my salvation I receive him as lord and saviour and receive the Holy Spirit and power to overcome corruption.
