    The document discusses the importance of integrity in partnerships and agreements. It references a biblical story where the Israelites made an agreement with the Gibeonites under false pretenses, but later upheld the agreement anyway once it was made. The key lessons are: 1) Do proper due diligence before entering agreements; 2) Once an agreement is made, adhere to it even if you feel misled; and 3) Respecting agreements, even with weaker parties, demonstrates ultimate integrity. Joshua set this example by upholding the agreement with the Gibeonites and mobilizing his army to help them when they were attacked. Maintaining integrity in partnerships and agreements is important.

    PARTNERSHIP & INTEGRITY

    Scripture reading from the Old Testament.

    Partnership Definition

    1: the state of being a partner: participation.


    2: a legal relation existing between two or more persons contractually associated as joint principals in a
    business.
    Partnerships: We must always, always respect agreements, and contracts.....
    In the book of Joshua, there is a story about a group of people, called the Gibeonites, who managed to
    secure an agreement with Joshua and his leadership team, by false pretences. When the leadership of the
    Israelites, discovered what had happened, they were furious. The intriguing thing is what happened next:
    Joshua 9:18-20
    18 .The people of Israel were angry with their leaders because of the peace treaty.
    19 But the leaders replied, "We have sworn before the Lord God of Israel that we will not touch them, and
    we won't.
    20 We must let them live, for if we break our oath, the wrath of Jehovah will be upon us."
    "These things were written, for our learning";
    so what do you learn from this incident, that can be of help to you, in your business, even today?
    1. Before you enter into agreements, of any kind to work with other people, you must do your due
    diligence of those people properly. However once, you enter into an agreement, and you give your
    word, you must adhere to the agreement,that you signed!
    2. All too often, people try to back out of agreements, they have made if they find, they believe they
    were misled, or the other party, did not give them the right information about themselves, or even
    misled them.
    2. Adhering to, and respecting an agreement, with a party that you consider weaker, than yourself, is the
    ultimate test of integrity.
    Joshua's integrity was tested to the full, when the Gibeonites, were attacked, and appealed for his help,
    under the agreement.
    Now, many people would have said, "this is God's vengeance against those lying cheats, let them deal with
    it, themselves".............read on!

    -Joshua mobilized his army to go out and fight the enemies of the Gibeonites.
    -And here is another thing; God joined the fight, with Joshua, to help save the Gibeonites!
    When you enter into an agreement, whether it be verbal or written, you must respect it.
    To sum it all up we must dwell in the presence of the Lord and know that God loves integrity.
    GOD BLESS THE READING OF HIS WORD.
