Title: Live above Board.

He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much: and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much.

Luke 16:10 KJV

Devotion: In Nigeria as in many other countries corruption is pervasive and many people often talk about it. Most of the time people in leadership positions are blamed and nobody blames himself or herself.

My argument always is that corruption starts from the homes, when the parents lie to the children, some children lie or steal and are protected by the parents. It can be explained by this story. The school fees prescribed by goverment is ₦2000, the school demands ₦2500 and the child tells the mother that he/she was asked to pay ₦2700. When the father arrives the mother demands ₦3000. In this chain someone has added to the actual fees to be paid. None of the people is truthful in the small matter. When such persons become leaders they cannot be truthful because they are not truthful in small matters 

 The only solution to this is to give our lives to Christ and live in total obedience. As parents we must bring up our children in the way of God from birth so that they will live a righteous life when they become adults.
