4. 1. Integrity.
If you don’t have integrity, it’s not real success; it’s phony success.
Proverbs 10:9 says, “The man of integrity walks securely. He who takes crooked paths will be found out.” 
One of the benefits of walking in integrity is confidence because you have nothing to hide. Confidence comes from having no fear of being found out.

5. 2. Humility.
Proverbs 29:23 (Good News Bible) “Arrogance will bring your downfall but if you’re humble, you will be respected.” 
The Bible also says, “Clothe yourselves in humility”. If you want to dress for success, that’s a good way to dress.

6. The Bible says, “Before honour is humility
The Bible says, “Before honour is humility.” So, when we admit we’re wrong, rather than being downgraded in people’s eyes, we’re raised in people’s eyes.

8. Some people say they are going to help but they don’t.
Have you ever met anybody like that? Always promising the moon but delivering nothing.
Some people say they are going to help but they don’t.
Some people are long on promises but short on performance.
Napoleon once wrongly said, “Promise everything, deliver nothing.” He could have been a politician That’s not the way to live.

The average person lives 25,550 days. How you invest that time is totally up to you. You can waste it, you can spend it, or you can invest it

11. 5. Generosity.
Proverbs 11:16 declares, “He who gives generously to the needy and shows kindness will be powerful and respected.” 
God’s attention is always drawn to givers and not receivers The Bible tells us ‘God loves a cheerful giver’ and ‘It is better to give than receive’.

12. 5. Spirituality.
You get God’s attention by making Him the priority in your life and getting close to Him.
Proverbs 3:4-6 (Living Bible) “If you want favour with God and man and a reputation for good judgment and common sense, then trust the Lord completely. In everything you do put God first and He will direct you and crown your efforts with success.”

13. Notice it says, “If you want favour with man as well as with God…” When you put God first in your life, it not only gives you favour with God but it gives you favour with man. People are drawn to those who naturally love the Lord, those who are naturally in love with Jesus.
Let everyone of us all draw God’s attention this morning by our integrity, humility, dependability, priority, generosity and spirituality!
