"Courage (valor & vigor), Perseverance, Integrity & Hope"
Courage; being brave in the face of challenges, difficulties, trials and hardship both in life & ministry.
also valor and vigor: a sure confidence that stems from an assurance given by the word, about God's spirit always being with us at all times, never leaving our hearts till the end of the age!
Perseverance; the mentality of never giving up on doing what God has ordered one to do.
Between now and one's destiny lies myriads of challenges, heartbreaks, tough times.
The Journey is not a smooth sail but a rough path.
Perseverance; ability to persist in difficult situations, never looking back or backing down on God's sure word of prophecy
Integrity; honesty and trustworthiness.
Being able to keep to one's word.
Being a person with a good character, of a righteous spirit, of good conduct, moral virtues and sound report.
The same way our heavenly father is known for the integrity of his word, we are to conduct ourselves in an upright manner before God and before men
Hope; Optimism and being future minded of the glorious hope that awaits one who follows Christ in this life & to the next.
our hope of gaining a hundred fold of the things we've left behind to follow Christ
our hope in God's ability to supply our wants & needs
& lastly our hope in the resurrection on the last day!
These four cardinal virtues are expedient in the life of anyone who want to be useful and fruitful in God's vineyard.
