Devotional Message
with Pastor David Maini
Accountability
Accountability refers to anything one has or has been delegated to look after and nurture it. And once this is done accurately and nicely, it is then called transparency. When accountability and transparency combine, the outcome is integrity forming a character.
It is indeed a crucial mandate for us to question ourselves every morning as we wake up, What I am I accountable for? Who am I accountable to? In every instance, we have absolutely a primary responsibility and a secondary and probably a tertiary.
For example, I am a man in a community, a husband to my wife and a father to my children. What is my primary responsibility as a man in the community, husband to my wife, and as a father to my children. And then what is my secondary responsibility, for me, I am a Pastor, serving a church. If I know all these fully well, I am accountable and once I, do it right and properly, I am transparent and many people will see my personality. And If I were to give account for this, I must know my due diligence.
