YOUR

REPUTATION
PRECEDES YOU
PS. BONI L. MARTINEZ
 ECCLESIASTES 7:1
“A good name is better than precious
ointment.”
 REMEMBER THAT YOUR
CHARACTER IS A REFLECTION
OF EVERYTHING YOU ARE, AND
YOUR GOOD NAME IS A
REFLECTION OF YOUR
CHARACTER.
WE’RE KNOWN BY THE FOLLOWING
SEVEN THINGS:
1. By what we want most.
2. By what we think about most.
3. By how we use our money.
4. By what we do with our leisure time.
5. By the company we keep and the company we enjoy.
6. By who and what we admire.
7. By what we laugh at.
 REMEMBER THAT YOUR
REPUTATION IS FAR MORE
EASILY MAINTAINED
THAN IT IS REGAINED.
 DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
PRECEDE AND PROCEED.
PRECEDE means before.
PROCEED means to carry on or go
forward.
 WHAT IS CHARACTER?
Character – one of the attributes or
features that make up and distinguish an
individual.

And what union can there be between
God’s temple and idols? For we are the

will live in them and walk among them. I
will be their God, and they will be my
people.”

will never fail you. I will never abandon
you.”

This is what the Lord says – your
Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: “I am
the Lord your God, who teaches you what
is good for you and leads you along the
paths you should follow.”
