This document discusses the ethics of investiture in the Adventist Youth Ministry. It notes that there have been compromises that have negatively impacted young people and the church. The presentation aims to call on those involved in youth investiture to uphold high ethical standards. It defines key terms and outlines some ethics of investiture, such as only investing youth who have satisfactorily completed requirements.

Application of a Wisdom Test to Christian Leadersijtsrd
Wisdom is an ancient concept. It has been a fascinating subject in philosophy, psychology, and religion for centuries. Leading a church requires a lot of wisdom. The role of wisdom in effective Christian leadership remains understudied. This study considers wisdom from the Christian leadership perspective. The purpose of this study is to develop a wisdom test and then apply it in measuring wisdom in Christian leadership. The study developed an appropriate wisdom test, which was used to assess wisdom of selected the Christian leaders. Forty participants who are Christian leaders from Nigeria based in the United States were surveyed. The study shows that wisdom is demonstrated by a humble and modest lifestyle Christian leaders are guided by integrity and the Golden rule and setting lifetime goals is important. Matthew N. O.

Inner-city African American boys involved with the juvenile justice system often lack healthy relationships with adult males an important component in making a successful transition to adulthood as well as in identifying unfilled needs and exploring potential solutions that will result in needs satisfaction. Too often, these boys end up becoming disengaged from school and tend not to participate in constructive social activities, thereby further limiting their possibilities for positive contact with good role models.

PASTORAL COUNSELOR’S IDENTITY AND ETHICS PAPER
This paper introduces expectations delineated in the instructions for this experimental learning activity (i.e., the development of professional identity within a vocationally responsible ethical framework). The reader should not assume this paper to be exhaustive or authoritative in nature, but rather one with a future application to a soul-care context.
I. Paradigm for Identity and Ethical Boundaries
Paramount in any vocational ministry is the need to adhere to a biblical code of ethics; that is, a minimal standard that identifies oneself as a competent and trustworthy Christian vocational worker. While this is not a goal that may be achieved quickly, a pastor should work towards developing a set of standards to ensure competency and professional awareness in all his/her counseling endeavors. The creation of the standard does not make the pastor an expert in any area, yet ensures he will make every effort to do the right thing for all careseekers.

1.The following are an additional five unacceptable behaviors I would add to a department’s SOP.
Off duty personal conduct
- acting out above the law just because you are the law should be prohibited. Although many departments already utilize policy against this, many times these things are overlooked. Driving infractions, such as speeding, drinking and driving, etc., should be highly discouraged. Actions an officer would be expected to confront, as in public drunkenness, disorderly conduct, domestic violence, etc., are further examples.
Social Media
- Portraying yourself or the department in a negative light should be prohibited. By doing so, one could open themselves or the department to possible legal recourse. Personally, one could damage their credibility within the legal realm of their position. Professionally, it could damage your position within the department, and damage the departments image.
Abuse of authority
- Using your position to negatively influence others should be discouraged. Any attempt to utilize the badge for any reason other than lawful purposes should be seen as unethical. This could be trying to get out of a ticket, intimidate someone for your benefit or that of family/ friends, encouraging a relationship, etc. The badge repr.

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

1. CERTIFYING FOR THE KINGDOM: ETHICS OF INVESTITURE
A LECTURE PRESENTED
BY
PASTOR ENYINNAYA KALU KALU UGURU
DURING THE
SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST CHURCH
EASTERN NIGERIA UNION CONFERENCE (ENUC)
MAIDEN SENIOR YOUTH LEADERSHIP (SYL) AWARD AND CELEBRATION
AT
ENUC HEADQUARTERS, ABA
ON
MARCH 4 – 6, 2022.
2. INTRODUCTION
It is indeed a rare privilege to stand before
you to make this presentation on the
occasion of the Eastern Nigeria Union
Conference (ENUC) Maiden Senior Youth
Leadership Award and Celebration.
3. It is no longer news that there are noticeable compromises in the
investiture programme, (from preparation of the young people to
the ceremony itself). The outcomes of such compromises are
clear and glaring. The rebellion, hooliganism, the neglect of
church doctrines and policies, derailment of the church from its
known standard practices and others are the impacts of the
compromises on the young people and the church in general.
4. The situation today, Apostle Paul
foresaw when he wrote that men
(young people) exist in the church who
“Having a form of godliness,
but denying the power thereof: from
such turn away” (2Tim. 3:15).
5. This presentation, therefore, intends to call on all
who are involved in AYM investiture to shun all
manner of comprises and embrace the high standards
of the ethical principles of AYM investiture. As not
upholding or compromising them will mar the
investing officer’s and/or investee’s certification for
the kingdom.
6. DEFINITION OF TERMS
Certifying -To “officially
recognize as possessing
certain qualifications or
meeting certain standards.”
7. Kingdom- Refers to the reward every
true Christian is expecting at the
return of Jesus.
8. Ethics- “Moral principles that govern a
person’s behavior or the conduction of
an activity.”
“it consists of the standard of behavior our
society accepts.”
“Being ethical is doing what the law
requires.”
9. Investiture It is the “Formal Ceremony of conferring
the authority and symbol of high office.” It is also
referred to as “an open acknowledgement and
certification of excellence” for the Adventist Youth
Ministry. It is a ceremony performed to acknowledge
the satisfactory completion of a class requirement
and the beginning of a higher class requirement or a
call to a higher leadership responsibility.
11. “Law imposes a punishment or penalty
for defaulters of the provision of the
law, while ethics does not impose any
penalty or punishment for its breach as
they are just religious, social and moral
beliefs and guiding principles”
12. “Law requires enforcement through
regulatory bodies and enforcement
agencies, while ethics does not require
any enforcement through enforcement
agencies.”
13. “Law is objective and assertive, while ethics is
flexible and subjective.”
14. “Law is the set of rules and regulations
which direct and govern the behavior of
individuals in the society, ethnics on the
other hand is the moral principles which
control the behavior of individuals in the
society.”
16. 1. Investiture should cause the young person to take
up new responsibility that enables him or her
influence others positively
2. Investiture in the Adventist Youth Ministry
should make one a responsible citizen of his or her
country and member of the church that train others
to become strong workforce for Jesus.
17. 3. Investiture should not be influenced by
compassion, favour or sympathy.
4. Every activity in the class must have been
satisfactorily covered and an appreciable level of
knowledge gained by the investee.
5. Every investee must be presented for public
screening during the investiture ceremony. The
investing officer determines the extent of the
screening.
18. 6. Anyone invested in a class must have
qualified to lead others to be objectively invested
in the same class.
7. Leaders are expected to rigorously train the
young people for investiture.
19. 8. Investiture is conducted by the
conference/mission youth director
or his designee.
.
20. It is observed that some have compromised
these ethics of AYM investiture. This has
affected the performance of AYM and its
programmes. Standards have been
relegated to the background. Mediocrity
has replaced excellence.
21. THE PROBLEM: The ethics do not take
anyone to Heaven.
1.It does not matter.
2.The desire to be good to everybody at all cost
3.Help me, I help you
4.Not in the ten commandments[Ex. 20: 1-17]
5.Ignorance
6.Pride
7.Favoritism
8.Bottom power
9.Ethnic/sectional inclination
22. 11. He or she knows it already
12. Systemic problem
13. Disobedience
23. The Big Questions
As an AYM investing officer/AYM investee, how
have you been faithful with the application of AYM
ethics of investiture?
NOTE: The standards, obligations, the good things
you do through faith in Christ to be certified, to
qualify, for heaven, includes the ethics of AYM
investiture
24. Put in another way:
AYM ethics of investiture are included in
the standards, obligations, good things you
have to do through faith in Christ Jesus to
be certified for heaven- God’s eternal
Kingdom.
25. Ethics of Investiture Impacts Certification for the Kingdom
Obedience is key in the Christian’s believe in
Christ [Gen. 3; 1Sam. 15: 22- 23; 2Kings 5: 10-14].
The Christian’s obedience is not just limited to God.
It includes obedience to fellow man, traditional
governmental and religious institutions. The
christian’s obedience to ethical standards the church
or society accepts is obedience Christ Himself.
26. Covenant/ Agreement/pledge : Every AYM investing
officer or investee has covenanted/agreed/pledged to
the ethics of AYM investiture. Any not keeping to these
ethics sins against God Himself.
Though not limited to them, character traits such as
faithfulness, sincerity, trustworthiness, honesty,
integrity, humility and dependability are employed not
just in dealings with God. They are also very vital
when dealing with humans, organizations, groups and
other structures, such as AYM.
28. Every true Christian and believer in Christ
is, among other things, to practice, promote
and preserve whatever encourages growth,
unity, discipline, and orderliness, in the
body of Christ and in the general public.
29. CONCLUSION
The kingdom of God is real. Those who are being
certified for it are those who have through faith in
Christ lived every aspect of their lives rightly,
Including upholding the AYM ethics of investiture,
with God and fellow Humans and groups/
organizations, like the CHURCH - AYM, AWM,
AMO.
30. APPEAL
In the cause of my putting this lecture together, I
discovered that those who are appointed to
lead/coordinate/guide/organize the young people
should possess following qualities:
