Pleasantries!
Have you been invited or caught in a compromising situation?, as the enemy will surely cause you to fall for one and seek your failure especially when you are on the verge of a certain breakthrough that will spell more of God’s power & love channeled to people around you.
Allow me to present the Word of God that will open up our eyes on how to overcome it when it comes. Such a wonderful scenario passed and conquered by our Lord to accomplished His mission here and brushed aside the invitation of compromise offered in a silver platter by the god of this world…..
It is clearly written and discussed in Matthew 4:8–11.., Again, the devil took Him up on an exceedingly high mountain, and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. And he said to Him, “All these things I will give You if You will fall down and worship me.” Then Jesus said to him, “Away with you, Satan! For it is written, ‘You shall worship the LORD your God, and Him only you shall serve.'” Then the devil left Him, and behold, angels came and ministered to Him.
Come to think about it, the devil offered Jesus exactly what He had come to this
world to obtain. As Jesus came to win the kingdoms of this world to our God. And the devil is saying, “Hey, You can take a shortcut. No one will know anyway, I will give You what You want. Try to bend a little, don’t be such a square! You don’t have to do it God’s way perfectly. You may have to compromise Your integrity a bit, just a bit but think of how quickly You will succeed! You can even avoid the whole sacrifice thing! No harm done! Just a little bend & a bit of compromise. You don’t have to do it God’s way.” And so the devil goes….
Lend me your ears and listen, anytime God has set a goal for you, and you are going to obtain something, the devil will always come and try to get you to compromise and offer you substitutes that could appear to be practical and easier to do. He will tempt you by saying things like, “You can get what you want without living by all those narrow, restrictive rules that God puts on people’s lives. You can be dishonest; you can be unfaithful; you can compromise; and you can still be blessed, and you can still be happy.”
Do not believe the liar for a moment. His way of compromise leads only to ruin! Half truth is a whole lie! Many grand promises were hindered due to compromise. Some became limited because of compromise. Don’t settle for less! Don’t adjust to conflict! Don’t go for the opposing claims even if it seems easier. Don’t accept reciprocal modifications from him! Never received devil’s invitation! Follow God’s Word without compromise and blessings will rain without compromise as well.
Let His will be done!…….. without compromise!
Shalom everyone!
