proverbs 14:12
There is a way that appears to be right, but in the end it leads to death.
compromise literally means coming to agreement withsome one for a peaceful settlement. however in relation to sin and destruction,compromise may mean willingly conforming to falsehood or satan's way with knowledge that it is wrong.
compromise has affected us as a church and this has limited us to reaching and exploring God's potential in us. we have bible characteristics of men of God who compromised and ended up in sin. one of the greatest example was David when he commited adulery with Bethsheba Uriah's wife during battle Time. he chose to saccumb to the teamptation and he ended up in sin. however Joseph did not compromise with Portiphar's wife even when she continued to lure him into sin.
how do we overcome compromise.
1. know who and whose you are
the Bible says in John 1:12 the Bible says that to them that believed Him(Jesus), He gave them a right to become children of God. when you know you are a child of God, you will stop to compromise because God has called you to Good works in Christ Jesus.
2 . renew your mind. the Bible says in Romans 12:2 that
Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will. when you renew your mind( make new your mind) according to the word of God, you will know what He wants, You will know what he hates, and you will know what he loves. when you do what He loves you will be blessed if you do them( John 13:17). and it is God's will that we should'nt compromise.
3. say no to sin!!!
we are created in the image of God according to Genesis 1:26. we know what is wrong from what is right. therefore doing what is good is a choice. sinning is also in our choice that is why God is Just to punish us for our sins But thanks to Jesus who paid for our eternal consquences. the Bible teaches in Romans 12:9 that we should love what is good and hate what is evil. Titus 2:11 teaches that the Grace of God has appeared to all men in these times teaching us to say NO!! to ungodliness and sin
4. pray!!!
the Bible teaches in matthew 26:41 that we should watch and pray so that we do not fall into tempatation. james 4:6 says that submit your self to God, Resist the Devil and He will flee from you. we can resist sin In jesus Name
5. repent, renounce and turn away from sin
there is nothing you have done that would make God Love you more, and there is nothing you have done that would Make Him close the door......come to Jesus
if you would love to give your life to Jesus, say the prayer on the top right hand of your screen.
