Compromise

compromise:
a settlement of differences by mutual concessions; an agreement reached by adjustment of conflicting or opposing claims, principles, etc., by reciprocal modification of demands.

Ok! So as you can see, today will be on compromise.
My question to you is, "Do you compromise God for worldly things?"

What i am trying to point out is, in life, especially in Singapore where it is very rushing, we always compromise our spiritual values,our relationship with others and sometimes God. THIS IS REALLY DISGUSTING! Let me give you an example. Let us use john as an example.

John reached home from school and started playing computer games instead of his homework. When his mother asked him what he was doing, john said project work (lying). When his mother went to switch off the computer, john scolded and used vulgarities at his mother (did not obey his mother, sinful words and action, sin against God). He did not apologise and went to sleep. Next day in school, he forgot to do his homework, so he said he left it at home (lying to escape punishment). That afternoon, john forgot to bring his pocket money to school. Feeling hungry, john felt frustrated. When his friends came to joke with him, he yelled at them (un-godly actions). He acted in an un-godly manner because he was hungry.

Looking at this example, we compromise many things in just 1-2 days, that includes me. We compromise because we do not want to get scolded, we are feeling frustrated, we want to gain something, our pride and much more... But is it worth it? I tell you, 100% NO!
Matthew 6:19-22
v19 "Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal.
v20 But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal.
v21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.


We should NOT compromise God for anything. When we say we give our ALL to God, it means all situation, all problems and all consequences. YES! You may get scolded by teacher, you may be humiliated by people and you may be looked down. However, each time you DO NOT compromise God, God is smiling at you! So store up heavenly things where it last forever! God deserves our ALL! We should NOT compromise anything for Him!

Then you say, "I cannot do it! I will definitely compromise something! I do not deserve God's love!" WRONG! i repeat WRONG! It is because we man keep sinning and keep compromising God because of our sinful nature, and we even do it unknowingly, it shows how much we need God! Only God can prevent you from compromising. Nothing is impossible with God! When you have sinned, repent and ask for forgiveness, and it will be given to you. It is because GOD LOVES YOU! Amen! Praise God!
