COMPROMISE COMPLICATES

FAITH CAPSULE: One compromising the word of God shall complicate the calling of God.

1 Samuel 2:22-36, 1 Samuel 3:1-13

Compromising the word of God is evidence of a lack of fear of God and a lack of understanding among believers and unbelievers.
Are you compromising the word of God by choosing against how He wants all to live life?
Compromise exists in the church and outside of the church. 
Any believer that serves God as such pleases is against the word of God. 
Compromising the word of God is a lack of faith. Without faith, God is not pleased. (Hebrews 11:6) 
Compromise is not of God. 
Compromising the word of God is the root of confusion to complicate the life journey before God. 
Compromise can be a conscious or unconscious way of engaging evil, not living life to fear God. 
A believing believer that does not restrain wrongdoing is taking to a position of compromise, not to do right.
James 4:17 buttresses, “Therefore, to him who knows to do good and does not do it, to him it is sin.”
Are you compromising the word of God to impress your world?
Are you compromising the word of God?
Compromising the word of God in all areas of life is bound to complicate the calling of God.

The compromise of the sons of Eli complicated his life of journey.?
The Bible records the corruption of the sons of Eli in 1 Samuel 2:12-15, “Now the sons of Eli were corrupt; they did not know the Lord. And the priests’ custom with the people was that when any man offered a sacrifice, the priest’s servant would come with a three-pronged fleshhook in his hand while the meat was boiling. Then he would thrust it into the pan, or kettle, or caldron, or pot; and the priest would take for himself all that the fleshhook brought up. So they did in Shiloh to all the Israelites who came there. Also, before they burned the fat, the priest’s servant would come and say to the man who sacrificed, “Give meat for roasting to the priest, for he will not take boiled meat from you, but raw.”
Compromising the word of God by the sons of Eli was recorded as a great sin before God because Eli did not restrain his children. (1 Samuel 3:13) God called on Samuel to identify and point out His judgment of Eli, “In that day I will perform against Eli all that I have spoken concerning his house, from beginning to end. For I have told him that I will judge his house forever for the iniquity which he knows, because his sons made themselves vile, and he did not restrain them.” (1 Samuel 3:12-13) 
Eli compromised before God, and it counted as his sin before God. 
The compromise of Eli was his corruption before God, and his sons experienced the consequence of their sin.

Prayer for today: Ask to be delivered from every ground of compromising His word.
