CORRUPTION IS DESTRUCTION
Genesis 6
Another name for corruption is dissolution or immorality. Corruption is also a perversion of integrity. Dishonesty and all kinds of wrongdoing are the relatives of corruption. Any believer that claims to Know God and is constantly caught up with any act of corruption is an evidence of not knowing God. It is written and confirmed in the scripture that corruption is an evidence of not knowing God. Corruption is also wickedness and God is a God that does not overlook wickedness. Eli sons were referred to in 1Samuel 2:12, “Now the sons of Eli were corrupt; they did not know the LORD.” Corruption was the sin of Hophni and Phinehas the two sons of Eli. Eli became part of the sin because he lost control of his two sons to corruption. The sin of corruption lead to the generational curse on Eli and it also lead to the death of Eli and his two sons the same day. God is a good God and He will never do wicked except man chose to enter into wickedness and wickedness have its reward. The reward of wickedness is destruction. Can you search and see if there is any identity of corruption in your life? Corruption becomes an eternal terminator when man decides to live a life of corruption. Through the pages of scripture, there is no one testimony that is favorable to corruption. In the Bible days it was not favorable and today it cannot be favorable for corruption because the same God that was is the same God that is. The earlier to step out of corruption and ask God for forgiveness the better it is. The fact that you are still getting away with corruption in your name or in the name of the Lord is not an evidence of escape, success or prosperity. You can believe that judgment will come. In the days of Noah corruption is what brought the whole population down into eternal termination through flood. Genesis 6:11-12 testifies to the effect of corruption, “The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence. 12 So God looked upon the earth, and indeed it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted their way on the earth.” The same God that looked upon the earth then is still looking upon the earth. He will not be longsuffering forever as regard to what His creation are doing that does not glorify His name. It is wise for every man including self claimed believers to have a clear understanding that the work of their hands will not be hidden forever.
Prayer for today: Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me. Let me not give up to any kind of corruption.
