FAITH CAPSULE: is to make a dishonorable or shameful concession.

1 Samuel 2:12-36

Compromise will corrupt man’s journey in life because it violate man before God. It is demonstration of lack fear of God for man to embrace evil. As an acclaimed believer, do you not know that, “The fear of the Lord is to hate evil; Pride and arrogance and the evil way and the perverse mouth I hate.” (Proverbs 8:13) To embrace evil is a self-disengagement from God. If a man will consciously and consistently despise evil and not admire what is evil based.
Are you one that settles for what is not acceptable before God? When you are carried along where you suppose to refuse or disagree against act of ungodliness you positioned yourself to become corrupted.
The bible recorded about 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.” They did not know God but they actively engaged themselves in the sacrifices which they should not be part of. Eli knew about their evil acts but did not restrain them. Refrain from evil acts by refusing to embrace it. 1 Samuel 2:17 recorded that their sin (sons of Eli) was great before the Lord. There was no one to stop the evil acts of the sons of Eli.
When God called on Samuel, at a young age, God identified to Samuel the sin and judgment of Eli stating, “In that day I will perform against Eli all that I have spoken concerning his house, from beginning to end. ¹³ 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) When man is position to act against evil and failed to act, the failure not to act will count against man and corrupt man’s destiny. Come out of all the evil which you know about; refrain from being carried along if you cannot correct it. Eli compromised and his destiny was corrupted.

Prayer for today: Ask for the grace not to be a victim of the spirit that causes man to compromise with any form of evil.
