Do not Compromise your faith
Genesis 39:9 There is none greater in this house than I; neither hath he kept back any thing from me but thee, because thou art his wife: how then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?
Our love for God in times of trails or temptation is the product of our faith in Him. God demands for total faithfulness, dependant, and love from us, because He is the source of our loving.
The world we live in sometimes doesn't promise us we will have a good and pleasant life through our journey... Sometimes we are faced with difficulties, heartbreaks, disappointments, failure among others
Sometimes the Lord bring trials before us in other to test our level of faith in Him, while on the other hand the devil inflict our life so as to compromise our faith in God.
Joseph had first experienced love from his father while growing up, but suddenly the love became shattered, he was casted into a dry pit, and latter sold into slavery by his own blood brothers.
His experience should have made him to compromise his faith in God, but he didn't.. He found himself in a better place despite being a slave... Like anyone today without the fear of God will do... He would have accepted the offer to sleep with his master's wife.. But yet, he remembered his covenant with the God unseen... Genesis 39:9 There is none greater in this house than I; neither hath he kept back any thing from me but thee, because thou art his wife: how then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?
His faithfulness led him to the prison... He didn't accused God of not saving him for being faithful, even though he didn't know it's a process of getting to a better a place. He was honoured at the end and found himself in the Palace sitting beside thee King till he died.
Job was a man of faith, his life and family was placed on a bet by God with the devil,... Not as a result of sin, but to proof to the devil there is still a man who doesn't love God because he has all things in abundance...
All his investment crashed in a day, all his children died that same day... What more evil can befall a man than what happened to Job... Above all, he was struked with boils all over his body... If you happened to be Job in this generation, would you not have cursed God to His face?. Yet Job didn't..
He passed the test, and God won the bet... His life was restored and lived happily for the rest of his days. So it will be for anyone that is faithful to the end.
While you exercise faithfulness, there may arose new difficulties, you may experience more hardship, what you are praying for may not be granted even when you are presented with a sinful offer... Don't compromise your faith... It is a process of getting to a grater place.. Just like Joseph.
Whatever you may be going through today, family problems, your marriage may be bleeding, debts, sickness, business not yielding profits, hardship, death, disappointment or heartbreaks, sickness or depression?, don't compromise your faith... Keep your faith alive and trust God for an expected end.
God is with you as He was with Joseph in the prison, the three Hebrews in fire, the Israelite in the wilderness, and Elijah during the famine..
Trust God in all situations, and your life will be a testimony..
God bless you.
