UNCOMPROMISING CHRISTIAN IN A CORRUPT SOCIETY: Gen.6:11-13; Ps.14:1-4. The world in which we live in is corrupt and dirty, almost all the segments of society are corrupt. Even some good things like school system, marriage, dressing, music, religion, business, etc the sinners have corrupted everything. And things are going to get better but it will get worse according the scripture. 2Timothy.3:13-14. But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse; deceiving and being deceived. But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of knowing of whom thou hast learned them. So as children of God we can make a difference by taking an uncompromising stand for the truth and righteousness. Like Enoch, Noah, Daniel and his friends, Joseph, Josiah, Deborah, Ruth, Isaiah, etc stood for the truth and righteousness and the Lord stood with them. We today can stand for the truth no matter how corrupt the society may be. EXHORTATION TO STAND UNCOMPROMISING IN A CORRUPT SOCIETY: Pro.1:10; Philip.2:14-16; 2Timothy.3:12-14; Exodus.23:2; Pro.14:7; Pro.23:20-21, 23; 2Thess.3:6; 1Timothy.6:3-5; 2Cor.6:14-18. The Lord is calling and encouraging every true child of God to an uncompromising life. Temptation will come to you to compromise but you learn how to say no and keep on saying no to evil. Joseph said no to sin and compromise and he kept on saying no and the Lord was with him. Daniel and his friend said no to compromise and they kept on saying no that is why they overcame. If we are going to overcome and retain the presence of the Lord with us we must learn how to say no to evil and keep on saying no to evil and the Lord will be with us. The problem today with many “children of God” is that they want to please the world and therefore they follow the multitudes in their evil. EXAMPLES OF UNCOMPROMISING CHRISTIANS IN A CORRUPT SOCIETY: Gen.5:22-24. Gen.7:1; Gen.39:7-12; Daniel.1:8; Daniel.3:13-18; Daniel.6:1-10; Jer.35:5-6; 2Chro.34:1-3. These and many other children of God in the bible were examples unto us as they were uncompromising in their day despite opposition and persecutions. They stood for the Lord and for the truth and the Lord stood with them. When we stand for God uncompromisingly in a corrupt society He too will stand for us. My prayer is that the Lord will give you and me the grace and the strength to stand for Him, you will stand. EXCEPTIONAL POWER FOR THE UNCOMPROMISING CHRISTIAN IN A CORRUPT SOCIETY: Daniel.11:32; Luke.10:19; Isaiah.40:28-31; Eph.3:20-21. The Lord gives exceptional power to the Christian who stands uncompromisingly for Him. He gives them (1) power for progress. (2) The power for prominence. (3) The power in prayer. (4) The power of His presence. (5) The power of preservation. (6) The power of promotion. (7) The power His partnership. (8) The power of His provision. (9) The power over the devils. (10) The power for success. Ps.91:14-16. DARE TO STAND LIKE DANIEL AND HIS FRIENDS IN BABYLON AND LIKE JOSEPH IN EGYPT
