These two people will never win no matter
the diligence, effort, energy, financial backing, sponsorship, sacrifice or
prayer missile exercise. For these people; the Fearful and the Compromiser -
there is no spiritual immunity against loses!
The fearful:
The fearful are
losers. The fearful will always, and definitely lose whatever they have. Whatever you fear to lose you may
eventually lose. Whatever you love, respect,
idolize and express fear so much about, you may
eventually lose! Job
asserts, ‘For the thing which I
greatly feared is come upon me, and that which I was afraid of is come unto me’. Hmm mm. Nobody knew as Godly, upright, perfect and religious as Job was, he was still
living, wining and dinning in fear (Job 1:
1-3; 3:25).
He feared God yet
lived in fear.
He feared God but no
peace, or rest of mind.
He feared God but
mentally, emotionally and
psychologically troubled.
He had God. He had
virtually everything but was afraid of losing them.
You cannot bribe God
against losses with your religious activities. Job 1:5.
Losing or winning is a
state of mind. Prov. 4:23.
The Compromiser
Ponder on this axiom, 'when you compromise
you lose. When you seem to have compromised, you have taken a step toward
winning'. Here is Saul’s scenario; …but Samuel had
not yet come to Gilgal, and the soldiers began to leave Saul...’’ I saw the
soldiers leaving me. So I forced myself to offer the burnt offering. I Sam.
13:8-15. (ERV). King Saul lost
himself and his kingdom simply because he was afraid people were leaving him.
He traded the will of God for the attention and presence of men. He wanted the
ovation of men. He did not want to lose his people, congregation, audience or
church members so he compromised standard; went as far as disobeying God to win the attention of
men. The COMPROMISERS are losers and they are bound to fail. They are men
pleasers and eye-service minded individuals. Eph.6:5-7; Col. 3:22-24.
They dance to the tune of the people to
secure them. They want to say, teach, preach and do what the people want. Many men of God fall into these category. Are you?
Fear and Compromise
will make you lose, eliminate and delete them in your life. Be fortified with sound,
sanitized, sanctified and certified mind in Jesus name!
