“Dead flies cause the ointment of the apothecary to send forth a stinking savour: so doth a little folly him that is in reputation for wisdom and honour.” Ecclesiastes 10:1 (KJV)
It is a good thing to accept the Lord Jesus as the Lord and personal Savior of your life. He imputes His righteousness to you, and you become a sweet savor unto the LORD. As a sweet savor, you must keep exhibiting your good virtues to draw people to Christ. Allowing a little leaven or compromise can destroy your hard-earned reputation (1 Corinthians 5:6). When King David compromised his position and committed adultery with Bathsheba, he lost his reputation and came close to losing his throne to his own son, Absalom.
Dear beloved, avoid any compromise no matter how small it may seem. It could damage your image as a child of God and turn away people from the Lord. Let your good deeds bring glory to the Lord, and you will never lose your reward and position in Him. Hallelujah! Be an overcomer!
Prayer Point: Dear Lord, please keep me away from all compromises, amen!
Amen
