WHEN GOD IS PLEASED

May 23, 2016 · Lanre Oyeleke · 2 views

1Pet2: 19 For God is pleased with you when you do what you know is right and patiently endure unfair treatment. NLT

Recently, I delivered a seminar on effect of examination malpractice in a parent teacher's association meeting of a Christian school. A parent asked if the school doesn't aid malpractice like some schools do. I told her that the school operates on bible principles and as such, they don't involve in such dirty deals. She asked that question because that is what most schools do to earn more and to attract examination candidates.

In this present age, one reason why many believers compromise is because they don't want to be treated unfairly. There are institutions where if you don't follow the trend of corruption and dishonesty, you may be hated and disregarded. Unrighteousness has become the protocol almost everywhere.

No matter how hard it may be to be a Christian at work or at home, with God's grace, God is expecting you to stand for righteousness and do what is right. There is a reward in heaven awaiting those that live a life pleasing unto God without compromise. You cannot afford to miss heaven because of a little compromise.

Action point

Father, I receive grace to do what is right In Jesus name. Amen
