Never compromise your faith. Riches are deceiving and temptations will come that do not align with the Word of God therefore we must say, "get behind me satan for it is written" Matthew 16:23 every time. If you are in a friendship that does not enhance your walk, you may need to revisit that friendship. If your employer is asking you to do something that does not go along with your Christian faith, you need to be bold and speak up. Fear not for when we do right, we are to leave the consequences to God. He will make a way out of your dilemma if you do right and trust Him. You are going to have to speak up and tell your employer that you do not want to lose your job but you are unable to do what he is asking you to do because of your faith. I promise you, you will not lose your job and if you did, the Lord would honor your obedience and give you one better. The devil wants you to live in fear, in a shadow of doubt, hypocrisy, phoniness. God desires you to be more like Him, and the enemy lives to destroy you, your faith and your life. When we compromise our faith in any small way, we deceive God and it is a sin. Let me ask you some simple questions? If you are in the presence of gossipers, do you go along or do you leave the room? Do you speak up when someone takes the Lord's name in vain or do you stay quiet for fear of ridicule? Does everyone know you are a Christian person or do you keep your faith quiet? How about profanity in the workplace; do you tell them it is offensive to you? The point is we must be bold for God otherwise we are rejecting the One who came to die for us. Would your friend take a bullet for you? How about that employer you are so willing to please; would they die for you? Be careful of your motives and intentions. Do not let thoughts of riches glaze over your eyes and fog your vision. We must be reminded that true promotion comes from God, it does not come from man. And we should know in our heart that when we work for God and are on God's payroll, He is going to always take care of us. No matter where we work, we are to know we are working for God. And no matter where we are, we are to be representing God for the greatest testimony a Christian could ever give is living a clean life with purpose. So whatever it is you are facing, the Lord has an open door for you to escape through. So always do right and leave the consequences to God.
