Never Sell Out

While our nation is facing an economic crisis, we can be assured that our hope is remained steadfast by faith through Jesus Christ. We must keep on track in our walk with the Lord and watch when Satan tries to get us to trade in our beliefs, values and Christian principles. I want to encourage you to ‘never sell out’ to the devil. If you sell out, you have no hope for eternity. Esau sold out for a morsel of meat, Samson sold out to Delilah, Ananias and Sapphira sold out for greed, and Demas sold out for this present world. All of these people of the Bible lost out on life because they sold what was valuable to the kingdom. Joseph would not sell out to Potiphar’s wife, Daniel would not sell out defilement and prayer, the Hebrew children refused to sell their loyalty to God, and Peter and John would not compromise and sell their right to preach the Gospel. Satan professes to have the better vineyard, but he lies. If he has better vineyards, then why does he want yours? We need to protect our vineyards, our families, our communities and our church from never selling out for anything. It is not worth it to sell out at any price. The devil will bargain with you, but you must be determined. Stand your ground, be faithful, and don’t let anything hinder your pilgrimage to that heavenly place in glory. Praise God for giving His people all they need to serve Him, and for coming to our rescue to answered prayer. Please continue to ask the Lord to speak into your heart during this season of prayer/fasting at Cornerstone. We are witnessing His presence, power and provision everyday.
Paul says it best in I Corinthians 15:58 “Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.”
