Avoid the sin of Compromise

Summary

Exodus 32:1-6: Now when the people saw that Moses delayed coming down from the mountain, the people gathered together to Aaron, and said to him, “Come, make us gods that shall go before us; for as for this Moses, the man who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we do not know what has become of him.”And Aaron said to them, “Break off the golden earrings which are in the ears of your wives, your sons, and your daughters, and bring them to me.” So all the people broke off the golden ea...

Episode Description

Exodus 32:1-6: Now when the people saw that Moses delayed coming down from the mountain, the people gathered together to Aaron, and said to him, “Come, make us gods that shall go before us; for as for this Moses, the man who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we do not know what has become of him.”And Aaron said to them, “Break off the golden earrings which are in the ears of your wives, your sons, and your daughters, and bring them to me.”  So all the people broke off the golden earrings which were in their ears, and brought them to Aaron.  And he received the gold from their hand, and he fashioned it with an engraving tool, and made a molded calf.Then they said, “This is your god, O Israel, that brought you out of the land of Egypt!”


I do not cease to wonder how the human mind can change in such a short time. In just 40 days, the people of Israel were done with Moses and His God.  It was not gossip, or hush hush discussion among them. They went straight to Aaron the assistant leader and openly spoke evil of Moses and asked him to make them another god. 

I was so pained to read how low the spoke of Moses the servant of God. Did you read what they said to Aaron (the compromising leader)? They said “for as for this Moses, the man who brought us up out of the land of Egypt we do not know what has become of him”.   Wao! As for this Moses!

Yes they acknowledged that Moses brought them out of the captivity, but they cared less about what had happened to him. They would not even suggest that they should go look for their missing leader if 40 days was a long wait.  At least the sons of the prophets in 2 Kings chapter 2, made some effort to look for Elijah when he was taken away. 

No not the children of Israel, they immediately wanted an alternative plan. They were glad that he was gone and they would not even care about him, his wife, his children or about Joshua that went with him. How wicked and callous!Just imagine how these people treated a man up the mountain to seek God and not a man who went on vacation.  

Same happened to Jesus. Three days away from His disciples, just three days and Peter went back fishing! The rest also went with him! You would have expected them to be praying and interceding or at least mourning! Absolutely not! They were struggling for their daily food! Wao! 

Let’s even leave the people for a while, what of Aaron?  a man who was meant to take the charge when Moses was again? Just a few questions in my mind - How come the people were so convenient to complain about Moses the servant of God? and Aaron would not even raise a standard, he would not speak otherwise, he would not challenge them, the people were comfortable to speak ill of Gods ordained authority and because the aaronic priesthood is so compromising and people pleasing, he had not form of resistance. 

Dear leader, it is a sign of compromise when people can easily walk to you and joyfully without any form of resistance complain about a leader that God has put in place of authority who is faithfully serving and seeking the face of the Lord on behalf of the people.  That people can come to you to speak low and to dishonor someone God has put in place of authority is an indication of a spiritual problem in your life. For them  to then  persuade you to compromise and seek an inferior substitute to the will, purpose and plan of God is an indication of a deep problem of the heart.

This morning lets together examine the 5th sin we must avoid as God leads us to the place He has promised us. The sin of Compromise and People pleasing.
