Timeless Truth
With Pastor Tope Oyeneye
Don't Force Yourself
Scripture.
1 Samuel 13:11-12 KJV
"And Samuel said, What hast thou done? And Saul said, Because I saw that the people were scattered from me, and that thou camest not within the days appointed, and that the Philistines gathered themselves together at Michmash; therefore said I, The Philistines will come down now upon me to Gilgal, and I have not made supplication unto the LORD: I forced myself therefore, and offered a burnt offering".
Message:
As a child of God, it is important to take note of the fact that whenever you force yourself to do anything, most times, it boomerangs as a wrong step later. God lives and dwells within us through the Holy Spirit, you must consult and check your spirit before you do things. The inner witness is there to help us make decisions but not under pressure. You may not pick the right signals when you are under pressure.
Never take any major step when you are emotionally unstable. When your emotions are high or low and you take steps, it will 99% of the time be a wrong move or step. Stay back from making major decisions during emotional turmoil, take your time and make sure you become stable emotionally before you make decisions. Learn to keep quiet when you are under pressure.
Saul saw the people scattering and made an emotional decision that made him to transgress. His emotions made him forget the instruction of his God given prophet and spiritual covering. He took a step that destroyed His God given place. He forced himself to make a decision that is contrary to the laid down instruction of God and missed it.
When you force yourself to do anything, it always leads to transgression. Transgression in my language means, "ikoja aye". Transgression makes people to miss their place in God. It is not just about man, but always against God. Many times, it is due to low self esteem. This deficiency pushes people into things that can set them backward for years even after God forgives them. You will not take the wrong steps in Jesus name.
