Timeless Truth
With Pastor Tope Oyeneye
Beware Of Pressure
Scripture.
Genesis 26:1-2 KJV
"And there was a famine in the land, beside the first famine that was in the days of Abraham. And Isaac went unto Abimelech king of the Philistines unto Gerar. And the LORD appeared unto him, and said, Go not down into Egypt; dwell in the land which I shall tell thee of:
Message:
I want to encourage us this morning to be careful of making key decisions under pressure. It is not news that people are going through all kinds of pressure in the world presently due to lack of food, good jobs, money and adequate facilities that should be in place. Refuse to make destiny decisions due to the present pressure that you are going through.
Pressure moves people to take decisions that will reduce or remove their lack, suffering or pain. But it is important that you know that it is impossible to make the right decision and choice under pressure. Never make decisions when you are emotionally unstable. This is a timeless principle that has remained relevant forever.
There was famine in the days of Isaac, and he wanted to move to Egypt because of that, but God saw it and in His mercy, Isaac was helped against his emotional decision. The first famine happened in the days of Abraham (Gen. 12v10). God allowed his father Abraham to go to Egypt. When Isaacs son, Jacob was relocating to Egypt (Gen. 46v1-4), God allowed it because it was His will.
That is why you have to be careful, because your twin, best friend, father, son, sibling or neighbour did something and it worked out does not mean that is Gods plan for you. You have the right to do whatever you want to do and go wherever you want to go, but be sure first that it is Gods plan for you. Take your time to make destiny decisions, seek the face of God.
