Word for the day "Do you feel the Pressure"

I Samuel 13:13 (NIV) “You have done a foolish thing,” Samuel said. “You have not kept the command the LORD your God gave you; if you had, he would have established your kingdom over Israel for all time. 14 But now your kingdom will not endure; the LORD has sought out a man after his own heart and appointed him ruler of his people, because you have not kept the LORD’s command.”If at times in your life it may seem as if everyone wants something from you; or expects you to do something? Pressure has become a regular part of our lives today. And these will be times when you're forced to choose between surrendering to the pressure of others and doing the will of God. Are you experiencing pressure in your life?The Bible shares of man named Saul as a man who didn't choose well. Israel was at war. In the midst of battle it was customary to have a priest offer sacrifices. Samuel had promised Saul that he would come at an appointed time to do this.However, Saul waited for a while but began to feel pressured because his troops were leaving him. He knew that it was against God's law for him to offer the sacrifices because he was not a priest. But Saul decided he couldn't take the pressure any longer. And Saul made wrong decision under pressure and He offered the sacrifices himself.Just as he finished offering the sacrifices read again today’s scripture family.If Saul had waited just one more hour, he would have kept his kingdom. Surrendering to God means that you resist surrendering to those who pressure you to disobey the Lord’s commands. How are you doing in making decisions while under pressure?Point to ponder- When you surrender to ungodly pressure, you pay the consequences. When you surrender to God, you benefit, and your family benefits for generations to come.Follow me on Twitter @Elder James Baker, as I endeavor to encourage and empower leaders of today and tomorrow!October is Ministry appreciation Month, Our Leadership team is especially thankful for those of you who provided financial donations and support thus far in the month of October by partnering with us in efforts to advance the kingdom of God in this 21st century season.
