OBEDIENCE DESPITE PRESSURE
TREASURES OF GRACE (DAILY DEVOTIONAL)
THURSDAY, 30TH MARCH 2017
TOPIC: OBEDIENCE DESPITE PRESSURE
SCRIPTURE: Now if ye be ready that at what time ye hear the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and dulcimer, and all kinds of musick, ye fall down and worship the image which I have made; well: but if ye worship not, ye shall be cast the same hour into the midst of a burning fiery furnace; and who is that God that shall deliver you out of my hands?
Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, answered and said to the king, O Nebuchadnezzar, we are not careful to answer thee in this matter.
If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of thine hand, O king.
But if not, be it known unto thee, O king, that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up - Daniel 3:15-18
MEMORY VERSE: Psalms 3:3
DIGGING DEEP: The hallmark of faithfulness is standing for God despite the fires around, it is standing when others choose to collapse.
I watched a documentary of man in Nothern Nigeria who was attacked by muslim extremists armed with AK-47. They told him to denounce Jesus or else they will kill him, he boldly told them that he can't. They placed the gun into his nostrils and fired several bullets into him. Left in his pool of blood for hours yet the Lord kept him alive.
These is just one out of many that happens regularly all over the world. Today, people want you to buy their ideolology of sin, they try to attack you for saying the truth, and even try to set you up if you are not like them.
From our text we observe that:
1. Anytime an anti-God's order is released, an anti-kingdom music begins to roll so that as people dance to it's rhythm they worship the devil rather than God. Whenever the devil pressure's you, it is to force you to worship him.
2. No pressure is strong enough for those who know their God.
3. Nothing delivers like obedience to God.
4. Obedient people face fire without fears.
Obedient people are rugged in faith, obedience, and passion. No threat is too powerful to stop them from following and obeying God.
Maybe as a judge, you are been threatened to pervert justice, or at your work place you are been pressured to increase budget or overrate a cheque and so on. If you won't bow, you will still rise.
Finally, nothing exonerates like obedience. Obedience pressures heaven to respond to your challenge. Beloved, no matter the pressure do not bow.
I pray for you that any form of pressure threatening you to compromise (be it financial pressure, relationship pressure, opportunity pressure), i decree that they will bow before you in Jesus' name. .
PRAYER: Today, i recieve grace to stand despite the pressures around me in Jesus' name.
QUOTE: To enjoy kingdom pleasure, you must overcome earthly pressure - Dr. Dabbas Joel
DAILY READING: Psalm 42-43 , 2 Kings 17
