More Ways To Handle Pressures Easily

More Ways To Handle Pressures Easily

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Yesterday, we considered a few things to note about pressures.

We discussed that;

1. Pressures come to everybody
2. Nobody can put pressures on you unless you allow that person.

Let’s conclude this morning.

3. You can stop the pressures when you want to
When you really want to stop the pressures, you simply stop seeing the person in question. You press the ‘disconnect’ button. You stop picking his or her call. You see, the moment communication lines are kept open; the pressures would keep coming! You say somebody is putting pressure on you and yet you are ‘flashing’ the person with your phone? Who is really putting the pressures?

4. Be sincere with yourself.
Do you really want to stop the pressures or are you enjoying it? If you want to stop it, you won’t be like Samson, rather you will follow the example of Joseph.

What was the difference?

Joseph ran away at the face of sexual pressures. Samson thought he could handle the pressures, but he lost his life eventually. Look at what Delilah did to Samson:

And it came to pass, when she pressed him daily with her words, and urged him, so that his soul was vexed unto death; (Judges 16:16 KJV)

That is what I call pressure! But he didn’t run away. He thought he could handle it. He was wrong.

Joseph was pressured too! Look at the scriptures:

She pestered him day after day after day, but he stood his ground. He refused to go to bed with her. (Genesis 39:10 Message)

He stood his ground, and eventually ran away! That is what you do at the face of pressures. Run! Don’t bother to speak in tongues or spiritualize it, just run away!

Are there people around you that you need to run away from? Are there some Delilahs, some Amnons and some Mrs Potiphars? Wicked men? Evil men? Strange women? Liars? Impostors? Deceivers? Manipulators? Think about it! You have a responsibility to protect your life and destiny by the decisions you make and the people you give access to! Selah!

CONFESSION FOR THE DAY
I am not under undue pressures. I have liberty in God.

PRAYER FOR THE DAY
Ask God to give you strength to handle pressures.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
And she caught him by his garment, saying, Lie with me:and he left his garment in her hand, and fled, and got him out.(Genesis 39:12 KJV)

ACTION PLAN FOR THE DAY
Disconnect from people putting pressures on you
