Refuse To Bow To Pressure - Pastor Ekpenyong

Hebrews 12:3TPT

“So consider carefully how Jesus faced such intense opposition from sinners who opposed their own souls, so that you won’t become worn down and cave in under life’s pressures.”

The beautiful thing about our walk of faith is that you are never alone in your quest no matter how long you’ve been there.

You must understand that you will be misunderstood and ridiculed when you choose to live by faith because the world is sense-ruled and hence considers your acts of faith insane.

For example how do you think those in Abraham and Sarah’s day reacted to them when they changed their names in response to the promise that they will have children as numerous as the sand on the seashore?

Jesus patiently endured and according to the Greek rendering of that word, it means to stay under.

He persevered under the intense pressure of ridicule and shame and was neither discouraged nor did He ever quit. Halleluyah!

It is therefore nothing new to be ridiculed because you believe and are acting on what God said to you that doesn’t make sense to anybody else.

Don’t get discouraged nor quit.

Glory!
