One of the marks of wisdom in a believer’s life is ability to make right decisions. Wisdom is eighty percent decision and twenty percent timing. You cannot afford to make decisions of life without the involvement of the Holy Spirit. Everything of God has a flow to it. If it does not flow, DON’T force it even when pressure is mounting on you, resist the temptation. This was the mistake of Saul the first king of Israel. Never find yourself in that position. That decision of Saul cost him his throne.
There are three situations, personalities and issues that MUST never force you to act or move; 1. The people. 2. The enemy. 3. The failure or the weakness of a leader. In one of my teachings I taught about four critical moves on the earth; namely THE MOVE MAN, THE MOVE OF HELL, THE MOVE OF GOD, AND YOUR OWN MOVE. The most critical of these moves is YOUR MOVE. Your move can directly and indirectly affect the other three moves.
Don’t allow men to force you to move against divine instruction. Once God has spoken, the opinion of men is no longer relevant. No matter the pressure, learn to always wait for God. God is never late! Never allow the enemy to force you to act or move. The devil is a master at that. He wants to move you against God so that God can turn away from you and you now become vulnerable to him. He always separates before he destroys.
The failure or the weakness of a leader should not make you to force yourself to do anything for God. Once you are not assigned, don’t get involved. Make sure your move at all times is in consonance and alignment with the move of God.
PRAYER: Lord, receive grace and strength to align my move with that of God always. Amen!
