As a determined Christian, there are things God wants you to resist, refuse, and stand against in all aspects of your life despite their pressures on you. While God wants you to do many things, there are things you should personally in all of your thoughts and imaginations not desire and should be resisted and refused based on conviction from the Holy Scripture, yet there are things desiring that you bow to them and people urging you to bow to them, bow to their ideas, and bow to their imaginations. Through the scriptures, not through dreams, or imaginations, or needs, you have seen the conviction that these things they are pressurizing you to do are wrong and should not be desired, yet people are pressing on you and are desiring you to accept and do them, but God in His love and power says resist, refuse and not accept the pressure.

Despite the fact that people know you as a believer and follower of Christ Jesus, they are pushing and demanding you to bow to their powers, bow to their ways, bow to their thoughts, and bow to all of their words and imaginations before rendering help to you, but by God’s grace and power over your life, they will fail, their imaginations will fail, their desires will fail and God will lift you up and sustain you. They want you to bow out from believing, trusting, and following God and all His words, they want you to follow their imaginations and desires which are contrary to the faith you have in Christ Jesus. They have created circumstances to compel you to bow; they have all kinds of roadblocks to hinder you and resist your resistance; they have brought up various kinds of troubles to force to bow; they have brought all kinds of fears to make you bow, but in all of these things, God will keep you and He will help you.

The reason for all of Job’s troubles was for him to curse God, for him to depart from faithfulness, to depart from godliness, and abandon the fear of God. You are aware that Satan desired was for Job to curse God and He wanted to force Job to bow to him, follow him by cursing God because of the loss of everything and everyone he had. Satan discussion, “Does Job fear God for nothing? Satan replied. Have you not put a hedge around him and his household and everything he has? You have blessed the work of his hands so that his flocks and herds are spread throughout the land. But now stretch out your hand and strike everything he has, and he will surely curse you to your face. The Lord said to Satan, very well, then, everything he has is in your power, but on the man himself do not lay a finger. Then Satan went out from the presence of the Lord.” Job 1:9-12

Because of delay in conception and in having the promised child, Sarah asked Abraham to sleep with her maid Hagar, and Abraham bow to that suggestion and brought trouble to his family and to all humanity today. “Now Sarai, Abram’s wife, had borne him no children. But she had an Egyptian slave named Hagar, so she said to Abram, the Lord has kept me from having children. Go, sleep with my slave, perhaps I can build a family through her. Abram agreed to what Sarai said. So after Abram had been living in Canaan ten years, Sarai his wife took her Egyptian slave Hagar and gave her to her husband to be his wife. He slept with Hagar, and she conceived. When she knew she was pregnant, she began to despise her mistress. Then Sarai said to Abram, you are responsible for the wrong I am suffering. I put my slave in your arms, and now that she knows she is pregnant, she despises me. May the Lord judge between you and me.” Genesis 16:1-5

Abraham believed and trusted God for the promises but the delay was taking its toll in the heart and mind of Sarah and when she could no longer bear the thoughts, Sarah brought a suggestion to Abraham and turns around to blame Abraham for accepting the offer. Satan is doing all he could for you to bow, he is doing all to make up give up the trust and dependence on God, he is doing all for you to doubt your faith and your trust in God, and He is waiting to blame you when you follow his suggestions and thoughts. God wants you to resist evil, refuse evil and stand against whatever is contrary to His promises to you. For Prayers Click here
