Learn to say NO
Hello friends in the house. How are you today? I say happy new year to some of us because we have not interacted this year. I pray that by God's Grace, we shall also see the end of this year in health and wealth if Christ tarries in Jesus name Happy New Year once again.💝
Someone was sharing something important with me yesterday about 'saying No'. He told me the story of a lady who got admission into campus undefiled but by the time she would get to final year, she was defiled. When her friends and fellowship members got to know, they asked for what the man used to entice her. She said the man did not use money, he didn't use phone neither did he use clothing. He merely used proposal. People were amazed that she lost her dignity just because she could not say no to a proposal coming from a man who was still feeding under his own parents. It was obvious that the man wasn't ready for marriage but just because she couldn't say no, she lost a precious thing. I pray that will not be your portion🙏.
She later explained that she was spiritually sick at that time and that was the reason why she lost the strength and grace to say ' no'. I pray God will give you the Grace to say ' NO ' to sinful pleasures and desires.
