Be EMBOLDENED To Say NAY – NO – When It Matters: There’s Enabling GRACE For It!

We live in a time wherein most people have indebted themselves or found themselves at crossroads because they wants to DO God, please planet earth, and make everyone happy at their inadequacies and to save face from offending and to ensure their pride in pain. Enough of that cowardice ACT of life.

Am here to let you know that it’s a high time to STOP making promises you CAN’T keep so that you can walk with your head up and shoulder high, and in your heels high, in grace and peace of mind. And it’s time to also let you know that it is not a crime or even a sin to say NO to a demand or gesture that wants you to do contrary to your FAITH in God in Christ Jesus stead; and much more to your inability to meet up with the statuesque of others demands and the prevalence in your environment. Don’t be people pleaser, be God’s pleaser towards people in order to save your breath, otherwise when you fault, you are gone.

You don’t have to put yourself in a crossroad to swear or take an oath to prove your point of inability. Be truthful to yourself in God and EMBOLDENED to say NO – NAY to any unwelcome demand, just as you can say YES – YEA, in ALL matters of DOING life also to enhance your today and tomorrow in GODLINESS – 1 Timothy 4:7-8.

Lots of people have ended up in debt in order to – save face, please others for no just cause and to fit into the demands of peers and statuesque of colleagues and friends. Beloved in Christ, we are not in a competitive world with any or yourself to make you belong. You are a child of God and of PURPOSE.

It’s more gracious to follow your God’s given PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT if you must found your true HAPPINESS and MEANINGFUL FULFILLMENT in LIFE and GODLINESS. Ensure that you LIVE and DO LIFE as per by the prompting of the Lord by His Holy Spirit in you, and through the WORD, in order to live free and be happy to help without guilt and shame at any point.

May I enjoin you to know that the Scriptures indicates that the justified in Christ Jesus shall live by their own FAITH in God through Him. So let nobody makes you through pressure to be their ANSWER and especially to their so called DESTINY HELPER, to their PRAYERS when you are not God, knowing you are unable to fit into that shoe as been pressured.

Don’t DO God or be a godfather or answer in DEBT. Endeavour to say NO without feeling guilty or ashamed in meeting someone dear needs. Live by your FAITH as led by the Holy Spirit through God’s WORD in all capacity of life matters. Live and help within your FAITH and not in any pressure to do anything and become incapacitated for others good. That’s unscriptural.

Saying NO should not be embarrassing at all just as saying YES should not be either. Don’t take a PARACETAMOL for someone else ACHES otherwise you may start aching for your inadequacy and not been emboldened to have say NAY – NO when you should have. Help where you could. Fit in where you could. Much more, LIVE AND DO LIFE BY YOUR FAITH!

Don’t REACT to pressure in anyway by any means; always RESPOND by the WORD in the Holy Spirit that’s GIVEN to you to do LIFE in GRACE. You are RESPONSIBLE and ACCOUNTABLE on your life decisions. Make goodly choices.

I pray God gives you wisdom in this regards before you found yourself at life crossroads and in guilt not knowing to say NO just as to say YES.

SELAH – PAUSE and THINK!

What Are You Saying?!

By Leave a Comment

Speak the right kind of words at home. Speak well. It’s not what you say at Church on Sunday, at Bible Studies, to your Christian friends – but what you say on a day to day basis, at home, while out shopping etc.

Your home atmosphere is the product of words. The tongue of the wise is health. Proverbs 12:18. Don’t talk sickness. talk health. If you don’t want it, don’t talk it. Your life follows your words.

You are not what you say you are but what you say, is what you are. You could say till you’re blue in the face – depending on your complexion in the first place I suppose – how God is your provider and you’ll never lack for anything but if after that you tell your friends how tough things are and how the bills are piling up and that you don’t know what’ll become of you – then you might as well forget it. You have just nullified your statement about God being your provider. You obviously don’t really believe that He is.

Mark 11: 23 “Truly I tell you, whoever says to this mountain, Be lifted up and thrown into the sea! and does not doubt at all in his heart but believes that what he says will take place, it will be done for him”.

Do not talk failure. Nor sickness. Nor defeat. For crying out loud – don’t talk about what the devil has done. Who cares. He’s a beaten foe, a lost cause. Talk God who is greater. Amen.

Saying The WORD . . . is . . . Sowing The WORD

Proverbs 6:2 “Thou art snared with the words of thy mouth, thou art taken with the words of thy mouth.”

Mark 11:23 “For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.”

Mark4:14, 20 “The sower soweth the word. . . . And these are they which are sown on good ground; such as hear the word, and receive it, and bring forth fruit, some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some an hundred.”

2 Corinthians 9:10 “Now he that ministereth seed to the sower both minister bread for your food, and multiply your seed sown, and increase the fruits of your righteousness;)“

Your destiny is being fashion daily by the daily acts of what you Say.  By SAYING the Word of God which I called Word of Faith and Life, you are taking an act of SOWING the Word that creates and shapens the atmosphere you want to enjoy.

Mark 4:14-20 concludes the acts of what BECOME of the SOWER who went sowing seed. The seed, which Christ called the Word of God eventually produces diverse folds of results – Thirtyfold, Sixtyfold and Hundredfold. The good seed sown germinated and eventually reproduces after its kind.

Like every good plant seed, same is the Word of God. When sown by the act of Sayings of Faith just as the hearing of Faith, it produces a tree, which then goes to make a forest or woodlands, that is, the gracious atmosphere you want to enjoy.  The reason been that plant seed, same as the Word of God possesses the potential within it to become viable in life. That makes the acts of saying liken to the act of planting and watering to produce eventual results very crucial in our daily life as in Proverbs 18:20-21 and Proverbs 15:23.

Proverbs 18:20-21: “A man’s belly shall be satisfied with the fruit of his mouth; and with the increase of his lips shall he be filled. Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof”.

Proverbs 15:23: “A man hath joy by the answer of his mouth: and a word spoken in due season, how good is it!”.

You become what you are by the abundance of the gracious WORDS of Faith and Life that you daily sow by the acts of your sayings. Therefore, Saying the Word is Sowing the Word and the Word sown will then create and shape the atmosphere and lifestyle which you either hate or enjoy.
