Be EMBOLDENED To Say NAY – NO – When It Matters: There’s Enabling GRACE For It!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We live in a time wherein most people have\nindebted themselves or found themselves at crossroads because they wants to DO\nGod, please planet earth, and make everyone happy at their inadequacies and to\nsave face from offending and to ensure their pride in pain. Enough of that\ncowardice ACT of life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

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<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

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

May I enjoin you to know that the Scriptures\nindicates that the justified in Christ Jesus shall live by their own FAITH in\nGod through Him. So let nobody makes you through pressure to be their ANSWER\nand especially to their so called DESTINY HELPER, to their PRAYERS when you are\nnot God, knowing you are unable to fit into that shoe as been pressured.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don’t DO God or be a godfather or answer in\nDEBT. Endeavour to say NO without feeling guilty or ashamed in meeting someone\ndear needs. Live by your FAITH as led by the Holy Spirit through God’s WORD in\nall capacity of life matters. Live and help within your FAITH and not in any\npressure to do anything and become incapacitated for others good. That’s\nunscriptural.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saying NO should not be embarrassing at all\njust as saying YES should not be either. Don’t take a PARACETAMOL for someone\nelse ACHES otherwise you may start aching for your inadequacy and not been\nemboldened to have say NAY – NO when you should have. Help where you could. Fit\nin where you could. Much more, LIVE AND DO LIFE BY YOUR FAITH!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don’t REACT to pressure in anyway by any\nmeans; always RESPOND by the WORD in the Holy Spirit that’s GIVEN to you to do\nLIFE in GRACE. You are RESPONSIBLE and ACCOUNTABLE on your life decisions. Make\ngoodly choices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I pray God gives you wisdom in this regards\nbefore you found yourself at life crossroads and in guilt not knowing to say NO\njust as to say YES.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
