KNOW WHEN TO SAY NO!

Hebrews 11:24-27

    “By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter;

Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season; Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt: for he had respect unto the recompence of the reward. By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible.”

To live by faith successfully, you must know when to say No! You cannot everything and everybody, therefore you must know when to say No. You must know to refuse things. You must be able to refuse when people want to take up your valuable time set aside for prayer and study of God’s word and do frivolous things.

Acts 6:2-4

“Then the twelve called the multitude of the disciples unto them, and said, It is not reason that we should leave the word of God, and serve tables. Wherefore, brethren, look ye out among you seven men of honest report, full of the Holy Ghost and wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business. But we will give ourselves continually to prayer, and to the ministry of the word.”

Faith refuses to give attention to things that will contaminate it. Faith refuses to dwell in the company of those that will negatively affect it. Learn to say No. It is symbolic of your coming of age in your faith.
