GRACE TO SAY "NO" AND 10 MAJOR THINGS TO SAY "NO" TO IN 2018 Part 2

This is the time to say “no” to all the “yesses” that have left life as a battle field and battle-filled for us. Those who made their ways into Promised Land had encounters with the Grace to say “no” and said “no” to all the no-required aspects of their endeavours. Without saying and acting this “no” in these areas, we might continue to labour without favour. We shall open these things one after the other here, please get ready to say “no”.

SIN

As you prepare to pack out of this once new year (now old year) 2017, God care about your fulfillment in life but we must receive grace to say “no” to what God had “noed” since creation. God and sin are completely opposite. Sin is Satan's instrument. Somebody called it, Satan Identity Number. Whatever is it, if we desire a new walk with God in 2018, we must keep ourselves holy and stainless. One of the secrets people don't know about sin is that, it on its own, has deficiency and it causes delay of our appointed times.

Sin is also a distraction from your focus on what God has for you in 2018. When people are immersed in sin, their spiritual sense miscalculates. “Sin brings spiritual miscalculation”, instead of Spirit works, what we see is carnal works leading the worker into more carnality. It is a minus, but you can say “no” to it by the grace that has appeared to you.

WORLDLY PASSION

One of the purposes of grace is to help us say “no” to worldly passion. The bible beseechs us not to conform to this world, (Rom. 12:1-2), yet many people cannot restricts the forces behind the world. 

The world, they say is self-attractive and the passion rise from within which cannot be restricted. Friends, 2017 has had enough of its worldliness over your life, you can say “no” to this worldly passion that drives people from carnality to eternal canal- hell fire. This grace has appeared, stay with Him.

UNFORGIVENESS

What we call Our Lord's prayer in Matt. 6:9-13 explicitly stated the purposes of forgiveness. Well, it is Our Prayers thought us by our Lord. Unforgiveness has continued to tarry many people’s blessing because it remained a burden and a producer of sins of the heart against the offended fellow. It would have held Joseph back from the new season before him if he had not known this secret.

Unforgiveness is a load. We cannot just carry it everywhere we are going especially in 2018. “Forgive us our sin AS WE forgive those who sin against us.” points us to one pattern of forgiveness adopted by both God and men. That is, we forgive the same way God did. Or God did the same way we should do. How does God forgives us? Simple answer- INSTANT FORGIVENESS, ADVANCE FORGIVENESS, AND FORGIVENESS IN ARREARS. This we ought to do if we want 2018 to flourish for us. The goodnews is, the grace to say “no” to it has appeared to all men, let us take advantage.
