THE POWER OF 'NO'
Sometimes The Most Powerful Word We Can Say is “No.”
NO to temptation. NO to compromise. NO to things that look good but will destroy our peace. NO to sin even when nobody is watching.
JOSEPH HAD EVERY REASON TO GIVE IN. He was young. Far from home. Lonely. No family around. And Potiphar’s wife kept pressuring him day after day. No one would have known. BUT JOSEPH STILL SAID "NO".
Not because it was easy but because HE FEARED GOD MORE THAN HE FEARED LOSING HIS POSITION.
He said,
Genesis 39:9 NASB1995
[9] ...How then could I do this great evil and sin against God?”
Because of that one “NO,” he lost his comfort, he lost his job, he was thrown into prison.
But HE KEPT HIS CHARACTER. And later, GOD LIFTED HIM HIGHER than he ever imagined.
EVERY TIME WE SAY NO TO SIN, WE SAY YES TO GOD’S PURPOSE. “No” PROTECTS OUR FUTURE. “No” PROTECTS OUR PEACE. “No” PROTECTS OUR CALLING.
SAYING 'NO' DOESN’T MAKE US WEAK. Sometimes IT’S THE STRONGEST, MOST FAITHFUL THING WE CAN DO.
