If I have friends who are negatively influencing me, they are always around me and I don’t want to hurt their feelings, what are practical tips on how to break away from them.

[Jehseykah]

Stop hanging out with them. If asked, don’t be afraid or ashamed to tell them your identity in Chrst. They may be influenced by your decision.

[PastorSola]

Please let’s comment.

If I have friends who are negatively influencing me, they are always around me and I don’t want to hurt their feelings, what are practical tips on how to break away from them.

But they are also hurting your feelings and won’t mind to continue to hurt you. It takes courage to put an end to negative peer pressure. You should speak to you friends politely about what they are doing that isn’t right and expect them to respect your decision.

[PastorEsther]

Like Sis Iyowunna said during her teaching, you break away. First, change your associations. Begin to hang our with believers of like precious faith and you will see that you will have less time for the other friends. encourage them to join you if they want to spend more time with you they should join you for fellowship and use the opportunity to talk to them about your new life in Christ.

[Deleted User]

If we constantly remind ourselves of our identify it will help us pull away without sentiments.

[Wuly]

It’s alright to hurt their feelings. Especially knowing that your life may very well depend on the company you keep. They will either join you or leave you and that is fine. However, if they leave you and you choose to reach out to them ensure you have grown some before doing so. Otherwise you may fall back under their influence.

[Gloria Akintoye]

Many times you may have to break free from wrong influences. The dictionary has the word, YES and NO. saying either is a choice and you should be able to say No in love, even if it hurts.

[Nkechinyere]

Hello people, we didn’t come here just to say good evening oh

[Nkechinyere]

What high points did you pick up ? Share with us

[PastorEsther]

My high points are that Peer Pressure is real, Courage is required to overcome. Breaking away is the right response. Just refuse to be put under that pressure by courageouly opening your mouth to tell them that there has been a shift in your life for Jesus.

[PastorSola]

Waiting…

[Gloria Akintoye]

You must know who you are in order not to be influenced by other peoples ungodly opinion

[Jehseykah]

We should be courageous to stop and take a positive turn if we find ourselves moving in the wrong direction. Remember we are ambassadors of Christ here on earth.

[Davidkay]

I am the in-thing. I should be the one setting the pace (in what is being said, in dressing, in relationship, etc) and being the example others follow.

[Wuly]

We should be convinced within ourselves that being God’s child, being one with Him is more than enough for us. We should have our identity entrenched in that truth. That way we won’t feel the need to please anybody or do anything that is opposed to Him. My take away.

[PastorSola]

Any sistaz and suitors in the house?

Why are there no comments and questions?

[Davidkay]

I moved in to a new location, my first acquaintances are unbelievers. They really like me and want me to become their friends, what are the best ways for me to establish my influence in order not get sucked-in (influenced) into this new new environment?

[Iyowuna]

Bros i announce my identity quickly when I find myself under such circumstances. That itself becomes a positive pressure for you.

[Wuly]

From the onset I announce my identity as a child of God. My actions should announce for me before I verbally say so. Standing up for what I believe at every chance I get should let them know where I stand. I think being bold and speaking in love influences people around us.

[Jehseykah]

Let them see the life of Chrst reflected in the way I carry myself. Share the gospel and invite them to church.

[PastorSola]

We have to end the meeting now, as there have been little or no interaction from the sistaz and suitors in the form of comments and questions.

Thank you Sister Iyowuna for the insightful teaching.

Thanks to our hosts too.

Have a lovely evening everyone and a blessed week ahead.

See you next time.

[Iyowuna]

Thank you Pastor

[Jehseykah]

Thank you Pastors. Thank Dr. Iyowuna. Have a blessed week everyone
