The kind of people around us has a way of influencing what we become in life. Also, the things we hear and see are very important while we run the race of life. This is why parents are advised to bless their children instead of cursing them because words have power. However, Pastor Paul Enenche spoke to his members on the need to watch the company they keep and the things they hear.
He revealed that there are people when they were growing up, whose fathers keep on telling them; “look at you, what will you become? You can’t amount to anything.” And as a result of that, they grew up with a limitation. He said that he once met a young man who was a terrible Kleptomania, already married man but, he was a chronic thief and when he was interviewing him, he asked, “What happened to you? He then replied that when he was younger, his father always called him a thief for any small thing, so when he grew up, every time he saw something, a voice will tell him; “Carry it, nobody is looking.”
He would take the things, even things he didn’t need, he will just pick them because the voice spoke to him from childhood that he was doomed to be a thief. “I prophesy to you today; every voice that is in your spirit, that is contrary to your destiny; I declare that they are deleted right now,” he said. That is why you should beware of who you give your ear to. Somebody says, take money and he insults the hell out of your head, what do you do? You have to say, “Keep your money with your insults.” If you lose money, you can make money. But if you lose faith, it is hard.
Finally, he said that in the same manner, the right company will do the opposite for you when you are continuously hearing the right things (Acts 4:13). Your company affects your confidence. When you company with cowards, you end in cowardice; when you company with the courageous you can’t end without courage.
