Key Verse:
“My son, if sinners entice thee, consent thou not.” Proverbs 1:10
Message
Matthew was in the examination hall when Erik, one of his classmates started calling and asking him for answers to some of the questions. He refused and this got Erik very angry. After the examination, he confronted Matthew and told him “I will not play with you again.” Matthew responded, “Even if you don’t play with me, I can’t tell you answers during examination because it is wrong.”
Erik went further to say, “But nobody will know, more so that our teacher is always busy with her phone.” To that, Matthew replied, “God’s eyes are everywhere beholding the good and the bad. He sees all things. I will rather obey God than men.” Friends of Jesus should learn to say no to sin and temptation from classmates, friends or older people. You should not be afraid. Stand firm for God and He will crown your efforts with good success.
