Overcoming peer pressure is something we can't handle gently.
It's a game that needs a matured mind to handle. Peer group can influence our life either negatively or positively. That is why as humans, as believers we have to choose our friends as demonstrated in the sermon.
Even the Bible says that the companion of fools shall be destroyed. This lay emphasis on the need to choose your friends.
This is important as bad Company corrupts good manner.
I don't know if anyone agrees with me on this, the outcome of our life depends on two things, the books we read and the people we associates with.
Everyday, thousands of persons cross our parts, we converse with majority of them but it is in our place to choose which one we keep as friend and the one we let go.
Sometimes we can't always control the things we hear each day but we can control the people we listen to.
In a world where everyone is talking, you can choose what to Chanel you attention to.
To overcome peer pressure we must always pay attention to the word of God, follow the leading of the holy spirit.
We must discover ourselves, discover purpose, so you don't end up living someone else's life. Pressure sets in when we try to be like someone. You try every means just to do what the other person is doing without finding out if your strength can fit in. The truth is, we suffer when we try to do things that is not meant for our kind of person
Surround yourself with friends who are supportive, friends who help each other grow and not compete with each other.
