Misan nodded, listening carefully to the woman.
The pastor went on, “People don’t link their decisions and choices to their experiences or upbringing because they don’t realize they can affect their decisions and choices positively or negatively. And sadly, a person will continue in that way, making wrong decisions and choices unless something happens to terminate the habit. For example, a girl who has been introduced to sex at an early age may end up believing that what happened to her is normal and she may grow up sleeping with every Tom, Dick and Harry. Why? She has been influenced by her upbringing and experience. Or worse still, a person who feels there is no love at home may go out to look for love in the wrong places, where there is no true love.”
This statement made Misan sit up straight. This was what happened to her.
“This is also because of the upbringing and experience. Where a person has been making wrong decisions as a result of upbringing and experience, that person will have to sit down, think, and regain control of his or her life by making a conscious effort to stop the negative spirit and terminate the habit.” The pastor concluded.
