 Welcome
CONVENTION
F
irst of all, let me clarify something: The NO MORE Event is
here to encourage you to stop being a “crowd pleaser” and
start saying “NO” more often than “yes”.
At work and at home, you say “yes” so often that you
forget what you’re saying yes to. Therefore, learning to say
“no” is a powerful skill.
It’s not a call to arms or a cue to be a hater. It is about
personal development. About working to silence the
“people pleaser” dwelling within, so we can try to be
faultless with our word and consequently more successful in
life.
The aim of this convention is to encourage you to do what
Jesus taught in Matthew 5.37, saying, “Let your ‘Yes’ be
‘Yes,’ and your ‘No,’ ‘No’.”
Whatever problem to which you say “NO MORE” has some
sort of “lie detector instrument” that can verify whether or not
your “NO” is truly “NO”!
A lie detector is an instrument for determining whether
a person is telling the truth by testing for physiological
changes considered to be associated with lying.
And in the verse above, Jesus is revealing the importance
of you saying what you mean. Many people say “MAYBE”
when they want to say “NO”. There is a saying that goes, “By
saying yes when you need to say “NO”, you cripple the most
important relationship in your life: the relationship between
you and you!”
Saying “NO MORE” to your problems is not enough though.
You have to really mean it. You have to be in a stage of FED-
UPNESS.
To be FED UP with something is to be bored,
annoyed, or disappointed, especially by something that
you have experienced for TOO LONG. Can the term “TOO
LONG” highlight in your memory some problems that have
lasted so much in your life? Can you feel disappointed at
them? Are you “SICK AND TIRED” of those problems? Do you
hate them and want to EXTERMINATE them today once and
for all?
If you say yes to all these questions, then you are ready to
say “NO MORE” to them and really mean it!
The only thing that you need to add to your “NO MORE”
power is the POWER that comes from above. Learn that
GOD has decided to do things on the earth with the
participation of men, and it works the other way around too,
since we can only “do things” with GOD’s participation.
What you mostly need to do in order to bring
GOD’s participation in the matter today is to have FAITH in
the NAME OF JESUS!
The NAME OF JESUS has been given all the power!

“All authority [power] has been given to Me in heaven and
on earth.” (Matthew 28.18)
“Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him
the name which is above every name, that at the name of
Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of
those on earth, and of those under the earth, and that every
tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the
glory of God the Father.” (Philippians 2.9,11)
The well-known account of Jesus calming a storm on the
Sea of Galilee provides great understanding for exercising faith
in difficult situations. It teaches us that Faith prevails over
logic/reason.
It so happened that a powerful storm came upon Jesus
and His disciples as they sailed across the Sea of Galilee.
Eventually, the terrifying wind and waves generated by the
storm overwhelmed the disciples who had desperately been
trying to bail water from the boat, and the boat is now on the
edge of sinking. The desperate disciples awake Jesus, who,
astonishingly, had been sleeping through the whole event.
Jesus awakes and immediately stops the storm. The disciples
were so amazed that they said to one another, “Who can this
be, that even the wind and the sea obey Him!” (Mark 4.35-41)
God promised that there would be one day when people would
know His name: “Therefore My people shall know My name.”
(Isaiah 52.6)
The name of JESUS is the name of God! Jesus said, “And these
signs will follow those who believe: IN MY NAME they will
cast out demons.” (Mark 16.17)
So when you say “NO MORE” to your problem, and add “IN THE
NAME OF JESUS” to it, your problem MUST GO AWAY.
And of course, you have to BELIEVE.
In Acts 3.1-10, the Bible tells us the story of a lame man (a man
who couldn’t walk or move) who met Peter and John (Jesus’s
disciple). That lame man’s condition reminds you of your
condition, doesn’t it? You can’t move anymore. Your life has
been stagnant. But what happened to that lame man shows
what the NO MORE + THE NAME OF JESUS combination can
do.
“Then Peter said, “Silver and gold I do not have, but what I
do have I give you: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth,
rise up and walk.” And he took him by the right hand and
lifted him up, and immediately his feet and ankle bones
received strength. So he, leaping up, stood and walked
and entered the temple with them—walking, leaping, and
praising God.” (Verses 6 to 8)
The same thing can happen to you today, IF you begin to
believe in the NAME OF GOD: JESUS!
