Assertiveness is the quality of being self-assured and confident, without being aggressive in order to prove a point. It is also communicating with others in a direct manner.

From our opening scripture, we see that being assertive is the ability to say exactly what you mean, and stand by that word. It is learning to stay true to your values and communicating such without ambiguity. This is a challenge for many persons.

For the fear of being perceived as rude or selfish, some persons allow themselves to be pressured into doing what they should not be doing. In being assertive, it is OK to say “No” to people’s requests sometimes, especially when such requests go against your values, or causes you to derail from what you have set out to achieve.

Many have remained stagnant, stayed in wrong relationships, or taken bad business decisions because they were not assertive, whereas an assertive person is confident to take decisions necessary to move to a new level.

Thus, to become assertive, you must learn to say Yes and No where applicable

2. Prayer for the leaders: Father in the name of Jesus, we pray for the government of Namibia that it will favour the course of the Gospel in the nation, in Jesus Name.
