Haven't you read this Scripture: The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone. (Mark 12:10). Jesus referred to Himself as the stone rejected by the builders. Although he would be rejected by most of the Jewish leaders, He would become the cornerstone of a new building, the Church. The cornerstone was used as a base to make sure that the other stones were straight & level. Likewise, Jesus' life & teaching would be the church's foundation. He is our foundation as the His church worldwide. He is the head of the church. So, Jesus is both the foundation & the head of the church. He is the author & finisher of our faith, the Alpha & the Omega, the beginning & ending of all things, the first & the last, the prince of peace, the root & offspring of David, the Bright Morning Star. He is our Saviour. He is the Healer, the Deliverer. He is Wonderful, Counselor, etc. He is the same yesterday, today & forevermore. He is the Messiah, our Rock refuge, fortress, a strong tower, the horn of our salvation. He is the One who was, who is & who is to come. God forbids that we reject people or one another. If we reject one another, He will use that rejection to SET UP the one who has been rejected. All of Heaven will back him up & prepare him for a comeback. God will help him to recover from a setback & the ins & out of rejection. He will prepare you & enable you to make a comeback. The comeback will be BIGGER & GREATER than what he was at the time of rejection. By way of testimony: Look at where God has taken me to. It's all because of rejection. I have been persecuted & rejected so many times. God has used the rejection to SELECT me instead, & worked through my life. He helped me correct my mistakes, & moulded me into something great; something that you now see with your very own eyes. I have made a comeback. The comeback is BIGGER & GREATER. I am not boasting, I am testifying. If you still see it as boasting: I am boasting in the Lord. Its Scriptural. I say Ebenezer: Thus far the Lord has taken me to. Praise the Lord.I will not rest, I haven't arrived. So I will seek God more. Study & obey His Word more. Pray & fast more. Ask for more of His presence & glory. Let me give you another practical example. When you kick a chameleon, it feels pain, but you would have helped it to move forward. This is what rejection does. By rejecting a person, inflicting pain on him, you help him to move forward & to do greater things. You make him a valuable & impactful member of the Body of Christ. Food for thought. God forbid that we reject one another. Friends, do not be influenced by DEMONS. You will kill other believers thinking that you are offering a service to God. You will do such things because you have not known the Father or Christ. (see John 16:2-3). Let me end here. Thank you Jesus. Good morning Holy Spirit. Prayer: Father, help us to accept all people as they are. Help us not to reject people or condemn them or bring shame upon their lives. I rebuke the spirit behind this situation in Jesus name. I loose the power of God, the power of healing & deliverance in Jesus name. I declare in the name of Jesus Christ: You are free. You are healed. You are delivered. Put your angels to action. Show your power & send your light into the situation. In Jesus mighty name we pray & believe, Amen. Peace be with you.
Business God's Way: During this annual shutdown for most businesses, i urge you to rest, have quality time with the family & connect with God. Go for a holiday with the family if you can afford. After that, spend some quality time with God in a quiet place for an hour or so & seek His guidance. Carry your note pad & write the points down. Read your Bible, do meditation & pray. Present your plans to the Lord for the coming year & let Him approve them in His own time & in His own way. Be calm, quiet & composed, in order to hear that small still voice, gentle whisper from God. Result: The voice of God will give you guidance & direction for the coming year 2023. If things have not been okay with you in business, the Lord will enable you to have peace & joy in the midst of such storms. He will give you a way out. Do not panic no matter what comes your way. Remain focused on the perfomance & growth of your business. Do not murmur or complain...
