THE BLESSED SIDE OF REJECTION
Before they emerge as giants in their generation, men and women in the Bible experienced all of them one thing in common called “REJECTION”.
Abraham was rejected. Isaac was rejected. Jacob was rejected. Joseph was rejected. Moses was rejected. Christ was rejected. Paul and all the other apostles were rejected.
Like it or not, you will be rejected, not accepted and not appreciated by others even those you would expect the least (husband, wife, children, boss, neighbour, parent, pastor etc...)
REJECTION IS NOT ORDAINED TO STOP LIFE OR KILL YOUR DESTINY BUT TO LEAD YOU TO HIGHER LEVELS IN LIFE
Rejection happens for a purpose. In the plan of God, rejection is always the gateway to promotion.
In Psalm 118:22, the builders rejected the stone but God turned the rejected stone into the head stone of the corner.
The sons of Jacob rejected Joseph but God turned the rejected Joseph as the life preserver of those who rejected him.
The Israelites rejected Moses but God turned the rejected Moses as the chied deliverer of those who rejected him.
CHANGE THE WAY YOU SEE REJECTION AND REJECTION WILL CHANGE YOU TO A BETTER YOU
Rejection can kill or fulfill your destiny, stagnates or advances your life depending on how you consider it.
If rejection is considered as a stumbling block, the devil will use it to hurt you, to keep you bitter and to kill your destiny. If it is considered as a stepping stone, God will use it to heal you, to make you better and to fulfill your destiny on the earth.
After being rejected and sold by his brothers, Joseph never allowed bitterness to kill his destiny. Rather, he was healed, he forgave them and did them good.
In Genesis 50:20, he tells them,
"But as for you, ye thought evil against me; [but] God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as [it is] this day, to save much people alive."
PRAYER
I PRAY MY FATHER TO FILL YOUR SOUL WITH JOY, YOUR HEART WITH PRAISE AND YOUR MOUTH WITH THANKSGIVING. MAY MY FATHER HEAL YOU AND UPROOT BITTERNESS, RESENTMENT AND ANGER FROM YOUR HEART IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST. SO SHALL IT BE!
Father, I am thankful and grateful to you for allowing ------------ (mention his or her or their names) to reject me. I come before you and confess that I feel bitter and resentful toward ------------ (mention his or her or their names). But today, I pray that by the power of your Holy Spirit you heal me and help me to forgive them and to love them in the Name of Jesus Christ!
SO SHALL IT BE!
JESUS IS LORD!
