Rejected, Dejected but Grateful

Have you been rejected by anyone or by an organisation? Its not the best feeling in the world. Rejection leaves one pandering at the abyss of loneliness and desperation, wondering why and what could have been done to save the situation. dejection is what many feel after being rejected. Dejection is the sorrow or grief we have after being refused or granted what we desired. Both these feelings are companions that many are akin to in the world we live in. If you have never felt these feelings then please go on living as you will soon know them. What I have come to discover is that we are slowly becoming immune to the effects of rejection that dumping relationships either on personal or corporate grounds is easier today than ever before. But as I have observed human behaviour I have also come to discover a greater rejection that is taking place in our lives today.

Rejecting truth is the greatest concern I have for humanity today. Truth as presented by God is what has and will sustain humanity. Truth even amongst friends is not held in high esteem. Forgiveness is one truth many are rejecting today. It's more fashionable to hold a grudge than to forgive and move on in wholeness. Speaking the truth is not a guarantee today amongst many people which is causing heartache, remorse and rejection in many lives.

Life is best lived by wholehearted people. Lives that are blighted with rejection and dejection have hearts that are broken. A broken heart cannot relate well. God is the healer and mender of broken hearts. He took Jesus who was the rejected one and made Him the head. God is capable of turning your situation around from one of rejection and dejection to hope. The key to this turn around is first forgiveness. Forgive those who have wronged you. Forgive yourself of any wrong decision you have made that has caused you to regress in life. The next key is giving thanks. Rejection and dejection becloud the horizon of hope with darkness and failure. Having a grateful heart opens the well springs of hope to flow through your broken heart. I have made up my mind that whenever I encounter rejection, I will celebrate that moment because a greater good is coming my way. I have seen in Jesus an example of what happens when one who is rejected is visited by God. Remember that Jesus was rejected by His own, hang on a cross but rose from the dead. Let God visit you, allow truth to mend your heart and watch as God raises you up from the place of rejection to a place of honour.

Now is....

Everyday I seek to share something that I have learnt through the daily reading. I make a choice to discipline myself not to write too much as we inundated with a lot of reading material. Feel free to add comments because that way we share and thus encourage one another to grow into the fullness of Christ. Today I am amazed at the fact that God will always remember His covenant and fulfill the promise. I want to list five words in the order they appear in one scripture that showed God is at work in our lives. Remembered : My God will never forget me. To be delayed is not to be denied as God will surely remember. God spoke and said to Sarah that He would return at the appointed time; at the right season!!! I do believe that we are in a season where we will see God begin to act on the promises that seem forgotten. Or better put in another way there is a resurrection of seemingly forgotten prophecies that is about to take place. Dry bones are beginning to take shape. Listened : No longer ...

Blessing or ....

To live well is one thing we all desire. I have never met anyone who did not want to live well. By living well for some people it means helping others. For others it means having a successful business. Yet for others it means travelling the world. I have discovered that it is not money that empowers but the blessing of God that empowers. Money is simply one of the many ways that the effects of the blessing may show up. Many times today in society we confuse money with being blessed yet people like Mother Teresa did not flaunt money but her life still is blessing many people round the world. The book of Deuteronomy has challenged me to desire to be blessed. Anyone who has walked with the blessing of God in their live has seen doors open that are a struggle for others. Yesterday I wrote about obedience. What obedience opens our lives to is the operation of the blessing. By choosing to obey the Word we are choosing to open our lives to be blessed. The purpose of being blessed is not self ...

Absalom's Treachery

Day 91 Reading: 2 Sam. 14:1 - 2 Sam. 15:37 One of life's most painful lessons is the treachery of human beings. When family or friends hurt you and leave you grieving the pain is not the same as when someone out on the street does something wrong. The pain goes deeper and it's easy to become bitter. Absalom had fled from Israel knowing that he was a wanted man for the murder and revenge on Ammon his step-brother. Joab arranged for a wise woman to go see David and get him to forgive Absalom. The wise woman made David realise that he was not setting a godly example by exiling Absalom. The wise woman made David understand that God will not banish anyone but he will seek the person out. God will do everything in His power to restore the banished person. The wise woman was asking David not to forget the grace of God that enables one to enjoy forgiveness. David gets Absalom brought back to Jerusalem however for 2 years he didn't see him. Now, this was worse than ...
