REJECTION

-

 Rejections come with hurt, pain, and sometimes tears. But wait for a second, do you know that even Jesus was rejected in the course of his earthly ministry? The stone the builder rejected has become the chief cornerstone. He was rejected by his brethren and countrymen. How and why will you think that you will escape rejection? Well, maybe because I am in academia and I am used to rejection letters. Brilliant ideas have been rejected one way or the other. Landmark breakthroughs have been rejected one way or the other. I have become used to rejection because everyone will never accept you or your ideas. You need to understand this and not seek acceptance all the time. However, we must learn why rejection has come! Rejections can help you to package yourself and your ideas better. You may be rejected because the idea is not well presented, you may be rejected because your idea is even better and the others are threatened. You may be rejected because you are not ready yet. Don't be too hard on yourself man. You may be rejected as a brother asking a sister out. That's not the end of life. Rejections should help you strengthen what you have and who you are. Mend your weaknesses, and end the mistakes that brought rejection. If people rejected you for no reason what can happen to you? Don't fret. They will look for you later on. Meanwhile, your background, race, faith, and even looks can cause you to be rejected. They are not tangible reasons to fear. Jephthah was rejected by his kindred for he was born of a prostitute. Yes, he was born through a wrong alliance but his birth was not a mistake. He strengthened himself and became a beautiful and fantastic warrior. The kindred that rejected him later lookout for him to be their leader. He never allows their rejection to make him a waste. No. he press further, sought God, and developed his military skills. He became their leader. Just make sure you learn from rejection and move on. 

Reference: Judges 11 v 2-8.

    Rejection can be extremely hard. In fact, very tough and can bring tears, but once you learn from it, you become better

UNDERSTANDING THE TIMES

-
Seriously, understanding your times in the making process poses a  great challenge to many as children of God. Unlike the trees and crops whose seasons are relatively constant in planting and fruition, every man has a unique timing in both. It is laid on us to understand under God what our times and seasons are. A man who ought to be in the planting season is expressing fruits (Results of being made). A man who ought to be in the germination stage is celebrating the harvest. See, once you miss your timing in life, there is already a huge deficit in purpose fulfillment. Don't envy any man. See their timeline and you will understand. One heavy blow the enemy has landed on our generation of young ones is to be fruitful without getting planted. They want to ride cars, build houses, have huge money, and get to do the "big" things without being buried as in planting. No cultivation,  no rooting, no thinning, and no manuring, none. They want to skip those times because of one ol

FRIENDS

-
The circle of people around you has a huge influence on who you are becoming. Remember, we have discussed that you are becoming what you will become.  No one became anything suddenly. It's a process. While you are becoming what you will become, you need to know that the friends you keep will have a large influence on you. Let me tell you the bitter truth. You cannot be friends with everyone. An attempt to try it will be the beginning of you becoming a deformed you. It is foolishness to want everyone in your camp and be in the "good" book of everyone. You must learn to select your friends. Even if they select you, you must also check your parameters of judgment to bring such people close. Meanwhile, some people may be colleagues at work and their position must not be more. Some may be mere acquaintances, an attempt to make them more than that will be catastrophic for your dream and goals in life. You dare not discuss details of your life with such. A friend is indeed a dee

TRUST GOD EVEN IF IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE

-
Young man, I am glad to pen some issues on your current challenges to you today. You may be currently in the worst state you could ever be. Let me tell you not to shift your attention away from God. Stay with him. Learn to trust God in all you do. Hold firmly to the truth of his word that he never fails. Even when it does not make sense, trust him harder. Even when it does not match your physical senses and the road seems blocked, trust him better. Trust God if it is senseless. Trust God if it's locked and it can't be opened by men. Trust God is it's dead and no hope of life. Trust God if it's broken and can't be fixed by men. Trust God when all road seems to be locked down. Trust God when the doctors says it can't be fixed medically. Trust God when no man is there to lift you. Trust God when you are in the afternoon or evening of your life here and you look like an under achiever. God is never going to be late on your case. He is never going to fail you. He is
