Ignoring The Naysayers


There are two types of people that you will come across, who will leave a mark in your life. One will positively and greatly influence you, and the other will degrade and negatively influence you. These are known as motivators and naysayers. 

 This post will concentrate on the naysayers because, sadly, they are more vampent in affecting and bringing people down. Understand that not everyone is going to agree or be in supportive of what you do, especially, when it has to do with your dreams or visions. 

Who are the naysayers?

A naysayer is a person who denies, refuses, opposes, or is skeptical or cynical about something or "another person". They habitually express negative or pessimistic views: despite a general feeling that things are going well or that a person is doing well. 

Jesus, the Son of God, came on earth and performed great signs and wonders, yet some people rose against Him. They knew what He was doing was genuine and that it came from God, and even saw how well He was doing. Nevertheless, they couldn't say any kind words to Him. They doubted and called Him all kinds of names. 

Then was brought unto him one possessed with a devil, blind, and dumb: and he healed him, insomuch that the blind and dumb both spake and saw. And all the people were amazed, and said, Is not this the son of David? But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, This fellow doth not cast out devils, but by Beelzebub the prince of the devils. Mathew 12:22-24

Closing your ears to naysayers.

Naysayers have nothing to offer you and their opinion does not define or represent who you are. Have it in mind that not everyone is going to understand you or the things you do. Let them be; they have a right to their opinion and you have every right to ignore them. 
There is this quote that says that every level brings new devils. Every level you get to in life, the more will be the naysayers. As you climb up to the top, don't expect everyone to push you. But also expect those who will be willing to pull you down. 
The only thing that is able to shut the mouth of the naysayers is the result you produce. Work hard in silence, stay focused, be determined, be willing to fail and to rise again, and you will ascend higher above their expectation.

Covid19: A judgement from God?

Image
In times like these, the only thing we should be spreading around is a message of hope. I'm here by the grace of God, to share with you a vision I received from the Lord on March 11th, 2020. In the vision, I saw chaos in the world. People were panicking and screaming as they ran around. All of a sudden, the sky changed and a powdered substance which consisted of different colors, spread across the globe in a rapid motion. As I kept looking, I saw two people flying in the sky towards the substance that was spreading over the globe. The faster they flew towards the substance, the faster it spread. I could hear the two screaming with a voice of HOPE that they got everything under control so everyone should stay calm and not panic. These two beings stretched out their hands and something went forth from their hand.  As soon as it mixed with the substance (with different colors) it was as though neutralization had taken place as it turned into water and hit the ground.

Are All Dreams From God?

In one of my posts do you dream? , we saw that God is the source of our dreams. He uses dreams as a medium of communication to reveal things to us. However, not all dreams are from God. What I mean is that not all of our dreams are inspired by God. Shocking but it's the truth. And as Jesus said it's our knowledge of the truth that will set us free (John 8:32). So our knowledge and understanding of dreams will help us to properly deal with them. For  we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against  the rulers, against the authorities, against  the cosmic powers over  this present darkness, against  the spiritual forces of evil  in the heavenly places. Ephesians 6:12 As Christians, we are in a constant battle with demonic evil forces whose ultimate goal is to see our destruction.  Can our dreams be influenced by evil spirits? Amid  thoughts from  visions of the night,   when  deep sleep falls on men, 14  dread came upon me, and trembling, which made all

A Life Of Obedience

There is something remarkable about salespersons that is going to help us in this article. Every good salesperson has a quality embedded him that enables him to touch the heart of his customers upon his approach. He is able to study every new costumer and know how to convince them that their product is worth of buying. As believers, we are not salespersons, but we ought to have certain qualities in us that will enable us to prove to God that we are worth of His goodness. Being in a relationship with God calls for a thorough study of Him. We need to study God and His ways so we will be equipped with the ability to know how to touch His heart. Apparently, there is no amount of work that we will do that will ever equate God's goodness or love for us. However, the Bible gives us an "easy" way of reaching out to God's heart.    And Samuel said, Hath the  Lord  as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the  Lord ? Behold, to
