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.

Faith In Action

Image
One of the most discussed subjects in the Christian belief is the concept of faith. Faith is an interesting topic because without it no one can please God (Hebrews 11:6). It is the backbone of Christianity, and everything is built around it. Take faith out of the believer's life and he/she will become as an empty balloon, tossed to and fro, and carried away by the wind of life.  What is faith? Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Hebrews 11:1 Faith is the prerequisite for our walk with God. God demands it because it is through its lens that we can come to know of Him. Based on the biblical definition of faith, it is simply believing in something you cannot prove. But there are two aspects of it: intellectual assent and trust. Intellectual assent is when deep down within yourself you believe something to be true without argument. Trust on the other hand is moving beyond what you believe into actually relying on what you be

Are All Dreams From God?

Image
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

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.
