5 Easy Steps to Handle Rejection

It is not everything that you ask for that you get. If we all got everything we asked for, life would be chaotic. Imagine if everything you ever asked for were granted, no doubt the result would be less than appealing.

But then there are some things that are pertinent to your destiny that you might not have been able to acquire. You might have knocked on those doors only to be welcomed by a big, bold, smiling NO. If that is the case, don't give up!


Rejection is not failure.

Don't let rejection put your back on the ground.

The fact that you met with rejection in one endeavour does not mean you should quit. In fact sometimes rejection is proof that what you are doing is worthwhile. If you are doing something too big for others to handle they will reject you.

If men reject you don't reject your dreams. These five simple points will help you to handle rejection victoriously.

1. Don't blame yourself. Most times the first thing after a rejection is usually to blame one's self. Don't give in to this. 

2. Don't blame others. Even when it is clear that there is a conspiracy against you, don't blame others. You don't blame a blind man for not greeting you - after all he is blind.

3. Learn something from it. There is always a lesson to learn. When rejected know that there is a lesson. Look for lessons from that rejection that can help you make better decisions.

4. Keep your dreams alive. The worse thing that can happen to a man would be to throw his dreams away because of others. The greatest men stood by their dreams no matter how stupid they looked to others. Stay with your dreams.

5. Try again. Rejection is painful. Some people hurt by bad relationships have vowed never to love again. Don't be like that. NO simply means NEW OPPORTUNITY. Embrace your NO and try again in a better dimension.

Shalom.

3 Reasons Why You Need Jesus

1. There is an afterlife. Even people that do not believe in God have an unspoken assurance within them that there is an afterlife. In the afterlife there are two destinations, good (heaven) and bad (hell). Jesus is the ONLY way to the good part. 2. There is  war in this life. Everyone is at war! War within, war without, war amongst, war everywhere. The enemy (devil) that we wrestle knows he has limited time to wreck his havoc. Our enemy is relentless and brutal, he has no respect for positions and titles, he works wickedness everyday. The only name he fears is JESUS, you need Jesus to win every war, have rest, peace and lasting victory. 3. Spiritual Fulfilment. Human beings are mere branches to the Tree (God). No matter how hard we try to satisfy ourselves with other things, there is a deep ache in our hearts if we don't have a relationship with God. Jesus is the only fulfilling link to the Father. Jesus is our spiritual lifeblood. If we are ever going shed the spi...

WAY MAKER.

GOD KNOWS YOUR FUTURE, But it's more than that; God determines your future. I saw the story of a man of wealth in the papers. There was an image of a fuel attendant on one side and that of a man smiling in affluence on the other. The man had risen from being a fuel attendant to owner of a viable oil company. I checked and I discovered his testimony wasn't peculiar, there are many more similar breakthroughs. Let us not make the mistake that some made in putting their experience, knowledge and exposure before the word of God. Years ago there was a famine in the city of Samaria (so tough that people began to exchange their children as food) and all policies failed. There was a total shutdown. The word of the Lord came one day that the famine would end the very next day and there would be surplus. It sounded incredulous and a high ranking officer said "even if God opened windows in heaven it wouldn't be." That was the end of him. God's word was fulfilled...

Mistaken Identity

Nothing hurts more than when people take you to be something negative which you are not. If not handled properly it can dry the oil of motivation. Joseph had a DREAM but his brothers mistook him for a DREAMER. They said to one another, "...Behold, this dreamer cometh." (Genesis 37:19) Having a dream is NOT the same as being a dreamer. A dream is an appointment with destiny. A person who has a dream has an appointment that must be fulfilled. A dreamer is a person whose ideas and plans are not practical or based in reality. A dreamer is a joker. He talks about things he has no passion nor commitment to carry out. Joseph's brothers thought he was a dreamer. They were blinded by envy and driven by rage. They mistook their saviour for a serpent and tried to kill him, but God delivered Joseph out of their hands. Don't expect people to accept your dreams, They will call you a dreamer and it will hurt your feelings. They will try to bury your dreams but God will...
