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.

HOW MANY TIMES DO YOU COUNT MONEY?

Recently, I had to make a lot of cash lodgments at the bank, and I proceeded to arrange and count the notes. I counted the various currency notes like three times and sorted them accordingly. When I got to the bank, the teller went to work, and I wasn’t surprised that the count was perfectly correct. The confidence was because I had double-checked the notes; the margin for error was very slim. In our Christian walk, we mustn’t be overly bold about our right standing in Christ if we haven’t examined ourselves again and again. 2 Cor. 13:5b says, “Examine yourselves as to whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves…” Test yourself! Are you standing, or are you just thinking that you are standing? When I counted the money the first time, I could have stopped, but I needed the certainty. I know that I am born again, but I need to examine my heart: is there something hidden there that shouldn’t be there? Once, I was speaking to a group of people, and the manner of my speech wasn’t in confo...

IF WE MUST BOAST

If we must boast, let us boast of the mercies of the LORD. Two students attend lectures and put in the same level of preparation; one scores an “A” and the other a “C”. Many explanations can be available, but when we hold all other things constant, mercy is the difference between men. I have written an exam before where I prepared diligently but got into the exam hall and misinterpreted the questions, writing the exact opposite of what was expected. After the exam, I had only one prayer: God, have mercy! In Acts 13, Paul and some other prophets separated themselves to fast and pray. Mercy spoke, and Paul and Barnabas were called into a special assignment. Were they better or more diligent than the others who were not called into that particular assignment? I don’t think so. Apostle Paul later told us that everything he did was a result of the grace of God. God’s mercy and grace are what enable us to achieve any kind of result in life. Let’s be careful how we think. Let’s be careful how...

Sink the Ego, Say the Sorry

Have you wronged someone and are fighting within you to say that you are sorry? Have you bruised someone? Or have you done nothing wrong and someone is annoyed with you? Just say sorry. The Bible says "Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed..." - James 5:16. Our words carry healing virtue we should use it right. Is it possible not to bite your tongue? It is usually a kind of reflex, beyond control. That's the reality of human relations, no matter how careful we are, sometimes we step on one another's toes. When this happens our reaction shows the quality of our character. Saying that you are sorry goes a long way in sustaining healthy relationships. In fact it carries an anointing to resolve conflicts quick. Is it easy to say sorry? This depends on a number of things, a sincere apology is obviously more difficult to render than one which is not. Saying sorry particularly when you are convinced you are right is als...
