HANDLING CORRECTION, REJECTION AND BETRAYAL CORRECTLY 

Hebrews 4:15



If there is one person that handled the three well and came out on the other side undefined by them, it is JESUS.


You will want to ask if Jesus went through correction. Yes, 


The bible says first that in all things He was made like unto us, tempted at all points and touched by the feelings of our infirmities, Hebrews 4:15


Secondly that He learnt obedience through suffering, Hebrews 5:8.


So if there is one person you ought to look unto if you are going through or have gone through any of these three, it is Jesus, Hebrews 2:2.


He is our perfect example in all three!


If you have never suffered rejection you will never be able to handle acceptance well. 


There are lessons only rejection can teach us. So, when you face rejection, don't feel bad. Learn the lessons and move on. 


Every phase of life God ushers us into is to teach us something that we will need for the next phase. 


You should never allow rejection define who you are or change your perspective of who you are. You are not who people says you are.


Rather, you are who God says you are. You must find a way of believing this. Bevause at some point in our lives we have all faced a measure of rejection.


It must never be allowed to break us and define us but to make us.


You must learn to always separate your person from your position and be discerning which of the two  people are flocking around. Your person or your position? 


When you understand this, you will know what to protect and fight to keep. 


You need the lessons learnt in the low places of life to survive in the high places of life. Make sure you are learning well. 


Don't rush your seasons or rush out of a place of discomfort because it is not convenient. 


There are lessons to learn there which will preserve you when you get to the high places of life. 


If everybody leaves your life, make sure God is still there. 


Rejection is an eyesalve it helps us see clearly, Revelations 3:18


Many of those things we hate are eyesalves that help us see clearly.  


Eye salve is hurting when applied to the eyes, but right after, our sight.becomes clearer. 


When God begins to apply those things we don't like to our lives, know that what He is applying is eyes salve so that we can see clearly.  


Instead of casting and binding some situations, that serves as eyesalve, ask God, what are you trying to show me? 


A major number of people just leave your ministry after an instruction the Lord gave you and you obeyed. 


It may not always be the devil, it could just be God separating men for you and those that left are those that will cause you pain and headache in the new level God is taking you to, Judges 7:2-7.


A trusted friend betrayed you, it may not always be the work of the devil, it could be that God is revealing to you what is in the heart of that person all this while, 


Not every seasons of your life will be seasons of harvest or promotion or lifting. 


Some seasons will be seasons of learning for you and they are allowed by God as part of your training.


Where you will learn the lessons that will later preserve you in the future. 


God knows how to blend different seasons in our lives just to see that we become all that He wants us to be and to see to it that we are well equipped to face the world that He has sent us to, Jeremiah  48:11, 


Some will be seasons of trial, where God tests what He has been building in us over time so He can promote us. We must let patience run its full course at such times, James 1:2-4.


Some seasons in our lives will be seasons of correction and discipline, Hebrews 12:5-13, we must learn to endure. 


Correction is better than commendation. Correction adds to you and put a grace upon your life for the very thing you are being corrected for to be able to rise above it, Psalm 141:5


Corrections make us stronger and better Commendation though encourages but it can make us weaker when it is too much and not handled properly, Proverbs 27:6


Beware of the praise of men, it is like a poison to your spirit, though soothing to your flesh.


Correction is health to our spirit but like a bile to our flesh. It is very bitter to our flesh and we fight it often times, Proverbs 27:6


It is better to go to the house of correction than to the house of commendation because the house of correction is a house of grace.


Some of the major lessons God will allow us to learn and major experiences He will pass us through is to wean us from overdependence on men and root us in dependence on Him only, Jeremiah 17:5-8


He will do everything to bring us into this place. Until them we are not safe neither is anything He places in our hands. 


One fast way to get to this place is to go through rejection. It could be marital, parental, societal or group rejection.


Going through rejectuon will build strength and resilience in us.  We will come to a place that whatever we do, we are not doing because of men but because of God.


Ask the Lord to give you His own perspective in every situation of correction, betrayal and rejection you may be going through and you will find yourself smiling through it.


PRAYER: Father, I Receive grace to handle rejection, correction and betrayal well in Jesus name. 


PEACE


SALVATION PRAYER


Anything short of you being born again and living a life of holiness and purity hurt Jesus so much. But you can make things right here and now by saying this simple prayer and mean it genuinely from your heart:


 Lord Jesus I come to you today. I acknowledge that I am a sinner and I cannot help myself. I repent of all my sins and I forsake them. Jesus, I invite you into my life, be my Lord, be my Saviour. 


Wash me by your precious blood, forgive my sins and write my name in the book of life. From this day, I promise to follow you all the rest of my life. Help me Lord, in Jesus name, Amen. Congratulations you are now born again!


PEACE

LESSONS FROM THE SHIPWRECK  Acts 27&28 Sometimes God brings about deliverance painfully slow. He seems to take all His time. It is because what God wants you to get out of that situation is far more than just being delivered.  Sometimes what you come out with is not just the testimony of deliverance or promotion, an anointing comes upon you on the other side of it.  It is not just an affliction, it is also your test. So instead of God bringing you out at once, He makes you walk through the length and breath of the situation and then brings you out on the other side. If you can get and sustain God's perspective on any situation the problem is 50% solved.  You can't enter the house of a strong man and spoil his goods without first binding the strong man, Mark 3;27 You are a strong man and satan cannot spoil your goods without first binding you and his first weapon for binding people is fear.  He uses fear to paralyze people. It is his chiefest weapon, Hebrews 2:15 If God can

THEY THAT BE PLANTED Psalm 92:13&14 Sometimes in life we hurry and move from place to place only to find out we have never really left one spot.  But atimes we remain in one physical location for long, only to find out that we have reached the world even from that one spot.  The Bible talks about being planted in one spot and from that spot the shadow of your branches will spread and cover the hills and mountains and you will spread your boughs and root to the seas and rivers, Psalm 80:8-11. The blessings of God are not place dependent they are His will dependent.  People keep making that mistake over and over again and till tomorrow they will keep making it but you can exempt yourself from that statistics. You cam be in one spot and kings of the earth will come and meet you in that one spot and bring you out, that is the description of a man God is working it.  People will seek out the grace from wherever it is hiding whether in the wilderness, desert or bush.  They remain at thei

GAINING MASTERY OVER CHANGES IN TIMES AND SEASONS Genesis 8:22 Spiritual seasons comes to an end as well as Natural seasons. One thing you must learn early in your walk with God is flexibility. Flexibility and alignment goes hand in hand. This is why...... God is dynamic (John 3:8), life is dynamic and we should also be dynamic.  Seasons change but a Christian that will live above the changing times and seasons is the one that has the flexibility to be evolving above the demands of the times and seasons.  God doesn't change but He moves and his strategies and methods change from time to time to match the changes in times and seasons.  That you are moving doesn't mean you are changing. Change and movement are two different things entirely.  In the minds of many it means the same thing especially where God is concerned.  Sometimes the changes in times and seasons are caused by demonic orchestrations and marshalled as attack against our spiritual life, Exodus 5:7 The victory lies
