THE PAST

  THE PAST Isaiah 43:8-21 Devotional:- “Do not remember the former things, Nor consider the things of old.” (v.18) NKJV God, who gives us a memory, want us to use our past experiences to help us make quality decisions in the future, but the past is always the enemy of the future for many. If you don’t know how to manage your memory system of the past, it is capable of standing against your success in the future. As emotional beings, we are sometimes faced with the challenges of memories of our past experiences, our errors and failures. You will observe that at every point of decision-making to progress, the enemy will bring back to your memory the past experiences of your failure. This is just to bring fear to your heart and make you doubt the possibility of your success, so you could lose your joy. The scripture we read today instructs us to let go of the past.

SENSE OF REJECTION

SENSE OF REJECTION

Scripture Reading: 2 Samuel 10:1-11
Devotional:- “When they told David, he sent to meet them, because the men were greatly ashamed. And the king said, "Wait at Jericho until your beards have grown, and then return."” (V. 5)

    There are some factors we have to be very careful about. This is because they are capable of discouraging us. To be discouraged is to be punctured or deflated of courage. To be encouraged is to put on or take up courage. It will therefore be wise to avoid whatever deflates our courage in life, so that we are not hindered of achieving the plan of God for our lives.

One of such courage deflating factor is sense of rejection. The servants of David were humiliated by the people of Ammon. They went for peace mission but they were confronted with rejection. They were so ashamed and discouraged.

Friend, be careful of the rejection mentality. This is simply a mentality of low self-esteem. If people reject you, quickly remind yourself that you belong to a family and a people who accepts you. Don't let this discourage and break you down totally in life. Were you rejected in a relationship proposal; traveling visa; business or career proposal? It is because it is not the perfect will of God for you. Refuse to remain in such depression. Encourage yourself, move on till you find the people that will celebrate you. Peace

PRAYER: Lord, strengthen me to arise till I find my own place
