BASIC SCRIPTURE: GENESIS 39: 7-23
BULLET 1: Fear of other people’s opinions!
The greatest fear in the world is the opinions of others. And the moment you become unafraid of the crowd, you are no longer a sheep; you become a lion. A great roar arises in your heart, the roar of freedom. Believe in yourself and there will come a day when others will have no choice but to believe in you. Someone else’s opinion of you is NONE of your business! To be frank, we all care to some extent about what others think of us. It’s natural. But when we start to worry excessively about it, it can be a great evil to your health! Always remember this year that
ONE OF THE FASTEST ROUTES TO FAILURE IS TRYING TO PLEASE EVERYONE!
You can’t please everyone!
Do you know that most times, people’s opinion of you is
NEVER GOD’S OPINION OF YOU?
Their judgments are often about them than about you. IT’S A SELFISH WORLD! What really matters is how you see yourself AND HOW GOD SEES YOU! On the final judgment day of the saints, the opinions of others won’t matter! Not even the opinions of your spouse or family! No two persons will be judged together! See Luke 6:26 – “Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you! For so did their fathers to the false prophets.” Did the opinion of Mr. & Mrs. Potiphar and the “magistrate court” affect the destiny of Joseph, even after being accused of being a “suspected rapist” or womaniser? He was sent to prison but the PRISON COULD NOT STOP HIM! So, focus on being true to yourself, stand up for what you believe in, and live your dreams this year because ONLY GOD HAS THE FINAL SAY! Trust God! Please Him daily! You shall not fail! Ask papa Joseph!
