“HAVE YOU EVER BEEN OR FELT REJECTED?”

Post date: Aug 10, 2017 4:33:48 AM

“Just look at your own calling, believers; not many of you were considered wise according to human standards, not many powerful or influential, not many of high and noble birth. But God has selected for His purpose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise, revealing their ignorance, and God has selected for His purpose the weak things of the world to shame the things which are strong, revealing their frailty. God has selected for His purpose the insignificant base things of the world, and the things that are despised and treated with contempt, even the things that are nothing so that He might reduce to nothing the things that are, so that no one may be able to boast in the presence of God. But it is from Him that you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, revealing His plan of salvation, and righteousness, making us acceptable to God, and sanctification, making us holy and setting us apart for God, and redemption, providing our ransom from the penalty for sin, so then, as it is written in Scripture, He who boasts and glories, let him boast and glory in the Lord.” 1 Corinthians 1:26-31

Being rejected is not enough to prove that you are a failure and it is never your end in life and in the things that God had planned, destined and desired for you. Failure is not also enough proof that you have been rejected and will never be accepted again. Even in that same failure and in that same rejection, you can still be and you are still a useful person in the hands of the Almighty God your creator and redeemer. Failure and rejection have their individual effects but none of them will affect God’s plans for your life is you will accept yourself before God and accept His plans, His will, and His desires for your life. There is no life He cannot change, no circumstance He cannot make good, no situation He cannot fix, no location He cannot reach, no fault He cannot make right and no soul who truly surrender to Him that He cannot and will not rescue, deliver, heal and set on the path of glory again. Your past is past and your future is here for you to accept and embrace with your whole heart. I want you to know and to accept that your future is far better than you past irrespective of what it had been. The God who is alive and active is for you and He is in you to make you His own in all ramifications of life.

The reasons for those rejections and feelings are not enough for God to reject you; men may hold them against you indefinitely but God will not, they may punish you for their knowledge and any other false assumptions they have in their possession or heard from others concerning you, they may reject you with knowledge of their actions or ignorantly, but because God is ever merciful and compassionate, loving and of tender kindness, His words for you will not fail, His plans for you will not be trashed, and His love for you will not cut off. What He said about you before you were conceived in your mother’s womb is what He still desires of you today and that is exactly what He will do in you, through you and with you. Nothing will be taken out from His words and no evil thing will be added to His words concerning you by anyone irrespective of their authority and their location. You are God’s own forever irrespective of the rejection by men or the feelings of rejection or the past failures, through the reconciliation made effective by Jesus Christ on the Cross at Calvary with His blood, you have a renewed hope and assurance that your rejection by men is nothing compared with your acceptance by God through Jesus Christ.

Your only hindrance to quick recovery from any form of rejection, failure, and ill-feelings will be refusing to accept what God has for you, what He planned for you, and what He had destined for you in His wisdom and through His power. God has a plan just for you that will heal your heart and feelings if you will be bold enough to accept it; He has a desired that is powerful enough to cause to force men to change their actions and feelings against you; He had a destiny just for you that had been perfectly prepared in such a way that the rejection of men and the feelings of being rejected cannot hinder. Accept His ways and things will change for you. For Prayers, Click here
