Jemimah Tolu 'Layo on Isaiah 60:15



"Although you have been forsaken and hated, so that no man went through you, I will make you an eternal excellence, a joy of many generations"  Isaiah 60:15

We all have to deal with rejection at some point in life and boy, does it hurt or what. It can be a very painful experience but through it all, we can choose to be better people rather than bitter. Sometimes people reject you not because they've stopped liking you or you're a bad person but cos they can't accommodate your anointing, they are intimidated by your gifts and frustrated by your spirituality. They make you feel like you don't match up to them when in fact they are afraid of your spiritual power and your anointing is a major threat to them.

The Bible says in 1 John 2:19 "They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us. But they went out, that it might become plain that they all are not of us."

Never be intimidated by man's rejection. The moment you get rejected, God places His hands on you. If folks wanna walk away from you, LET THEM GO! Your destiny is not tied to whoever leaves you. You can be all God wants you to be without them. Trust God and say good bye!!!
Never compromise to keep anyone around, especially spiritually. Anyone you try to keep around through compromise becomes a demi-god and you unconsciously exalt them over God and remember, God is a jealous God. If they leave you for no reason, be sure not to let them back with excuses!
All who have rejected you in the past will be forced to reckon with you someday and recognize who you are in Christ. You will be celebrated where you've been rejected. Like the stone that the builders rejected, God is getting ready to make you the cornerstone.....it's just a matter of time! Heaven is negotiating on your behalf!!
