Welcome Steemchurch Parishioners!
There are certain set of people we should never give a space in our life, they are in form of Dream killers! Hope robbers! Peace thieves! Strife promoters! Distraction manufacturers! These are people that you must identify and secure yourself from, if you want to excel in life and fulfil destiny.
Hear Barbara De Angelis: "You don't develop courage by being happy in your relationships everyday. You develop it by surviving difficult times and challenging adversity." Yes, even from dream haters! People will exercise their opinions and try to discourage you from doing the things that you know that you are capable of in your heart and mind. Do all you can to prove your critics wrong not by trying to Explain to EVERYONE BUT BY YOUR RESULTS!
Receive pleasure in doing the things that people say you cannot do. Prove those that doubt you wrong, use a strong resolve and a massive amount of determination to not only achieve , but to conquer your goals, and the realization of your dreams. Oh, you must catch the word of James De La Vega: "Believe in yourself and stop trying to convince others".
In Act 19: 1-11. Paul was destined to spread the gospel and establish the kingdom of God in the city of Ephesus, but after having great success for three months, things began to change. Some people began to oppose him and question his theology. They were criticising him and calling him names. Some even reminded him of his past and called him hypocrite! WHAT DID HE DO? He separated himself from them? Verse 9 says:
He departed from them and separated the disciples.
If you want to go far in life and ministry and fulfil destiny, you must learn how to separate yourself and the people who believe in you from negative and destructive influence of DESTINY DESTROYERS. Identify them and secure yourself from them. No wonder Sugar Ray Robinson said: "To be a champion you have to believe in yourself when no one else will". I love the words of Solomon in Proverb 14:7:
Go from the presence of a foolish man, when thou perceivest not in him the lips of knowledge.
