When people talk and say all kinds of nasty things in their closet, don’t bother. The more they talk about you, the more God hears them and in return, bless you. So many of them have never seen you. Others have seen you just once in their entire life but because their nature is that of lies and mischief, they manufacture all sorts against you. Some, in the process of trying to win friends, go out of their way to vomit all kinds of lies against you. I used to bother about them, but lately, when I get all their inbox chats and BBM exchanges against me, I just laugh. It hurts, I know. It wasn’t easy when I hadn’t trained myself never to bother about negative comments against me. Now, I enjoy negative comments about me because they energize me to keep moving. One thing about people who are often talked about is that they are great. Even if they weren’t created to be great, they end up great because there is this positive energy they gain from the mouth of their enemies. David was criticized and disrespected by his own people. They tried to push him down, but God pushed him up. Stay on the high road and ignore your critics. God knows exactly how to take care of your critics. Quit letting what they say about you sour your day. Be happy, your day of vindication is coming and they will all bury their faces in shame. Do you know what? God has said that any nation that refuses to bow before you shall be destroyed right before you. You are special. The more success you have, the more the opposition. Not everyone will celebrate the favour of God in your life. They can’t understand why you won’t be on that same level with them. Ask God for the grace to overlook insults. Never spend time being critical of someone who is critical of you. Billy Graham was neglected, criticized and disrespected the first time he went to England, but they later celebrated him. Your coworker is talking to others about you, ignore him and keep working. The fact is that they are doing that because they so much want to be like you and that isn’t happening. Some even want to become very close to you but they can’t humble themselves for that. The only way they think they are going to be fulfilled is by criticizing and telling lies against you. The more they talk, the emptier they get. You are never going to please everyone. Keep your face straight on the goal and keep moving. Love them and be nice to them, but never let their wickedness stop you. You are responsible for your own happiness, not for the happiness of someone else. Ignore them and be sure you have no bitterness against them. Let them call you rude, arrogant…you know that’s not what it is. Joel Osteen told a story about a mayor who was loved by everyone but one man. He was so bothered by this that he started ignoring his office, the people, and his calling just to fight this one man. At the end of the day, he lost his office and then his life. This is what they want to achieve. You can’t see who you are and what you carry but your enemies have seen it and so they just won’t let it happen. If they try to belittle you, Shake them off and keep moving. Your assignment is bigger than those little things. Shake them off and keep moving. Before you leave the house, spray on the pan. Keep the no-stick anointing on. The more they talk, the more God takes you there.
