Topic: You’re in Good Company.
Today’s Scripture: “…but Jesus refused to answer.” Luke chapter 23 verse 9, (NLT). New Living Translation.
Message: In scripture, many times people would come against Jesus and criticize Him. Many times it says, “Jesus answered them not a word.” He simply didn’t respond to His critics. He didn’t try to convince them to change their minds. He didn’t get upset because somebody was talking about Him.
No, He just ignored it. When people come against you and they’re jealous, trying to make you look bad, trying to discourage you, remember you’re in good company! Jesus was probably criticized more than anyone else.
I love the fact that He didn’t try to explain Himself. He didn’t try to make everyone understand Him. He just stayed focused on what He was called to do. He simply ran His race. Friend, Jesus set the example for you and me. We don’t have to try to win the approval of others. We have to understand that not everyone is going to understand us.
Our focus should be on following God’s leading and let Him order our steps. The next time someone criticizes you, remember the example of Jesus. Overlook it, don’t get offended, and keep moving forward in the destiny God has for you!
Prayer for Today: Father, today I release every person who has criticized me or tried to discourage me. I choose to forgive them; I choose to turn away from that distraction. I choose to focus on You and the blessings You have in store for me in Jesus’ name. Amen.
Prophetic Declaration: When God gives you a good dream to pursue, devil will bring critics on your way to distract and derail you. Grace not to loose focus is released to you. Following God’s leading, and allow Him to order your steps shall no longer be difficult for you.
Jesus stayed focused on what He was called to do. He simply ran His race. Spiritual maturity to follow good example that Jesus set before us shall be yours. You shall fulfill your destiny in Jesus mighty name. Amen.
JESUS SAID: “Look, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I will give to each person according to what they have done. Revelation chapter 22 verse 12 (NIV). Are you ready for the second coming of Jesus Christ? Please give your life to Jesus.
