Matthew 5:11-12(NLT)
11 God blesses you when people mock and persecute you and lie about you and say all sorts of evil things against you because you are my followers.
12 Be happy about it! Be very glad! For a great reward awaits you in heaven. And remember, the ancient prophets were persecuted in the same way.
Matthew 5:16(NLT)
16 In the same way, let your good deeds shine out for all to see, so that everyone will praise your Heavenly Father.
Both scriptures shows us two ways we will be received by others as children of God. You see unacceptable and acceptance. Not everyone is going to like and support you but some will receive you and glorify your Father who is Heaven.
Jesus tells us to rejoice when persecution, mockery and the lies are done and said. For it's an opportunity to be blessed. A double reward. Your Heavenly Father uses it as an opportunity to bless and multiply you. I remember listening to a message from one of the teachers I learn from, He said God is a Strategic Business Man.
Meaning He would not let you go through anything that won't profit you. If you have a storm, this means He has nominated you for that battle and has placed His bets that you would win.
He has strengthened you and knows what you are capable of. An able son and daughter of the most high, a reliable soldier, a prince and princess of Heaven. Remember who your Father is.
Remember He is with you in the fire and in the sleepless midnight hours. You are loved, called and chosen. Be strong and courageous, blessed are you among men and blessed is the fruit of thy womb.
You will accomplish what he says, He is in you, He finds you a delight and great joy, He cheers you on and says He is proud of you, so get up raise your voice and praise Him, for victory and vengeance is His. Just like Job you'll have a harvest twice as much.
So I present to you my brothers and sisters our next instruction, shine! Don't let the outside storm come into your inner being and take root. Keep doing good deeds, don't move or be led by the chaotic rhythm of your environment, the attacks, or the people around you.
Let your soul and spirit be at peace. I pronounce a peace that surpasses understanding to bloom in you, a laughter that breaks all bounds and restlessness, all anxious spirits should cease.
Rest in knowing that God's Spirit lives in you and if your master is calm in your boat, be still and bloom.
Prayer, Dear Father, we love you and thank you that your plans are not to harm us, but to prosper us, to give us a future and a hope. We thank you pulling down all strong holds of the mind and uprooting the seeds and thorns that seeks to choke or stifle your word and promise in our hearts. We receive a new fresh wave if your spirit. We adore who you are, you are Adonai, Jehovah, Yahweh, Elohim, Elshaddai. Non before you and non like you. We love you Lord in Jesus Name Amen.
