Ways to follow
Whether you like it or not, someone will always do something against you, both in your presence or absence, even if you’ve done nothing wrong. When such people are caught, first be merciful to them before you give out the right punishment to them (if you have the authority) to make them desist from such acts.
Offences are a part of life. We will all be offended by others at some point, and we will all offend others at some point. It is crucial to know how to handle offences in a biblical way.
In Galatians 6:9, the Bible urges us to continue doing good to people as Christians without growing weary. But why? Because there’s a due season to reap our labour of good works.
If you defend yourself against such an unbelieving person, he cannot understand you because he doesn’t think like you. So, if you shut up, it prevents you from giving him a basis to say evil things about you.
Are you letting what you’re going through or something unfortunate that happened to you to overshadow the joy of God’s presence in your life? Repent, friend.
Don’t be a fault-finding leader of your team. Understand that they are not as competent as you think. Neither do they always know your reason for making some decisions. Give everyone the space to voice out one’s ideas. It fosters great team communication, which is essential for teamwork productivity.
Go for peace rather than arguments; for you were called unto peace in the body of Christ, not to the world.
You might have strong reasons to speak harsh words against those who attack the anointing upon your life to do God’s work in peace. But Assume the place of love and forgive them. Think well of your enemies. Don’t wish them to fall, although they deserve it.
The Word says it is better to suffer for doing good if it’s God’s will rather than doing evil (see 1 Peter 3:17). So, beyond the wailings you’re suffering, commit to following God’s ways.
Child of God, don’t follow what the worldly people say about life. Try this; try that. No! Live by the structures and systems God has helped you to build around you life based on you revelation of God’s Word.
If people keep doing evil things against you, deal with them as Jesus dealt with those evil Israelites and bore the suffering. Just commit yourself to the Righteous Judge, and He will settle the scores for you.
Delay your responses to people’s talks. Have a receiving mindset because that will give you ample time to judge situations carefully, even before speaking out your verdict.
