Some people will hate you for no reason: However, Be Smart & God-dependent




Image result for people will hate you for no reason:

If you ever think you can please everyone, then you are still in the dream world. Yesterday we talked about failing as a part of success. Today is similar and it is more of living with haters on your success path.

Anyone who pleases everyone or tries to please everyone needs help. It's a sign that you are yet to begin destiny fulfillment. Jesus was perfect yet he was hated for no just reasons. Some hated him because he was from a poor background. Likewise, people will hate you because your parents are poor. People will hate you because you speak the truth. People will always hate you for no reason, so get used to it. Let me share some reasons why I think people hate you:

Because they want to be like you- Some people are just jealous of your achievements. So they hate you for this.

Because you remind them of their failure- You passed an exam while they failed. You got an admission while they are still at home! You got married while they are still single.

They think you do not deserve what you have- Even in the church, some think they are more holy than you. Yet God still shows you mercy. They hate you for this.

Because they cannot get over you- When they think you are down, something beautiful happens again in your life. They just can't get over you, so they hate you.

Because they need to put someone down to feel good about themselves- Some people believe in putting others down before they can go up. So it gives them joy to hurt you and to hate you.

Finally, because they are nothing but losers- Only losers hate! They are permanent losers. Therefore, they hate you for winning.

Now, you cannot just control people hating you because God is taking you to places. You can live above their gimmicks by being smart and God-dependent. You can live above these haters by using these smart keys below

First, be smart enough to identify most of them. So that you will not be living and dining with the devil.
Learn how to understudy people. Read them from their words, actions and more importantly their intentions. No matter how they speak well, their actions and intentions will always open their hatred. Do not give in too much to people. Know your friends and more importantly know your enemies.

Jeff Cooper said "A smart man only believes half of what he hears, a wise man knows which half."

Second, Never Hate a Hater! You can never overcome evil with evil. Never! A quote I like so much by Henry Emerson Fosdick says, "Hating people is like burning down your own house to get rid of a rat". Our famous Martin Luther King Jnr said Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that. Never retaliate or revenge hate with hate. Instead as the scriptures said give your enemies water and you will be heaping coals of fire on their head.

More importantly, be God-dependent. We are very familiar with the story of David the shepherd boy and King Saul. After David helped King Saul to kill Goliath, Saul hated David with passion because David was fast becoming more relevant than him. He plotted several times to kill David. However, even when David had the opportunity to kill Saul, He refused to do that. Instead he was dependent on God for revenge.

God has special ways of retaliating for his children. He does it sweeter than you can imagine. So why planning a revenge tactics? Let God do His thing. Be totally dependent on God. The Bible tells us how much God loves us and that extent He can go to fight for us. So never try to help God. He will fight for you.  Some of us think we are helping God by hurting our haters. No! Instead we are even pushing God away from our side. Job 22:30 KJV says, "He shall deliver the island of the innocent: and it is delivered by the pureness of thine hands. But what happens when you have lost your innocence? What happens when you have stained your hands with revenge? God will no longer deliver you. That is the scripture!

Finally as I round up, keep in mind that people will hate you for no just reason because they hated Jesus. But you can help yourself by being smart (use our smart keys listed above) and God-dependent. I end with a quote from Will Smith:


Throughout life people will make you mad, disrespect you and treat you bad. Let God deal with the things they do, cause hate in your heart will consume you too.

ARE YOU A CARROT, EGG OR COFFEE BEAN?

A young woman told her mother how hard her life was. She didn't know how she was going to make it and wanted to give up. She was tired of fighting and struggling.
