No Party Pooping

  
In life, it is inevitable; we have those people who are supportive and those who are not. This happens in everyday life as well as Christian life. Not everyone is in agreement with one another and the work being done for the Lord. Moreover, it is really something where these people are located. The negative bunch ALWAYS seem to be close by. Whether in your family, on the job or any other space you have, a judgmental/negative person is right there and waiting on an opportune time to remind you of their thoughts about you. Meanwhile, those who admire you, INSIST on doing it from afar. Why is that? We need to work on switching the places of these two groups. Create a "No Party Poopers pass this line, SUPPORTERS ONLY" sign in your mind. (Create an actual sign for your home/work space and watch the reactions lol)



The Word of God says:

Respect everyone, and love your Christian brothers and sisters. 1 Peter 2:17 NLT

Dear brothers and sisters, honor those who are your leaders in the Lord's work. They work hard among you and give you spiritual guidance. Show them great respect and wholehearted love because of their work. And live peacefully with each other. 1 Thessalonians 5:12-13



For where two or three gather together as my followers, I am there among them. Matthew 18:20. It is much more beneficial to come together and have Jesus with us rather than be divided and allow the enemy to have his way. Now this does not mean that you have to agree with everything someone does but if it is truly for the Lord do not come against it. Work done for the Lord is never in vain. See 1 Corinthians 15:58.

In addition, as the supporters began to show themselves more, both the supported and the negative folks will take notice. Hopefully all will grow and be awakened as the supported receive an extra boost of encouragement to continue the journey and the negative folks become aware of the energy they are wasting. At the absolute least, pray for the one whom you do not agree with, that God, not your perfect be fulfilled in that person's life. Negativity is never needed or necessary.
