Dealing with rejection

Are you dealing with rejection? Know that rejection is people's opinion about you and not God's opinion. Rejection affects our personality and we feel abandonned, hopeless, imperfect and unworthy. Rejection is one of the weapons used by Satan to destroy the life of many because a feeling of not fiting in any social group or community will cause us to be what we are not as we try to please others s
o that we can be accepted. Rejection brings emotional wounds that can lead to insecurity, lack of forgiveness, bad self esteem, etc....
God has created us to be loved, accepted and cheriched by Him.
Do you want to overcome rejection? Believe that God wants to take you up even when others have abandonned you. Here are some Bible verses that will help you to set your mind on the things above:

Genesis 28:15 And, behold, I am with thee, and will keep thee....; for I will not leave thee, until I have done that which I have spoken to thee of.

Deuteronomy 31:8 " And the LORD, he it is that doth go before thee; he will be with thee, he will not fail thee, neither forsake thee: fear not, neither be dismayed"

Psalm 27:10 "When my father and my mother forsake me, then the LORD will take me up."

Psalm 37:25 "I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread."

2Corinthians 4:8-10 : "8 We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; 9 Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed; 10 Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body"

Stay blessed!

A Secondhand Faith is Not Genuine Faith

  Sermon:  "A Secondhand Faith is Not Genuine Faith” by Fleury Ndongozi Introduction: Dear friends, today's reflections draw inspiration from the sons of Sceva in Acts 19:13-16.  13  Some Jews who went around driving out evil spirits tried to invoke the name of the Lord Jesus over those who were demon-possessed. They would say, “In the name of the Jesus whom Paul preaches, I command you to come out.”  14  Seven sons of Sceva, a Jewish chief priest, were doing this.  15  One day the evil spirit answered them, “Jesus I know, and Paul I know about, but who are you?”  16  Then the man who had the evil spirit jumped on them and overpowered them all. He gave them such a beating that they ran out of the house naked and bleeding. This narrative reveals the dangers of a secondhand faith, emphasizing that relying solely on external factors, even with a priestly heritage, does not guarantee genuine spiritual security. I. The Sons of Sceva's Background: These young men had

The impact of foreign and online ministries on local churches

Introduction In today's global Christian world, foreign and online ministries are growing and impacting local churches. Drawing from my own experiences with these external ministries, I aim to explore how they influence local churches, the theological implications, and the specific challenges faced by diaspora churches, especially African diaspora, trying to replicate their homeland models in foreign settings. I will discuss the pros and cons from a theological perspective to understand their impact on local church life. Considerations of Foreign Ministries Pros of Foreign Ministries Foreign ministries bring global perspectives and new approaches that can enrich local church practices. Theologically, the concept of the universal body of Christ supports the idea that the Church is not limited to any single culture or place. Philippians 2:4 encourages believers to look beyond their own interests and consider others', suggesting a collaborative relationship between local and forei

When generals fail their soldiers

”And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them. For it is shameful even to speak of those things which are done by them in secret.“ Ephesians‬ ‭5‬:‭11‬-‭12‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ A few years ago, I had the privilege of preaching a message entitled "Don't bury your general alive," emphasizing the importance of supporting and protecting the servants of God.  Today, I'd like to share some thoughts on the reversed event and talk about "When generals fail their soldiers," where I want to address some issues church members can encounter because of the misbehavior of pastors in the church.  The topic of this message might not be popular, but my prayer is that you might know the truth that can set you free These points I want to share are not just theoretical; I have encountered them personally or have served as a counselor to those who have gone through the same issues. It's a topic that weighs heavily on many people's heart, knowin
