Positive Quote for the Week-Let Your Enemies be Your Motivators
“Don’t get discouraged by the Naysayers and the undercover hata’s. Use them as your motivation to move forward with boldness!” Erica Willis
You are always going to come across people that will hate on you for absolutely no reason at all. You haven’t done anything to warrant their hatred, they just can’t help themselves. The unfortunate part is a lot of your enemies have camouflaged themselves to seem like they are your friends. These are the ones that you really need to be on the lookout for.
Don’t allow naysayers and people that always have an opinion to create doubt in your mind about who you are and Whom you belong to. As Christians, we can’t let what others think about us cause us to remain motionless. This is one of the snares that the enemy uses over and over again. He will plant thoughts in your head to make you think that you aren’t walking in the purpose that God has for you and so you stay stationary.
People that aren’t doing anything with their lives love to make sure that everyone around them aren’t doing anything either. So they will talk behind your back, hinder you from progressing, and they can’t wait to see you fail. Never give any space in your mind for negative attitudes. Instead stand up boldly like you know that you are a son or daughter of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Don’t get discouraged; use their criticism as the fire that will light the flame to your next level. Speak to others about the Lord fearlessly, develop the gifts that God has given you to advance His kingdom, and move forward walking in your purpose. The one thing that the devil would love for you to do is remain stagnant and will do whatever it takes to make sure that you do so, don’t give him that satisfaction!
Scriptures that you can meditate on regarding loving those that don’t show love back:
- John 13:34 “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.”
- John 15:12 “This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.”
- Romans 13:8 “Owe no one anything except to love one another, for he who loves another has fulfilled the law.:
- 1 John 3:11 “For this is the message that you heard from the beginning, that we should love one another.”
- 1 John 4:7 “Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God.”
- Proverbs 10:12 “Hatred stirs up strife, But love covers all sins.”
- Ephesians 4:32 “And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you.”
