1 Corinthians 2:14 The Soulish man has no capacity to comprehend the language of the Spirit of God; spiritual things seem meaningless to him; he is incapable to discern that which can only be spiritually appreciated. (TMB)

Have you stopped sharing God because of rejection?

Do you sometimes talk to someone about God, Who He is, what He has done and continues to do for the world, and specifically what He has done in your life? Do you share the godly choices you’re making because of Him? Do you find they look at you as if you’re crazy? What do you do? Do you stop and ask yourself, “why are they looking at me with that strange expression on their face”? Or do you keep sharing? Please keep in mind, if they don’t know Christ, they have no way of comprehending what you’re talking about. Often they cannot or do not celebrate with you because they can only receive your word if they have a soft heart and/or have had a spiritual encounter with the Lord. Otherwise, they are not there. This is not a character assessment; it is spiritual. Don’t stop sharing.

1 Corinthians 3:7-9 So neither is the one who plants nor the one who waters anything, but [only] God who causes the growth. 8 He who plants and he who waters are one [in importance and esteem, working toward the same purpose]; but each will receive his own reward according to his own labor. 9 For we are God’s fellow workers [His servants working together]; you are God’s cultivated field [His garden, His vineyard], God’s building. (AMP)

If someone is open to listen, continue to share. You never know if what you are saying will plant, water, or fertilize. You don’t know where they are in the process. God does. Take advantage of every opportunity to testify about who God is and what He has done in your life. Be mindful not to be antagonistic when you interact. However, if they’re willing to listen, share. This is a big test in your process. Rejection is not an easy thing to snap back from. Don’t allow the enemy to whisper in your ears, keep sharing. God can and will keep you. Always remember, your testimony is drawing them. Then God will save them.

Please agree with me as I pray. Then ask the Lord what your prayer should be and wait for His response:

Father, I thank You for every opportunity to lift You up, to share the gospel, to talk about who You are and what You’ve done. I understand the one I am witnessing to often will not readily express belief and celebrate the information I provide. You encourage me by telling me one plants, one waters, and You give the increase. You are the One who draws and Who saves. I will continue to share. I know I don’t have the big picture. I know I don’t know what path a person is on. You know. Please forgive me for not taking advantage of the opportunities You present before me. I don’t want to miss any more of them because of being moved by what I see or don’t see or what I hear or don’t hear. Your word says if You be lifted, You’ll draw. I will not be discouraged, and I won’t give up if I don’t get the response I am looking for. I will continue to yield myself to You. Please use me wherever, however, and with whomever You choose. Here am I; send me…
