Good morning 🔥WOFGM🔥
Let me tell you something that every believer must eventually face.
When you truly start changing your life…
When you start walking away from sin…
When you begin fully aligning your life with Christ…
Some people will stop supporting you.
Some will distance themselves.
Some will criticize you.
Some will flat out reject you.
And listen carefully…
YOU MUST LEARN TO BE OK WITH THAT.
Jesus literally warned us this would happen.
““If the world hates you, remember that it hated me first. The world would love you as one of its own if you belonged to it, but you are no longer part of the world. I chose you to come out of the world, so it hates you.”
John 15:18-19 NLT
Understand something spiritually:
The world has a ruler.
Paul explained this clearly to the church of Ephesus:
“You used to live in sin, just like the rest of the world, obeying the devil—the commander of the powers in the unseen world. He is the spirit at work in the hearts of those who refuse to obey God.”
Ephesians 2:2 NLT
Notice the language.
Commander. Leader. Authority.
So let me ask you something:
Why would people who are comfortable in sin celebrate you leaving sin?
Why would the world applaud you for coming out of it?
It won’t.
And that rejection you feel sometimes?
That pressure?
That discomfort?
That criticism?
That’s not strange.
That’s spiritual resistance.
Because the enemy worked HARD to get you.
And now that you’re walking toward Christ, he wants to make sure you feel:
• Uncomfortable
• Isolated
• Rejected
• Miserable without him
But here’s the truth:
Rejection from the world often confirms that you are walking in the right direction.
So if people stop clapping for you…
Keep walking anyway.
🔥 Choose Christ.
🔥 Choose obedience.
🔥 Choose transformation.
And let the world say whatever it wants.
Because your approval comes from God.
