Your mockers will only have your attention and waste your time only if you considered their saying or let their critics disturb you. As someone who God love, you should never worry about the mockers because God is on your side. Israelmore Ayivor said, “The dreams you have that may meet mockeries from the lips of negative people will yield the success that will squeeze tears from their eyes later! Dare to resist every negative criticism and persist to make it happen!” If you are not willing to listen to them, then they will be like a tree in the garden that has no fruit. “By their fruit, you will recognize them.”
Never pays attention to these people because they cannot make you stronger at what you do, but just take you astray. They will try to steal your joy and leave you with nothing but bitterness. Don’t let them win over you by giving up hope. Walking through life, it has been observed that to every action of men and everything that happens to man, there are those who appreciate it, there are those who show indifferent attitude, and there are the mockers. The first group of people is there as motivators and encouragement, and likewise, they join us to celebrate our victories as it comes. The second group of people is not concerned with either your failure or success as long as it doesn’t have any impact on them negatively. These two groups mostly support our daily aspirations, and we get up from bed to ensure we don’t let them down. However, the third group comprises men who never sees the good in whatsoever we do. They are always faultfinding, scoffing even deriding the thinnest attempt we desire to make for a greater life.
Sincerely, it has been observed that of the three groups, the impact that the third group has on man seems to always overshadow the impacts of the other groups. It is impossible to do without the three groups, and as such when we know them for who they are, we have the right perspective towards them. The mockers and derides shouldn’t be the reason why you fail to take the next attempt even after failing the first time or at other times. Instead, remember the words of today’s scriptures and keep making an attempt. The blind guy in the scriptures (Mark 10: 47-49) didn’t stop because of advice, he kept crying out till he got his desires met. Can you stop paying attention to the mockers but rather let their mockery spur you into doing more than you have ever attempted to do. “The hearing ear, and the seeing eye, the LORD has made even both of them.” Proverbs 20:12.
Prayer
1. Thank God for the blessings. It is a blessing that we are blessed with so many wonderful things in our lives.
2. Everyone that mocked you in the past and now shall be ashamed of your testimony in the future in Jesus name.
