GOSSIP AND THE CHURCH

Gossiping is not unusual in communities like the market, classroom, salon etc, simply because human beings are the unit of this communities. Something unfortunate happens to a person today and before you know it the whole community is talking about it up to the extent that the person with issue senses that "his or her matter don cast".

But can we avoid gossiping in the church as much as possible. The church is supposed to be a safe place where people come to find spiritual healing. It is unfair that some people would cone with one challenge or the other and the same community of believers that are supposed to help them out would be the same one talking ill about them and destroying their reputation. If your motive is not to help or find solution then there is probably no need for you to share another person's buisness. You might intentionally or unintentionally hear someone issue in your church, whatever the case is, try to keep it to yourself.

If you cannot help them, pray for them in your secret place and if you have refused to pray for them, at least don't gossip about them.

If you have a gossiping problem (some people actually do and it is usually the person you least expect). There is nothing God cannot do, find your deliverance in him.

How many relationships have you lost today because you both decided to wake up one morning and act as if no one existed. How many friendships have been lost because of the refusal to say “hi”, “How are you doing” “longtime” “Congratulations” etc. How many destiny relationships would we have had if we communicated how much we admired a person or a person's gift rather than been a silent fan? How many sisters would we have if we took out a few minutes from our day to know why a person looked unhappy or why they were crying and then encourage them? How many more acquaintances would we have if we did not stop saying hi or good morning because we felt

REJECTION

Rejection is real, it is a deep thing that has eaten into the self esteem of a lot of folks. Although we have different personality types and I have to admit that some people are not moved by Rejection at all but they are some other people who little show of Rejection remains in them and builds up into something that can only be healed by serious therapy sessions of which unfortunately not everyone can afford. Rejection can show up when we get turned down buy our crush after we finally find the courage to ask them out. Fo r the ladies, it might come subtly when the guy you like overlooks you but you see him showing interest to someone else. Rejection can come when you have done every thing possible to fit in with someone/ a group but never felt like you belonged among them. It can come when you think you have finally found a friend that suddenly stops associating with you or a romantic partner who was no longer interested in a relationship with you. Rejection can come when you beli
