What is in your HANDS?

 
Exodus 4:2 "And the LORD said unto him, What is that in thine hand? And he said, A rod.

Many people are unfruitful because they believe they are not qualified to do what God calls them to do! God has given men and women gifts from his great armoury so that God's generosity can flow through you but many people cannot see what they carry because they cannot see
Pharaoh was coming behind and in front of moses and the people was the red sea and moses cried to God.How did God answer? "Moses, what is in your hand?"
For Moses, it was a staff. It wasn't a crown, scepter, or sword. It was a simple stick. And it became one of the greatest supernatural weapons in human history.
 So what do you already have in your possession? Speaking ability? Artistic ability? Money? Friendships? All of us have something we can use to accomplish our part in God's work here on earth as we serve one another.
 God has not created anyone without something that would bring them to their promised land. He (God) doesn’t make mistakes. There is something that God has placed in your hands to make you great. Many times, we don’t attach much value to what’s in our hands. We always think what we have is not worth anything. Instead we focus our attentions on what God has placed in somebody elses’ hands! The fact that someone may be prospering as a nurse or doctor does not mean that’s the only thing to study. We are not satisfied with the very thing God has placed in our own hands!
 There is something in your hands that may appear useless to you but when you believe in yourself and pray,it can bring you into limelight.People are notorious for saying things like: Who knows me? Nobody will take me serious? I only have a high school diploma!
Everything you need to succeed in life is in your hands. 
Most of us have made useless what God gave to us. Friends, even if all you can do is “TALK”, that can bring you into limelight! That thing in your hands that you ignore, that seems useless to you, perhaps a dream, might be the VERY THING that would make you great. Those things (or people) you do not cherish, recognize, or honor may be the key to your breakthrough!!!!!
 It was the same rod that Moses thought was USELESS that he used to provide water for the Israelites and part the red sea! Something in your hands will take you to your next level. What you have in your hands is enough to turn you into what God wants you to be.

Transform your Rejection into Opportunity

 Image result for how to deal with rejection biblically
Everyone encounters rejection in the society.It may hit you as a major blow (such as a spouse’s betrayal or a job loss) or through one of the minor yet hurtful ways that rejection can blow into your life (like negative comments someone makes about you or opportunities that turn into dead ends).
 As painful as rejection can be, it doesn’t have to work against you. Rejection can actually work for you if you use the experience as a springboard of opportunity to create a new season of success in your life.

 Here’s how you can rely on God’s help to transform rejection into opportunity:

Understand how significantly your response to rejection will impact your life.
The way you choose to respond to the rejection you experience will affect your confidence, your passion for living, and your potential for positive relationships. It will also determine which new opportunities God offers you. Responding negatively to rejection can destroy your dreams and discourage you, while responding positively can develop God’s dreams for you and help empower you to achieve them. Decide to redirect the pain of rejection by using it to design a better life and to motivate yourself to move forward into that life.

 Ask God to help you view yourself as He sees you.
Clear away the distorted view of you that rejection may have placed in front of your eyes and pray for a vision of how God sees you. Write down a list of all the wonderful, God-given qualities that make you unique and remind yourself of them when you need to view yourself from God’s perspective.

 Overcome the desire to be perfect.
 Admit to yourself that you’re not perfect and can never be perfect, since you’re a fallible human being like everyone else. Stop trying to be perfect to please God or other people. Remind yourself that, even when others reject you, God will never reject you because He loves you completely and unconditionally. Refuse to listen to unproductive negative words from other people. Instead, renew your mind by reading and meditating on Bible verses that describe God’s love for you and asking the Holy Spirit to bring those verses to mind whenever you need encouragement or need to replace a negative thought with a positive one. Pray for the Spirit’s help changing your internal dialogue throughout each day, so that you tell yourself positive messages rather than negative ones.

 Overcome fears of abandonment.
Ask God to show you how you can rely on Him to help you thrive after other people have rejected you. Keep in mind when dealing with the uncertainty of human relationships that you can always count on God’s constant presence with you and steadfast love for you.

 Eliminate unhealthy relationships and focus on healthy ones.
Honestly consider the value of each of your current relationships. Pray for the wisdom to determine which people in your life right now either are or aren’t worthy of your trust, time, and energy. Ask yourself who influences your life in positive ways, as well as who impacts it in negative ways. Let go of unhealthy relationships and focus only on people with whom you truly have safe and positive relationships. From now on, choose to invest only in relationships in which you can participate in a healthy flow of mutual commitment and contribution.

 Heal from romantic rejection before entering a new romantic relationship.
Don’t rush into a new romance before you’ve had a chance to heal from the pain of being rejected by your former romantic partner. Ask God to help you learn whatever He wants you to learn from your breakup or divorce, and to help you overcome any struggles with insecurity or jealousy.

 Manage rejection from dysfunctional family members
Instead of wasting your time and energy trying to keep the love of a family member who has rejected you, focus on drawing closer to God so you can experience more of His love in your life. Protect yourself from dysfunctional family members by setting up boundaries in your relationships with them.

 Improve the way you communicate.
 Aim to communicate positive words to others in all of your relationships. Learn what you can from criticism, but don’t let it discourage you. Communicate regularly with God through prayer and meditation.

 Let go of the past so you can move forward well.
Don’t hold onto anything damaging or unproductive from your past. Seek God’s healing so you can then: discover healthy relationships, exchange pain for joy, experience freedom from past wounds, and develop and grow to your fullest potential.
