ANTHEM -

I MADE A VOW TO MYSELF, I WILL NOT ALLOW MY ISSUES TO SHOUT LOUDER THAN ME

I GOT MORE POWER THAN MY PAIN

1 Samuel 16:10–11 NIV

10 Jesse had seven of his sons pass before Samuel, but Samuel said to him, “The Lord has not chosen these.” 11 So he asked Jesse, “Are these all the sons you have?” “There is still the youngest,” Jesse answered. “He is tending the sheep.” Samuel said, “Send for him; we will not sit down until he arrives.”

JESUS REJECTED

Isaiah 53:3 NIV

3 He was despised and rejected by mankind, a man of suffering, and familiar with pain. Like one from whom people hide their faces he was despised, and we held him in low esteem.

Everyone has to deal with the reality of rejection

Mark 12:10 NIV

10 Haven’t you read this passage of Scripture: “ ‘The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone;

Jesus never lied on anybody

Jesus never did anyone wrong

Jesus never stab anybody in back

THEY STILL REJECTED HIM!!!!

Mark 12:10 NIV

10 Haven’t you read this passage of Scripture: “ ‘The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone;

--------------------------------------------

DEFINITION: Refusal on the part of someone else to accept and appreciate you, for who you are and who you not!

Reject you for who you are

YOU TOO MUCH

Reject you for who you are

NOT EVERYBODY CAN HANDLE YOU

IT IS TIME TO MOVE ON - PEOPLE’S OPINION OF YOU

YOU HAVEN’T SEEN YOUR BEST DAYS AS YET!

PEOPLE AIN’T GOING TO LIKE YOU

THEY DIDN’T LIKE YOU IN THE FIRST PLACE

Reject you for who you not

YOU NOT GOOD ENOUGH

TRYING TO MAKE YOU A LIAR WHEN YOU NOT

TYRING TO MAKE YOU DRINK WHEN YOU NOT A DRINKER

TRYING TO MAKE YOU GO BACK TO THE CLUB WHEN GOD DELIVERED YOU FROM THAT CLUB SPIRIT

“Friends are like elevators. They can take you up or they can take you down.”

HOW DOES INFECTION SHOW UP IN SOMEONE’S LIFE?

SHOWS UP IN THE FORM OF PERSONALITIES

PEOPLE ATTACH DYSFUNCTIONS TO THEIR IDENTITY

Samuel went to Jesse’s house

THERE IS A KING IN YOUR HOUSE

GREATNESS IS IN YOUR HOUSE

THE PEOPLE THAT KNOW YOU THE BEST, VALUE YOU THE LEAST

CAN ANYTHING GOOD COME OUT OF NAZARETH

NOT BECAUSE THEY SEE YOU A LOT, MEANS THEY SEE YOU RIGHT

Eliab

Familiarity

Eliab

Rejected

He got rejected regarding an opportunity he didn’t ask for

Got excited about this opportunityLet down - I would have been better off if you didn’t come to meWhy would God - do thisWhat if it was not a test it was a trainingWhat if I am training EliabTo walk away from things he wantsTo see that everything you see you can’t haveTo see that you are a king without the crown, the crown don’t make me a king, the king makes the crown

Got excited about this opportunity

Let down - I would have been better off if you didn’t come to me

Why would God - do this

What if it was not a test it was a training

What if I am training Eliab

To walk away from things he wants

To see that everything you see you can’t have

To see that you are a king without the crown, the crown don’t make me a king, the king makes the crown

When one door is shut another one is open

The door he shut no man can open

The door he open no man can shut

WHEN THE KING ENTERS

Living in NY, My boss

1 Samuel 16:11 NIV

11 So he asked Jesse, “Are these all the sons you have?” “There is still the youngest,” Jesse answered. “He is tending the sheep.” Samuel said, “Send for him; we will not sit down until he arrives.”

q1

------------------------------------------------------------

We will not sit down until he arrive

You don’t sit when a king walks in

WHEN WHO YOU ADMIRE, LOOK UP TO REJECT YOU

My own daddy didn’t think enough of me to call me

REJECTION HURTS THE MOST WHEN IT COMES FROM POEPLE YOU VALUE THE MOST

-------------------------------------------------------

Oily BUT STILL INJURED

Oily and still injured

YOUR ANOINTING IS NOT YOUR HEALING

Your anointing is not your healing

------------------------------------------------------

ANOINTED AND PROMOTED

nointed and promoted

Shepherd to king

HIS POSITION DOESN’T CHANGE HIS CONDITION

His position doesn’t change his condition

CHANGE IS INEVITABLE BUT PROGRESS IS OPTIONAL

PROGRESS IS PREMEDITATED

You work towards progress

Progress is not accidental

Working for Saul as a musician, Saul love him greatly

David started exceeding his expectation

- twice I ain’t coming back

Saul gave him what Jessie didn’t give him

Even though you trying to kill me

Even though you trying to kill me

I’ll stick with you

Because you made me feel something daddy didn’t

I subject myself to abusive situation

Because you don’t want to be alone and not loved

-----------------------------------------------------------

A blind spot

THE POTTER WANT TO PUT YOU BACK TOGETHER AGAIN

I’VE BEEN TO THE ALTAR FOR THE PAST 3 YEARS

I’VE CRIED OVER THIS ALREADY

Rejection says more about them than it does about me

REJECTION CAN BE A RESULT OF PEOPLE’S VISION AND NOT YOUR VALUE

REJECTION CAN BE A RESULT OF YOUR SUCCESS EXPOSING OTHER PEOPLE’S FAILURE

Dr. John Adolph

“IT’S TIME TO MAKE A MOVE”

-------------------------------------------------------

IF WE ARE GOING TO WALK INTO WHAT GOD HAVE FOR US

THERE MUST BE A DEPARTURE FROM WHAT “WAS” INTO WHAT’S ABOUT TO BECOME

IGNORANT - IS THE LACK OF KNOWLEDGE OR KNOW HOW

STUPIDITY - IS WHEN YOU KNEW BETTER AND DO IT ANYWAY

INSANITY - IS WHEN YOU KEEP DOING THE SAME THING AND EXPECT A DIFFERENT RESULT

PROGRESS IS PREMEDITATED

You work towards progress

Progress is not accidental

UNDERSTAND THE “RIGHT NOW” AND THE “NOT YET”

TEMPORARY INSANITY

IGNORANT - IS THE LACK OF KNOWLEDGE OR KNOW HOW

STUPIDITY - IS WHEN YOU KNEW BETTER AND DO IT ANYWAY

INSANITY - IS WHEN YOU KEEP DOING THE SAME THING AND EXPECT A DIFFERENT RESULT
