Don’t Take the Bait; Leaders Rise ABOVE Insults

Pastors: Some saints would rather be spiritually abused than spiritually matured. Don’t take the bait. Teach and Lead by Example.

Some people are used to being disrespected, so they will disrespect you, hoping that you will disrespect them back – just so they can say “he disrespected me.”

Some people are used to being cursed out, so they will curse you out, hoping that you will curse them out – just so they can say “he cursed me out.”

Some people are used to being manipulated and lied to, so they will manipulate and lie to you, hoping that you will manipulate and lie to them – just so they can say “he manipulated and lied to me.”

Some people only know leadership by emotional abuse and manipulation.

They aren’t used to leadership by example, straightforward communication, and discipline.

When they get frustrated they will give you what they used to get, hoping you will give it back. Don’t Retaliate!

Don’t Take the Bait! Be Glorious!

Proverbs 19:11 The discretion of a man deferreth his anger; and it is his glory to pass over a transgression.

Luke 6:28 Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you.

1 Peter 3:9 Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing.

In Marriage, In Ministry, At Work:

DON’T TAKE THE BAIT!

Prove that You are a Child of God!

Rise ABOVE Insults!

Forgive 70×7 everyday!

If refusing to manipulate, control, abuse, or seduce people makes me a weak leader; then I’ll be completely satisfied with being a good & faithful servant. #servantleadership

Manipulators Know How to Suppress the Truth

Manipulators Know How to Suppress the Truth.

  • If you speak too much truth, they say you don’t have enough love, “you’re mean.”
  • If you show too much love, they say you must be fake, weak, or too soft, “not a real leader.”
  • If you calmly explain what you believe, they call you a “know-it-all, stuck-up, and boring.”

I really stopped caring what people thought about me when I realized that a lot of people are very skilled at rebellion and manipulation.

Manipulators will never be satisfied with Godly leadership. They are skillful at rebellion and they know how to suppress the truth for their own benefit.

A spirit of rebellion needs deliverance and healing, not just preaching or teaching.

Healing for the brokenhearted is available in the Kingdom of God. Forgiveness and Deliverance is a must. But rebellion against God’s Word can’t be tolerated.

If rebellious people refuse to humble themselves to be delivered and healed… Just keep pleasing God, keep testifying to His goodness, and represent Him well! Never stop sharing your testimony. Never stop doing, obeying, and speaking the truth in love

Everyone is responsible for their own soul. Those that hear and obey the truth will be saved, and that’s what matters in the end.

If refusing to manipulate, control, abuse, or seduce people makes me a weak leader; then I’ll be completely satisfied with being a good & faithful servant. #servantleadership
