APPs = Applying Positive
Practices
“Apply
the Positive Practice of IGNORE the Haters.”
Sanballat,
Tobiah, Geshem the Arab, and the rest of our enemies (i.e. Haters) found out that I had finished rebuilding the wall
and that no gaps remained—though we had not yet set up the doors in the gates. 2
So Sanballat and Geshem sent a message asking me to meet them at one of
the villages[a] in the plain of Ono. But I realized they
were plotting to harm me,
3 so I replied by sending this message to them: “I am
engaged in a great work, so I can’t come. Why should I stop working to come and
meet with you?” 4Four
times they sent the same message, and each time I gave the same reply. (Nehemiah 6:1-4) NLT
IGNORE the Haters: give no attention or affection to the things or
people who are bound to distract you. (BKLC)
Dr. Rosché says: IGNORE is often used in psychology when
teaching parents how to IGNORE the negative behaviors of their children in
order to change their negative behavior(s).
This same sentiment can be captured in teaching us how to IGNORE
our Haters. Haters, meaning those who try to Distract, Discourage, and Destroy
us through actions and words unintentionally and especially those who do this
intentionally, don’t deserve any of our attention nor affection. In order to begin IGNORing our Haters we
need to practice:
- Resisting the Pull of our natural reaction to respond to their Hatin’.
- It’s often difficult to not give in to our natural reaction to yell, comment, and acknowledge another person’s negative behavior. Ignoring requires you to Not Acknowledge them. Haters have no power unless you acknowledge them (Tinka)
- Recognize that once you first stop being bothered by your Haters, they will escalate
- Most haters are close to us and Know exactly what to say or do in order to get under our skin. So once they realize you are trying to be better or not give in to their attacks, they will go Harder in trying to get you to react. Be like Nehemiah and tell them “I am engaged in a great work, so I can’t come. Why should I stop working to come and meet with you?” -Haters are not important and therefore should not be your Priority.
- Remember to Stay Consistent
- Consistency
in your efforts to IGNORE will over time alleviate you of those
Haters. They will see their
efforts have no effect on you so their time is wasted and they will
flee. Resist the Devil, and He
will Flee!! Nehimiah had to tell
them 4 times before they stopped and you will have to do the same.
Bishop Clark says:
Haters are our elevators to the next level
Indicator that we are on the right track to change
Haters Criticize and publicize our weakness to minimize our success
People hate for one of 4 reasons
B ecause
of who you are
·
They see something in you that they wish they
could be. You are smart, beautiful, determined, positive, loving, caring,
outspoken, confident, overall favored by God.
B
ecause of what you have
·
They see blessings all around you. You are God’s Favorite person to Bless. Thank God for past gifts, present blessings,
and future favor!!
B
ecause of where you are going
·
They see that God is your Father who has ALL and
is helping you be and get MORE! More success, more accomplishments, more
positivity, more favor in the eyes of others…
B
ecause of what you’re doing
·
They see your victory before you can even see it
and they are mad about it. They see that
God is showing you great favor due to the Faith you have shown by your Works.
When they Hate GO HARDER!!!
Go Harder in your success. If you have a successful business, start another
one! If you have a loving relationship,
show more affection to your partner! If you are confident, smile brighter! If
you have one degree, get another degree! If you have a house, get nice furniture and a car too! If you have a story that they know about,
write a book! If you are favored, be more thankful and pleasing to God for More
Favor! Go Hard, and send them Home!!!
I know
it’s WORK and it’s easier to continue to do the same thing
over and over again because you and Drama have become such close
friends over the years, but break yourself from this friend and introduce
yourself to some new friends named Peace, Hope, and Success.
Nobody said it would be easy, but God hasn’t brought you this far to LEAVE
you. Remember to ask for HIS Guidance in beginning this process.
I am here for you too and I’m willing to answer any questions you may have
about what hinders your ability to make progress in this area.
