EXHORTATION

1. GOD CANNOT BE MOCKED
2. Galatians 6 v 7 

NKJV

“Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.

GNB

“Do not deceive yourselves; no one makes a fool of God. You will reap exactly what you plant.”

• GOD DOES NOT LIKE MOCKERY UTTERANCES FROM US

ELISHA Vs. SOME YOUTHS

• Ephesians 4 v 29

NKJV

“Let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth, but what is good for necessary edification, that it may impart grace to the hearers.”

NLT

“Don’t use foul or abusive language. Let everything you say be good and helpful, so that your words will be an encouragement to those who hear them.”

TPT

“And never let ugly or hateful words come from your mouth, but instead let your words become beautiful gifts that encourage others; do this by speaking words of grace to help them.”

MSG

“Watch the way you talk. Let nothing foul or dirty come out of your mouth. Say only what helps, each word a gift.”

v 2 “And he spoke before his brethren and the army of Samaria, and said, “What are these feeble Jews doing? Will they fortify themselves? Will they offer sacrifices? Will they complete it in a day? Will they revive the stones from the heaps of rubbish—stones that are burned?”

v.3 “Now Tobiah the Ammonite was beside him, and he said, “Whatever they build, if even a fox goes up on it, he will break down their stone wall.”

• To distract you.
• To make you loose focus.
• To make you feel worthless.
• To lower your self-worth/self-esteem, self-confidence, self-value etc. but greater is He that is in you, than he that is in the world.
• To make you feel bad about yourself or your work or institution.
• To make you hate yourself  or make you suicidal.
• To make you a reproach.
• To make you give up too soon, because they know if you continue, you will succeed.
• To stop the good things going on in your life.
• For you to leave your chair, so that they can occupy it.
• To make you feel ashamed at yourself.
• To make you stop, what will lead you to success, but don’t listen to them, keep doing your good work.
• To make you start doubting your ability, but you know what? You are competent, there is something in you deposited by God, that is not in another person, you are unique in every way.
• To make you feel that your God is powerless remember Psalm 62 v 11.  “God has spoken once, Twice I have heard this: That power belongs to God.”
