REJECTED BUT SUCCESSFUL.

The Stone which the builders rejected has become the head of the corner/chief headstone. This is the Lord`s doing and it is marvellous in our eyes/sight.........................Builders are very important people as they are involved in building houses, structures etc. Interestingly, there is no builder of houses and structures that does not make use of stones. Stones of different sizes, shapes and qualities are used based on the type of building or structure that is required. Builders or constructors have the ability to reject a particular stone or the other based on their knowledge and experience in their field of endeavour. Some rejection of some stones may be fair or just while some rejections may be unfair and unjust. We as individuals are like stones when we came into this world. We were innocent, single, naive and subject to buildings by people around us. We were subject to teachers, parents, family members/siblings, tutors etc and they were responsible for the moulding/building of our character. As we grew up and became built gradually, we became to share our ideas, dreams, goals, aspirations and visions with them. Some of those ideas/dreams/goals/aspirations/visions were justly rejected by our builders but most of them were unjustly and unfairly rejected by them. Some people have thrown away their lifetime destiny callings due to the rejection they received from their builders while some people through courage, determination and faith in God have moved ahead to pursue their calling to destiny despite rejection from their builders. God is the one that calls every human being into one thing or the other in life and He is interested in backing up any human being that looks up to Him in absolute faith to fulfill that calling despite rejection from man. He is the authentic builder of ALL THINGS including MAN and He specializes in building rejected stones rejected by their builders to become the chief corner stone or the Head Stone. We have several individuals/personalities that were stones rejected by their builders but they later became chief corner stones by the help of God. Joseph is/was a stone that was rejected by his builders. He got a dream from God and shared it with his brothers and his father also. He was rejected but God made him the chief corner stone. David is/was also a stone that was rejected by his father. His father never thought of him becoming the king over God`s people but God made him the chief corner stone. Daniel was a foreigner in a strange land and he stood/abided by godly principles because he knew that those principles were prerequisites for successful living in that foreign land. He was rejected by some people for standing by and for those principles but God lifted him and he became the chief corner stone. Shedrac, Menshac and Abednego were also young lads in diaspora who loved God uncompromisingly and stood for godly principles, They were rejected by king Nebuchadnezzar and he thought he could terminate their lives but the King of kings rescued them from destruction and promoted them and they became the chief corner stone. Job is/was another personality who was rejected by his darling wife when he was going through trials of faith. The wife who should have stood by him through those trying moments rejected him and told him to curse God and die. She was telling him that his case was closed and that God was powerless to turn his situation around. God rewrote the story of Job, restored all that he lost and gave him a brand new beginning and he became the chief corner stone. In the new testament, our Lord Jesus Christ was also rejected. He was rejected by the teachers of the Law, the scribes and the pharisees. They rejected His message of love, Salvation and redemption of mankind to God. They masterminded Hid death and Crucifixion but God raised Him by the power of the Holy Spirit and He became the Chief Corner Stone. In our contemporary days/history, great people have been victims of rejections at one point or the other in their lives. People like Benson Idahosa, E.A Adeboye, David Oyedepo, George Adegboye, Sam Adeyemi just to mention a few were victims of rejections but by the help of God, they became celebrities/chief corner stones. Benson Idahosa was a pusher of trucks at a point in his life for survival and some people rejected him that he may not amount to anything in life but God made him a celebrity/chief corner stone before he was called to glory. E.A Adeboye never knew the comfort of shoes till he was about 15 years of age or thereabouts and he came from a very poor family to the extent that even poor people called them poor. He was rejected as somebody that could not amount to anything in life by some people but today, through the help of God, he has risen to become a celebrity/chief corner stone. David Oyedepo is/was also a victim of rejection when he started his ministry. He started his ministry with 4 people and as a fanatical preacher of prosperity, he owned 2 suits and a volkswagen beetle car. He was rejected by his close friend publicly that there was no proof of prosperity in his life but today, he is an accredited apostle of prosperity with a world wide ministry with diverse proofs that attests to his calling. George Adegboye always spoke of taking God`s word to all the nations of the earth when as at that time, he was a proud owner of a motor cycle and he never left the boundaries of Ilorin(Quara State, Nigeria). He was mocked, ridiculed and rejected by people as a joker who had nothing meaningful to do with his life but as a today, he has taken God`s word to over 100 nations of the earth. He was a victim of rejection but he became the chief corner stone by God`s help. Sam Adeyemi had always wanted to be successful. When ridiculed by poverty for a long time, he thought travelling out of Nigeria to look for greener pastures will make him successful but at the Nigerian embassy, he was refused visa several times to travel out of Nigeria. He was later told not to come back again because his international passport was stamped NO several times. He was rejected but today, he has become the chief corner stone having been a blessing to several nations of the earth in honour and dignity. Dear reader/friend, you might have been a victim of rejection just as the above-mentioned personalities were rejected at one point or the other in their lives. Hold on to that dream. Hold on to that vision. Trust in God to bring them to reality in the sight of people who rejected you because God specializes in making the rejected to become the Chief Corner Stone. I see you walking in the reality of all your laid down goals. I see you flying on the wings of your dreams and I also see your visions becoming a practical fulfillment in Jesus precious name. Please, remember me when you get to the top because you will surely get there. Shalom!
