Bible Reading: Ephesians 4: 29-32
Memory Verse: Let no corrupt speech proceed out of your mouth, but such as is good for building up as the need may be, that it may give grace to those who hear. Ephesians 4:29 (WEB)
Otuza Sunny once shared on this interesting topic: One mistake you should never make in life, is to allow yourself to be recruited by someone to hate another person who hasn’t wronged you. Hear this: We must avoid taking hasty conclusion because of what others are saying about someone else. The things you say about others, says a lot about you. I can tell a lot about a person by what they choose to see in others. Character assassination is a pervasive and destructive phenomenon that is found everywhere.
It is found in families, places of worship, organizations or work places, etc. Character assassination is the deliberate, malicious, unjustified and sustained effort to damage the reputation or credibility of an individual or group. Character assassination is the slandering of a person or group usually with the intention of destroying public confidence in that person or group. “Character Assassination” is the act of lowering one’s character in a bid to ruin the character of others. There are people that take maximum delight in ruining other’s reputation. These set of people have what I will like to call ‘Destructive Tendencies’.
They oil their own ego by pulling other people down. PhD (Pull Him Down). False allegations are the most chronic form of mental abuse. When people can’t kill your dreams and purpose, they will try to assassinate your character. There are some people that your spirit will always irritate their demons! Once they realize hating isn’t working they start telling and spreading lies about you. People are assassinated once but ‘Character Assassination’ kills daily! Character assassination is a form of emotional violence against others. Someone once said, “A friend of my enemy is my enemy.” One of the things that hinders us from living a fulfilled and inclusive life is bringing past bias and sentiments into present relationships. A friend of your enemy is not necessarily your enemy; it all depends on intentions and contributions. God can use your enemy’s friend to bless you.
Quote: You can’t successfully stay up by pulling others down. #TheLawOfRetributiveJustice
Prophetic Decree: Those trying to pull you down shall see themselves progressively decrease, in Jesus name.
