Rejection Brings Promotion
by Fenny West Rejection brings promotion Joseph suffered disdain Hatred and jealousy His brothers conspired To snuff out his dream Put his light out They sold him as a chattel Made money out of him But God preserved him And brought him promotion. Jesus came to His own But they rejected Him He abandoned His glory Came down to man But we turned our backs on him He did no wrong Yet we cried 'Crucify Him Release Barabas to us.' He loved us so much As to die on the cross for us He paid the price for us Taking our sin on Himself So God exalted Him gave Him a Name above all other names.. That's Promotion! David killed Goliath Turned on the light of Israel Made king Saul so joyful But a song turned his heart Made him mad at David Hatred, jealousy, rejection Followed and flowed Against David till Saul died- Falling on his own sword.. David was promoted.. Daniel distinguished himself Had an excellent spirit Would not compromise This brought jealousy Envy, hatred, conspiracy. They plotted to ruin him But God turned it around And used it for promotion.. Stephen was fiery, fervent And the people hated him He told them the truth But they covered their ears And hauled stones at him He prayed for them And was promoted to heaven. John Mark was rejected by Paul But Barnabas gave him a second chance He bounced back and became profitable Going on to write the Book of Mark Paul himself was rejected by the disciples But Barnabas accepted and encouraged him He went on to be the Church's greatest asset Outside of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Saviour. Martin Luther King rebelled Against the false teachings Of his denomination. He boldly posted his 99thesis Sparking outrage, outcry. He was hunted, vilified Hated, excommunicated.

Be bold and strong Rejection is part of the package God the Father was rejected. The God the Son was rejected. God the Spirit was rejected. YOU too will be rejected..
