As a preacher or a man of God you may have received several rejections from the people you preach to. Some people refuse to listen to you because your message is pure as it is in the bible.

Some refuse to listen to you because you are not a popular man of God, or because you are not a “prosperity-preaching” pastor, ignoring your true message of repentance and the kingdom of God.

People mock preachers and call them all sorts of names.

Many do not welcome the preacher into their homes, some won’t even watch a preacher on TV, but would keep sleepless nights to watch an entertainment program!

A preacher’s message is read by many with contempt, some sigh after reading a message put together by a man of God and even sometimes use insulting words on them.

Hear what the word of God says about people who refuse to accept the message of God.

Matthew 10:14-15, “If any house-hold or town refuses to welcome you or listen to your message, shake its dust from your feet as you leave. I tell you the truth, the wicked cities of Sodom and Gomorrah will be better off than such a town on the judgment day.

Remember the story of Sodom & Gomorrah, how the Lord rained down fire and burning sulfur from the sky on Sodom and Gomorrah. He utterly destroyed them, along with the other cities and villages of the plain, wiping out all the people and every bit of vegetation. (Genesis 19:24-25)

Jesus in Matthew 10:14-15 said the punishment for those who refuse the word of God will be more than that of Sodom and Gomorrah. A nation or a people who refuse the message of God will suffer more than the city of Sodom and Gomorrah where everything existing was wiped off!

The individual too who refuses the message is worse off than the individual in Sodom and Gomorrah that was slayed by God.

I pray that God will give you the heart to be obedient to His words in Jesus name.
