This 24th episode on A Step of Faith is titled Facing Opposition. My name is Greg Alabi and I am inviting you to come and let us study the Bible together. Like we have been saying all along, we all need all the support and encouragement that we can get when we want to take a step of faith to start something significant. At such a critical stage, opposition is not something anybody desires. If anything, opposition could be discouraging and slow things down. Opposition is another form of distraction that drains energy. Today, we have another woman of God from London, England, who will be sharing some valuable lessons with us on how to deal with opposition, what to do when facing opposition. Please let us listen and learn. My question is, when faced with opposition, that one is a difficult one because I'm not sure that I do handle that very well. In fact, in the last few days, I have been faced with something similar. At first, I didn't say anything. Usually, I don't answer straight back because I can't see the purpose of an open confrontation between two adults when there are other issues that I'm not aware of. So what I did was send a message to the person to say I was feeling very unhappy about the way they were confronting or speaking to me in public. They didn't respond for a few days. Then I messaged them again and said, I sent a message to you, please can I get a response? I made it a voice note. I called them on the phone. There was still no response. So I tried to push the subject the next time that I had an opportunity to do so. And then I realized that they were not even going to acknowledge what was going on. At my end, I was feeling. So I told them I had come to a decision that I was going to step back from that way of relating or that relationship. And because this was something to do with work, I suggested that we have a middle man, somebody who understands the way they deal, that would report to me and I would instruct them on the next steps of what to do. This was a business situation, but that's how I dealt with it. I cried a little bit at night in my own way. I complained to God about it. They came back and said, oh, they acknowledge that they've been difficult. But I found that they couldn't say sorry. And what I've learned is you can't make anybody say sorry for anything. So you just have to do the most grateful thing and find a way to live in peace. I wanted to make sure that when next I saw them, wow, that is rich, that is deep. She mentioned some valuable lessons here. She said when faced with opposition, try and meet with these people to have a civil conversation. Let them know how you feel and how they come across. She also said we should not answer straight back. She said we should be open or rather open a line of communication in a civil way. She suggested we involve intermediaries, a middle man. She also said when people oppose you, do not expect them to say sorry. We should rise above it and not expect any apology for their actions. She said we should pray about it, take it to the Lord in prayer, even if it makes us weep. She suggested that we should find ways to live in peace with people. Very rich, very deep. Thank you very much. I hope we have learned some valuable lessons from her. The Bible chapter 15 verse 22 in the New Living Translation says, plans go wrong for lack of advice, but many advisors bring success. Dear friends, please continue to send in your contributions and your advice on these subjects. What to do when faced with opposition or when you are working with lazy people. Now, our problem is that some people's comments are too long, beyond five minutes, and can't fit into this duration. Therefore, make your comments just five, or rather three minutes long, or multiples of three minutes. We invite you to also please visit our website, gregalabee.com. Look for the podcasts. Listen and share with family. We want to pray right now. Let's pray. Father, thank you for the lessons we are learning. Opposition could drain. That's not the way we want to go. Give us wisdom on what to do in Jesus' name. Amen. God bless you.
