those who are lost will be saved back sliders will be reclaimed but oh God we shall all glorify you in Jesus name three ways to avoid criticism that's my subject and I'll deal with that and my closing and second point will be Oh to make the best of criticism because if you cannot avoid being criticized then you must find a way to deal with it in the most cost productive ways the text of first Corinth second Corinthians chapter 10 was read and in this text we see a number of things I will support this first with well the second Corinthians chapter 10 reading with Numbers chapter 16 which I might not read what the entire 35 verses of Numbers chapter 16 are very instructive to all of us as they relate to criticism criticizes and be criticized you will see that criticisms are not exclusively coming to us from external sources but even among our selves the oath of Israel at all levels a preacher's level a prayer warriors level don't you look at me like I'm not talking the truth a preacher's level at prayer warriors level but voices of inspiration level because a fake level group don't talk about goal and voices level teens level kiddies level at all levels from time to at musicians levels am I right minister brain it doesn't matter how small the group is most times you find someone there who has the gift of criticism they are anointed to criticize if they do not criticize they're not fulfilling their mandate what I declare to you that that is not God's mandate but is a devil's mandate you're not saying anything some of you bow your head you're not looking on me because you are deep in criticizing me what I'm going to show you how I deal with you on your criticisms Lord somebody's a healthy of Jesus I will preach this morning until someone you're barely Barney oh yeah you better believe it [Music] so the text of second Corinthians chapter 10 and that of Numbers chapter 16 we correlate as it relates to criticism both texts speak to two of the most outstanding religious leaders of all times both texts one dominates at the Old Testament era and the other dominated the New Testament era BC and AD prophet Moses dominated the Old Testament era and the Apostle Paul he dominated the New Testament era having wrought two thirds of the New Testaments are you with me but when you look at those two men there are not very many similarities to them or no not at all Moses and the Apostle Paul not very many similarities but there are some things with which both of them as spiritual leaders had to contend with and by the grace of God had to deal with them in the most positive way Moses and Paul both men were called to minister in what I consider to be some of the most outstanding supernatural nan-oh astounding maybe because when you think of the case of Moses a man out here in the desert bush on fire but was not soon that was a glorious sight maybe a frightful one also some of us see that we would run away but because God was in the midst of all of it Moses did not run away he drew nigh to see what that site was all about and when he drew now you know what happened God's talk to him Moses Moses draw not now he thought take off your shoes from off your feet for the place where understandest he's on the ground God has a way to call his people some differently from others are you with me that was the way he called and convinced Moses after much dialogue that you're going to he gypped unto Egypt you must go but consider the Apostle Paul he did not saw a bush burned as Moses did Burana stallion horse riding down to the maskers to continue his onslaught on the Christians to persecute to kill to throw in prison a light son from heaven all glory to God and can you imagine maybe it was noonday bright noonday Sun but the light was so all-powerful that it penetrates at the rear of the Sun and he saw it so vividly light from heaven defies the spoke from heaven the supernatural power of overwhelm bought man and beasts because I believe not only the man fell to the ground I believe the Beast also filter ground as my belief and the voice spoke from heaven Saul Saul why persecutest thou me it is hard for you to kill against the prick are you with me so not many very many similarities to the call neither to their ministry Amen different types of ministry to both men because one who dominated the Old Testament Amen under the fifth dispensation that was a law the second under the sixth dispensation which is the dispensation of grace so two different types of ministering but the same God tell your neighbor the same God the reason why when you see God you was people the way he has anointed them to be used you should not compare them with others and so why doesn't he preach like this one or that one no he or she cannot do it like this one or that one except they're going to be impersonating somebody else's style of ministry and hear me well nd there you said so to impersonate other person's style of ministry thus the day the Holy Ghost will say I can use you because I can only use you the way God's anointing upon you I cannot use if you try to be somebody else are you not saying nothing you will do your own thing and get along but I'd rather the Lord anoint me and I look stupid than to be like somebody else and fit the state of scope can you sit help us lower Aylin Oh glory wave your hand and praise him I feel the Holy Ghost the Holy Ghost is beginning to come on me and when he comes his preaching time somebody shout - praise to the Lord show the praise to the Lord glory hallelujah in Jesus glory glory to God hallelujah hallelujah my god somebody help me praise me somebody help me praise him in this house when the glory descend you got to praise him you got to step in when the water gets troubled hallelujah so although these two men are not many similarities to them in terms of your call not many similarities to them in terms of their ministry not many similarities in terms of the period in which they ministered to different dispensation nonetheless both men were persecuted both men were criticized both men were ostracized not necessarily from the people without but from the very people they lead are you with me you'll find that in the text of 2nd Corinthians 10 paulla to stand up strongly to defend this ministry to defend this person because some people look at him and say hey his letters are powerful and weighty and strong but look at him he's weak he looks sick his feeble is frail Paul had to say to them all your peace come on take it easy he said just as I am so I am in spirit I must bald as a lion it's not the size of the gun that matters soup senior soup but is the effects of the bullet tell your neighbor it's not the size of your gun it is the effect of the bullets guns don't kill anybody is that bullet that comes out of the gun that takes life whoa somebody praise God with me so he had to defend himself and see you criticizing folks you think I'm weak and frail and in body take it easy as I having letter saw a Mayan spirits hallelujah to the love give him praise if you love him there hallelujah first ten second greenies chapter 10 for his letters say they are weighty and powerful but his bodily presence is weak and speech contemptible pauses let such an one think this that such as we are in word but in word by letter when we are absent such will we be also indeed when we are presence so we're not just writing to you powerful letters and you read them in our hop says when we are dear sir they are possible we will be equally powerful give God praise if you love him so but both men were criticized in number 16 you will see the group that rose up against Moses what the names of those men were one named Eden another name Coral another name happy Rama or param whatever you call him didn't Korah and a Byram with a lot of noble men within the company noble man strong man leaders people of authority within the assembly gathered against Moses with didn't Corrin a Byram the chief leaders hear me well and they body you find anywhere talking against your leader your posture Europe each of your held your evangelist your Sunday school teacher and try to game and usurp authority and try to bring them down watch them Fox they are not manifesting the right spirit you're not seeing nothing it's all right we're gonna preach this gospel Alleluia if you are with a church with a leader with a group you must be up the same spirit to cannot walk together in unity except that we agreed Jesus says if you are not with me you're against me and if you gather not with me you will scatter somebody says something here hallelujah samosas at a hard time in the congregation like some of us preachers are having our time some of you are more covert than deer in koruna bar I'm in other words you do your thing in secret and you're going like you're another troublemaker but around the corner under the bush you're giving your preachers hell you're giving your fellow members hell you're giving your brothers and sis you are giving them basket to carry water basket carry water dear God hallelujah glory well let's move on they were us the size they were criticize my message dear four points to two things one Oh to avoid criticism anybody want to try that you want to avoid criticism and if you can't avoid it my second point is Oh to make the best of criticism somebody say help was Lord what a good message so the Apostle defended himself Moses said I won't defend myself I'm gonna let God defend me and he looked on all of them folks and said if God first of all he said to the people who gather with the rebel leaders rebel group rebel leaders yeah rebel group Moses said to them first of all separate yourself from this wicked man tell your neighbor if there is any wicked people in church separate yourself from them while you're not telling them there's a bridge to the never tell them if there is any wicked people in church on you nor dam separate yourself from them it doesn't matter what was this on the wall why can't that accompany because when the judgment of God begins to fall you will be caught up in it hey somebody show's over here show something over here am i preaching the book [Music] noises that separate yourself I'm not gonna defend myself like Paul I'm not to feel Lauren I can't even speak Moses said I'm of a stammering lips so I'm gonna let God fight my pocket I'm gonna let God win the kid me I'm gonna let God saw who is on his side read the book you find it in there he said if God visit this man after the natural visitations then God did not send me in other words if normal natural judgment fall on them it could fall on anybody else it is nothing spectacular it is not a supernatural but if God would do a new thing under her believe them take them in Daniel know that God sent me somebody to read a Bible it'll iSeries you give so much trouble in church if you are reading the Bible don't understand that the loving God is also a God of judgment God of justice summer you'd behave yourself in the house of God and I'm talking to you out there all across America the world anywhere you are behave yourself in the house of God mimesis before Moses got through speaking their hat beneath them open up an app for one of them didn't call her a barramundi or colleagues when fast down in the odd the sad thing about is this pains my heart after the manner rubella be of so terrible on prophet Moses declared under God that if God do a new thing and you know he sent me when all of them perished into her guess what ministers the people turn on Moses and start to curse him out are you causing them to die I did not cause them to die their horns and found them out be sure your sin will find you out [Music] so what's the tagline here the tagline is criticism it's synonymous with leadership once you are a leader once you are a child of God criticism is common ground are you not saying anything everybody say common ground hallelujah criticism becomes common ground for people who stand up for that which is right but the wonderful thing is criticism is not always a bad thing Elizabeth II are you with me tell your neighbor criticism is not always a bad thing oh no because you have constructive criticism which is a wonderful thing we're talking about the destructive side of criticism when people just hate you because they hate you you dududu them nothing but that just hate you because you might dress the way that they think they should dress and are not able at this point they're just hate you criticized boy because God uses you in a particular way they think they ought to be the ones used of God like that they criticize you because the Lord blesses you in different ways spiritually materially academically socially you have a wonderful family doing well some people just tear you down and they do not know that the scripture says you must rejoice with them that do rejoice and you must weep with them that door we you must be of the same mind one to another and if you want good seeds to grow in your backyard our front yard you must sow good seed dear god already for the word still stands which said be not deceived God is not mocked for whatsoever and then saw at night Charlie are sorry some of your reaping the whirlwind of the seeds you have soared and now you cannot let the many criticism destructive let you meet you know that others know they're coming back to you and you cannot deal with them they many lies your Paul that you know certain people now they are coming back to haunt you you cannot deal with them Oh God Almighty hallelujah hallelujah Jesus but God wants us to know that he is in our corner regardless of what we're going through are you still with me they're so constructive or destructive criticism positive or negative there are two sides to every coin and fear are always lessons to be learned so let us not just see everything as working against us even though they might appear that way sometimes if you're a child of God you're living for God you're walking in the word when some folks throw terrible things at you amen just just stand still and see the salvation of the Lord give Him praise everybody wave your hands say something there let us be mindful of the fact also that the price of leadership is criticism not just that the word is synonymous with leadership or the price for leadership is criticism the Apostle Paul said you criticize me and I'm gonna show you that in the midst of it I can stand tell you lift your hand and say I shall stand in the name of Jesus I shall stand but let me get to my first points three ways to avoid criticism three ways to avoid criticism very easy and everybody here can avoid it if you choose number one you avoid criticism by saying nothing you want to try it you can try that you are fine being criticized by number one saying nothing number two by doing nothing number three by be nothing so if you don't say nothing if you don't do nothing and if you don't be nothing you'll not be criticized wish first in my audience today can't do any one of those say nothing do nothing be nothing no no oh no the very fact that you're alive Oh glory to God in a dynamic world you are going to say something from time to time you're going to do something from time to time and if you're an ambitious person you are going to be something so immediately you know one thing for sure you cannot avoid being criticized tell your neighbor you cannot avoid it could you see or Gloria somebody praise him if you're getting this and I don't have to spend the next 10 minutes dealing with it you got it already so let me move right on to my second and final point is how to make the bests of criticism because you love to say you love to do it enough to be something and you choose those paths and you'll never be criticized but Oh Gloria you can't walk that road tell your neighbor that's not for me oh no that's not for me so how do you make the best of criticism and I must confess I borrow the words these words I'm going to give to you some of them I borrowed them from the great philosopher Aristotle he says some of the things I'm gonna say about three of them are here's how you can make the best of criticism are you ready number one he says this is his definition well his recommendation brother look at both the critic and the criticism in other words who says what and why look at both the critic the person and look at also the criticism so you're not just going to swallow hook line sinker fisherman and his boots without first analyzing who says what and why they're important I consult with someone yesterday and I had to say dear God I'm gonna use these very words in church today who says what and why because some people that say some things about us don't even think about it because who says what Natas are you not saying nothing somebody comes up on seeing a little junk about you and you know that that person is a person but not a person of any real substance of any real conviction is just a lava lava moat so when a lava lava mouth just love a lava dome period in my mind you know I say nothing so first of all you're looking for the critic is who is that critical criticizes you is it because they're jealous after your husband or your wife is it because that person is not be used of God like you are be use of God is it because a person just cough it's you I want to bring you down who says what's very very important so the first reason a man where to make the best of criticism is number one look at the critic look at the criticism in other words I repeat who says what and why why Minister Peter King says this about Bishop Davies he's a man of statue Bishop Davis must look into it because this could either be a positive criticism that I can learn from are you not saying nothing what if the little man that come here and baptism night and dance and gone like he's his church and take it over from everybody you know I'm talking someone you don't know everybody some night he come on dance over all of the place here I take over the place of everybody if he criticizes me and says some stuff about me you don't waste energy on that so what is the first lesson worker stewards who says what and why very important you must analyze what the critic on the criticizes and learns a lesson from it if you can because criticisms are not always destructive they're also constructive can you say men or a startled whole also says number two understand the difference between constructive and destructive criticism right at a number one so you must know when people are talking in your interest but they say it in a particular way that's the way they can say that's the way then I'll decide but they me you know he'll no hurt no harm learn from that somebody give him praise number three and I finished with Aristotle and get to depth for Davis he said do not just see the critique see also the crowd everybody see the crowd say see the crowd all many people are criticizing you remember what Jesus says Verret are with us a lot so do not just let one or two persons spoil the show do not let one or two individuals amen turn you off do not just see that critic look at the crowd look at those on your lid that's why some of you have not been able to turn me off because if I were looking at you microphone and say oh no I'm wasting time but honey when I look over you I see hundreds of people who are shouting with me rejoicing with me praising God with me supporting what I do oh you two are me preach the truth so I look beyond that one protect and look beyond those two criticize us and I say that are against me somebody price guard in this house Oh Shawn my son dear God Almighty give him my praise if you love him here give it my praise if you love him hallelujah [Music] but the Lord Squire your how your part of our giving you get discourage people who are rejoicing with you talking about [Music] horsemen and warriors the Lord Jesus I just said Elijah listen to gays like Lord I want his eyes to be opened Lord open my servants I see and when the Lord opened his eyes and he looked around Elijah upon himself he said I lost my master we can't let them folks turn us off that are with us so much more than their that are against us lifter Nana said the Lord of Hosts is with me the God of Jacob is my refugee more high with me those who are against me hallelujah so when the devil throws darts at you don't see that one devil are two devils see the mighty army the great cloud of witnesses shake the devil off true soldier if there's one thing I love to do is to prove the devil and his hatred is a liar it's a prove my criticizes a liar it's a proved also want to see me go down the more they want to see me go down is it more I'm gonna climb higher the deeper I dig the ditch is somebody praise them in this house hallelujah [Music] praise him over this corner here [Music] somebody showed something here showed something here I said show something here criticism by not just seeing the one our tool critics see the crowd who Irish arcing with you keep him prettiest against someone let's go to dental for Davis number four all to make the best of criticism number four try to learn the principle yeah because you're applying the Romans 8:28 [Music] [Music] [Music] somebody showed something I will not hate you you somebody you never criticized us so thank God for your criticizes [Music] [Music] right now [Music] [Music] my girl [Music] against me you take the darts [Music] [Music] this one this stronger the better the more knowledgeable as a learner principal Ilana principal you meant it for evil but God meant it for good [Music] sit down please - am article coming up Wow here are feel God in my soul [Music] number five l4 Davis watch your own attitude towards the critic watch your horn attitude are you not saying nothing do not let that critique that criticized are set your agenda watch your horn attitude oh you relate to them you're not saying nothing fine all glory hallelujah Jesus puts it this way do good to them that despitefully use you and persecute you and try to tear you down you see you've got some food do not say yeah you're gonna die from that give them the food watch your own attitude or your deal with the critic because if you're not careful they can let your detour take you off truck you're not saying nothing and when you ought to be seeking God and reaching out to the Lord you are getting even with the criticizes well then give it to Miss America give it back to them tell your neighbor watch your own attitude people to destroy you and you fall for it fall in the trap am i preaching it to anybody fall in the truck don't fall in the truck we're First Lady of the United States of America up until February 25th she says when they go low you go did you get that Michelle Obama said don't fall down in the mud with them when they go low you go high god I feel it [Music] so that's number one number five watch your own attitude towards the critic and Michelle Obama tells me to tell you when they go low you go number five all right six you want me to finish quick all right number six recognize that even Jesus was criticized even thought all that he did everywhere he went was God only good and for the good he did he was criticized look at the life of the prophets of patriarchs and prophets apostles look at their lives every one of them who stood for God but to endure great criticism are you not with me there and Jesus Christ our first and premier example he was severely criticized but he never got law with his critics he says Father forgive them that they do not know what they're doing I'm over look at father they do not know what they are doing forgive them Oh hallelujah so if Jesus was criticized he said to you and I this one is says he said if they have done this in the green tree what shall they do in the dry branches comparing us to the branches he has that tree the true vine if they have criticized me the way they did what you think they're gonna do with you he says children let me tell you straight up in this world you shall have tribulation tribulation but be of good cheer and because I live in you you shall also overcome the world because through me you can do all things somebody praise God I let me close Laura took God I did say glory to God number seven finish how to make the best of criticism you have told you many things so far those from the great philosopher Aristotle and those from this preacher Dell for Davis number seven he says I say concentrate on your mission and correct your mistakes we're talking about criticism that's constructive are he even destructive concentrate on your mission and where you need to correct your mistakes correct them some of you live certain fearless control and when people criticize you that's deserving because to all much is given much is required concentrate on your mission for God and correct your mistakes because some criticizing some criticism I should say our self invited criticism all right coming down what's the old Jamaican say if you lie down with dogs going up on all right we'll go lie down with dogs and get up with fleas jumping all over you and when people look and said Jesus Christ how so much flared up are you you mustn't sleep with dog yes you are sleep with dog [Music] yes you're sleeping with dogs so concentrates on your mission and do what correct your mistake come out and the dog goes come out of the doghouse come on from among them set the word be separate set the Lord birds of a feather do what they flock together if you walk with the fools how will you will be like under light not to a fool but if you walk with the wise kanta that's wise somebody say help us Lord so those self invited criticism when they come don't get even with the criticizes realize that you have shifted course you have changed your mission so concentrate on your mission and correct your mistake tell your neighbor that's a very good one telling no you must touch them until I tell it to touch them touch them very good one Jesus Christ in the mining business business is you give that story to tell and you should know by now the bad news spreads much faster than good news here a report travels faster than [Music] [Music] so the very fact that you cannot avoid criticism gear up yourself to make the best of them in the schoolroom among your fellow teachers gear up yourself to make the best of them the workplace among your co-workers gear up yourself to make the best of them in the church among your own church brethren gear up yourself to make the best of them in the choir among your car is fast clear up yourself to make the best of criticism and where you are Arup yourself Arup yourself tell your neighbor carapace for some are you gonna leave your the stronger believer today some are you leave your the most more informed believer today some are you gonna leave your the more knowledgable believer today some are you're gonna get some venture that you've never had before because you're gonna change your approach to certain people and certain things and you're gonna get some glorious victory [Music] Jesus some pictures are gonna come to some of you that have eluded you for a long time hallelujah to the LA because you were not looking about looking at what the critic on the criticism you were only looking on the critique you are gonna take a different approach God Almighty lift your hands and said my coffees getting ready to run over and over and over and all brittle oh Jesus stand with me let me stop right here anybody got blessed lift up your hands and glorify God come on worship Him glorify the lord god almighty hallelujah hot Oh glory I wanna make two calls right now was to bring it down my first call list of those surprisingly my first call is for the Christians who have not been handling your criticisms very well and today that's why some of you are down discouraged and even weak because of the things that have been said they penetrate you funny that's my first caught you can't believe it when asked my first go because when you strengthen their army when they army strong then you can win the battle you can deploy an army that is strong they'll win the battle but if their army is weak but I got you you have nobody to deploy so those few Christians who have not been handling it very well won't you come down and you do not get messages in their entirety when they are just breached so get a copy of this message and listen to seven points that I gave you or to make the best of all glory
