I have a principle.
This is my principle:👇
If you come to me and tell me someone said so and so about you, I will have to call the person and you will repeat what they say at their back.
The moment you tell me that you don't want them to know or you don't want to mention the person, I will rebuke you immediately!
I will warn you and give you distance!
It shows you're a LIER! GOSSIP & MANIPULATOR!
IF everyone practice this principle , there won't be space for Gossip or Rumour in your church, home, and office or school. Practice this principle with everyone , you will see the truth.
There are people who manufacture stories and lies ,then cook them , give the story characters and they poison your mind against people .
Instead of you to call the person and find out the truth , you will assume that the one who give you the story must be saying the truth. This is why you hate others unnecessarily, they didn't offend you , but you hate them because of rumour .
Gossipers are everywhere .
They're in your church
They're in your family
They're in your office
They know how to destroy and cook up stories
Some of them won't mention names
They will want you to project certain people
So you will hate those people .
Be wise.
One day, I told a sister , if you can't mention the names of those who say this , then you're lying. Let that story you just talk about PERISH with you. Till date, I never ask about it again!
Don't allow anyone poison your mind against people. Don't destroy your relationship with others because of what someone told you but they are not bold enough to say it in front of them.
You will hear things like
👉"I don't want her to hear o"
👉"I don't want wahala o
If you don't want wahala you won't tell me in the first place. For the fact that you told me , you are already in trouble because you must mention names and repeat all you say .
Today, I no longer experience such stories . Everyone around me knows , they will see trouble and wahala if they ever come to me that they hear THIS or THAT and they don't give names or not ready to confront them and say the truth.
If you also practice this my principle , you will be free from 👇
1️⃣Gossipers
2️⃣Liers
3️⃣Manipulators
They may hate you o
They may distance themselves
But at least you already identify them.
