Do Not Expect Praise from Men

“Do not expect Praise from men”. Many of you would have read many encouragement message this is just my humble version. I hope at least one soul will be blessed by this message.

Today in a world where there are different backgrounds, cultures and tribes- People around the world people tend to behave in a different way, some are soft,casual,rough and some mild. The interesting thing is Gods children behave the same everywhere in the world, Let me call it “Gods culture”. God treats every one the right way except for his enemies. Coming to the topic, today many people in the world are treated differently. For example

1) A boss in a firm won’t treat the lowest paid salary person the same as he treats the highest paid salary in terms of respect. This is what I call as not Gods culture. Let me give you a simpler example,

2) Another true example, a girl goes to a guys website say hi and so on….The guy replies hi cutie and so on…..This time a guy goes to the website an says to the guy hi and so on…The guy replies who the are you? And some time slang words also come along.

What is the problem with the above situation the person has shown partiality. The psychology of Human is complicated. Jesus says who is not of me is against me. Let us be a part of some body by making good relations. When I used to study in school and college days whenever, I asked for help from professor he would bluntly give me a answer “I do not know or why you weren’t there”. Whereas when a girl approaches to ask a question he is more comfortable to answer the question and takes extra mile to help and he is ready to pacify. The Bible says man looks at the face but God looks at the heart. As Gods children we need to be smiling in such similar situation rather than getting stressed off. Because we believe in the eternal life in heaven whereas all man kind does not. Our life on earth may have some profession of work for our living and survival, but our ultimate goal is to serve the Lord. As a result we need to forgive others sin’s for being wrong; this is the right and Christian way. This is the same as when Jesus said on the cross “Father forgive them for they do not know what they are doing”. Let us cheer up and lead a Christian life. Suppose some one hate’s you and does not want to answer you or he does not get your attention just tell him “Thank you”. The bible says “Do not conform to the standards of this world”. The standards of the world are nothing but impurity. Jesus says if a house does not welcome you just shake of the dust of your feet. Let us just shake it off rather than self worry.

In this world people are under oppression (the feeling of being heavily burdened, mentally or physically by troubles) such situations leads them to divorce, misunderstanding, Heart breaking, and many more. The world has always been a threatening place to all man kind because of the devil. But let us be like Jesus he says “Take heart, for I have overcome the world.” So let us overcome the world with humbleness and meekness. The world is looking for talented people and those who seek after the worldly Glory. But we live only for the Glory of the Lord. Therefore do not be broken take courage and hold on to him. After all, in times of trouble, where we believer’s of the Lord should look to him who is our Healer and protector. He will deliver you and restore the things you have longed for and lost in life. Treat one and other with care, love and compassion wherever it might be office, home or outside. Cast your burden unto the Lord for he cares for you.


As we servants of the Lord need to change on the inside which is what God wants in a man and show the world what we are to God. When we look upon God and his desires, men will start looking upon you with respect and honor.This is the same as in the Old Testament Abraham who was father of righteousness anointed by God, in the New Testament even the Jewish people respected him as a great leader and was widely known for many generations. As more we seek God in his righteousness we will be more of him and less of us. This is the true and righteous way every Christian should be living. I conclude this message from a verse from the Bible.

But the fruit of the spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self control.
Galatians 5:22, 23
