Some will believe, others will not. Don\u2019t turn rejection into a personal insult, and don\u2019t allow one mocker to drain the energy meant for many. Jesus Himself said when a city refuses you, \u201cshake off the dust of your feet (Matthew 10:14 KJV).\u201d That is not bitterness; it is wisdom. Some people are not looking for light; they are looking for a fight. If you stay there trading words, you will end up sweating, irritated, and unfruitful. Learn to recognise when the door is shut. Keep your spirit clean; don\u2019t let offence turn your witness into strife. Shaking dust is not hating them; it is refusing to be trapped. You can leave a simple seed and return another day when God has dealt with the heart. But don\u2019t camp on one \u2018no\u2019 while ten \u2018yes\u2019 are waiting in your reach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Understand your role in the process. Paul said, \u201cI have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increasev (1 Corinthians 3:6 KJV).\u201d That means you can be faithful and not see instant results in every conversation. The gospel is seed; hearts are soil; and God is the One that makes seed grow. Sometimes you are the first seed a person ever hears; sometimes you are the last push before surrender. Don\u2019t try to play the Holy Ghost by force: salvation is not wrestled out of a man\u2019s will. Your assignment is to present Christ clearly and with love, then let conviction do its work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Rejoice even when you only plant; the kingdom still gained.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Practically, don\u2019t waste the whole conversation on one jester. If the person is openly resisting and only provoking, withdraw with honour and move on. Remember this: no soul is fully won until he is fully established. Dust your shoes from the stubborn, but don\u2019t abandon the receptive; follow up quickly before the seed is stolen. If you must, drop a tract and say, \u201cCall me when you\u2019re ready to talk sincerely.\u201d Then invest your time in the hungry, and keep a simple follow-up plan: call, visit, connect. And keep praying even for the stubborn, but don\u2019t let them stop your assignment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>THOUGHT TO PONDER:<\/strong> Do I waste energy on mockers instead of finding the hungry? Who is one receptive person I must follow up this week until they are established?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote quote-simple is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>PRI\u00c8RE:<\/strong> <strong>Lord, make me wise in witness.
