HOW to HEAL FROM REJECTIONSample

DAY FOUR: FROM REJECTION TO PURPOSE

THE WORD

• Psalm 118:22 – “The stone which the builders rejected has become the chief cornerstone.”
• Matthew 21:42 – “Jesus said to them, ‘Did you never read in the Scriptures: The stone which the builders rejected has become the chief cornerstone; this was the Lord’s doing, and it is marvelous in our eyes?’”
  
  God takes what man rejects and uses it for His greatest purposes. Jesus, the rejected stone, became the cornerstone of salvation. Likewise, the Spirit can transform our rejection into fertile soil for destiny, opportunity, and Kingdom impact. (1 Peter 2:7-9 ) - “Unto you therefore which believe, He is precious; but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders rejected, the same is made the head of the corner… But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.”

The Holy Spirit redeems rejection and guides us toward our divine assignment. Where others see failure or unworthiness, He sees preparation, refinement, and promise. He helps us step into purpose, turning past hurt into testimony and blessing.

Another vital lesson is that every rejection can prepare us for something greater. The Spirit teaches patience, resilience, and obedience as we wait on God’s timing. What once discouraged us can become a powerful instrument for God’s glory, shaping our character and increasing our capacity to fulfil His purpose.

I have faced rejection from people I tried to serve and love. It was painful, but the Spirit revealed that God was redirecting me toward His purpose. What appeared as loss or dismissal was actually preparation for greater work in His Kingdom.

God walked with me through seasons of disappointment, teaching me patience, obedience, and trust. Each rejection became a lesson, each closed door a redirection. Over time, I realised that God was shaping my character and preparing me for opportunities I had never imagined. Today, I rejoice that what once hurt me has now become a testimony of God’s perfect plan.

DECLARATION

My rejection is being transformed into God’s redirection and purpose because He makes all things together for my good.
