What negativity does to you as a missional-worker ….
Here is a strong, engaging Facebook post that fits your voice and ministry tone:
Negativity Will Destroy a Christian If You Let It
The devils of this world want you discouraged.
The enemy wants you distracted.
And yes, even people sometimes want to pull you into their negative space.
Why?
Because negativity weakens your witness.
Satan knows he doesn’t have to destroy you publicly if he can slowly drain you privately.
Negativity is not just a mood. It’s a spiritual battleground.
If you stay in a negative space long enough, here’s what it will take from you:
Your Joy – “The joy of the Lord is your strength.” When joy goes, strength follows.
Your Peace – Anxiety grows where negativity lives.
Your Faith – You begin to doubt what you once believed boldly.
Your Vision – You stop seeing what God can do.
Your Gratitude – You focus on what’s wrong instead of what God has done.
Your Relationships – Negativity pushes people away.
Your Testimony – The world notices a complaining Christian.
Your Energy – It drains you mentally and spiritually.
Your Courage – Fear grows in negative soil.
Your Effectiveness – You cannot shine brightly in a dark mindset.
The enemy would love nothing more than to keep believers offended, critical, discouraged, and weary.
But we are called to something higher.
We are called to:
• Think on things that are true and pure.
• Rejoice always.
• Pray without ceasing.
• Give thanks in everything.
Guard your spirit. Protect your mind.
Choose faith over fear. Choose praise over complaint. Choose light over darkness.
Don’t live in the negative space. You are called to shine.
