Episode Details

Sometimes the cost of saying YES to GOD is not just spiritual attacks…
It is misunderstanding, gossip, false assumptions, and controversy. In this message, John Giftah shares how Mary faced lifelong controversy after saying yes to GOD’s call — many people would have never believed her miraculous story. She lived with whispers, gossip, and judgments that were completely unfair… yet she stayed faithful. Likewise, when GOD calls you, some people:

• will misunderstand you
• will never accept your story
• will judge what they don’t understand
• will not give you the benefit of the doubt

This is the hidden cost of a divine calling. John also encourages believers to show compassion—not gossip—when we see controversies surrounding Christian leaders. Using the recent situation around Benny Hinn as an example (shared respectfully and prayerfully), he reminds us that we often do not know the pain people are carrying. Instead of adding to the gossip, we are called to pray and respond with maturity. This episode will help you:

• Understand why some callings attract controversy
• Deal with being misunderstood for following GOD
• Respond biblically to controversies in the Body of CHRIST
• Walk boldly in your purpose without fear of others’ opinions

🎧 Be encouraged to follow GOD even when it doesn’t make sense to people. HE sees your heart.
