There are so many NEGATIVE CROWD everywhere today, even in the church of God, but you can still overcome them if wish by setting up a goal and follow it. Do not be discouraged no matter what you hear or see in life, keep moving and keep on acting on faith.

WAYS TO OVERCOME NEGATIVE CROWD

1. Set a goal for yourself: When you set a goal for yourself, make sure you follow it up with all your strength. Do not allow anyone to distract you. Such a person has no destination. The woman with issues of blood in Matthew 9:20 set a goal to receive her healing. She got it because she refused and rejected every distraction.
2. Make a move: Change your position. For you to get something from God and have God's backup, you MUST stand out from the negative crowd, "come out among them and be you SEPARATE" says the Bible.
3. Do not be discouraged: Don't let their words to pull you down, off from God's will.
4. Do not make your dreams open to the public until you execute them, Nehemiah 2:11-20. Even, you can ask Joseph the son of Jacob his own experiences when he disclosed his dreams to his family members.
5. Always pray to God and apply faith.
