In Slander Part 3: Greatness Attracts Slander, Bishop Omar Thibeaux continues the series on slander and the sin of character assassination.
Teaching from Jasher 31:52–64, Bishop explains that greatness often attracts slander. When God places calling, anointing, favor, excellence, leadership, or purpose on a person’s life, that person may also become a target for criticism, false reports, jealousy, and attacks.
This message encourages believers not to be distracted by slander and not to give every critic their attention. Bishop uses the examples of Joseph, Daniel, and Yahshua Jesus to show that slander does not have to stop purpose. In many cases, what the enemy uses to attack a person becomes the very thing God uses to position them.
Bishop also challenges listeners to learn how to be near greatness without competing with it. When God places greatness in your family, church, workplace, or circle, it may be an invitation to learn, serve, support, and grow.
This sermon is a powerful call to maturity, discernment, humility, love, and focus.
