A hater is someone who is jealous and envious and spends all their time trying to make you look small so they can look tall. They are very negative people to say the least. Nothing is ever good enough! When you make your mark, you will always attract some haters. . . That's why you have to be careful with whom you share your blessings and your dreams with because some folk can't handle seeing you blessed... It's dangerous to be like somebody else... If God wanted you to be like somebody else, He would have given you what He gave them! Right?

You never know what people have gone through to get what they have... The problem I have with haters is that they see my glory, but they don't know my story... If the grass looks greener on the other side of the fence, you can rest assured that the water bill is higher there too!

We've all got some haters among us! Some people envy you because you can:

* Have a relationship with God
* Light up a room when you walk in
* Start your own business
* Tell a man / woman to hit that curb (if he / she isn't about the right thing)
* Raise your children without both parents being in the home
* You are in a great relationship they wish they had (maybe even with that person)
* You are doing better than them career-wise
* You get positive attention from people, possibly even people they wish they got it from
* People speak highly of you
* You are someone they are afraid of so they depise you behind your back
* They admire your talent so much it burns them to know how good you are

* Haters can't stand to see you happy
* Haters will never want to see you succeed
* Haters never want you to get the victory
* Haters will lie to destroy you and discredit anything good about you
* Haters can be your same sex or your opposite sex, it doesn't matter
* Haters are weak, they have to do things behind your back and try to poison or influence those that love you because they don't have the courage or spine to hate on you in your face
* Haters waste time and energy hating when they could be improving their own lives and building it into what they admire about yours

Most of our haters are people who are supposed to be on our side.

How do you handle your undercover haters?

You can handle these haters by:

1. *Knowing who you are and who your true friends are *(VERY IMPORTANT!!)

2. *Having a purpose to your life

3. * Purpose does not mean having a job. You can have a job and still be unfulfilled. A purpose is having a clear sense of what God has called you to be. Your purpose is not defined by what others think about you.

4. *By remembering the BLESSINGS you have are from God and not human manipulation.


Fulfill your dreams! You only have one life to live...when its your time to leave this earth, you "want" to be able to say, "I've lived my life and fulfilled "my" dreams,... Now I'm ready to go HOME! When God gives you favor, you can tell your haters, "Don't look at me...Look at Who is in charge of me..."


Keep your Haters in your daily Prayer ...................BUT most of all don't become a HATER!

true indeed! I think as you mentioned, THE MOST IMPORTANT way to handle others' negativity is to arm yourself against it by having an awesome sense of self and being aware of the subtle triggers sent out by "haters". Sometimes you'll be feeling great and then have a conversation with someone and end up feeling like shit and you can't figure out why!! Try to localize where you let that other person's weird energy infiltrate so that next time, you'll be prepared. Sometimes "haters" are people in our family that we can't exactly get rid of. Sometimes they're our closest friends who are just going through a bad patch. In those cases, being aware of your needs and boundaries has to supercede whatever they're going through.
Self-awareness and self-care need to be at the top of your list of priorities! Put on your teflon suit when dealing with haters and tread carefully!!

Babes, you are so right. We all got some haters among us.


I agree 100% with the following:

* Haters can't stand to see you happy
* Haters will never want to see you succeed
* Haters never want you to get the victory
* Haters will lie to destroy you and discredit anything good about you
* Haters can be your same sex or your opposite sex, it doesn't matter
* Haters are weak, they have to do things behind your back and try to poison or influence those that love you because they don't have the courage or spine to hate on you in your face
* Haters waste time and energy hating when they could be improving their own lives and building it into what they admire about yours

Most of our haters are people who are supposed to be on our side.


How do I handle my undercover haters?

By:

1. *Knowing who I am, and who my true family and friends are; And by not buying into the bullshit that haters have to say. I let them talk, it makes me see how important I am to them.
LOL!!!!!!!! *(VERY IMPORTANT!!)

2.
*Having a purpose to my life

3. * Purpose does not mean having a job. You can have a job and still be unfulfilled. A purpose is having a clear sense of what God has called you to be. Your purpose is not defined by what others think about you.


4. *By remembering the BLESSINGS I have are from God and not human manipulation.

The beauty of what Jesus did for us would never have been without the actions of one of the GREATEST HATERS OF ALL TIME==Judas! {LOL} Judas is in the HATAHZ HALL OF FAME, he's got a star on the HATAHZ WALK OF FAME. What's something though is . . . Jesus, knowing full well of Judas's destiny, didn't love him any less than any of the other Disciples. Think about that. Jesus knew all along what Judas would do--and recruited him anyway. He prayed for him, taught him how to pray, ate with him. Wow! And when the appointed time came Jesus even encouraged him to "do what he must" because He knew that Judas's fleshly lust for power and money was no match for the REAL POWER that HE would display when HE got up on that 3rd day. I always try to remember this when I'm swimming in a pool of haters. I must admit, it's challenging to try to take on Jesus's disposition, but a challenge well worth it in the end. I find that God often allows haters access to me when He's promoting me. There's like this surge of it (sometimes from the most unexpected people and places) just at the dawn of a new season for me. Right at the birthing of something new. It seems like it's a backlash of what I've already attained but in reality it's a scare tactic to keep me from going to a greater height. And you're right, you HAVE to pray for your haters being reminded that your war is not with them but with whatever force is driving his/her actions. Then remind yourself of the word that says greater is He that is in me than he that is within the world.


Feels like a yearbook signing {LOL} but here goes: You're very intelligent Laz. Keep this up and you will go far in life. ---Sheryl D.

I remember making a comment once before about you preaching. What you said then was nothing compared to this one. You literally have said verbatim what both of my pastors have said on a regular basis. Especially re: not wanting someone else's oil, because you don't know the price they paid to get it. Brotha Laz my quetion is when will you be writting a book or doing a speech where you can share your wisdom. Because you have much. You continue to bless me with what you choose to do with your page, and how you choose to encourage people. So in turn, it's my responsibility to encourage you.

Since you were basically preaching the word, I thought I'd leave you with a scripture that corresponds to what you were saying

Romans 12'5-16 Message translation
So since we find ourselves fashioned into all these excellently formed and marvelously functioning parts in Christ's body, let's just go ahead and be what we were made to be, without enviously or pridefully comparing ourselves with each other, or trying to be something we aren't.

6-8If you preach, just preach God's Message, nothing else; if you help, just help, don't take over; if you teach, stick to your teaching; if you give encouraging guidance, be careful that you don't get bossy; if you're put in charge, don't manipulate; if you're called to give aid to people in distress, keep your eyes open and be quick to respond; if you work with the disadvantaged, don't let yourself get irritated with them or depressed by them. Keep a smile on your face.

9-10Love from the center of who you are; don't fake it. Run for dear life from evil; hold on for dear life to good. Be good friends who love deeply; practice playing second fiddle.

11-13Don't burn out; keep yourselves fueled and aflame. Be alert servants of the Master, cheerfully expectant. Don't quit in hard times; pray all the harder. Help needy Christians; be inventive in hospitality.

14-16Bless your enemies; no cursing under your breath. Laugh with your happy friends when they're happy; share tears when they're down. Get along with each other; don't be stuck-up. Make friends with nobodies; don't be the great somebody.

Laz what church you worship at? I know you don't necessarily have to go to a church building persay, to worship and have God live in your heart, any individual is capable of reading the bible on his own, but you must be getting spiritually fed from somebody's church. Great now I am a huger fan of you than I was before.


Stay blessed and highly favored.


P.S.
Remember, Haters add flava to your favor!

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!! How powerful was that?!!!!! I was just reading the other day in the bible about "Haters" (yes, there were even a few back then) in Genesis 37:5-8. Hard to believe that these "Wolves in sheep's clothing may be folks that are close to you.
Like you said, all you can do to shake the hate is pray for them, love them from a distance and keep progressing! haterade is a terrible thing to drink! LOL!

Hey, Laz! How are ya? This is very good. Imma send it on to others if you don't mind. I have some friends in the music industry that deal with this issue constantly-and it is always good to see a christain perspective. I believe that it is always good to confront the issue, but after that-bury it and move on. It is never wise to take on your own defense. God will do that for you.

my love to you!

These are my main three:

* You get positive attention from people, possibly even people they wish they got it from
* People speak highly of you
* You are someone they are afraid of so they despise you behind your back
* They admire your talent so much it burns them to know how good you are

But, as always I always prayer for my enemies as well as my hidden enemies (so-called friends)....keep doing you handsome...shake 'em off!!

That was an AWESOME read, for I too know about Haters and have experienced first hand how they operate!

It is very important to know who YOU are and not worry about who OTHERS will try to make you out to be... no one knows who you are but YOU and GOD. Haters will come at you forever, that is their way of life... But just know, if you are true to yourself, you will ALWAYS outshine the enemy because that is YOUR way of life!

"Don't look at me... Look at Who is in charge of me..." has got to be one of the best sayings I've heard thus far!!

Thanks Laz

Laz , thanks for putting that out there. Especially about how Haters waste their time hating when they can be bettering themselves. It's insane how some people are so insecure about themselves and their own ability that they down another person's God given talents and qualities.. And because they have yet to tap into their own purpose or fear losing what they have they create an enemy in you and try to come between the inevitable for your life. It seems sometimes others are able to see the beauties we possess in ourselves better than we can. I'm not a hater but in all honesty its hard to see when you're blinded by the deception Haters try to create.
For those who want to succeed, put your stunter shades on and keep running (don't walk) towards the light!

Can you PLEASE get out of my lane!! Not that there's much to hate on, but we all have them in one aspect or another. They watch you ever so attentively just to see if you'll fall. But the best thing about it is, they'll be able to see God lift you right on up and get you going again if you do. When they're miserable, they want company. That's why I'm glad I know how to adjust with having folk around me and not. My dreams are too big for darkness.
