Isn't it a "coincidence" that my hometown's counsel, who "coincidentally" made themselves available to her, primarily consists of my enemies. Furthermore, what a "coincidence" that their only advice to my hometown has been to seek to discredit, dishonor, and destroy me; and such to an elder. Yet, my own hometown people, who cast me out for being loyal to God, are upset with me because, likened to Jesus's hometown, they have only received light esteem? While I would have preferred it had they behaved as the city they claim to be; I wouldn't have it any other way now. Everything is manifesting exactly as Jesus foretold. Again, I have nothing to do with games. That aspect is part of the process, whereby God evaluates the city for a reward. I am merely the channel through whom the reward flows.
“So if you are presenting a sacrifice at the altar in the Temple and you suddenly remember that someone has something against you." Matthew 5:23 (NLT)
They could have easily had opted to support the ministry. But, instead, they threw the minister in the gutter and tried to claim the spiritual reward. Spiritual things can not be stolen; that's synonymous with trying to catch the wind. Spiritual things are discerned and earned spiritually, through FAITH and FEAR (i.e. belief and honor).
Don't get it twisted. I love my hometown. My hometown is amazing, she just doesn't know her spiritual worth. Unfortunately, she got caught up, allowing those who don't have her best interest at heart—righteously, to miscounsel her. However, rather than humbly admitting that, she's allowing pride to bring her shame:
And He said unto them, "Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God." Luke 16:15 (KJV)

Like our Godly assignment, sports has a process. God doesn’t do our process for us. Howbeit, when we operate in our process according to His stipulations, we attain a crown at the end. It's a process.
