Deliver me, O LORD, from lying lips, from a deceitful tongue. What shall be given to you, and what more shall be done to you, you deceitful tongue? A warrior's sharp arrows, with glowing coals of the broom tree! Woe to me, that I sojourn in Meshech, that I dwell among the tents of Kedar! Too long have I had my dwelling among those who hate peace. I am for peace, but when I speak, they are for war! (Psalms 120:2-7)
There are seven (7) types of people that you have to pray that God should flush out of your life:
1. Friendly enemies-this type of people hate you, but will never show their hatred and bitterness against you, as far as they continue to milk you empty and receive some freebies and bonuses from you. To them, your kind heart means foolishness.
2. Insecure and jealous friends-they are afraid of who you are and what is in you and what you will become; therefore they will do anything to destroy you before the time. They are afraid that people will discover their emptiness and turn away from them.
3. Parasites and leeches-they attach themselves to your life because of what they are getting from you and in return will never contribute to your happiness. When they see that they can’t get any more of you; they will spit on your face and bid you goodbye.
4. Gossipers and flatterers-they will tell you everything that others said about, but they will never tell of what they said about you to others (they are always there to watch your). Even when you are wrong and straying, they will continue to praise you until you meet your doom, and when this happens; they are the very ones who will mock you.
5. The ungrateful and proud-whatever good you do to them, be ready to receive thousands of blows and spitting as your reward. They see themselves as your superiors; therefore you must carry them on your shoulders and respect them as the King of kings and Lord of lords. After all if you are wise and intelligent, why haven’t you succeeded by now?
6. The incorrigible- they are always right, even if they hurt your feelings and offend you at will, they always demand apology from you. And if you protest, you are labelled as an arrogant idiot.
7. The all-sufficient- these one believe and think that without them, you are nothing in life and will never succeed if they don't help you. They see themselves as your source of living and survival; therefore you must always come to them, bow and worship them as God before you can receive their peanuts.
Pray that God should not only remove these types of people from you, but should flush them away from off you.
