Shunned

I saw this dream regarding a worship leader in a Church. In the dream, as he walked in to the Church, many of the men sitting there made faces looking at him as if expressing their dislike or disgust. He quietly took his place and had a sad look on his face. The dream ended there. I happened to speak to this brother in Christ some time later sharing my dream and he told me that many in his Church had that kind of an attitude towards him. Perhaps it was because he differed in his opinions regarding various matters that were discussed among them, he added. I comforted him by telling him that the Lord knew everything about it and that things would change as the days went by.

This is something that many brothers and sisters in Christ experience in their Churches. They are ignored, shunned or overlooked by many who are prominent members or persons in the leadership.
In many Churches there are several factions or groups that ridicule other believers in the same congregation. Some honor believers who are rich overlooking or ignoring the poor.

Paul the Apostle writes to the believers in Corinth regarding factions.

Brothers, I couldn't speak to you as to spiritual, but as to fleshly, as to babes in Christ. I fed you with milk, not with meat; for you weren't yet ready. Indeed, not even now are you ready, for you are still fleshly. For insofar as there is jealousy, strife, and factions among you, aren't you fleshly, and don't you walk in the ways of men? For when one says, "I follow Paul," and another, "I follow Apollos," aren't you fleshly? Who then is Apollos, and who is Paul, but servants through whom you believed; and each as the Lord gave to him? I planted. Apollos watered. But God gave the increase. So then neither he who plants is anything, nor he who waters, but God who gives the increase. (1 Corinthians 3:1-7)

James, the Lord's brother writes,

My brothers, don't hold the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, [the Lord] of glory, with respect of persons. For if a man with a gold ring, in fine clothing, comes into your assembly, and there come in also a poor man in filthy clothing; and you pay special attention to him who wears the fine clothing, and say, "Sit here in a good place;" and you tell the poor man, "Stand there," or "Sit by my footstool;" haven't you shown partiality among yourselves, and become judges with evil thoughts? (James 2:1-4)

Here's an exhortation for all of us from the Apostle Paul,

Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, outcry, and slander, be put away from you, with all malice. And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you. (Ephesians 4:31, 32)
