Haters are to make you better in life.

1 Samuel 1: 6-7; Peninnah was that co-wife of Hannah who had children at a time when Hannah was barren. She had results at a time when Hannah had none, and it became her leverage to taunt Hannah. She literally made Hannah see the need to have her own child. She made Hannah uncomfortable in her situation.

Beloved, in your journey to greatness, you need people who will make you uncomfortable in the midst of what is not working. You need people who will make you uncomfortable with mediocrity, uncomfortable with your current level, and uncomfortable with the prolonged absence of certain results in your life; you need people who make you see that all is not well.

You must know that people like Peninnah may sound like haters, but you surely need them sometimes to stir you up to pray. You need them to earnest your spiritual connection with God and unleashed your dormant potentials. You need them to bring out the best in you and to move you forward from where you are to where you need to be.
Beloved, sometimes you need haters to become better in life. May you receive wisdom, understanding and strength as you encounter your Peninnahs to use them as a stepping stone to your next level in Jesus name.
