There is a popular saying that a prophet has no honour in the area of their location and this is true because of the society status. Society tends to put a limitation around so that if you try to move above it then you are accused of blasphemy or evil.
In the Bible we learn about characters who rose above family misunderstanding and achieved tremendous success in the area of their specifications. These bible characters include
1. David
No wonder the Bible talks of God’s kingdom being taken by force, when david declared that he was going to face Goliath of gath everyone was against him, in fact his own brother Eliab accused him of pride, his own people including king saul saw him as incapable because of his age and inexperience
2. Joseph
The scripture records that it is Joseph’s brother who sold him to the merchants after revealing his beautiful dreams to them. Joseph went through alot but in the end he said it was for good so that he, Joseph would preserve them against famine
3. Jephthah
Since he was a child of harlot, his own brothers from another mother conspired against him and sent him away so that he was not to be part of wealth shairing
