The quality of believers that emerge from any ministry depend largely on the kind spiritual training that they are subjected to.

The training of a believer on the part of the man of God depends on his level of growth, his level of understanding and the level of seriousness he gives to the assignment.

My assignment is always to

  1. Help you to encounter the Lord Jesus Christ genuinely and cultivate a functional provable relationship with him.
  2. And it extends to serving truth that is spirit inspired, word compliant, life applicable
  3. Songs of Solomon 2:15

    Foxes here speak of small seemingly insignificant factors that create widespread damage to relationships and destinies.

    Galatians 5:9

    To the degree to which you are connected to strategic men, that is the degree to which destiny will be actualized, and so on time.

    Destiny fulfilment, and destiny advancement is impossible without relationships, associations and connections.

    Relationships are advantageous connections which should be mutually beneficial to all the parties. Relationships are bridges that can help you cross from where you are to an excelling life or decline into a life of failure and defeat.

    Relationships are currencies, they can buy everything money can buy and other things money cannot buy.

    There are many levels of declines that are not exactly caused by sat, they are cause by the inaccurate understanding of the saints and their refusal engage the laws of victory appropriately Isaiah 6:9

    You are as fortunate as the quality of the relationships in your life - that is the men that believe in you, men willing to stand with you, invest their time, credibility and resources to enhance your destiny.

    It is better to have men than to have a job

    Not the number of men, but the quality of relationships

    You make progress in life at the pace of your relationship. The easiest way to succeed/fail in life is through relationships and destiny/wrong connection.

    There are different kinds of relationship:

    Family, profession(career, work), love(marriage, children), mentor(institutions), community(bond between your neighborhood), relationships

    4 levels of relationships in order of priority

    1. Your relationship with God - It should be the highest level of relational engagement that you should be engaged with. If any kind of relationship takes a place higher or nobler than this level relationship there will be consequences in your life. Jesus is the answer to the question of life. There is a space in everyman that only His size can occupy.John 14:6
    2. Your relationship with yourself - Matthew 22:38-39

      Marriage was not designed to solve all your emotional problems, don't expect it to fill up the space that relationship with God and purpose should.

      You are as fortified as the growth of those under you.

      Life rewards givers not takers.

      No one earth is like you

      Reference the teaching: what seekest thou

      There are things you can change and others you may not be able to change - Focus on those you can change.

      You can be secure in yourself, love yourself enough to improve.

      Out of the health of your relationship with yourself will come the relationship with the world around you

    3. Relationship with men - Includes all kinds of men(spouse, children, neighbors, environment, believers in church)

      The health of your relationship with others will always be reflection of your relationship with God and yourself

      Psalm 115:16

      Excelling within the cosmos demands understanding on how to relate with men

    4. Relationship with things

    • Your relationship with God gives you access to wisdom and favour.
    • Wisdom and favour gives you access to men and systems.
    • Your relationship with yourself, gives you the confidence and the security to engage profitably with men.
    • Men will in turn give you access to resources and influence.
    • And finally, you use the resources and influence to serve God, be a blessing and live a successful life.

    What are the little foxes that spoil your relationships

    1. Little foxes that spoil your relationship with God:

      • Ignoring your personal time with God. Do not think morning devotions is for weak believers
      • Not defining clear christian values to live by - blurring the line between being a believer and not 1 Corinthians 15:33
      • Ignoring the cooperate gathering of believers

    2. Little foxes that spoil your relationship with yourself:

      • Low self esteem Matthew 10:35
      • Self hatred Philemon 1:6
      • Laziness Proverbs 20:4
      • Carelessness Hebrews 2:3

    3. Little foxes that spoil your relationship with men Amos 3:3, Proverbs 18:24

      • Rise above competitive jealousy Proverbs 4:30
      • Evil speaking or backbitingProverbs 6:16-19
      • Offence
      • Parasitic practices - always trying to see what you can get in things, you don't give. If you cannot contribute value, contribute honour and gratitude

    4. Your relationship with things

      • Pride 1 Timothy 6:17
      • Placing your bases in things - If you find yourself itching to tell people your achievement, it is low self esteem 1 John 2:15-16 Wealth if not controlled can make great people mad.

Inspiring Quote

Sermon

"One symptom of backsliding is that you begin to look down on the simple things that keep you on fire, calling a devotional 'just milk.' It's not about the information, it's about the consistency."
