In Every forms relationships in your life, you will have to choose which person's opinion matters most, God or Man...
To sum it all up, we can look at adverse relationships that a good number of us can associate with easily.
Firstly, we can start with the outright relationships in the working environment; it is a high probability that a good number of people will maintain a professional status quo which is the norm of our generation but we are called to stand out and not to blend in, right... So stand out.
Take the professionalism and make it into something with passion, Love, sincerity and yet productive and i believe you will have a new era of professionalism that even nay Sayers will have no comments against you either way.
Secondly, We can look into the church environment relationships. Many good things are possible when the children of God come to be in harmony with God and themselves. This relationship is never close to casual cause no casual friends can share there life goals and targets with another unless they believe that achievements does not limit their awareness of God's great attainments in their lives.
so take your relationships in your place of worship and make it a responsibility to love everyone as much as God has revealed his love to you in every areas of your life cause what you think you can do to love God equally is a mirage, you must love what you see around you to balance your desire to love God as much as he showers his love on you.
Thirdly, I am no professional in this aspect of relationship but i believe i might be on the right track. Here is that relationship between opposite sex. The love between a man and a woman is not a relational law that must be fulfilled, it is an appreciated awareness of each other's complimented fulfillment at all times, where one accomplishes the other in that area they seems best at and allow themselves to be fulfilled in the area they lack likewise.
The first step into this relationship is always the weakest but the best times of it but with God on your side as you walk this path, you can variably accept that this wonderful initiated step will be relieved in your thoughts towards each other at every moments as you transcends every difficulties and break every barrier along the way.
Fourthly, here is supposed to be the first of the bunch but it comes here after the third cause the bible reminds us that we will finally have to leave our parents to make way for our own but there must still remain that relationship that must not falter, right?
In a higher regards, these are your parents and they never meant you harm in life even if they have been mean in some times, but everything they laid out for you was always for your good. if they have been aggressive and much more gruesome, it was no faults of their, you must forgive cause they knew no better than what was passed on to them. It is now your responsibility to be a better parent for your kids and ensure such gruesomeness does not pass from you to your grand kids as well. Stay with God in this position and you will always be loved above all, to actually show love. It has been said that we cannot give what we do not have, right, so receive from the BEST and share with your own all the way.
Finally, relationships between siblings are far much more bonding and very perceived to be quite close if not too close. We have always heard the sayings that blood is thicker than water but if i had not in my childhood days witnessed a brother set his other brother on fire while he slept, i would have believed this to be true all the way or read in the scriptures how Cain could casually had killed Abel. This form of relationship is the best form if the Lord has its center in the bond but it could result the worst of opposites if the Lord is not involved at all.
Siblings rivalry has caused a lot of nations today to fall apart into shambles, not because they do not love each other but they actually meant to tell one another how much effect they have come to acquire in the world around and thus innocent lives are shed in the process. In the Kingdom of God, blood brother hood is a good thing if they will put away their differences but if not seek your brethren from those who are willing to stand beside you in the worship and praise of the most high as well as preaching the good news to win more souls to the body of Christ in the entirety of the Gospel. Christ could have chosen to use only his brethren to handle all the apostolic positions but rather he choose strangers who became more than brethren to his cause and today we reap that benefit.
In conclusion, Christ in whom we embody everyday reveals himself through us strong in the best way we might never have thought it through but in his ways, he does and if you are not an active partaker in this relationship, them every other relationship you are working to build in your life is a walking time bomb, getting ready to explode right in our face.
Christ went into the missionary knowing fully what he was meant to accomplish, leaving his home, family and walking those paths of uneasiness and yet he fulfilled in himself the desires to complete the mission registered in his name long before he was born as man but registered in his spirit which did not really change.
So today i ask you a simple question, are you a spirit-man or are you a man? Which ever your response is today determines where your focus lies cause he who lives in his manly suit and dwell in it always, will never be able to take off the suit in reality to see the state of his spirit. if our spirit is rotten and filled with misdemeanor, we might want to hold on to that mask of human suit we wear and never want to reach for the inner self at anytime cause we simply are scared of what we might find in there.
happy New year to you all and may this words find you wholesome, strong and fulfilled in the choice of a new life awaiting you on the other side of this choice you have to make...
