*KILLERS OF RELATIONSHIPS_theelectedition@340*...

*1. Overdependence*

• Men naturally tend to easily get tired with people who depend on them.

• It isn't everyone who's willing to only sacrifice for others.

• When you meet great people and you want to harvest lasting fruits from such relationships, don't be quick to ask for anything.
- _It is wise to be quick to look for a way in which you can serve them first._

- _|Luke 6:38 TPT| "Give generously and generous gifts will be given back to you, shaken down to make room for more. Abundant gifts will pour out upon you with such an overflowing measure that it will run over the top! The measurement of your generosity becomes the measurement of your return.”_

*2. Wrong expectations*

• When you meet someone for the first time and he/she becomes your friend, avoid building your foundation upon expectations.
_- If those expectations will fail to be met, that relationship will be cold and other factors like fellowship of the brethren will be compromised._

• It is wise to expect nothing from anybody, even if it is someone who seems to be able to help you, and you will hardly be frustrated by people.

• When you give out something to someone, don't expect anything back or to be done good the same way.
- _Transactional relationships don't last and can hurt sometimes._

*3. Lack of purpose & direction*

• Relationships are sustained by purposes and long term goals.

• Challenges will surely come to every relationship but what will make the subject parties to keep going is the common path they are pursuing.

• Friendship based temporary pleasures & money or proximity & excitement will soon or later end but a purpose driven relationship will last.

*4. Dominance*

• Each party in a relationship ought to feel valued and significant.
• Relationships tend to lose grip the moment one party seeks to dominate over the other.

• In a relationship where one person has authority over the other, he/she has to use the authority wisely.

• When you have an idea, you don't enforce it to your friend, subordinate or partner; you give in the form of a suggestion.

- _|2 Corinthians 13:10| "I'm writing this to you now so that when I come I won't have to say another word on the subject. The authority the Master gave me is for putting people together, not taking them apart. ..."(MSB)_

*5. Misunderstanding*

• For a relationship to thrive, whether at home or place of work, there is a need for clarity in communication.

• Every action taken or a word said can be the beginning of a downfall of a relationship if the recipient will not get the right interpretation.

*BUILDING BLOCKS FOR SEXUAL TRAPS_theelectedition@339* ..

*1. Ignorance*

• Knowledge, wisdom and understanding keeps you wherever you go and as you interact with anybody of the opposite gender.

- _|Proverbs 7:4-5| "Say to wisdom, "You are my sister," And call understanding your nearest kin, ...That they may keep you from the immoral woman, From the seductress who flatters with her words." (NKJV)_

✓ You will be able to see pending danger through the eyes of knowledge and avoid it.

• Being wise helps you to keep social boundaries and have healthy relationships with people
✓ This is from how you talk and what you do to where you go.

*2. Compatibility*

• This can happen between you and many other people of the opposite gender you meet (but only one is recommended to be your spouse).
✓ Some people interpret emotional compatibility as 'chemistry'

• It's the biological attraction to the person of the opposite s*x.
✓ It makes you vulnerable if you aren't wise.

- _|Proverbs 7:15 TPT| "You’re the very one I’ve looked for, the one I knew I wanted from the moment I saw you. That’s why I’ve come out here tonight, so I could meet a man just like you."_

• You are safe and you can control it if you realize it when you are outside his/her social inner circle.
✓ It is for this reason that you shouldn't be loose in how you behave because you can find yourself being loose to someone compatible.

*3. 'Kindness'*

• Women interpret it as love while men interpret it as an opportunity.

✓ Kindness provokes the heart of a woman while it provokes the body of a man; but where the heart goes, the body also follows.

✓ The irony is that; mostly, when a man starts being kind to a woman, he is driven by the body and not the heart; whether consciously or unconsciously.

• At this point, you find yourself that you start gifting each other in the name of work colleagues, neighborhood or friends.
✓ There's an unusual sacrificing for each other which comes in but it's bodily attraction disguised as being kind.

- _|Proverbs 7:14| "I've got all the makings for a feast--today I made my offerings, my vows are all paid, ..."(MSB)_

• Some men become kind to women deliberately knowing what they want while some do it without being conscious in their minds of what their bodies are fighting for.

*4. Secrecy*

• This is the point where intimacy has kicked in.
✓ Emotions start gaining momentum.
✓ At this point, even awareness that he/she is someone's spouse cannot help you.

- _|Proverbs 7:19-20| "...for my husband is not home. He's away on a long trip. .... He has taken a wallet full of money with him, and he won't return until later in the month." (NLT)_

*5. Rebellion*

• There is no more sobriety among the victims; academics, values and marriages are compromised at this point.
✓ The mind is already overpowered by emotions.

- _|Proverbs 7:11| "She was loud and rebellious, Her feet would not stay at home." (NKJV)_

• This is the last stage and no advice can save you; only God's miracle can.

• It is after this that a man sleeps with a woman, dumps her.
✓ Most of the time, the woman feels betrayed.

• If decision for marriage was not the basis of the relationship from the start, it turns out into a bitter ending.
✓ Many later find themselves going through hell while on earth because of broken families and raising up children as single parents.

- _|Proverbs 7:27 TPT| "If you’re looking for the road to hell, just go looking for her house!"_

*BALANCED BELIEVERS_theelectedition@338*...

• *They pray for marriage partners but also position themselves rightly in attitudes, actions, words and location.*

✓ Balanced believers gather the right knowledge on how to sustain and manage marriage relationships; they don't foolishly depend on God to run their marriage.

✓ Those who are married don't ignore the right skills needed to make marriage successful.

• *They pray for good health but also don't ignore the observation of the right diet and exercising to keep their bodies fit.*

✓ Balanced believers don't ignore the physicians.

✓ When you pray and sickness persists; remember that going to see the doctor doesn't mean that you don't believe in God for healing.

• *They trust God for prosperity as they work hard to build wealth for their families and generations.*

✓ Sometimes consciousness to deity can pull people to laziness and negligence if they don't watch to live a balanced life.

✓ A balanced believer; together with having spiritual knowledge, goes ahead and deliberately seeks financial literacy.

✓ A one day miracle of bread from heaven in the wilderness cannot sustain your tomorrow; you are expected to work and build wealth in your Canaan - land.

- _Wilderness is a place of transition where God sustains you by His Grace; you ought to discern when that season is over and use wisdom which God has given you to sustain yourself._

• *Balanced believers don't despise education; they embrace earthly knowledge for effectiveness in their earthly life.*

✓ Being gifted without relevant knowledge can pose a great limitation to the far your gift can take you.

✓ Unfortunately, there are believers who have detached themselves from learning anything new because they are 'heavenly minded' and are just 'passers by'.

*FLESH AND THE BODY_theelectedition@337*...

• Flesh just remains flesh but semantically, the body can be termed as flesh.

• Flesh embodies sinful nature while the body is just a vessel.

✓ Flesh is in the soul while the body is physical.

• The body can either serve flesh or not depending on the state of your soul.

✓ A renewed soul (mind) guides the body to serve the will of God and not the flesh.

• While the flesh can be subdued through knowledge, our bodies are tamed by wisdom.

✓ Knowledge of the truth sets us free from flesh but we also need wisdom everyday to control our bodies.

• Your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit but flesh is the rebellious nature of your soul.

✓ Sexual desires naturally come from the body but the thought of doing it in a wrong way and in the wrong context; comes from the flesh.

• The common thing between both flesh and the body is that they can partner together to make you their slave if you don't have knowledge and wisdom.

✓ Fasting can only tame the body by weakening it but it cannot take away fleshly prompting; you need knowledge to ignore (die) to the flesh.

*HOW TO CORRECTLY CRITICIZE_theelectedition@336*...

*1. Examine yourself first*

• When criticizing someone else you should check your attitude towards the subject.

✓ Criticism should be done out of humility and not feeling superior; knowing that sometimes you may not also get everything right.

• Consider the motivation behind your criticism: what is your main goal for criticizing?

✓ The goal or motive of criticism shouldn't be merely to show others how wrong they are but to correct them and give them direction & solution.

*2. Be well informed*

• Don't criticize matters which you have little knowledge or clarity about or else you will be biased.

✓ Before you criticize, make sure that you have gathered enough and right information surrounding the subject matter.

• It is wise to only criticize the areas which you fully understand and have proved to be excellent in them.

*3. Communicate skillfully*

• Your criticism can either be received or rejected depending on how you express yourself.

✓ Means of criticizing is as good as the criticism itself.

✓ You can be meaning well but how you express yourself can spoil your good intentions.

• The best way to criticize, without offending, is to do so in the form of an opinion, a suggestion or a question.

*INTERCESSORS_theelectedition@335*...

• *Continually prays*

✓ An intercessor does not only have a specific time to pray but always pray at any given moment.

✓ Praying is the breath of an intercessor

✓ Intercessors not only pray with their mouth but also pray in their meditations.

_- |Hebrews 7:24-25| "But He, because He continues forever, has an unchangeable priesthood. ...Therefore He is also able to save to the uttermost those who come to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them." (NKJV)_

• *Familiar with others' weaknesses*

✓ You can only intercede for what you have gone through and fully understood its weight.

✓ You cannot intercede rightly for a weakness in someone else if you have never been through the same.

✓ This attribute makes intercessors to be patient with men; they don't easily get offended by their frailties.

- _|Hebrews 4:15| "We don't have a priest who is out of touch with our reality. He's been through weakness and testing, experienced it all--all but the sin." (MSB)_

- _|Hebrews 5:1-2| "Every high priest selected to represent men and women before God and offer sacrifices for their sins ... should be able to deal gently with their failings, since he knows what it's like from his own experience." (MSB)_

• *Secretive*

✓ Intercessors are rarely known in the public because of the nature of responsibility upon them.

✓ They play a very major role in battle against our enemies yet they aren't seen in the forefront because they act as the spies.

✓ Behind the victories which Joshua had against cities in the land of Canaan, are spies who were sent beforehand.

✓ In modern society, we can term intercessors as the CIDs of God's kingdom; they investigate secretively and arrest the criminals secretly.

• *Prays out God's heart*

✓ Intercessors act as an extension of God's desire for men on earth.

✓ God hardly operates on earth without using men and one of the ways is to provoke some men to pray for what he wants to do to men.

✓ Intercessors rarely pray for their own earthly desires.

- _|Romans 8:27| "Now He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God." (NKJV)_

*LEVELS OF GROWTH IN KNOWLEDGE_theelectedition@334*....

1. *Excitement*

• Upon awareness of a certain aspect of life one gets excited.

• There is an excitement that comes with being free because of awareness of the truth.

• There is nobody who isn't happy for being delivered out of prison especially after a long time of imprisonment.

- _|Exodus 15:19-20| "When Pharaoh's horses, chariots, and charioteers rushed into the sea, the LORD brought the water crashing down on them. But the people of Israel had walked through on dry land! ... Then Miriam the prophet, Aaron's sister, took a tambourine and led all the women in rhythm and dance." (NLT)_

2. *Zeal to preach*

• After being knowledgeable one becomes zealous to tell others about the same knowledge.

• The tragedy is that what you are trying to preach to others isn't in full council because you haven't had its experience in fullness.

• There's an urge within you which pushes you to think that others should be knowing what you know and how you knew it.

- _|Exodus 15:21| "And Miriam responded to them, Sing to the Lord, for He has triumphed gloriously and is highly exalted; the horse and his rider He has thrown into the sea." (AMP_ )

3. *Testing*

• When you have known a certain dimension of God's kingdom, it's wise to be silent first and wait for the whole menu because there is yet another alternative side of God which you haven't known.

• This is a level whereby you find yourself in situations where practicality of the same knowledge is demanded and you find that you cannot meet the standard.

• The same God you have known today and excited about is the same God you can forget Him tomorrow and curse when tested.

- _|Exodus 15:22,24| "Moses led Israel from the Red Sea on to the Wilderness of Shur. They traveled for three days through the wilderness without finding any water. ...And the people complained to Moses, "So what are we supposed to drink?"| (MSB)_

4. *Maturity*

• When your knowledge has been tested, then you can dispense in wisdom and fullness of understanding.

• Knowledge is tested so that what is abiding may remain; then you will preach to others in mercy and humility; not out of pride and arrogance.

• A matured knowledge is dispensed at the right time, to the right audience and in the right way.

*PRESSURE IS IMPORTANT; WHY?_theelectedition@333*....

* *Sometimes in life, the very help and comfort you seek is the killer of your purpose and destiny.*

* *The death you die at the peak of life crisis is the life you need; not only for you but for your society.*

* *When you go through shame, don't seek to be clothed because it is through your nakedness that many will be clothed.*

* *There is a time that wisdom is to run away from help because the help you need is hidden in the heap of responsibilities pressuring you.*

• *Pressure makes you unique*

✓ Life challenges and experience gives you a brand when you face them and overcome them.

✓ It is in pressure that you find your identity or life purpose.

✓ Mountains turn out to be geographical reference point; standing out makes you a point of reference to your generation.

*• It makes you visible*

✓ Mountains are made out of pressure beneath the earth and they are visible to those who're near and far.

✓ Pressure makes you tall and visible in a crowded world where everybody is competing for attention.

*• It changes your value*

✓ Before pressure upon the bedrocks, every mountain is just a flat land.

✓ The moment a flat land changes to a mountain, it turns out to be a tourist site.

✓ Life pressure makes you a coat of many colors; it is in the mountain where we find various climatic conditions.

• *Pressure changes your vision*

✓ Pressure upon the rocks beneath makes a flat land to be an exalted place where you can see far.

✓ Some precious ideas which are helping the society today were born out of life pressuring moments.

✓ Pressure is meant to exalt your sight so that you can see life from an angle you never saw before.

*THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD, I SHALL NOT WANT..._theelectedition@332*...

• The Lord orders the steps of his people.

- _|Psalms 37:23| "The steps of the godly are directed by the LORD. He delights in every detail of their lives." (NLT)_

• A shepherd leads the sheep to where he knows that green pastures and water is available.

- _|Psalms 23:2| "He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters." (NKJV)_

• God has already made everything available for you just by the advantage of where you are.

✓ God has already supplied your needs through people who are around you and things which are within your reach no matter how scarce the situation may seem.

- _|Isaiah 43:19| "See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the desert and streams in the wasteland." (NIV)_

• If the Lord is our shepherd and we can lack nothing then it means that most of the things we usually want aren't necessary.

✓ It is either we aren't seeing God's supply because of our ignorance or we are pursuing vanity.
