In service, we were taught that youโre not going to be great in life if you donโt have the right association. Genesis 2:15โ19 shows us that it is not good to pursue vision or do anything in line with purpose without help. Youโre not going to succeed without help, and you can also fail with help. This means that associations can make or mar your life, and in fulfilling your purpose, associations are the pillars for your growth.

1. Environment or location
2. Purpose and assignment โ donโt be in an association that doesnโt positively affect your purpose
3. Your level of growth and knowledge (Luke 2:52) โ your association is largely dependent on your level of growth

1. Gratitude
2. Honesty and sincerity
3. Giving
An important lesson highlighted is that if you are with people who are constantly growing while you are not, access to them will be limited.
It was also emphasised that Christian relationships are not transactional. If you are to keep any kind of relationship going, you must keep communication. And whatsoever you do to keep that relationship must be done consistently. when it is not done consistently, then it does not mean much. If you trivialize relationships, you trivialize motion. You canโt be fully successful without people.

Mentorship is for preparation. The duration you take in certain processes is dependent on whether the relationship between you and your mentor is working and active. Mentorship is different from modeling. Modeling makes you become like the model, while mentorship makes you become a better version of yourself. It was also emphasised that it is not popular that mentors, it is close that mentors. To have a glorious destiny, you need a mentor to guide you.

When looking for a friend, you have to check for unity in faith, the same belief, and the agreement of faith and morality.
Tอhอeอ qอuอaอlอiอtอiอeอsอ oอfอ fอrอiอeอnอdอsอ tอoอ kอeอeอpอ:
1. ๐๐ค๐ค๐ง ๐๐ฃ ๐จ๐ฅ๐๐ง๐๐ฉ: (Matthew 5:3; Proverbs 22:4) โ A friend with the fear of God and humility. Without such friends, riches, honour, and life can be far from you.
2. ๐๐๐๐ / ๐๐๐๐ ๐ฃ๐๐จ๐จ: Humility is as to God, while meekness is as to man. Meekness is how you treat people (Matthew 5:5). One thing that keeps a man meek is understanding that all he has, he got by the mercy of God. A meek person looks at the wellbeing of others first before taking actions. It is also learning or being careful not to hurt other people and being considerate of others. If you are to have influence, you have to be meek and you have to also have meek friends.
3. ๐๐๐ง๐๐๐๐ช๐ก: (Matthew 5:7), The idea of being merciful is doing things for people that they do not deserve. To go far, you need friends that are merciful. Lastly, if you are not merciful, you cannot obtain mercy.
4. ๐๐๐๐๐๐ข๐๐ ๐๐ง๐จ: A man will never leave trouble if his associations are people with anger issues. You canโt be at peace if you donโt have peacemakers as friends (Proverbs 22:24โ25).
Action Point: Check and evaluate your life in light of these qualities. Run your evaluation through five people and get honest feedback. Work on the results you receive.
Finally, the second action point is Prayer.
