1. General Relationships
The highest realm belongs to God, but the earth has been given to all people. This is a world of men built on human connections, therefore advancement is based on relationships.
Without this mindset, success becomes elusive.
We all need others; it’s not good to be alone. Everything in life advances on relationships. Humans, plants, and animals multiply and flourish through connections.
Without relationships, there is no multiplication, and growth is stunted.
For you to realize and actualize your destiny, you must understand the dynamics of relationships.
General relationships are fundamental for advancement in life. These are the everyday connections we have with friends, family, colleagues, and acquaintances. Whether it’s a friend offering advice, a colleague supporting a project, or a family member providing emotional comfort, these relationships form the backbone of our lives. They significantly impact our lives, providing support, companionship, and sometimes opportunities.
God, being spiritual, works through people. Men and women inhabit this world, and we need them. This revelation can transform your life.
The possessions and opportunities you seek are in the hands of people here on earth. God’s work is to influence people’s hearts to align with his will for your life. Your task is to leverage the wisdom of relationships to connect.
Our role is to be good to all men no matter their outward appearance.
2. Seasonal Relationships
These are temporary connections that come into our lives for a specific period, much like seasonal changes. They exist for a moment or a season.
For instance, a mentor guiding you through a specific project, a teacher influencing you during a particular course, or even a short-lived relationship or friendship that leaves a lasting impact.
Though these relationships may not last forever, they can offer unique perspectives, knowledge, and growth during the time that they are in our lives. The key is to recognize the value they bring so that you can fully benefit from them.
Other examples of these connections may include twin flame relationships and karmic relationships. Once the season of that relationship ends, it will no longer serve you, and you must bravely let go, knowing they have fulfilled their purpose.
3. Destiny Relationships
These are the connections that feel meant to be. The success of your life depends on destiny relationships. The first example is your relationship with God. To walk with God is to advance in life.
It could also include soulmate and divine relationships, spiritual friendships, or mentors who deeply impact our lives. These connections often feel like they align with our purpose or help us grow significantly.
To benefit from destiny relationships, honor, and discernment are needed, as they may come in unexpected forms. For instance, it could be your cleaner, who seems unimportant, or an old woman who seems to be annoying you with all her stories on your way to work.
If you only value and respect people of high status, be prepared for a tough lesson in life. Nothing is as it seems. What’s most important is unseen. It is the heart that matters most of all.
Never cut these people out of your life, no matter how tough it gets, because they have a stake in your destiny.
No matter how unusual, destiny helpers can shape our paths and help us understand ourselves better.
This is a world of men and women, and it operates on relationships. These connections, built with others, are the pathways through which we advance in life. They provide the support, growth, and learning we need to thrive.
Whether it’s the general everyday interactions, the seasonal temporary influences, or the deeply impactful destiny connections, each plays a divine role in shaping our lives.
The Bible instructs us to treat all people well — those we encounter on the streets and everywhere. We must greet them, treat everyone kindly, and show respect to all, from CEOs to cleaners.
We must be good to all men and all women for they have the potential to advance our lives in ways that we may not comprehend in the moment they are in our lives.
Everything in life advances on relationships. Without relationships, there is no multiplication, and growth is stunted.
