Previously, I informed you that impatiently GIVING-IN to suffering instead of patiently ENDURING-IN suffering hinders DIVINE DESTINY discovery and fulfilment in Christ in this World. Read write-up (12) of this series for more.
For today, one of the hindrances to DIVINE DESTINY discovery and fulfilment in Christ in this World is humanly NETWORKING with people by SELF leading instead of divinely CONNECTING with people by the SPIRIT of God in this World.
Humanly NETWORKING (associating) with people by SELF leading talks of you using the criteria of man and leading of the HUMAN SPIRIT to chose and associate with people in this World.
Divinely CONNECTING (associating) with people by the SPIRIT of God talks of you using the criteria of God and the leading of the SPIRIT OF GOD to chose and associate with people in this World.
Associating right or rightly matters in discovering and fulfilling DIVINE DESTINY in Christ in this World.
There are people you may not want to NETWORK (associate) with humanly, but they are God human angels, God will CONNECT you divinely with for your DIVINE DESTINY discovery and fulfilment in Christ in this World. Therefore, if you refuse to ASSOCIATE with them because you believe in human NETWORKING with people as the World teaches instead of divinely CONNECTING with people as the Word if God teaches and and led by the Spirit of God within (you, you will hinder your DIVINE DESTINY discovery and fulfilment in Christ in this World. True!
Wise and smart CHILDREN OF GOD in Christ in this World do not depend on human NETWORKING to associate with people especially as regards their DIVINE DESTINY discovery and fulfilment in Christ in this World. They understands that they are meant to love everybody, but not to associate with everybody. They understand the difference between love ALL persons and associate with some persons as God connects par time par need.
Satan has used human NETWORKING mindset of the World to deceive and lead many genuine CHILDREN OF GOD into mistakes and errors in marriage, friendship, partnership, association, membership,etc that is costing them knowingly or unknowingly their DIVINE DESTINY discovery and fulfilment in Christ in this World. True, but so sad!
God did not call you and I His genuine CHILDREN in Christ in this World to associate with people by Self-NETWORKING as the World teaches. Instead we are called to associate with people by the Spirit of God-CONNECTION as the Word of God teaches. (Romans 8:14-16).
Even in marriage, the Bible reveals that what GOD (not man) has JOINED (connected) together, let no MAN put asunder. (Mark 10:6-9). Do you get it?
God desires to CONNECT you and I His genuine CHILDREN in Christ in this World to the RIGHT people par time par our needs, but many cannot respond positively abd promptly to the leading of the Spirit of God within them because they have the mindset of humanly NETWORKING with people using the criteria of the World and self-leading instead of divinely CONNECTING with people using the criteria of the Word of God and leading of the Spirit of God within them.
These genuine CHILDREN OF GOD who are humanly NETWORKING (associating) in this World finds it humanly difficult to discover and fulfil their DIVINE DESTINY (reason of existence) in Christ in this World. True!
However, those genuine CHILDREN OF GOD who are divinely CONNECTING (associating) in this World finds it divinely easy to discover and fulfil their DIVINE DESTINY (reason of existence) in Christ in this World. True!
The Bible reveals that when Saul (Apostle Paul) encountered Jesus Christ on his way to Damascus to persecute Christians, he asked, Lord, what do you want me to DO (a request for DIVINE DESTINY discovery and fulfilment knowledge) and Jesus Christ response to him was to divinely CONNECT him to Ananias, who will tell him what he must do. (Acts 9:1-20).
When God divinely CONNECTS you with a person or people (including a church or workplace) par time, the person or people that He associates you with will certainly in one way or the other contribute divinely and positively to the advantage and advancement of your DIVINE DESTINY discovery and fulfilment in Christ in this World like in the cases of David and Jonathan, Esther and Mordecai, Paul and Barnabas, etc.
But when you, others or Satan humanly or satanically NETWORK you with a person or people (including a church or workplace) par time, the person or people that you, others or Satan associate you with will certainly in one way or the other contribute humanly or satanically to the disadvantage and dis-advancement of your DIVINE DESTINY discovery and fulfilment in Christ in this World like in cases king Jehoshaphat and king Ahaziah, Samson and Delilah and many others recorded in this Bible. (2 Chronicles 20:35-37).
The way evil COMMUNICATIONS corrupt good manners. Likewise, evil (humanly or satanically) NETWORKING corrupt godly matters of your DIVINE DESTINY discovery and fulfilment in Christ in this World. True! (2 Corinthians 15:33).
Today, a lot of genuine CHILDREN OF GOD in Christ have consciously or unconsciously humanly NETWORK themselves very far from their DIVINE DESTINY discovery and fulfilment in Christ in this World. So sad!
Therefore, GOD says to you today, if you are one of them:
Be you not unequally YOKED (network or associate) together with unbelievers: for what FELLOWSHIP has righteousness with unrighteousness? And what COMMUNION has light with darkness?
And what CONCORD has Christ with Belial? Or what PART has he that believes with an infidel?
And what AGREEMENT has the temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the living God; as God has said, I will DWELL in them and WALK in them, I will be their God and they shall be my people.
Therefore, COME OUT from among then and be you SEPARATE, says the Lord and touch not the unclean thing; and I will RECEIVE you,
And will be a FATHER unto you and you shall be my SONS and DAUGHTERS, says the Lord Almighty. (2 Corinthians 6:14-18).
The above counsel is also very RELEVANT to your ASSOCIATION with believers who are not divinely and positively CONTRIBUTING to your DIVINE DESTINY discovery and fulfilment in Christ in this World, but are humanly DISTRACTING you from it.
The counsel is simply, SEPARATE intimately at least for your DIVINE DESTINY (reason of existence) discovery and fulfilment sake.
Let the SPIRIT OF GOD within you divinely CONNECT you par time par your needs. Let Him CONFIRM your associations (with peace) in this World, whether with SAINTS (believers) or with SINNERS (unbelievers). Just ask Him in prayer and wait for His response, whether in marriage, friendship, partnership, membership, etc. It is safe! It is smart!
Don't be in (Self, Other people or Satan-driven) HASTE to ASSOCIATE with anybody for any reason in this World and you will be better, not bitter for it. At least your DIVINE DESTINY discovery and fulfilment in Christ will not be hindered in this World, where there are unnecessary distractions and deceits to contend with to success and satisfaction in Christ. (Isaiah 28:16).
God bless you.
