DID GOD MAKE RELATIONSHIPS?

Post date: Sep 13, 2016 1:20:25 AM

Relationships is not a human idea neither is it as a result of a human desire or despair; it is certain that because God took the first initiative in a relationship and only God can and will also guarantee, give and lead one into a right relationship. God did not initiate relationship for anything thing else rather than for companionship with Him and with others; He did not initiate it because He was lonely and He did not make Eve for Adam because Adam complained of loneliness and needed a companion, it was God’s design for Himself and for man, it was for God’s immediate and future plans for you and I and for all humanity; it was done as a means to show and enhance our love for God and what he created and it was for us to see His beauty in what He had done on earth and what He will do on earth.

A right relationship is a blessing in the physical and in the spiritual to everyone; it encourages and promotes communal, personal spiritual, physical and economic growth; it guarantees peace where it exists, God’s unlimited and unhindered love, it increases chances of success and it gives physical and spiritual health to the body. A right relationship eliminates hatred of any form and it is an assurance of the presence of the Holy Spirit in leading and maintaining that relationship. It is certain that a right relationship is not born out of a human settlement of differences, it does not seek self-glory and it does not promote self-interest above everyone else. It does not promote the downfall of anyone else for your lifting up and does not make a profit for itself. Every relationship that is instituted by the devil and anyone instituted because of personal interest will definitely fall apart irrespective of the amount of sacrifice one puts in to make it work and to sustain it.

“Then God said, Let Us, Father, Son, Holy Spirit make man in Our image, according to Our likeness, not physical, but a spiritual personality and moral likeness; and let them have complete authority over the fish of the sea, the birds of the air, the cattle, and over the entire earth, and over everything that creeps and crawls on the earth. So God created man in His own image, in the image and likeness of God He created him; male and female He created them. And God blessed them, granting them certain authority and said to them, be fruitful, multiply, and fill the earth, and subjugate it, putting it under your power; and rule over, dominate the fish of the sea, the birds of the air, and every living thing that moves upon the earth. So God said, behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the surface of the entire earth, and every tree which has fruit yielding seed; it shall be food for you; and to all the animals on the earth and to every bird of the air and to everything that moves on the ground, to everything in which there is the breath of life, I have given every green plant for food; and it was so because He commanded it. God saw everything that He had made, and behold, it was very good and He validated it completely. And there was evening and there was morning, a sixth day.” Genesis 1:26-31

God gave His acceptance and approval to all things He created and made including the relationship of human beings with Him and with each other. It is in the power of this right relationship that we can be what God said of us and do what He designed us to do and be successful. Wherever there is a wrong relationship in place irrespective of the length of time it had been there, you will see coarse in existence; you will see gossips, hatred, backbiting and back slapping; you will see spiritual and physical decay, poverty and continuous insufficiency even in the midst of plenty; you will see wanton destruction of that which is good and of benefit to everyone and you will see the work and desires of the devil being promoted and right and acceptable to all. Jesus Christ our Lord did not come to establish another relationship but to restore the right relationship that was instituted by God at the beginning; He came to destroy the works of the devil targeted at destroying the purpose for the right relationship with God and man, He can to put right that which had been made wrong and He came to help us get back on track.
