Proverbs 13:20 NKJV.
He who walks with wise men will be wise, But the companion of fools will be destroyed.
Relationships - are advantageous connections, that are mutually beneficial to all parties involved.
The easiest way to succeed in life is through relationships. Everything in life multiplies bases of relationships i.e family- man and woman, plants- through pollination.
People are currencies: they can purchase things, people and conditions (state of life - David and Ziba) into our lives.
Every man you meet in your life is a mathematical symbol: - ÷ + ×
Your future is entirely dependent on the people you call your friends, who you see determines who sees you, who you talk to determines who talks to you. A man becomes great because of the people he chooses to associate with.
Genesis 13:1 - 5. - In verse 1 - Lot is just but a company and a relative but he associated with a rich man of Gold, Silver and Livestock. In Verse 5 Lot has grown into the same status Abraham was.
Simon and Andrew are called into ministry from fishers of fish into apostles.
Matt 4:19 - "Follow me and I will make you fishers of men" then fulfilled in Act 4:13.
Who surrounds you determines what you can survive and suffer. i.e
Samson slept on Delilah's laps and lost his vision... A great judge and warrior finishes his story as a wheat grinder. Not every door that opens you should enter.
Jonah 1;1:- Men suffer from the wrath of the Lord and even lose business trading cargo at expense of a man who was even asleep Vs 15:- they throw him out into the sea and it.
You are commanded to love all people but not to befriend all people. Jesus loved everybody, even worse of sinners i.e Zacchaeus but he didn't associate himself with everybody, he had 3 levels of associates. The 72, the 12 and the 3 then 1.
In the game of life Not everyone who began with, you is supposed to finish with you. (Abraham had to leave his family and later his nephew Lot).
New levels demand new associates because you can never rise above your associations.
Every time God wanted to shift the level of a man he had to disconnect him from certain ppl and connected him to other ppl, i.e - Abraham, Jacob, Joseph.
Every time God wants to lift you he will bring a man into your life to help you, Samuel, Elisha and so is the devil he will bring a man to hijack you.
