Relationship Prosperity

Relationships based on the physical and neglecting the spiritual will have difficulty. Let me say it this way. Unless God is the foundation from which any relationship is built, there will be problems, issues, and challenges. Don't get me wrong, having your relationship with God as your foundation doesn't absolve you from having stuff happening to you, however, your spiritual foundation helps to provide you with a blueprint to get back on track. Can you do me a favor and think about any relationship you've been in that didn't have God as the center? Did it last? Did you find yourself always miserable, upset, frustrated, and aggravated? As my mentor dropped in my spirit many years ago, 'if your significant other doesn't put God first in their life, you're bound to have trouble.' Here's the Sinclair remix. Without God leading and guiding you and your relationship, you'll  make foolish choices.

In this life, I've discovered through many counseling sessions that it's difficult moving forward in any relationship when two people aren't speaking the same spiritual language. Simply put - if you're speaking about seeking the will of God and your significant other is speaking about 'me, myself, and I,' you're not progressing but digressing. I know this message is making someone feel uncomfortable but it's alright because God is able to resolve and rectify anything. All you have to do is trust and believe in the power of God. In addition to this, learn the lessons provided and you will keep yourself from being messed up from the floor up.

In this spiritual journey, I want to share with you how you can make any relationship prosperous. The first thing you need to do is make sure you know who you are and whose you are. In a real sense, if you don't know you're a child of the living God, then you will allow others to define you and confine you. Make up your mind to serve God with your whole mind, body, and soul and your standard will be set. The second thing you need to do in making any relationship prosperous is ask your significant other where they see themselves in five to ten years. Get past the standard answers and look for the answer - doing the will of God and seeking His divine will. I know this may sound unconventional, but you want to understand where the mindset of your significant other is.

In writing to the people of Corinth, the apostle Paul penned the words, "Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness?" Please don't miss this last lesson. You can't compromise your faith in order to please someone. If you begin to compromise your faith, then you'll compromise other things. If you're married, I urge you to work together in serving God, making Him your top priority. If you're single, don't rush getting married - just do the will of God and He'll take care of your needs according to His riches in glory. As I close this message, keep God first in everything. Don't get so sidetracked with looks, personality, and all that's happening around you that you forget to make God your center.
