There Be Many Servants Now A Days That Break Away Every Man From His Master Shall I Then Take My Bread, And My Water, And My Flesh That I Have Killed For My Shearers, And Give It Unto Men, Whom I Know Not Whence They Be?" (1Sam25:10-11, KJV) “Who Is David, And Who Is The Son Of Jesse?” That Was The Question Nabal Used To Show The Extent Of His Disdain And Familiarity Of A King Who Was On His Way To The Throne. Familiarity In Relationship Can Be So Blinding That One Can See A King And Not Recognize Him. Nabal’s Familiarity Did Not Stop At David, It Extended To His Father, Jesse. Nabal Seemed To Be Saying: ‘I Know David, I Know Even His Father, So Why Is He Making A Request? I Am Even Aware He Escaped From His Master Saul. His Genealogy And History Is On My Palms.’ Do You Realize That Before Now David Had Been Anointed King And Was Waiting For Saul’s Tenure To Expire? Do You Know He Had Brought Down The Giant Goliath? Do You Realize That Even Jonathan Had Given Him His Robe, Armor, Sword, Bow And Even His Belt? Bro. Jo Did All That Because He Knew David Would Be The Next King Of Israel. What Happened To Nabal? How Did He Allow The Foolishness Of Familiarity Rob Him A Lifetime Opportunity? I Was Surprised That Even Nabal’s Wife, Abigail, Knew That God Would Establish David And Therefore Never Took Him For Granted. (See 2Sam25:28). Familiarity Will Make You Insult A King And Yet You’ll Still Believe That You Don’t Tolerate Nonsense. Beloved, Many Kings Are In The Wilderness. They Are Already Anointed In The Secret. They Don’t Look Royal But They Are Waiting For Their Throne To Be Vacant Before They Ascend. Only Heaven Knows How Many Kings In Ordinary Robes Have Appeared To You Even Looking Needy And Due To Familiarity You Recited Their Life History Before Them. You Had The Guts To Ask Them, “Who Are You?” You Even Said That They As Well As Their Fathers Are Nothing. Familiarity Is Such A Defect In The Heart. It Is A Deadly Disease That Blinds A Man From Seeing A Future That Has Been Established. Be Wise. Shun Nabal’s Foolishness. A Man May Look Like Nothing To You, But Before The Lord He Is The Next Wonder About To Be Revealed. You Need To Ask The Lord For Eyes That See And Ears That Hear. Samuel Saw Saul Moving Up And Down In Search Of A Lost Ass And God Whispered To Him That The Young Man Looking For The Ass Was To Be The Next King Of Israel. Oh! For Eyes That See While It Is Yet Dark. Never You Think That Because You Have Seen A Man At The Gate, He Is The Gateman (GM), He Can Actually Be The General Manager (GM). Shun Familiarity. Stop Despising People. It Is Painful To See People You Looked Down On Become Those You Must Look Up To. How Terrible And Foolish Nabal Felt When He Saw David Ascend The Throne. His Omission By Familiarity Must Have Replayed Before Him. Relate Wisely. Relate Respectfully . Familiarity Is A Canker In Relationships. Hope This Meets You Well! #Idon’tdespisemeneveninthewilderness# #wsidominrelationship# #JesusOnly#
Dangers Of familiarity In Relationship 4 by Pastor Innocent Eleke"Then Elisha Said, Hear Ye The Word Of The LORD; Thus Saith The LORD, To Morrow About This Time Shall A Measure Of Fine Flour Be Sold For A Shekel, And Two Measures Of Barley For A Shekel, In The Gate Of Samaria. Then A Lord On Whose Hand The King Leaned Answered The Man Of God, And Said, Behold, If The LORD Would Make Windows In Heaven, Might This Thing Be? And He Said, Behold, Thou Shalt See It With Thine Eyes, But Shalt Not Eat Thereof." (2Kings7:1-2, KJV) We Have Been Noting Quietly That Familiarity Is A Virus In Relationship. At Times, It Is Not Just Being Familiar With Spiritual Authority. It Can Be With A Prophetic Word Spoken By The Person. A Word Not Received Cannot Release The Inherent Blessing. In This Story, There Has Been A Famine In The Land And Elisha Had Prophesied About What God Was Set To Do. An Officer, On Whose Hand The King Leaned On, Refuted What The Prophet Saw. This Is Familiarity. It Appears Like Nothing That When God Speaks Via A Vessel, Familiarity Can Make One Look For Loopholes On The Message. The Response Was A Mockery: *_"Look, If The Lord Would Make Windows In Heaven, Could This Thing Be?"_* Familiarity Can Make One To Mock The Prophetic Word. It Can Make You Take Lightly Divine Instructions Because You Are An "officer" And Kings Lean On Your Hand. It Could Be That Knowing Elisha All These Years Has Become A Stumbling Block To Him Receiving The Very Word Of God. Familiarity Has Never Been Without Consequences. The Response Of Elisha Was Very Decisive - "You Will See It But You Will Not Partake Of It". It Is Very Possible That Why Certain Blessings Eluded Some Is Because They Became Familiar. Remember It Is A Disposition Of The Heart And God Sees The Heart. It Is Painful To See That God Ensured That Man Never Partook Of That Prophecy When It Was Fulfilled Despite His Running To Take His Portion. Shun Familiarity. Prophetic Words Are Not Words Spoken To Flatter. Prophecy Does Not Come By The Will Of Man Except Fake Prophecy. No Matter How Ordinary The Vessel Is, Decide Against Familiarity. It Will Rob You Of Treasure. Never Be Familiar With God's Word That You No Longer Tremble At The Word. When The Word Of God Comes Either From Known Or Unknown Vessel, Familiar Or Unfamiliar Persons, Receive The Word With Meekness. That Is The Only Way For You To Be Blessed And Save Your Soul. Always Pray That Any Relationship That Is Available And Accessible Does Not Become One To Toy With. This Is A Prayer Issue. Address Your Heart Against Every Form And Shade Of Familiarity. It Can Exclude You From The Commonwealth. If You Are Close To A Prophetic Voice, Shun Familiarity. Recognise Your Prophetic Relationships And Treat With HONOUR. It Is By A Prophet God Saves And Preserves Us. (See Hosea12:13). Wisdom Demands That Daily You Pray That You Never Be Familiar With God, His Word, And His People. Hope This Leads You Into A New Experience! #I_relate_without_familiarity# #wisdominrelationship# #JesusOnly#
Dangers Of Familiarity In Relationship 3 by Pastor Innocent Eleke"And Miriam And Aaron Spake Against Moses Because Of The Ethiopian Woman Whom He Had Married: For He Had Married An Ethiopian Woman. And They Said, Hath The LORD Indeed Spoken Only By Moses? Hath He Not Spoken Also By Us? And The LORD Heard It. (Now The Man Moses Was Very Meek, Above All The Men Which Were Upon The Face Of The Earth.)" (Num12:1-3, KJV) Still On The Matter Of Familiarity. Aaron And Miriam Were There When Moses Was Born. Moses Had Married An Ethiopian And Was Confronted By His Elder Ones. Instead Of The Lord Treating The Matter He Was More Concerned With Why They Were Not Afraid To Speak To Moses In Such A Manner. Nothing Would Have Given Them Such Guts If Not Familiarity. Remember Miriam Watched Over Him While He Helplessly Lay On The Nile River. Remember Aaron Was His Mouthpiece Before Pharaoh. These And Many Other Domestic Interaction With Moses Would Have Made Them Familiar With Him. Israel Would Fear Moses But His Siblings Would Not. A Man's Enemies Are Members Of His Household. Watch It. Never Let Familiarity Make You Open Your Mouth Like A Running Tap And Say As It Pleases You Because Of A Close Relationship With One Anointed For You. It Is Even More Dangerous When Dealing With Humble Men/women Who Will Say Nothing And Will Let God Speak Back For Them. When You Look At Num12:6-8, God Described The Special Relationship He Had With Moses. This Is Very Instructive. Be Careful If You Are In Close Relationship With Anyone That God Has A Special Relationship With. He Could Be So Jealous Over Them And Will Not Tolerate Familiarity That Often Times Leads To Insult On Them. Never Let Your Gift Of Being Vocal Get You At Loggerheads With God Because You Did Not Manage Your Relationship With His Men/women. This Is A Double Edged Sword. It Can Bring You Very Special Blessings Like It Brought To Joshua And It Can Also Bring Leprosy To You As It Did To Miriam. The Familiarity Of Aaron And Miriam Made God So Angry And That Has Not Changed Today. One Wise Counsel: Always Ask God To Reveal To You In The Spirit Anyone You Come Close To So That You Will Know How To Align And Be Blessed. Some People Are Stagnated Like Miriam Was For Several Years In Their Life Because Of Wrong Attitudes And Dispositions To The Anointing God Has Positioned To Lift Them. Fight Familiarity. It Is A Disposition Of The Heart. Never Let Equality Spirit Destroy You And Leave You Leprous Amidst Men. Be So Prayerful While Relating With Men/women God Set Over You. If You Must Speak About Their - "Ethiopians" Carry It To The Lord Who Gave Them To You. This Is Wisdom For Your Safety. Never Let Anyone's "Ethiopian" Leave You A Leper. You Are In A Relationship To Be Blessed And Not To Be Leprous. #I_should_not_be_familiar# #wisdominrelationship# #JesusOnly#
Dangers Of Familiarity In Relationship 2 by Pastor Innocent Eleke"Is Not This The Carpenter, The Son Of Mary, The Brother Of James, And Joses, And Of Juda, And Simon? And Are Not His Sisters Here With Us? And They Were Offended At Him. But Jesus, Said Unto Them, A Prophet Is Not Without Honour, But In His Own Country, And Among His Own Kin, And In His Own House. And He Could There Do No Mighty Work, Save That He Laid His Hands Upon A Few Sick Folk, And Healed Them. And He Marvelled Because Of Their Unbelief. And He Went Round About The Villages, Teaching." (Mk6:3-6, KJV) There Is A Virus You Must Never Allow Into Your Relationships. It Is Called Familiarity. So Many Cannot Handle Closeness In Relationship And As Such, What Was Meant To Be A Blessing To Them Turned Out Otherwise. The Question That Was Raised About Jesus Is A Typical Example Of Familiarity In Relationship: Is This Not The Carpenter? Is He Not The Son Of Mary And Brother Of James, Joseph, Judas And Simon? Even We Know His Sisters. What A Knowledge That Ends The Flow Of Virtue. Almighty Jesus Did Not Receive Honour Even Though Honour Was Due To Him. Simply Because They Know Him Well. They Have Seen Him Hitting Nail On Wood. They Know His Mother And Siblings.What A Thing To Guard Against In Relationships. Some May Even See Him As A Young Man And Will Not Honour Him. Some Were There The Day He Was Brought To Be Dedicated By Simeon With Some Pigeons. What Will Make You Despise A Relationship Are Too Many But In Wisdom, Avoid This Familiarity. No Mater How Close You Come, Never You Go Announcing That The Comb On The Head Of A Cock Is Not Fire. What You Don't Respect Cannot Bless You. The Ark Was In The House Of Abinadab For Twenty Years, It Looked Like An Ordinary Box But In The House Of Obed-Edom For Three Months, The Story Changed. Oh That You Don't Let This Virus Into Your Relati Especially With Those Who Have Spiritual Authority Over You. The Treasure Has Not Ceased To Be In An Earthen Vessel. The Container May Not Allow You Know The Content Unless You Are Blessed With Eyes That See Beyond. Know No Man After The Flesh. One Danger Of Familiarity In Relationship Is This: _"And He Could There Do No Mighty Work, Save That He Laid His Hands Upon A Few Sick Folk, And Healed Them." (Mk6:5, KJV). Nothing Hinders The Move Of God's Spirit In Our Relationships Like Familiarity. It Is Familiarity That Generates Unbelief And Hinders Virtue. Even For Jesus, Among His Relatives, He Could Not Do Much. Their Unbelief Was A MARVEL TO HIM. Consciously Pray And Work Against Familiarity In Your Relationships. Honour Generates Honour. Give Honour To Whom Honour Is Due. If You Noticed You Have Become Familiar, Pray To The Lord And Ask Him To Deliver You And Deliberately Work Against Being Familiar. This Does Not Only Concern Those In Authority Whom You Relate With. Even Among Your Peers, As You Play, Also Pray Never To Be Familiar. It Is A Disposition Of The Heart And Can Rob You Of Eternal Treasures. I Don't Know How Mary, After Carrying Jesus For Nine Months In The Womb, Sucked Him Yet She Still Believed That He Can Turn Anything To Wine Even Water. Such A Heart Is A Need. Walk Out Of Familiarity Today. Hope This Meets A Need? #I_refuse_to_be_familiar# #wisdominrelationship# #JesusOnly#
Dangers Of Familiarity In Relationship 1 by Pastor Innocent Eleke"And King Rehoboam Consulted With The Old Men, That Stood Before Solomon His Father While He Yet Lived, And Said, How Do Ye Advise That I May Answer This People?" (1 Kings12:6, KJV) In Life, You Will Relate With Three Sets Of People. The First Are Your Elders, The Second Are Your Colleagues And The Third Are Your Subordinates. How You Handle Each Of These Set Of People Will Affect Your Life. King Rehoboam Missed It Because He Didn't Take Advantage Of His Relationship With Elders. Those Who Relate And Open Up To The Counsel Of Elders Are Usually Wise. Elders Give Advise Based On Their Experience And No Good Elder Wants The Young Ones To Repeat Their Mistakes. Rehoboam Consulted The Elders Who Stood Before Solomon His Father. Imagine What Could Become Of A Man Who Was An Elder In King Solomon's Cabinet. Lmagine Men Who Stood To Hear Daily The Wisdom Of Solomon For Years, What Manner Of Men They Could Be. Look At The Testimony Of The Queen Of Sheba: "Happy Are Your Men And Happy Are These Your Servants, Who Stand Continually Before You, And Hear Your Wisdom." (1Kings10:8). These Were The Men Rehoboam Rejected Their Advice. If You Don't Have Good And Quality Relationship With Wise Elders, You Will Lose A Lot Of Vital Lessons In Life. Your Mates And Subordinates Can Only Tell You The Much They Know. In Relating With Elders, Learn To Be Silent And Listen Even If You Seem To Know Much. Knowledge Cannot Replace Experience. Even Jesus Who Is Wisdom Himself Sat For Days Before Pharisees Hearing And Asking Them Questions In The Temple. Never Let Arrogance Rub You The Wealth Of Wisdom God Has Deposited In Relationships With Elders. In Fact, When John Wept So Much That No One Could Open The Scroll, It Was An Elder Who Made The Apostle To Know That The Lamb Has Prevailed Already. So Even In Heaven There Are Elders. What A Blessing To Be In A Relationship With Elders Who See What Is Making You Cry And They Smile At It Because They Have An Experience In Their Bag That Can Sort You Out. Colleagues Are Good, Subordinates Are Wonderful But Never Forget Elders Are TREASURES And Are Custodians Of Many Things. Take This Relationship With Elders Seriously And Take Good Advantage Of It. Jesus Had A Good Relationship With His Father (ancient Of Days) And When They Asked Him, "where Did You Get All These Wisdom Without Going To School? (See Jn7:15). His Answer Was Simple - "They Are From My Father. Get Wisdom From Elders And You Will Be A Marvel. #elderly_counsel_are_sweet# #wisdominrelationship# #JesusOnly#
Wisdom In Relationship (XXXIII) by Pastor Innocent Eleke"And They Were Both Naked, The Man And His Wife, And Were Not Ashamed." (Gen2:25, KJV) God Wants Us To Have Plenty Relationships. Each One Serving A Purpose And Having Guidelines/principles Of Operation. There Is A Place Of Nakedness (physically) In A Relationship. In The Scripture Above, You Will Notice That The Nakedness Is Meant For A Class Of People - The Man And His Wife. It Never Said The Boy And The Girl Nor The Woman And The Boy; Not Even The Man/woman And The Animal. It Didn't Say The Man And The Man. I Didn't Read The Man/woman And A Doll. It Is Clear That It Is The Man And His (own) Wife. It Is Only In Between The Man And His Own Wife That Physical Nakedness Is Approved In Relationships. Outside This, Any Nakedness Will Result In SHAME. If It Is For The Man And His Own Wife (not The Wife Of Another), They Will Be Naked And Yet Not Ashamed. In No Other Relationship Can The Principle Of Physical Nakedness Be Upheld And Not End In Shame No Matter How We Open Our Eyes To Challenge It. If It Does Not Result In Shame Now, It Will Much Later (See Rom6:21). If You Desire A Glorious Relationship, Then Decide Against Nakedness. The Pressure Is Much On Several Relationships Because The Enemy Of Our Soul Makes Us Think Without Physical Nakedness Relationship Will Not Be Fulfilling. This Is Far From The Truth. He Tells Us It Should Just Be Once, But It Never Ends At Once. He Says Just Keep To One Person But That Is Not Always The Case. The Only Way Not To Continue Is Never To Start. Sex Outside Marriage Does Not Build Relationships. It Destroys It. It Does Not Build Confidence. It Creates Fear And Insecurity. It Does Not Solidify Relationships. It Weakens It. It Eliminates Trust And Breeds Suspicion. It Can Turn True Love To Hatred. It Is Not The Secret Of Commitment. Instead, It Delays It Most Times. If A Man/woman Has Gotten What He/she Seeks, Why Hurry Again? If You Have Removed Your Clothes, Put It On Again. Wait For The Proper Time, Place, Person Etc. God Is Not Denying You But He Is Defending You. Hope This Helps You? #no_sex_outside_marriage# #wisdiminrelationship# #JesusOnly#
Wisdom In Relationship (XXXII) by Pastor Innocent Eleke"Don't Hang Out With Angry People; Don't Keep Company With Hotheads. Bad Temper Is Contagious - Don't Get Infected". (Pro22:24-25 - MSG) You Need To Pay Attention To This. It Is For Your Safety. It Is Not Every Kind Of Person You Should Get Into Relationship With. Some Are Already Marked 'DANGER'; So Once You See Them, Please, Face Your Front Like A Soldier Taking Salute In A Parade. No More, No Less. Despising This Wisdom Will Be At Your Peril. Stop Hanging Out With Those Heavily Infested With Anger In The Name Of Relationship. Those Who Are Short-tempered Are Not For You. Do No Relationship Business With Hotheads Unless You Plan To Become One. In Every Relationship, There Is Exchange Of Traits. If You Are Desiring Earnestly To Become Hot Tempered, Then Get Into Relationship With Such People And In A Little While, You Will Manifest It Fully. "Bad Temper Is Contagious - Don't Get Infected." - This Is Where Social Distancing Began. Keep No Company With Hot Tempered People. They Love To Hit Anything Around Them When It Begins And Woe Betide You If You Are The Available Object Of Expression. I Have Seen Men/women Looking Disfigured As If They Had A Boxing Bout With Iron Mike Tyson. Only To Discover They Were "in Love" Or "in Hatred" Or Even "in Boxing" With A Bad Tempered Person. Honestly, If You Are Not Interested In Learning Anger As A Course Or Letting It Snare Your Soul, Keep Away. Some Have Been Beaten To Death Because They Have Entered Into "regret" Which They Called Relationship With One Heavily Infested With Anger. This Is A Serious Issue. There Is A Thin Line Between A Hot Tempered Man/woman And A Beast. A Very Thin Line I Say. Look Before You Leap. Patiently Observe As You Relate With People If This Beast Is Hiding Somewhere; Because It Does Not Show Up Daily. Once You Confirm It Is There, Quietly Excuse Yourself As If You Want To Use The Convenience And Never Return Again. From That Moment, Let Your Phone Be Either Unreachable, Temporarily Out Of Service Or The Phone Has Spoilt. God Does Not Joke With Words. No Sentiments At All. The Creator Of Man Is Telling You The Kind To Avoid. Don't Be Wiser Than Him. Are You Prone To Bad Temper, Please, Stop Moving Up And Down In The Name Of Relationship. This Is Critical Before You Become An Emergency Murderer. Just Rise Now And Move To The Intensive Care Unit (ICU) Of God's Presence And Confess That You Tested Positive. Beware Of This Deadly Virus Called ANGER. God Is Still Changing Men And Women. You Deliverance Is Very Sure. #wisdominrelationship# #JesusOnly#
Wisdom In Relationship (XXXI) by Pastor Innocent Eleke"And Hiram King Of Tyre Sent His Servants Unto Solomon; For He Had Heard That They Had Anointed Him King In The Room Of His Father: For Hiram Was Ever A Lover Of David." (1Kings5:1 KJV) There Is A Dimension In Relationship That Most Of Us Don't Pay Attention To. I Call It "beyond The Present" Relationship. Hiram King Of Tyre Had Always Loved David. They Enjoyed A Good Relationship. It Didn't End Between Them. There Was This Beautiful Extension Such That When Solomon The Son Of David Ascended The Throne, Hiram Was So Excited And Happy That His Friend Now Has A Wise Son Who Can Reign In His Place. Hiram Proceeded To Send Skillful Men And Even Materials To Enable Solomon Build His House And The House Of The Lord. What A Man! What A Unique Relationship! Can We Start Envisioning A Relationship That Goes Beyond The Present? Is It Possible For Our Relationships To Go Further To Positively Affect Our Seed In The Next Generation. One Lesson I Gleaned From This Is That Hiram And David Had A Wonderful Relationship That Is Transferable. It Readily Comes To Mind Too That There Are Also Soured Relationships That Has Become Generational Of Which Some Of Us Have Even Enlisted In The Battle. David Was A Wise Man Who Knows About Generational Relationship. The Death Of His Bosom Friend Jonathan Did No Wipe Out The Memory Of Big Jo From His Mind. Can You Remember Him Asking, "Is There Anyone I Can Show Mercy For Jonathan's Sake?" Do You Quickly Forget A Friend Because He/she Is No More? Are You Building Generational Relationships Or Just A Passing One? The Truth Remains That Not All Relationships Can Go Beyond The Present. FEW Definitely Will And You Will Need Wisdom To Place Each Relationship Where It Belongs. Learn To Be A Blessing In All Relationships So That Even When You Are No More, Your Children Can Enjoy The Benefits By Mere Mention Of Your Name. Please, Let It Sink Into Your Heart That Your Relationships Go Beyond You And It Can Open A Door Or Close It Against Your Coming Generations. Jesus Spoke About This When He Said, "...everyone That Loveth Him That Begat Loveth Him Also That Is Begotten Of Him."(1Jn5:1) So, Relationship In Its True And Pure Nature Is Transferable. Build Transferable Relationships. Hope This Gives You A Dream! #beyond_the_present# #wisdominrelationship# #JesusOnly#
Wisdom In Relationship (XXX) by Pastor Innocent Eleke"...for A Gift Doth Blind The Eyes Of The Wise, And Pervert The Words Of The Righteous" (Deut16:19, *KJV*) In Every Relationship, Giving And Receiving Of Gifts Is Acceptable. Giving Someone A Gift Can Be A Symbol Of Love, Appreciation And A Way Of Showing Value. Having Said This, It Is Important We Understand The Nature And The Power Of A Gift So We Know How To Handle Such In Relationships. Please, Bear In Mind That Gifts As Ordinary As They Seem Can Affect A Person's Heart, Disposition, And Even Sense Of Judgment. Since This Is So, We Must Be Careful How We Give And Receive Gifts In Relationships. Some Make The Mistake Of Seeing Gifts As Tools Of Control And As Such Become Very Manipulative. On The Other Hand, Some Just Go On And Receive Gifts Without Discretion Or Knowing That Gifts Can Blind The Eyes And Make One To Misjudge Issues. It Is Wisdom Never To Come To A Point Where It Is Difficult To Say Your Mind In A Relationship Because You Have Been MUTED With Gifts. In Some Relationships, People May Have A Wrong Notion. They Feel Giving You Things Means Buying You Over. Beware Of This. They Even Quote Scriptures Out Of Context By Saying, "To Whom Much Is Given, Much Is Expected." So, They Flood You With Gifts With An Expectation In The Future From You Which If You Fail To Respond To Causes Crises In The Relationship. I Have Heard People Say, "You Think I Was Stupid All The While I Was Investing In You."? So, They Gave And Looked Forward To A Dividend. This Is A Wrong Mindset Of Giving In Relationships. If You Get Someone By Gifts, Be Ready To Sustain Him/her By Gifts. Relate Normally And Garnish The Garden Of The Relationship With Occasional Necessary Gifts. Gifts Must Be Given To Appreciate And Not To Lure Someone Into Anything Against One's Will. STOP BEING MANIPULATIVE AND CALLING IT GENEROSITY. These Are Two Worlds Apart. To All Who Receive Gifts, Be Sure Your Mind And Heart Is Intact. Ensure Your Judgment Has Not Being Compromised. Be Guided And Live Freely. Never Come Into Bondage In The Name Of Relationship By Over-accepting Gifts. There Is Nothing New Under The Sun. You Are Not A Creature Of Pity But Of Value. Hope This Meets You Well? #wisdominrelataionship# #JesusOnly#
Wisdom In Relationship (XXIX) by Pastor Innocent Eleke"And Dinah The Daughter Of Leah, Which She Bare Unto Jacob, Went Out To See The Daughters Of The Land. And When Shechem The Son Of Hamor The Hivite, Prince Of The Country, Saw Her, He Took Her, And Lay With Her, And Defiled Her. And His Soul Clave Unto Dinah The Daughter Of Jacob, And He Loved The Damsel, And Spake Kindly Unto The Damsel." (Gen34:1-3, *KJV*) Several People Have Suffered Irreparable Damage Or Loss Just By Careless Movements. In Every Relationship, One Fundamental Principle Of Succeeding Is Avoiding CARELESS VISITS. Knowing Where To Be And Not To Be Per Time Remains An Age Long Wisdom That Is Relevant Till Today. Everything That Happens To A Man Is Location-based. If You Deal With Your Location, What You Will Experience Is Handled. Dinah Went To See The Daughters Of The Land And Shechem Saw Her. This Is Very Serious. Who Sees You Depends On Where You Go. If You Are Not Online, Those Online Will Not See You No Matter How They Try. Secondly, Who Sees You Determines What Happens To You. Dinah Was Positioned Where It Was Possible For Prince Shechem To See Her And The Summary Of That "seeing" Was VIOLATION. I Still Believe It Didn't Just Happen But Reading In Between The Lines, I See The Hidden Portion Of That Experience. In Sense, It Went This Way: Dinah Went To Where She Can Be Seen, Shechem Saw Her, Talked With Her And VIOLATED HER. Nothing Happens So Suddenly. It Is A Process. I Have Heard Some People Say, "I Am Seeing This Man/lady." I Hope You Are Seeing Well While You Are Seeing Him/her. Take This Little Counsel: It Is Important That You First "see" The Person Before You Start Seeing The Person. You Are The One Seeing Him/her As Prince/princess Shechem/Schechemia But In The Real Sense, He/she Represents A VIOLATION Of All You Stand For Or Represent. Be Wise. This Was The Last Thing We Heard Of Dinah. Her Story Ended In One Chapter. A Lady With Twelve Princes (sons Of Jacob) Lost It To One Prince Shechem Just By A Careless Visit. Do You Know If She Decides To Be Visiting Her Own Brothers Monthly, It Will Take Her A Year To Go Round. Learn To Keep Yourself Where The Love Of God Can Reach You. Avoid Careless, Undefined, Purposeless Visits. Boredom Can Lead To Unclassified Visits/movements. Do You Realize That A Little Siesta Would Have Delivered Lady D. Don't Let Boredom Push You Into The City Wandering Aimlessly. I Know You Are A Star. Remember That Lady D Was Also. A Star Becomes A Wondering Star When The Spirit Of Careless Visits Takes Over A Life. Shun Careless Movements. Hope This Meets You Well? #wisdominrelationship# #JesusOnly#
Wisdom In Relationship (XXVIII) by Pastor Innocent Eleke
