Build Bridges - The Power of Relationships 2


Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha


No human being is a self-sustaining island. Relationships are pivotal to success but significantly, relationships differ and are at different levels. There are relationships with fellow human beings at different levels.

There is also the most important and significant of relationships which is your relationship with God. Spiritual relationships are more important than biological ones – Luke Chapter 17 verse 21, 23 verse 21. Relationship with God is critical. In this relationship, humans generally take it for granted that God supplies every need of theirs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. This is true. God has been and is still in the business of meeting the needs of humanity especially His own. However, God also has needs which He expects humans to also meet. One of such needs is to accord Him the respect He deserves from you as well as give Him quality worship.

Beloved, God is great and mighty in power and deeds. He created the entire universe and owns everything in the Universe and everything including you and I are subject to Him. Therefore, reverence and worship should flow spontaneously from our hearts to Him in quality praise and adoration. This gladdens the heart of God. Sometimes, challenges and what you consider competing priorities but which are not really priorities may becloud your mental processes and you forget or decide not to worship. Please repent and return to the place of deep reverential fear for God and worship the King of kings and Lord of lords to whom all honor, glory and power belongs.



Despite the challenges Joseph experienced in Egypt, he chose the path of deep reverential fear for God culminating in quality worship. Significantly and quite instructive is the fact that Joseph succeeded beyond the expectations of those who hated him and sold him into slavery. The biblical Daniel also chose the path of deep reverential fear and worship despite death threats to his young life. God came through for him and his enemies were silenced forever.

Beloved, the deep reverential fear of God as well as quality worship to God always has rich dividends which cannot be quantified. Therefore, make it a habit to always meet the needs of God before meeting personal needs and the needs of other people. Do same for tithes and offerings. Give tithes when due and give generous offerings to God.  God knows how to reward you. He will always supply all your needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. Besides, the blessings of the tithe are unquantifiable as stated in Malachi Chapters 2 verse 17, 3 verses 7 to 12 and Matthew Chapter 6 verse 11. They include - open doors and abounding opportunities; the great blessings of unparallel divine favor, exceptionally excellent skills and expertise, uncommon wisdom, divinely connected contacts designed to move you to the next level, divine and abounding provision, overflowing abundance, unlimited supplies, and no shortfalls so that you will not have room enough to receive the blessings of God.

God will rebuke the devourer for your sake. That is to say that there will be no satanic blockades and limitations, no  ill health, ill will, envy and hatred, rather affirmation, approval, favor, promotion, no curses allowed, no hexes, divination, enchantment, spells and sorcery against you by the enemy and his cohorts.
