INTRODUCTION TO RELATIONSHIPS
Continues…
The concept of relationship was founded by God Himself, He created everything to benefit the other. Everything needed the other for it to be useful.
The importance of one thing is in the need of another thing. The importance of a doctor is in the weakness of the flesh, the importance of flowers is in the weakness of the bees and other imsects and also the weakness of your eyes😂😂😂.
It is difficult to understand the importance of a thing that doesn’t benefit you anything
So whatever God created benefits the other and that is where the concept of relationship gets stronger
Listen to this
“Your value is not measured according to what you have, but according to what you give”
If anyone is valuing you because of what you have, that guy is deceiving you, because the very moment you loose it, the same person will be the first one to avoid you and undervalue you.
But when you can give something to add value to another thing or someone, you are just investing in your own value, because the moment you stop having what you have, the ones you gave it to will come and hold your hands to strengthen you
If you are ever going to boast because of what you have, then you are going to have a short time mob😂😂, then the moment you are run out of it, the mob will run away too because they will be seeking for another person who has it elsewhere.
Learn to add value on things and people around you, help them become a better version of themselves, you will always enjoy their fruits when they come back and thank you for what you have done in their lives. At that time even when you have nothing to give, they will still value you because of how much you have helped them become.
For example.
We keep plants and care for them, the moment we can’t give them water and manure anymore because of sickness or some inabilities, plants will give you medicine, plants will give you its fruits, plants will give you shade when you can’t survive for long time in the sun, plants will give you timber when you are in need of construction equipments or in need of furniture.
All this is only because you were ready to add value to your environment by planting trees and giving them water.
I like what the Bible says👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻
Ecclesiastes 11:1
[1] Cast thy bread upon the waters: for thou shalt find it after many days.
Tupa chakula chako usoni pa maji; Maana utakiona baada ya siku nyingi.
Cast your food upon waters, 🤔🤔🤔, food upon the waters, and then it says that you shall find it after many days.
How can you throw your food into the water and then expect to have it again.
What the bible says is this “when it comes to adding value (giving) to your environment, or people,. Do it as someone who is wasting himself, as someone who is throwing his/her food into the waters, because after many days you will come to realize that you didn’t throw it at all, you saved it without knowing.
Keeping good relationship with others, requires first to think of what you are going to give to them rather than what they are going to give you
Ambitious/ selfish expectations are dangerous to a healthy relationship
Don’t look at what you have to start giving, just use what you have to add value on others, in the process you will come to realize that you are also growing as they are growing
Don’t spare the little abilities you have, just use it, you will come to realize that your abilities are getting bigger and better as days goes. Yes, you will come to understand that in training others you were just training yourself
The motive behind any good, successful and healthy relationships is not on what you are going to benefit from that Relationship but rather what you are going to give to that Relationship to make it better
Look at “what good thing can I do to my environment?, What good thing can I do to my Relationship?” What good thing can I do, how can I make it better, and as you will be doing that you will come to realize that you are the one who was making yourself better in that Relationship. Because that Relationship will later announce your name in honor
Concentrate more on adding value to whatever God has trusted you with, is it your studies, is it your parents, is it your wife, is it your husband, is it your job, is it your business, is it your ministry, is it your finances, is it your good friends, is it your compound?
What is it that God has trusted you with? Add value to it, because it will bear fruits for you later, and you will be more better than you are now. Build a good relationship with it,. Has God trusted you with His own presence? Keep it add value to it. You know, most of us want many things around us, which we think are bigger than what we already have, we demand for much more things we want husbands, wives, we want things that in our terms, we term them as bigger things, yet the very biggest thing that we have been trusted with as children of God we don’t value it, and that is the presence of God. Imagine God living in you and you in Him, that gift of sonship alone, is the key to any thing you call greater in your own eyes, that position alone is the greatest of any other things, infact Jesus Christ said, “seek ye first the kingdom of God,…“, And that’s the very kingdom you are in. Cultivate that presence, and as you cultivate it, it cultivates you. Your level of achievement in anything good, will be determined by how much you have kept the presence of God. That presence alone will lead you into all goodness, that presence alone will instruct you on what to decide and how to do it.
God is telling Adam, This👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻
Genesis 2:15
[15]And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.
BWANA Mungu akamtwaa huyo mtu, akamweka katika bustani ya Edeni, ailime na kuitunza.
The word “Eden” means “the presence, the open door, pleasure, the spot”
And Adam is put to dress it and keep it.Adding value to whatever God has given you
Now listen to this
“Whatever God gives unto you, He gives it to you as a seed,” now it’s your duty to participate in making it better,. God wants you to participate in making whatever He has given you better.
We are learning about a healthy relationship, right?🤨
If you want it to be healthy, there is a role to play as a trusted one.
This is the reason if you are ever going to ask God for intelligent children, or God to give you doctors in your family, what you will receive is a baby, who doesn’t even know what school is,😂
God wants you to participate in making it better. And at the end you will come to realize that you were the one who was becoming better in it.
