I didn’t know which higher form of God’s substance to begin with. They don’t have per se a chronological order. All I know is that LOVE is the highest form of God ‘s substance because everything works by love. Also God is LOVE!
I started to think about what did you and I do after finding about God’s love. The next thing we did was connecting to His love! Then it dawned on me. I need to talk about the Divine Relationships, which is a higher form of God’s substance. Remember these higher forms can produce money (the lowest form of God’s substance) or the same thing money can buy or sometimes can’t buy! It may be one relationship that causes you to prosper beyond your wildest dreams.
Divine relationships are connections to others setup by God and recognized by you. You have to recognize divine connections. They are not governed by feelings. They are governed by faith! A Divine relationship is a must for you to prosper. Without it you will never reach your potential. God told Abraham in Genesis 12:3 that He (God) was going to bless those that blessed him (Abraham). In other words those that caused Abraham to prosper, God was going to cause them to prosper. The only ones that could receive the blessing are those that had a relationship (connection) with Abraham. Now you can see why Lot, Abraham’s nephew, was rich. And you can also see why Lot lost all he had. It had everything to do with connection.
As I’m writing, I see that this blog will develop into two parts. There are two types of divine relationships, vertical Divine relationships and horizontal Divine relationships. Vertical Divine relationships consist of you being connected to someone who’s been there, done that, and got the T-shirt to prove it. Horizontal Divine relationships consist of you being connected to someone that will help you control your environment of thoughts and actions or others who are going down the same path that you are going.
We will focus on vertical Divine relationships in this blog and horizontal Divine relationships in the next blog.
Now let’s get back to Abraham and Lot. When Lot stayed connected to Abraham, everything was fine. When he started to quarrel with Abraham, everything went south. Let’s look and the inner meaning of what really happened. When Lot adhered to Genesis 12: 3, he was able to learn what Abraham was learning. Abraham was able to show him what he was learning. When Lot cut off that Divine relationship, he cut off his flow of Divine information. Could Lot have heard directly from God and use the blessing on his own? Yes, he could have. But my question is “WHY DIDN’T LOT HEAR FROM GOD ON HIS OWN AND USE THE BLESSING?” We can easily tell that Lot didn’t know how to do this because of the results that he got. The number one reason for vertical Divine relationships is accountability.
Everything in God’s system works by the seed principle. Everything you need to accomplish what God has planned for you is already in you. But it’s just like a seed. You can’t tell how many apples or the quality an apple seed will produce. You can only tell the potential. Until that seed is planted, cultivated and allowed to grow, you won’t know what kind of fruit it will produce.
Well the planting, cultivation, and growth of the seed comes from the accountability of the sunlight, water, and dirt. Those three things gives the seed what it needs and protects it so that it can reach it’s potential! WOW!!!
The seed of potential in your life needs accountability from someone who has produced what you have potential to produce. That’s the purpose of vertical Divine relationships. For the sake of the blog, I’m going to give you some examples of Divine relationships that you can research and study for yourself.
- David and the men that joined themselves to him 1 Samuel 22:1-2 and 1 Chronicles 28:1-12
- Moses and Joshua
- Jesus and the disciples
- Elijah and Elisha
- Naomi and Ruth
- Paul and Timothy
Remember every last one of these relationship cause increase!
Until next time!
