On the last blog, I talked about Divine Relationships as one of the higher forms of God’s substance. I want to remind you that money is the lowest or most reduced form of God’s substance. If we learn to operate in the higher forms of God’s substance, then we can control the lowest form.
As promised, I want to use this blog to continue to talk about Divine Relationships. We have already defined what a Divine Relationship is. It’s a connection to someone orchestrated or setup by God and discovered by you! That’s right! You have to discover Divine Relationships. I went further to discover to types of Divine Relationships, vertical and horizontal. The last blog I talked about vertical Divine Relationships (If you haven’t read that one, click here to access it.). This blog I will talk about horizontal Divine Relationships.
A horizontal Divine Relationship is you being connected to someone or a group of persons that help you control your environment of thoughts and actions. In other words, this person or group of persons will challenge you every time you walk away from the path that is leading you to the place where YOU said you wanted to go!
Now a horizontal Divine Relationship will keep you sharp and is willing to receive from you as well. Horizontal Divine Relationships are all over the Bible. But I stumbled across one that it took one whole book in the bible to demonstrate.
Whenever you get a chance, read the whole book of Job. In that book, you’ll see where Job lost all that he had. He began to complain and blame God. He had 3 friends that came to console him and yet he still complained. In Chapters 2-31, Job 3 friends were trying to console him, but Job became righteous in his own eyes (Job 32:1) and they could say no more to him.
You must carefully analyze all relationships to see if they are Divine or just acquaintances. I saw something in the story of Job that shocked me. I always thought that those 3 friends were doing Job a favor by trying to console him. But in Job 32:4, you can read that a fourth person entered the picture named Elihu. He got angry with Job and his three friends because in all that talking for 29 chapters, no one told Job the truth that mattered. Yes, they were making true statement, but all the true statements in the world don’t matter if they don’t get YOU to realize THE TRUTH!
Elihu told Job in so many words that He was the problem, not God, not satan, but it was he! Now that’s a Divine Relationship. It took Elihu 6 chapters to do what the three so-called friends couldn’t do in 29 chapters, which was to tell Job that He was the problem. The three friends knew that but wouldn’t tell Job.
In the 38th chapter of Job, Job finally came back to his senses after Elihu held him accountable for his actions and beliefs. Then God restored Job two times more than what He had before.
Horizontal Divine Relationships are important and you see how it helped Job with his material possessions. Watch whom you hang around and whom you let speak into your life!
I leave you with this thought. A Divine Relationship is a higher form of God’s substance that controls the lowest form of God’s substance, money!
