There is power in agreement.  What I mean by that is not people agreeing with you per se, but people being able to stand with you at all times.  People who stick with you through thick and thin, good or bad and who won’t betray you or judge you.  I really wish individuals would realize this and be more selfless, thinking of themselves less and others more.  One of the best and simplest way to determine who’s who and what’s what as it relates to your relationship with others, learn from their actions.  When people show you who they are, believe them.  Don’t base your relationship with others upon words.  Let it be the action that comes behind those words that determines whether or not they deserve a role in your life.  When you find somebody good, stick with them.

The bible speaks of the power that comes when people of faith can get together on one accord.  I’ve been a loner for majority of my life, but as I’ve grown wiser I have also come to understand the power that comes with agreement.  The power behind having people who you can talk with, pray with, and just be yourself.  These are those divine connections I was talking about the other day.  Some of these people may be family and some may be friends.  Whatever title they have in your life, they make you a better you.  When you are sad and going through or finding it hard to have faith in a storm, you can connect to those people and they will have faith for you to help you get through.  Then when you bounce back, they may need to rely on your faith to get through their hard time.  This is what I mean by sticking together and the power that comes with it.  The enemy would have us to be isolated, especially from other believers because we tend to be weaker in our struggles when we are alone.  When we are connected to people who can help lift us up those sad days are shortened.  Which then enables us to shut down the enemy and focus more on fulfilling the plans and purposes that God has for our life.

Yeah it may be hard to let people in your life, especially after being hurt but I am here to tell you that once you have the right folks around you will be so much stronger.  Think about it, even Jesus had a small group of select individuals that He stuck with.  All of which played a vital role in His life here on earth.  The body of Christ must learn to stick together no matter what.  You may not get along with everyone, but with the help of God you will find a select few who when yall come together there will be so much power in your union.  Remember, one can chase one thousand but two can chase ten thousand.  By staying connected, you are more effective.  There is only so much you can do by yourself.  Besides, God never intended for you to take the journey of life all alone anyway.  #iDeclare #WeMustStickTogether

Prayer:

Father God in the name of Jesus, I ask that you would connect me with the right people.  I understand the importance of sticking together, so please Lord help me to know who I should be sticking with.  I decree and declare that I will not allow my past hurt or pain in relationships to prevent me from linking up with the right people who will help strengthen my walk with Christ.  In Jesus name, Amen.
