PARTNERSHIP!

Amos 3:3 AMPC

Do two walk together except they make an appointment and have agreed?


We can only walk with those we agree with; walking together is partnering with another to reach a goal agreeable to all parties. There are those with whom we’ve parted ways for personal, business, or spiritual reasons because we no longer agree and can no longer walk together.

There are all kinds of partnerships, but every one of them is rooted in a relationship based on sharing, participation, and productivity, leading to a reciprocal relationship between those who receive a resource and those who give it out to attain a fruitful venture.

What and who do you partner with?

Ecclesiastes 4:9 says two are better than one, that a partnership is infinitely better than working alone because working together leads to more satisfying outcomes. A partnership has an advantage that a solitary person never has. The Bible teaches that true partnership is built on mutual respect and shared purpose. When two people work together with a common goal, their combined strength multiplies. Trust and communication are the foundation of any successful partnership. By supporting each other, partners can achieve more than they ever could alone.

We can partner with other people for business and financial purposes, but do we know that we can partner with the Lord for the spread of the gospel and soul-winning? We either finance the spread of the gospel through ministers, give money to godly causes, tell others about beneficial projects, or join others on a mission or partner with them for someone else to go.

The Philippians’ participation provided financial support that helped Paul spread the gospel (Philippians 4:15, 18). Their partnership in his ministry was the reason he prayed for them with joy.

Do you give to the work of the kingdom?

Do you take time to pray for those on the mission field and the spread of the gospel?

How about putting a fraction of your finances towards helping brethren start a project or business that will change lives and help others?

From the beginning, God designed to us live and work in community, unity and partnership. So why do we often decide to work alone in our ministries? Why do we avoid partnering with others in our local areas knowing that they have the same passion to grow God’s Kingdom?

Luke 5 recounts Peter’s net-breaking fish catch; they beckoned to their partners. Had they not called them to help, the net would have broken, and all the fish lost. What a pity that the body of Christ would rather leave a soul to perish than direct them to a church closer to them because of envy, competition, pride, and selfishness. If they help each other in the spirit of Christian fellowship, more souls will come to the knowledge of the truth.

We could partner with others by recommending someone for something we can’t do or have, as Paul did with Philemon for Onesimus (Philemon 1:17). Paul said to Philemon, “If you see me as a partner and consider me as a friend, do this for me, that is, partner with me to help Onesimus.”

Would you consider partnering with someone today to make a difference?

As much as we love to make progress in every area of life, without partnering with the Holy Spirit, progress will be elusive. The Father knows that a partnership between the Holy Spirit and us will bring His will to pass because the Holy Spirit walks alongside us always (2 Corinthians 13:14) to guide, teach, and help us in every way.

As Paul referred to Titus in 2 Corinthians 8:23, we are co-labourers in Christ. Partnership in kingdom business yields eternal dividends.

PRAYER: Lord God, help me to always remember that everything I have comes from You and that Your business model is profitable to anyone who partners with You. May I always see a need to partner in kingdom business. In Jesus’ name, amen.

IT IS NEVER TOO LATE TO START AGAIN!

Job 17:10-11 GW   "But now, all of you, come and try again! I won’t find one wise man among you.  My days are passing by. My plans are broken. My dreams are shattered."[10]   Life may require us to start again—and it’s never too late to start over. One of life’s certainties is that everyone will experience failure at something at some point. Life is never an unbroken series of victories. Setbacks, losses, and sometimes defeat will happen and may overwhelm us. Defeat may be thrust upon us by circumstance or by others, or we may defeat ourselves by our own thoughts and actions. When this happens, some give up, some persist until they succeed, and others are willing to start over again. Luke 7:11-15 gives the account of the widow of Nain, on her way to bury her only son, crying, distraught after losing another close family member. On the way, Jesus saw her, had compassion, and acted.  The woman must have thought, "Is He kidding? Does He know what I've been t...

DIVINE VISION!

Jeremiah 1:1-11 NASB The words of Jeremiah the son of Hilkiah, of the priests who were in Anathoth in the land of Benjamin, [2] to whom the word of the Lord came in the days of Josiah the son of Amon, king of Judah, in the thirteenth year of his reign. [3] It came also in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, until the end of the eleventh year of Zedekiah the son of Josiah, king of Judah, until the exile of Jerusalem in the fifth month. [4] Now the word of the Lord came to me, saying, [5] “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, And before you were born I consecrated you; I have appointed you as a prophet to the nations.” [6] Then I said, “Oh, Lord God! Behold, I do not know how to speak, Because I am a youth.” [7] But the Lord said to me, “Do not say, ‘I am a youth,’ Because everywhere I send you, you shall go, And all that I command you, you shall speak. [8] “Do not be afraid of them, For I am with you to save you,” declares the Lord. [9] Then the Lord stretch...

RESISTANCE FROM STEPPING INTO PURPOSE!

John 16:33 AMPC I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have [perfect] peace and confidence. In the world you have tribulation and trials and distress and frustration; but be of good cheer [take courage; be confident, certain, undaunted]! For I have overcome the world. [I have deprived it of power to harm you and have conquered it for you.]   Stepping into your God-given purpose is one of the most powerful decisions you will ever make. But it is also one of the most resisted. The Bible makes it clear that whenever God calls a person, opposition rises—externally, internally, and spiritually. Jesus Himself tells us that trials will come, but His victory gives us courage and peace. Every believer must understand this: resistance is not a sign that you’re in the wrong place; it is often proof that you’re stepping into the right one. Everyone called by God faces resistance! Throughout Scripture, the moment people stepped into divine purpose, they faced pushback. ...
