Things that destroy Godly Relationships

The moment we know the Rules of Godly Relationship, its very important that we take some time out to know what we should try to avoid doing or the life when must try to avoid living in order not to destroy the Godly relationship we have.

Things that destroy Godly Relationships

There are many things that destroy Godly relationship, which among them will include:

• Fornication
• Lying
• Unfaithfulness
• Covetousness
• Drunkeness
• and the list is endless.

Other things may include:

1. Wrong attitude to / or perception of the opposite s-e-x.
2. Covetousness destroys life and brings bitterness. This ultimately leads to being parasitic, and having a parasitic relationship is not good at all.
3. Premature timing for relationships can be a kill joy. Timing is a number one rule in Life.
4. Backsliding / poor knowledge of the word of God.
5. When there is no Holy Ghost in any relationship, that relationship is doomed to fail.

The Holy Ghost is a comforter, a friend, a teacher in any relationship. If you ever want to have a great relationship, I will suggest you ask the Holy Spirit for an advice and teaching.

Levels of Relationship

There are various levels of Relationship that you have to be aware of.

• The relationship between God and You.
• The relationship between You and Your Parents.
• The relationship between You and your School / Course Mates / Friends.
• The relationship between You and A FRIEND. (One that is closer than a Brother).
• The relationship between You and that Special ONE (1).

In all your relationships, make sure its Godly and always ask the Holy Ghost to help you out, and stay Blessed.

Rules for a Godly Relationship

As a continuation from the series of the knowing the difference between Friend and fiend, we understood that a friend is someone with who you have a sort of relationship with, while a foe is someone who is a foe or an enemy.

We also went to the extent of asking if there is any rule for a Godly Relationship, and on answering this question, I will yes a "BIG" - YES!!!.

Many people might not find this a s a rule, but I will say that if you are able to adhere to this, you will a better person.

1. Understanding: To be a better friend, you must develop an understanding of who you are dealing with. Understanding your friend is very crucial if indeed you want a lasting relationship.
2. Love: Without overemphasizing this, a relationship without Love is doomed to fail. True Love and not Lust is the engine / life-wire of any TRUE selfless relationship
3. Trust: 
4. Faithfulness

Ok, without sounding very odd, I must say that the Golden Rule that guides all Relationships is LOVE. Love is  when those that are offended go the long way of looking for their offender and makes peace or settles with them, and even go to the extents of giving them their best.

This makes it the most important virtue to have, because any friendship built on Love (selflessness) and not selfishness (lust) will survive the turbulence of life.

The difference between Friend and Fiend

Have you ever asked yourself  this question: What is the difference between Friend and Fiend?
Well, let me share the burden with you, and relieve you of some troubles trying to crack your brain to get the answer.

Now before I try to answer that, I will like you to have a little understanding of the two words -Friend and Fiend.

A Friend

A friend is someone who you know very well and someone you like a lot to hold close to your heart or even if the person is not yet inside your heart, the person is just very close.

A friend can also be said to be someone who can stand in for you when the going goes though; someone who can always lend a shoulder to cry on when you are down.

Okay that said, now lets have a little understanding of who a fiend is.

A fiend

A Fiend according to my small dictionary means: An evil Spirit, a Cruel or wicked person, someone who is diabolically wicked, a very implacable and malicious foe. A foe.... come on.... a foe simply means that a fiend is an enemy!!!!

Ok in case you are still wondering why I asked the question in the first place, let me now tell you that the main difference between FRIEND and FIEND is "R" which stands for RELATIONSHIP.

That said, a Friend is someone who you have a kind of relationship with, be it casual, deep, shallow, strong, or any definition you might give it, but a Fiend is simply a foe - an enemy, and who needs an enemy in their lives? The answer without even you opening your mouth to say it is NO ONE.

Friendship can be both Godly and ungodly, and we are equipped with the required sense of reasoning on what exactly is Godly or ungodly.
The question now is: Are there any set of Rules for a Godly Relationship?

Open Doors

In the Natural course of Child birth, from the moment the fetus is conceived, through the 1st, 2nd and 3rd trimester till the 9th month, there is always a great expectation from the Mother, Father, siblings, Grand Parents and everyone around.

The 9th month comes with the height of the expectations and in Christendom, the 9th month is also significant , because it ushers in a new birth, a new being, a new You.

For me and all the people of RCCG Open Heavens Dublin, this Month is being themed "The Month of Deliverance" or better, "The Month of Open Doors".

Now before you go "Ohhhhhh", let me tell you now that before your doors can ever be Opened, you must be expectant of something!!! So I would be allowed to say that:

My prayer for you as you read this, is that as you step into this new month, "Every door that you have been knocking on and it seems very hard to open, God Almighty - The one who opens a Door and no one can close it, - The one who says YES and it comes to pass, - He alone will open ALL the closed doors in your life."

I await your testimonies. Don't be shy, just know that as you testify, God's blessings will continue to abide in you.

If you are / were born in this month, I say a Big Congratulations to you, and welcome you to the Month of Open Doors, as all doors in your life would be swan OPEN for you as you believe.
