THE WHO DETERMINES THE WHERE AND THE HOW

This is just another way of repeating the old saying; tell me who your friend is and I’ll tell you who you are. As no man is an island and no one has monopoly of knowledge, it means you need people in your life. Over the years we’ve learned that the best way to learn from other people, their mistakes, their failures, their successes.


The bible said in 1 Cor. 12:11 that God graciously divides gifts to everyman severally as He wills. This means that everybody on earth has unique gifts and talents. For you to be successful, you must cooperate with God and others. Because for life to be meaningful God has a role to play, you have your role to play and other people have their roles to play too. Other people here entail everyone around you-parents, siblings, relatives, classmates, friends, schoolmates, teachers, neighbors and colleagues.


But you need the right people to succeed, to be where you want to be in life. As Mike Murdock says, every relationship is either a deposit or withdrawal in your life. Right relations hip is a deposit while wrong relationship is a withdrawal I. yes your association determines your assimilation and your assimilation determine your output. So associating with the right [people will ultimately determine where you will get to (the top) and how you’ll get there. Therefore associate with those who bring out the best in you, those who believe in you.


Till next time.
