BREAKING UNHEALTHY RELATIONSHIPS

The same way we have killer diseases such as cancer, HIV/AIDS and so on. We also have killer diseases of the soul, of which unhealthy relationships is an integral part of.
One thing people have failed to recognize is that relationships play a vital role in our lives; it determines between success and failure, poor and rich, it determines our ultimate destiny. It either makes or mars us.
Show me your friend and I will not only tell you who you are, I ill also predict what you ill become. If you were asked to write down the seven closest people to you, who would they be? Will they look like the future you desire? If they do not then they are not worthy to be on that list.
Anthony Robbins a professional speaker and psychologist wanted to become a billionaire, at that time he was already a millionaire. After like one year of setting that goal, he never attained it, so he decided to seek mentorship from a billionaire. On getting there, the billionaire mentors asked him if his seven closest friends were billionaires and guess what? They weren’t. So he decided to change his friends to billionaires. After he did in less than one year he became a billionaire. That’s the power of relationships. Therefore I make bold to tell you that some relationships are vision blockers and vision blurters.
Relationship is not by force, it is by choice. One thing I have come to realize is that intuitively we know those relationships that are unhealthy in our lives- the best thing you can do to those relationships is to break them. For instance, any relationship that is built on sex should be broken without a second thought. There is no need for painting the truth.
Any relationship that is generally abusive either (physical, verbal or sexual abuse) is unhealthy and should therefore be broken. It is only on this planet I see men beat up ladies and call it love; they say love cannot grow without a fight. That is a lie from the pit of hell, which is immaturity in its highest level. Cut off if you like your life.
Love is not symbiotic i.e. give and take but relationship should be. Any relationship that is not symbiotic is most times parasitic. Any relationship that is not improving you is not worth it. Quit!
Let him or her that has an ear hear. But please any relationship that you want to break shouldn’t be done arrogantly but with wisdom. Because you might need to pass through a door again you shut violently. Be wise!

THE GOD OF THE BAD BOYS

People tend to believe that God is only a God of the righteous and holy people. But against popular belief, God is also a God of the bad boys. And this has been proved from the history of man.
Even Jesus himself said he came for the sinners, He said people that are hail and hearty do not need doctors, rather those that need doctors are the unhealthy. If you lost a coin out of hundred, scripture speaking, won’t you light up a candle, take a broom and search for it? Will you because of ninety nine forget about one?
I wouldn’t know why, but I know that God always has a soft spot for bad people- Almost all of Jesus’ disciples were bad boys before they became disciples. Zacheaus was a tax collector but Jesus dinned in his house and that of so many other sinners. Paul of tarsus was a persecutor of Christians but became an instrument in the hand of God. You could term him- “From persecutor to propagator of the gospel”.
David was an adulterer, a stunk one at that but the bible describes him as a man after God’s heart. God uses the foolish things of this world to confound the wise.
God does not consult your past to determine your future. God is not a respecter of persons he is always in the ministry of turning useless to useful, trash into treasure, mess into message and dirt into identity.
Remember, whatever enters into the hand of God is no longer bad. In fact, God does not call the qualified, he qualifies the called.
If we come to this truth, we will no longer condemn people; we will no longer feel that we are better than others. We will accept every body in the house of God. We will truly be converted and come back to God. There is no kind of person God has not used- Fornicator, adulterer, drunk, smoker, blasphemer, murderer, fraudster or whatsoever you may be into. And there is no kind of person he cannot use.
The more reason why God needs you as a bad boy/girl is so that your experience can become a message to turn others to him.
Just like the father of the prodigal son, God is always with open arms waiting for you to come in. He is not far, you are the one that is- Draw near to him, and you will find that he is where you left him.
