Relationships are powerful. Every connection you make, whether good or bad has the potential to impact your life’s direction. Many people experience delays in their destiny not because they lack talent, ambition, or faith, but because they are connected to the wrong people.
The Power of Agreement
The Bible teaches us that there is power in unity:
“For where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I with them.” — Matthew 18:20 (NIV)
When people come together in agreement, whether for good or bad there is a spiritual impact. If you are in agreement with someone who operates in negativity, doubt, or ungodly ways, you can unknowingly align yourself with things that are not in God’s will for your life. This can lead to stagnation, distractions, and delays.
Imagine trying to run a race while carrying a heavy weight. That weight represents the wrong relationships, people who drain your energy, lead you away from God’s plan, or keep you entangled in unnecessary battles.
The Importance of Godly Wisdom
Uncle James reminds us to seek wisdom in all things:
“If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.” — James 1:5 (NIV)
No matter how much you love or care for someone, not everyone is meant to walk with you in every season. Some relationships are temporary, while others are divine connections meant to push you forward. This is why discernment is critical.
Not too long ago, the Lord told me to disconnect from a certain person. At first, it was difficult, but I obeyed and let them go. From that moment, blessings began to flow in, and I received divine downloads to continue what I was called to do. That experience showed me just how much the wrong connection can block the blessings God has in store for us.
Life is Spiritual—You Must Be Spiritually Aware
We have to apply spiritual discernment in every area of our lives. There is an ongoing warfare in the spiritual realm, and we cannot be careless with our decisions, our relationships, or our actions.
“For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.” — Ephesians 6:12 (ESV)
The enemy uses people, situations, and distractions to delay, discourage, and disconnect us from our divine purpose. When you are connected to the wrong people, it’s not just a bad relationship—it’s a spiritual attack that can keep you from walking in your calling.
How to Protect Your Destiny from Delays
1. Pray for Discernment – Ask God for wisdom in choosing the right relationships.
2. Evaluate the Fruit – Does this relationship bring peace, growth, and alignment with God’s word? (Matthew 7:16)
3. Set Boundaries – Not everyone deserves full access to your life.
4. Obey God’s Leading – If God is telling you to let go of someone, trust Him.
5. Stay Spiritually Guarded – Put on the full armor of God (Ephesians 6:11) and stay vigilant against spiritual attacks.
Your destiny is too important to be delayed by wrong connections. Align yourself with people who honor God, push you toward your purpose, and walk in wisdom.
Let go of relationships that bring stagnation, and step into the divine connections that will propel you forward.
Who you connect with “MATTERS” and can determine whether you move forward or stay stuck. Choose wisely and remain spiritually alert.
