  1. Beloved Charon and God bless you for connecting with us

  2. for our morning glory devotion here and haven't trampled international.

  3. Come Marcy, we are glad that you are able to

  4. join us today. This is Pasta and missus and Massa

  5. and will be facilitating today's episode. Beloved, let us pray well,

  6. thank you and bless you God for this opportunity to

  7. learn from your word. Pray that you teach us and

  8. grant us faith to go and walk according to what

  9. your word says in Jesus' name. A man, let's take

  10. our confession together from Joshua chapter one, the verse eight.

  11. This book of the Law shall not depart out of

  12. my mouth, but I shall meditate in it day and night,

  13. that I may observe to do according to all that

  14. is written in it. For then I'll make my re prosperous,

  15. and then I will have good success a man. The

  16. topic for today is divine connections. Divine connections will take

  17. our scripture reading from Ecclesiastics chapter four, the verse nine

  18. to thirty two. Are better than one because they have

  19. a good reward for their labor. For if before one

  20. will lift up his companion, but wore to him who

  21. is alone when he falls, for he has no one

  22. to help him up again. If two lie down together,

  23. they will keep warm. But how can one be warm alone?

  24. Though one may be overpowered by another, two can withstand him.

  25. And a threefold court is not quickly broken. Provehaps chapter

  26. twenty seven, the verse seventeen, as iron chapains ion, so

  27. a man sharpens the countenance of his friend, a man

  28. divine connections. Our journey in life is deeply rooted in

  29. relationships and divine partnerships. The Bible highlights that God often

  30. accomplishes his purposes through people connected to one another. Indeed,

  31. God's methods are men in God's grand plan. Relate relationships

  32. are not just accidental. They are instruments in His hand

  33. for growth, encouragement, for correction, and for destiny fulfillment. As

  34. we read from Proverbs chapter twenty seven, the verse seventy,

  35. as ion chaplains iron, so a man's charpains the countenance

  36. of his friend. The people we surround ourselves with can

  37. either elevate us into God's purpose or limit our progress.

  38. At every season in our life, God strategical oppositions certain

  39. individuals around us to catalyze breakthroughs and usher us into

  40. new levels and blessings. Indeed, God is the perfect matchmaker

  41. of divine connections. He brings mentors, friends, destiny, help us,

  42. and spiritual leaders into our lives at the right time

  43. to guide, strengthen, and prepare us for what may lie ahead.

  44. God knows that the right people in our corner will

  45. lift us up when we are weak and encourage us

  46. when we are discouraged. Beloved, who is in your corner?

  47. Who do you tend to in times of need? One

  48. key principle for growth is to intentionally align ourselves with

  49. people who are more mature, more wise, and more experienced

  50. than we are. Descriptions encourage us to walk with the

  51. wise so that we may become wise. Indeed, if we

  52. find ourselves always being the most knowledgeable, wisest, or the

  53. best in our circles, it may be an indication that

  54. God is calling us into a new environment, one where

  55. we can be stretched, talk, and inspired by others. We

  56. must not settle for comfort zones that may limit our growth. Instead,

  57. we must seek new environments and circles where we can

  58. be mentored, pasted, and spiritually covered. We must explore relationships

  59. that challenge us to grow into the fullness of God's

  60. calling upon our lives beloved, whether in our academics, careers, businesses,

  61. or in ministry, God places people around us to expand

  62. our capacity and sharpen our vision. I have come to

  63. realize that growth requires a lot of humility, and that

  64. comes by willingness to learn, to be corrected, and to

  65. receive from others. The Bible has many examples or how

  66. God uses transformative relationships to accomplish his purpose. Connection and

  67. loyalty to Naomi positioned her for divine favor and ultimately

  68. placed her in the lineage of Christ. Elijah's connection and

  69. commitment to Elijah granted him a double portion of his mentors,

  70. amounting David found strength and encouragement through Jonathan during seasons

  71. of adversity. David also had his mighty Men, who played

  72. a crucial role in establishing his kingdom. In the New Testament,

  73. Timothy and Silas grew under the mentorship of Paul, becoming

  74. effective ministers of the Gospel. Apollus is another example. Though

  75. very eloquent and knowledgeable in the scriptures, his understanding was

  76. incomplete until Priscilla and Aquila took him aside and expounded

  77. the way of the Lord more perfectly punto him. The

  78. teachers us that no matter how gifted and knowledgeable we are,

  79. there's always a room for growth, and God often uses

  80. people to deepen our understanding and to refine our calling

  81. and our lives. Beloved, God has more for us. Let

  82. us not settle just for where we are. We must

  83. be discerning about relationships we need to build and the

  84. ones we need to let go. We must pay attention

  85. to the leading of the Holy Spirit. We must seek

  86. out for those who challenge us, inspire us, and draw

  87. us cruser to God's purpose. As we align ourselves with

  88. the right people, we position ourselves for divine a celebration

  89. and for lasting impact. May God grant us wisdom to

  90. descend and embrace the relationships that will lead us into

  91. our next level. Men, God bless you. Let's take Armi

  92. in revers for today from Proveraps Chapter twenty seven, the

  93. vers seventeen Proveraps twenty seven the vers seventeen as Ion

  94. chapains iron, so a man sharpens the countenance of his friend.

  95. As Ion chapains Iron, so a man sharpens the countenance

  96. of his friend. A man. Let us pray Father, we

  97. thank you for all the people that you have brought

  98. in our lives to bless us and to help us

  99. go to our next level. We pray that you guide

  100. us through your Holy Spirit, give us sensitivity and descent

  101. to identify more people that you are bringing our way

  102. to day in Chance's name, a man God, bless you

  103. for listening in. We know that you have been blessed,

  104. and we know that you have picked up something to
