Spiritual Associations

The Second one is 

🌠Spiritual Associations 

This term, I formed a close association with a Christian Brother of mine.

We supported each other and built each other.

He knew and understood the word deeper than me

But I had a deeper relationship with the Lord.

He helped me understand the Voice of God better 

We often shared about whatever the spirit would reveal to me and we would come with something Better together.

He made me understand Better God's ways and I Showed him that a relationship with the Lord is Amazing ❤️

We increased each other 💥

Now , 😂 Is this Teaching just about me and my friend ? Nope

I want to enlighten you about certain things...

You see , when you become Born Again( literally declaring with your mouth and Deciding to live by the Teachings in the Bible) The Bible says "You are a new creature" that means that your values changes , your associations , behaviours , thoughts are new( whether you realise this or not)

If you have been around a certain group of people , When you become born Again and Jesus really becomes important to you, You will start to feel disconnected to that group of people which is totally okay and expected , its because you no longer belong there 

You are now a light  and they are still dark .... You are now to help show them the light ( the Life you have moved into) and Definitely by God's Grace , they can accept to be lit by you.

The point is The Kind of people who resonate with you should change and have changed( examine yourself and then you will see that deep down , you desire different associations)

It's very important to know the kind of People you associate yourself with ...If you are around a devoted Born again, You will pick up his light

Around the Dark for a while and your lantern might dim or go off....

Another thing I want to highlight is "Healthy Spiritual Jealousy"😂 if you are a follower of the Lord , you must have felt this

This is where a Brother Has something you want also and this pushes you to associate with them more and also learn from them in that way , You obtain what he has and he also masters what he has by teaching you...

However This feeling doesn't make you think Angry, envious thoughts towards the person

You feel the respect and love for them however it reminds you to also fix certain things in your foundation , understand Scriptures better and Pray more...

When you see a brother Remain calm in a troubling Situation, you also keep calm and ground yourself 

It is like a reminder telling you to calm when you fail to do it yourself 

Slowly, that is how we learn and grow 

Because you belong to this new family, you try to keep at the same pace with them 

Like when working out in a group , you push yourself to be at the same pace with your partners so that you don't drag behind and bother the flow of events 

In the same way, we are motivated to keep at the same pace with our brothers 

When one over takes , we also push harder to correct ourselves

When we see one ahead , we make ourselves better to also get there ( we are inspired to get there)

This goes wrong when we do this just to prove we are better than them( basically putting them down,This is wrong because Love doesn't do that and we are creatures of Love❤️) 

We feel hopeless and unable to improve as if the God we serve is different and he doesn't bless you 

We start to feel down and unblessed , this is not true , we are all blessed even if we just got born again , we have some sound things to say and our prayers are special !!

God doesn't want you to feel that way, he wants us to desire to improve and believe we can improve

🙃 there is so much to say about this but I don't want this to go forever so I will stop here
