From my experience in ministry, most people who say God led them to a church don’t stick around. I’ve seen this pattern in several churches. The enemy targets relationships that could shape your destiny. You need to protect your divine joining.
Friend, you need to protect your divine joining. The devil is a master at truncating destiny linkages. Protect divine relationships in your life. One of your greatest battles will come from God-ordained relationships. Don’t allow the devil or your flesh to keep you from your destiny (John 6:67-68).
You must learn to manage strife and offences if you hope to fulfil destiny (Genesis 13:7). The purpose of strife is to separate you from God’s best. Like Abraham and Lot, you need some people more than they need you (Genesis 13:5-11). Beware of satanic disconnection.
Every member of the body has a joint and needs a joint to connect to the flow from the head of the body (Ephesians 4:16). Take care of your critical joining if you would fulfil your destiny. Locate your joint and stay joined (Psalms 133:1-3).
The problem most times is not the disagreement but our decisions in times of disagreement (Acts 15:39). Barnabas decided to part ways with Paul and truncated God’s best for him. Don’t let disagreement bring disconnection.
You may not always agree with the person God joins you to, but learn to protect the relationship above the issues of contention. Most disagreements are divinely engineered to test your loyalty and reveal your wisdom or folly (1 Samuel 18:1-3, 23:17, 2 Samuel 1:17-27). It is wisdom to treasure destiny connection above emotionalism.
