There are kingdom principles that govern the operation of God upon the earth. These laws can be understood and practised within your personal life. When applied, these principles produce miracles and outstanding results. In 2Chronicles 16:9a the Bible says, “for the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to shew Himself strong on behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward Him”. The above quote tells us that God is in the business of looking for people with whose lives He will prove a point and show His strength. He is looking for vessels through which His immortality and quality of life will be made manifest on the earth. If we let this happen, we will know Him better and do exploits in our respective lives.
If you desire to function with God and see days of heaven on earth, the first principle you must know is to have no other God than the Lord Almighty. In plain terms, God must not just be a Source but your only Source of total supply. He will bring relationships that will serve as divine channels into your life and through them, you will enjoy divine supply. The Bible says, “and not holding the Head, from which all the body by joints and bands having nourishment ministered, and knit together, increaseth with the increase of God (Colossians 2:19). Here on earth, God uses joints (relationships)-the coming together of two individuals or the bringing together of a network of people- to get across divine supply. Every supply from heaven flows through a human channel. God through relationships will always bless either one or all the parties involved.
If you look carefully into your life, you will agree that preceding every advancement or breakthrough in life, God always brings our way relationships that serve as conduit of the breakthroughs. These blessings come through joints- a relationship or network of people- you are engaged with today. And so, making God your source does not deny you anything. It rather brings into your space relationships that are carriers of your divine blessings. God should be your Source. Relationships within your life are just His channels. Let this sink into you deeply. Never treat a channel as your Source. Profitable relationships come into your life only when you give God the rightful place as your Source. If someone else occupies this space, you hinder divine manifestations. Healthy relationships are offshoots of our commitment to seeing Jesus Christ as our Source in all areas of life. Some people feel they are being cheated and are victims of certain relationships. This in most cases is because they are totally dependent on human beings. And the natural man has the tendency of exploiting you once he finds out that you are either vulnerable or gullible. God is your true Source and He will lead you to the human channel He has chosen to bring forth His blessing in your life.
Once you make Him your Source, it is almost like your environment becomes purified. The wrong people in your life give way for the right people- healthy relationships. This happens because you are not leaning on clutches; rather, you are looking to God alone as your Source. This standpoint propels divine manifestations in life. The first law is to make God your Source. We cannot ever overemphasis this point. It is the bedrock of all exploits you will ever do as a Christian. No matter the turn your life takes, you must always turn to God alone. It is a decision you alone can and must take.
You must make up your mind not to disclose anything to anybody who is not directly concerned with that particular issue you are faced with. For instance, if it is a parent- child challenge, both parents can come together and talk to God about it because there is a common ground which is the best interest of the child. But where the issue has nothing to do with a second party, you will be wise if you turn it over to God alone. Show God that you trust in Him enough by not disclosing your issues to any other person besides Him. When you do, He will give you direction on how to tackle your challenge. This will lead you to the necessary steps you need to take to achieve your goals.
In conclusion, let no one take His place as the Source of your total supply. Do not look to your environment and human networks as sources or for answers. Look to God alone and you will find divine supply. Turn your heart to Him because only Him can resolve the issues within your life. By His power, you will find His plan and purpose fulfilled in your life.
