God wants to help some people, but He would not because of their friends and associates. It is either the persons sins make it difficult for God to be involved in whatever the fellow is involved in or He knows that if He gives you what He wants to, with that fellow still in your life, it would result in more harm than good. Who are your business partners? Who are your friends? Who is squatting with you in your house? Who are you planning to get married to? You need to choose these people with care. If you choose a business partner who mutters incantations when you are praying, that project is not likely to go well because a house divided against itself cannot stand. Who you associate with is a great determinant of whether God will be silent over your matter or if He will act on your behalf. God told Abraham to leave his fathers house and go to a land He would show him. Unfortunately, Lot Abrahams nephew, went with him. Lot being with Abraham hindered God from delivering the promise to him, but the moment Lot was separated from him, God remembered His promise.
Thank God for His mercy that caused Abraham and Lots men to fight so that Lot could be separated from him. Joshua was experiencing victory upon victory until one day when he faced a small army that defeated him. That day, he had to investigate what made him fail and then he found out that there was a bad egg in his company Achan. After getting rid of Achan, the victories resumed.
Been yoked with the wrong people deprives us of most of the help that are supposed to come our way.
Who we associate it determines the heights we can reach in life, so associating with the right people help us in life.
