A lot of people fail to understand that a tree doesn't make a forest, and so they disregard the blessings that come with having partners in their lives. God didn't design man to reach his full aspirations as a lone ranger.
We should however note that the associates we allow into our lives must be good ones, and sadly, the problem of a lot of leaders presently is that they are short of worthy associates.
For this reason, their organizations do not develop to their full potential. Abraham, the father of faith, had worthy partners who were prepared to go to battle with him when the need arose.
The reason of these associates was firstly to be with Him, and secondly, to send them on errands that would lead to the fulfillment of His assignment here on earth.
Just as the Lord Jesus chose the twelve disciples, He has also selected us to be His worthy partners and we must be worthy ones indeed.
We must in the way bear the fruit of the Spirit, so that the Almighty God may be glorified. We must also evangelize and win souls into God’s kingdom.
When we do this, we will have our abundant rewards, which include straight answers to our prayers, and this only is worth more than silver or gold.
