Proof Of Ownership
‘So I bought the field at Anathoth, paying Hanamel seventeen pieces of silver for it. I signed and sealed the deed of purchase before witnesses, weighed out the silver, and paid him’ Jer.32:9-10
The Word of God came to Jeremiah to buy a certain land from his cousin. Jeremiah did not handle this task shabbily. He was diligent about the task being careful to treat every detail with importance.

God is God
God is God and there is nothing anyone can do to change it. Whether you ignore Him or acknowledge Him, God remains God. Whatever He says happens just as He says it will. He does what He pleases and nobody can question Him. God chooses to lift one up and pull down another. Everything He does is in Read the rest of this entry
Fill The Void
‘Don’t be drunk with wine, because that will ruin your life. Instead, be filled with the Holy Spirit’ Eph.5:18
The mistake a lot of us make is that, even though we really cut-off from toxic relationships, we neglect to fill the void. When you cut off, it creates a void, particularly if you had emotional connections to that relationship. ‘Don’t be drunk with wine, because that will ruin your life. Instead, be filled with the Read the rest of this entry
Filter Connections II
‘…Take your choice of any section of the land you want, and we will separate. If you want the land to the left, then I’ll take the land on the right. If you prefer the land on the right, then I’ll go to the left.” Gen.13:9
It was after Jacob confronted Laban that he was able to access the next step of the toxic relationship [Gen.30:25]. In some cases, the next step might be to can the relationship.

Filter Connections I
‘Finally Abram said to Lot, Let’s not allow this conflict to come between us or our herdsmen. After all, we are close relatives!’ Gen.13:8
When a relationship becomes unhealthy, you need to filter it by the help of the Holy Spirit. There are three ‘C’s’ used in filtering connections; these ‘C’s’ will help inform the questions you should ask the Holy Spirit. The three ‘C’s’ are Confront, Can, or Cut-off. When you are faced with an unhealthy relationship Read the rest of this entry
Flush Every Excuse
But they all began making excuses. One said, ‘I have just bought a field and must inspect it. Please excuse me.’ Another said, ‘I now have a wife, so I can’t come’ Luke 14:18&20
An excuse is the greatest barrier to opportunity. You cannot be free from what you keep making excuses for. Every time you come up with an excuse for an unhealthy relationship, you stay yoked in that relationship. Regardless of how great the opportunity God is bringing your way may be you can shut it down with Read the rest of this entry
Unhealthy Baggage
‘Everything is pure to those whose hearts are pure. But nothing is pure to those who are corrupt and unbelieving, because their minds and consciences are corrupted’ Titus 1:15
Relationships are like baggage, not all are necessarily bad. However, the toxic ones have a way to deterring your pilgrimage. Relations are crucial to your destiny and its fulfillment. ‘The godly offer good counsel; they teach right from wrong. The wicked wait in ambush for the godly, looking for an excuse to kill Read the rest of this entry
Discern Your Relationships
‘Corrupt people walk a thorny, treacherous road; whoever values life will avoid it’ Prov.22:5

It is possible that you will make Read the rest of this entry
Unhealthy Links
‘Yes, a person is a fool to store up earthly wealth but not have a rich relationship with God’ Luke 12:21
As human beings, we are wired for relationships. Yes, the company that you keep is very crucial. The need for relationships dates back to the day a child is born. The first thing doctors do is to hand the child to its mother for cuddling. There is a lot of scientific research that shows dysfunction in the children Read the rest of this entry
Unhealthy Relationships
‘Don’t be fooled by those who say such things, for bad company corrupts good character’ 1Cor.15:33.
‘Don’t fool yourselves. Bad friends will destroy you’ 1Cor.15:33 [CEV]. It is interesting that God is emphasizing to us the aspect of deception as relates to unhealthy relationships. In other words, we can easily be deceived into believing that we can hang out with the wrong group of people and still remain Read the rest of this entry
