SPIRITUAL SYMBIOSIS

October 14, 2016 · Lanre Oyeleke · 2 views

Ecclesiates5:9 Two people are better off than one, for they can help each other succeed.(10) If one person falls, the other can reach out and help. But someone who falls alone is in real trouble. NLT

In biological relationships, symbiosis is a beneficial relationship that exists between two organisms whereby both of them derive mutual benefit from their relationship. That is how relationships should be unlike the parasitic type of relationship that is harmful. There are biblical principles for relationship and I can say that symbiosis is a spiritual pattern to follow.

As believers, your relationship should be such that benefits your life. Let's take marriage as an example, you don't marry a brother or sister because you want to attain a status but because there is a mutual benefit to derive for your purpose and destiny. As a child of God, destiny relationships are better and encouraged. If your relationships don't make you better, then you're in the wrong relationship.

In life, you can run fast alone but you need relationship with the right people to go far. Those that married right can testify to that; if you are weak or cold, it is good to have someone around you that can stir you back to action and to the right path.

Action point

Father, I receive grace to choose the right relationships In Jesus name. Amen
