The Company

2 Chronicles 20:37, "Then Eliezer son of Dodavahu of Mareshah prophesied against Jehoshaphat, saying, Because you have joined Ahaziah, the Lord will destroy your works. So the ships were wrecked and unable to go to Tarshish." [Amplified bible]

Bad company corrupts good morals, and like we have seen in our lead scripture today, bad company also leads to the destruction of the good works you may have done.
The Bible warns us not to neglect unequally yoked with non-believers.
This in not to mean that we will not relate or socialize, no, it speaks about committing yourself to a union that may lead to a certain proposed achievements.
Christianity is one of the MOST EXCLUSIVE religions and also one of the MOST INCLUSIVE religions too. It therefore requires a lot of wisdom to balance its inclusivity and its exclusivity.

One example of its exclusivity is that, there is only one God, this means and makes all other gods idols or nothing. If we are not talking about Jehovah, then we are not talking about the real God. Some people try to massage others by tellingvthem that, "no, we may be talking about the same God but using different names for them", that is not Christianity.
Another exclusivity is that if you are not a Christian, if you have not accepted Jesus as your LORD and Savior, then you can be sure you are headed to a very fiery place called hell. There is no two way about it. And talking about ways, another exclusivity is that Jesus said, "I am the way of truth that leads to life, NO ONE COMES TO THE FATHER EXCEPT by me". This excludes any other means you may think of!
It is inclusive in that anybody and everybody is welcome! You can enter, study it and preach it in any language. Some religions demand that you must sit down and be taught a certain specific language, but in Christianity, you don't need to know Jesus' mother tongue to qualify for anything.

In Christianity, as long as you are born again, you are a saint and you can become anything you want in the kingdom, regardless of your background, education, or occupation, in some religions, there are classes and demarcation between classes of people and what they can do or achieve.
In Christianity, just by being born again, you become a child of God which means that by extension you become a god. In other religions it is a offense punishable by death to even think or say that God has a child let alone claiming to be one of them. In other religions, if you call yourself a god, you are branded either crazy or blasphemous.
But this is who we are!

We are gods, and gods do not marry humans, they marry gods. This is why Israelites were encouraged to only marry within Israel. Not because there were no beautiful girls outside Israel, but because God had already said, "Israel is my son".
We watch movies and think it is funny, sometimes unfair, when two kings "force" their children to marry from royal families. But that is the exclusivity of royalty. A prince was always expected to marry a princess. And you had to have special qualities like Cinderella, for you to qualify to marry a prince when you are not royalty.
When we are born again, we are adopted into royalty. We are expected to learn the etiquette of the high and mighty. There are some things that you can't speak or say when you are born again!

You cannot say, "I can't do this", because you are more than a conqueror! You cannot say, "I am sick ", because by the stripes of Jesus you were healed! You cannot say, "poor me", because Jesus became poor so that you may be rich! You cannot say, "I am tired", that would be insulting Jesus who came to give you rest! You cannot say, "I am cursed", because Messiah (which means the anointed, the blessed) is in you and youvin Him! You cannot say, "I am bewitched", because God has sworn that no witchcraft or divination can work against you. You cannot say, "I fear their arsenal", because No weapon formed against you can prosper!

These and many more are things you are taught in the kingdom. They are called the etiquette, or kingly table manners. How to walk and talk. How to frame your words, how to address people and what to wear for what occasion.
God has placed earthly kings around us, so that we may learn from them as pertains to spiritual kings, kingdom and kingship. I tell you the truth, whatever you see the earthly princes and princesses enjoying physically, is your portion in the spiritual realm. And you have the ability within you to convert your spiritual status to your physical status.
This is why, you cannot associate or be a companion to a person that thinks otherwise of you. You cannot keep company with people who think you live in the clouds. When David was about to kill Goliath, the Bible says that when his brothers heard the question he was asking, they rebuked him. But he moved away from them, went to another group and asked THE SAME QUESTION. And he was given the same answer and brought before the king.
When Joseph started dreaming big and confessing big things, his brethren thought he was just but a proud, arrogant brat. God had to separate him from them and take him to people who would believe in him.

I came this morning to tell you that, you may need to be separated from those who can't see your dream come true, to be enjoined with people that believe you are anointed!
Joseph may have been a slave to portiphar, but the Bible says that Portiphar realized that he had a certain favor and whatever he touched prospered! So he left him in charge of everything in his house, exceptcthe wife. Joseph may have been a prisoner, but the Bible says that, the warden saw that there was favour upon him, and so, he made him in charge of all other prisoners.

Some of you receiving these broadcasts are in the Middle East, away from your relatives and away from Christianity sometimes, I came to encourage you to seek why God separated you from your "loved ones". Some of you have children back at home, if you will not know why God separated you, then all these lonely nights you have and lonely days you spend will be in vain. Some of youvthink you went there to make money, but God will prove you wrong. You may find out that whatever you send home to be kept safe is being misused and you will come back to nothing. I am sorry, but this may just be God telling you, that His purpose to separate you, was not for you to amass money in bank accounts!
Many come back and are in tears, a lady came back to find all the money she sent to her mother was no where to be seen. But when you understand the reason for your separation, you will understand the status of your elevation.

I have come to understand that, every time you try being comfortable where God didn't intend you to dwell, there will always be a nasty shake up. If my family was as good to me as I wanted them to be, most probably I wouldn't be preaching to you as I am. But God brought a shake up, and from all that rejection, He converted me into an injection, do that whoever comes close to me shall receive a jab, that might heal them.
Shalom and keep the faith.
