Topic: THE POWER OF ASSOCIATION
Biblical Text: “ And because he was of the same craft, he abode with them, and wrought: for by their occupation they were tent makers”. [Acts 16:3]
Have you noticed that for husband and wife that have lived together for a number of years; they begin to resemble each other. That is part of what the power of association can do. You begin to resemble who you associate with. When Paul departed from Athens and came to Corinth; he associated with Aquila and Priscilla. Association can mean to unite with another in an act. It can also mean a companion, friend or acquaintance. Paul, Aquila and Priscilla were of the same occupation- tent making. This association paid spiritual dividends in the lives of Aquila and Priscilla. They knew more about Jesus as they listened to Paul’s teaching of the kingdom of God to the Jews and the Greeks. Because of what they learnt from Paul, they were able to also teach Apollos who knew only about the baptism of John. They expounded to him the way of God more perfectly and God used Apollos mightily; see what association can do! Aquila and Priscilla were able to make generational impact because they associated with Paul. In fact, your level in life is dependent on your association. You become who you associate with. If you are in the wrong association break it off, so that your life does not end in the wrong direction. Some distressed men decided to associate with David and in later years, all of them became mighty men. Associate with true believers, you will end up being great!
KNOW IT ∞ Your association makes you or mars you.
READ IT ∞ Acts 16:28, Romans 16:3, 1 Samuel 22:1-2
PRAY IT ∞ Father, give me the grace to break off from every wrong association.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR ∞ Amos 1-3
