KEY NUMBER 7
"CHOOSE YOUR COMPANY WISELY"
We’ve heard the expression that we only grow as far as the people who are around us. So if the ones you have the closest proximity to are negative people who diss your ideas and discourage you, how far can you grow?
On the other hand, if you intentionally choose to spend your time with people who are strong Christians who believe in and apply the powerful, sharp, living, active Word of God in their lives, who follow God, then you are likely to increase your own growth and potential. That's why it is written in Proverbs 27:17
"Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend."
I will ask you some questions :
Who are you spending the most time with now?
Do you have some people in your life with whom you can mastermind about your ministry and/or business – people who will encourage and support you, keep you on the right track and accountable, and pray for you?
You need people to surround yourself appropriately for maximum impact in your life :
- Surround yourself with wise (Proverbs 13:20)
- Surround yourself with God-fearing people (Psalm 119:63)
- Surround yourself with Good people (Proverbs 2.20)
You have 3 contagious people to never surround yourself with :
- Surround yourself with encouraging, positive, faith-filled people who see God’s greatness and potential in you and who will cheer you on to the finish line.
- Bitterness is contagious and toxic (Hebrews12:14-15)
- Evil company is contagious (1 Corinthians 15:33)
