So defining the key terms in our topic for this piece, which are “IDEAL RELATIONSHIP”, “BUILT ON” and “PURPOSE”
An Ideal relationship is the coming together of two COMPLETE people to pursue one vision – and if you’re a Christian, it should be a vision that is backed up by the desire to glorify God.
Now, two things to note here:
1) By COMPLETE, I mean two people who already love, know and understand themselves, before they even got into the relationship. That is you loving, knowing and understanding yourself enough to feel complete in yourself, as well as your partner, before coming together in a relationship. And
2) Note that I said A VISION (that is backed up by the desire to glorify God). Where two different visions exist between two people in a relationship, it will always result in DIVISION, and that is a disaster waiting to happen, I tell you! This is exactly what an ideal relationship entails.
The second key word which is “BUILT ON” means to have something as the foundation of another thing, to put something into dear consideration before proceeding with an action. So, when your relationship is BUILT ON purpose, it means that the the desire to fulfill YOUR JOINED PURPOSE, is the foundation of your relationship.
The third key word is PURPOSE and in defining what purpose is, I’ll be quoting Lisa Nichols. According to Lisa; “Your purpose is something you uncover. It is something you contribute to the planet that others wouldn’t get in a certain way, if you weren’t the one giving it.”
So what I get from Lisa’s explanation of purpose in relation to our topic for this video is that, the same way every relationship is unique to their challenges, love and vision, is the same way every relationship is unique to their purpose. In other words, the outflow of purpose that comes from a relationship is unique to that relationship.
Yes, that said, we move to the 3 REASONS YOUR IDEAL RELATIONSHIP NEEDS TO BE BUILT ON PURPOSE:
1) The first reason your ideal relationship needs to be built on purpose is that your relationship is a major aspect of your life that is directly connected to the Glory of God (I don’t know if you understand what that means?), so it cannot afford not to have PURPOSE as its foundation. That is to say that if you’re in a relationship right now, it’s either your relationship is glorifying God through the fulfillment of your purpose, or it’s not.
And if it’s not, my dear, you have some serious reflections to do about that relationship. As a result of this, it is necessary to ensure that the two of you are compatible with each other, not only medically, but also spiritually and purpose-wise. Your compatibility with that person in the major aspects of your life, is key.
The Bible says, can two walk together except they be agreed? No. One Vision, one journey, remember. The Bible also says that two heads are better than one. So in a situation where two heads are not better than one, then my dear, it’s better to stay single.
2) The second reason your ideal relationship needs to be built on purpose is that if you’re a Christian, then you should know that your relationship is supposed to be a Ministry. And by being a ministry, I’m not necessarily saying you have to be pastors or own a church or something of that sort, and yes you should do that if God is leading the both of you to do it.
But what I’m saying is that the both of you have to always be intentional about doing things to glorify God and edifying the body of Christ. {As Christians, it’s our responsibility to advance the kingdom of God and enthrone Christ and His purpose in the hearts of men and across every strata of human activities, so if this is done through your relationship, your relationship automatically becomes a ministry.} – From a Christianity Perspective.
As little as praying together, interceding for others in prayers together, being an example worthy of emulation, etcetera, automatically makes your relationship a ministry that glorifies God.
3) The third and final reason for this video, why your relationship needs to be built on purpose is that you find yourself when you discover your purpose, so if you’re in a relationship with someone and that relationship isn’t built on purpose, then it’s either you’re with the wrong person or one or both of you are yet to find purpose, which is equivalent to finding yourselves.
Remember that you’re coming together to merge your visions and purposes to become one, so what happens when they have not yet been uncovered by the two of you? That’s not a good sign, so I’d advice that you pause,(and if you two need a break from each other, give yourselves one. It’s very important), take your time, find yourselves and your purpose and do ONLY what you’re led by your God to do.
Are we done…? Maybe or maybe not…
