7 PEOPLE YOU REALLY NEED IN YOUR LIFE

One Samuel is worth more than the many friends in your life

7 PEOPLE YOU REALLY NEED IN YOUR LIFE

A BURDEN SHARER

1.      They understand what you are carrying inside or you

2.      They most times have walked where you are walking

3.      They are not intimidated about your vision or mission in life.

4.      They are interested in your fulfillment and are contented with theirs.

5.      A Burden Sharer awakens and inspires you spiritually.

6.      A Burden Sharer makes you feel at peace with that momentous dream God’s given you. (At times you find out that there is someone or some people you share your vision with and you feel at peace, not threatened but secured. Most times these people or persons have had an experience with what you are going or about to go through).

When God gives you a vision, look for a burden sharer else the wrong person will destroy or kill your vision. Sometimes your best friend can be your worst enemy.

Don’t just look for experts; some experts don’t have the experience; look for experts with experience.

You need a burden sharer to take you to the next level. Elizabeth, the mother of John (the Baptist), wife of Zacharias, was a burden sharer to Mary the mother of Jesus (Christ)….(see Luke 1: 26 – 57)

A DREAM MAKER

1.      A dream maker leads you to the height you are suppose to get to but they never even get there themselves. They have never gotten there before. Samuel was a dream maker to Saul (king of Israel).

2.      A Dream Maker helps you clarify your mission in life.

3.      A Dream Maker points you in the right direction. Samuel changed Saul’s life direction. One person’s counsel or advice can change your life forever. You do not need too many people; you just need the right person. What that person tells you can save you a life-time of trauma and going through.

4.      They (Dream Makers) make you go up higher; they challenge you.

5.      A Dream Maker empowers you to go unto new heights. They move you from frustration to successful, from frustrated leader to a successful leader, from frustrated follower to a successful leader.

6.      A Dream Maker stops you from doing small things but moves you to the next big thing.

7.      One Samuel is worth more than the many friends in your life.

A WAY MAKER

Who is a way maker?

A Way Maker is someone who has been there before you.  A Way Maker is generational. A Way Maker thinks ahead of himself/herself. When you are faced with obstructions/obstacles, you need a way maker (someone who has been there before you). A Way Maker clears the way for you.

Sometimes, God brings accomplished people (people who have already achieved their own pursuit or people who are doing well in their own field(s)/rights) into our lives and the help with our lives/visions.

John the Baptist was a good example. He was A Way Maker for Jesus (Christ the Messiah).

You don’t walk the path a way maker has created or channeled and criticize/despise Him or Her. Jesus did not despise or criticize John the Baptist.

1.      Way Makers are like ‘Bulldozers’ – they clear the way for you.

2.      Way Makers change the rules before you appear.

3.      They move heavy stuffs (off (your) the way).

4.      They publicly endorse you

5.      They put their reputation at your disposal or behind you.

A FATHER

1.      A Father takes care of your of your upbringing (They see to your growing up)

2.      A Father is someone who takes you as his own (Esther 2:15).

3.      A Father instructs you.

4.      A Father is concerned and interested in who you become in life.

5.       A Father never wants you to fail.

6.      A Father is someone who has authority over you.

7.      A Father keeps watch over you, no matter your level in life.

8.       A Father is someone you are answerable to.

9.      A Father is someone whose shoulder you can climb and rely on.

10.  A Father is someone who cleanses up your mess.

11.  A Father is supposed to be a pointer to you in life.

12.  A Father is someone you have traits of him in you.

The Father here may not necessarily mean your biological father (the father who gave birth to you). It could be someone who fit the above description in your life. In most cases, our spiritual father is expected to best fit this role in our life.

Everyone needs a Father-Figure in life. Whether or not you have biological parents, you need to get yourself “A Father”. Someone who will guide you, help you in your decision making and lend you help.

Mordecai became Esther’s father (Esther 2 : 7 – 8). Mordecai wasn’t the biological father of Esther but he played the role of a father in Esther’s life. He ensured her growing up and pointed her in the right direction. You will see Mordecai’s efforts in Esther becoming a Queen when you read the story of Esther in the bible.

Another great example is Eli and Samuel. Eli became the father of Samuel by way of responsibility. He became responsible for Samuel’s growing up and his pointer to how to respond to God’s call in his Life.

A father will give the right counsel
