Topic: The Tragedy of Relationship Breakdown
[Seeds of Destiny 21 March 2019 Devotional]
Every buoyant relationship is serviced by communication; the more buoyant the relationship, the more buoyant the communication.
SCRIPTURE: Pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. 1 Thessalonians 5:17-18 (NIV)
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Prayerlessness is proof of relationship failure with God.
Every buoyant relationship is serviced by communication; the more buoyant the relationship, the more buoyant the communication.
Every time there is a relationship breakdown, communication also breaks down. Frequency of communication is proof of lively communication. This is why when two people are in courtship, they talk to each other almost always. Every time your communication with your husband, wife, friends, etc. breaks down, your relationship with them also breaks down. Whenever you see a husband and wife who are not in talking terms with each other, something is wrong.
Sometime ago, I heard a story of a man and his wife who were not talking to each other. Every time the man wanted to talk to his wife, he would write a note. For example, when he wanted to eat, he would write, ‘Where is my food?’ The wife would also reply through a note, ‘Your food is ready.’ This was how they kept living their lives. So, one day, the man wanted to travel and wrote a note to his wife, ‘Wake me by 7:00am, I have a flight to catch.’ When it was 7:00 am, the wife wrote a note, ‘Wake up, it is 7am; go and catch your flight.’ She dropped the note and then the flight time came and passed but the man was still sleeping because the note could not talk. When he woke up, he was angry because he had missed the flight. This happened because he was not in talking terms with his wife. How sad!
Every time relationship failure happens, communication breaks down, and inconveniences follow. So, prayerlessness is proof of relationship failure with God. Every time a person is no more praying as he should, his relationship with God is failing; and relationship failure can lead to hardship in life.
Beloved, do not be a victim of relationship breakdown. Talk to God and to people always.
