Posting on her Facebook page, Prophetess Natalie Chido, said there are 10 ways we destroy God-sent relationships such as competition, lack of confidentiality, untrustworthiness, abuse of access, lack of loyalty, we are emotional, unteachable, unreliable, pessimists and unforgiving.
Competing with people the Lord has entrusted us to water, build and help. Competition with people the Lord has sent us to learn from, to position us and to announce us. Also speaking about the dilemmas others have confidentially trusted us with for counsel, for prayer and encouragement.
“We are not loyal stewards with people’s privacy. Sometimes we are put in positions of power and authority even with this spirit of gossip inside us. The spirit manifests even as a Pastor, Journalist and as a church leader. We therefore, destroy relationships by lack of confidentiality”
Untrustworthiness as one cannot be trusted with anything like secrets, money and information can also destroy God-sent relationships. Others are too emotional which can also destroy God-sent relationships because others are easily offended, they take everything personally.
“We move with a deceptive mentality. Stealing their contacts, stealing their money, stealing their ideas, stealing, stealing and stealing. We abuse those we employ, don’t pay them on time, sometimes don’t pay them at all. People cannot trust us with the investment of their time and knowledge. We are abusive and untrustworthy”
“We are easily offended. We take everything personally. Someone writes a status or posts something on social media, we think they are addressing us. We see them online not opening our messages and we assume they are ignoring us. They call us a week before a function we quickly assume we are an afterthought and abscond. We are so self-absorbed and never give people a benefit of doubt”
Lack of loyalty as others become close to people when they think they can draw contacts, grace, money, endorsement from them. We don’t love people. We love what they have and what they can do for us.
“We love what association with them brings not for who they are. We love, pursue, congratulate and hail people privately but in public, we are ashamed of our relationship with them”
Meanwhile, she said, others are unteachable, they know everything and are very defensive. They never listen to anyone or read something with an attitude to learn and add to our knowledge but they read/listen to argue, to look for mistakes and for something to add or remove.
