Partnership with God

I heard this in the spirit before I preached on one Pentecost Sunday, “Come into partnership with Me! Watch Me make rivers in the desert and a highway in the wilderness.  Be ready for new things to spring forth in your life!”

I believe this is in the heart of God for everyone who knows Him. He does not want just any relationship, but He wants a partnership! 

A wholesome relationship with God

Apostle Paul knew exactly what it means to have a wholesome relationship with God. He wrote and wished the believers of Corinth in 2 Corinthians 13:14 (NLT), “May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all. Amen.”

It is great if you have known the love of God, and you are experiencing it! It is wonderful if you have understood the grace of God through Christ’s finished work on the cross, and you are living it! But it is awesome if you have been filled with the Holy Spirit, and you fellowship with Him!

‘Fellowship’ is ‘kŏinōnia’ in Greek. It also means ‘partnership, participation and communication.’

The Lord wants your relationship with Him to be a partnership! He wants to be in constant communication and participation in every area of your life – through His Spirit. On the other hand, it is also true that He wants you to be informed and to participate in many things He wants to do on earth in your lifetime – through His Spirit, the Holy Spirit.  


The benefits of your partnership with God

Your partnership with God is the best partnership on earth. In this partnership, you receive all the benefits, and there is no downside to it. See what the Spirit of God (Holy Spirit) would do for you in your partnership with Him:

       He gives you assurance of salvation in Christ (see Romans 8:16)
       He is the guarantee of your inheritance in Christ (see Ephesians 1:13-14, Romans 5:5)
       He speaks to you (see Acts 8:29; 1 Timothy 4:1; Revelations 2:7, 11)
       He opens your understanding to the things of God (see 1 Corinthians 2:12)
       He teaches and guides you into all truth (see John 16:13; 1 John 2:27)
       He enables you to pray God’s plan for you (see Jude20, Romans 8:26-28)
       He enables you to worship in spirit and in truth (see John 4:23-24; Philippians 3:3)
       He imparts and give life to you (see John 6:63; 2 Corinthians 3:6)
       He brings about regeneration and renewal in your life (see Titus 3:5)
       He enables you to put fleshly deeds to death (see Romans 8:13)
       He strengthens your inner man/spirit (see Ephesians 3:16)
       He leads you into God’s perfect will (see Romans 8:14)
       He produces Christ-likeness and His fruit in your character (see Galatians 5:22-23)
       He gives you spiritual gifts (see 1 Corinthians 12:11)
       He empowers you to be witness of Jesus Christ (see Acts 1:8)


Your partnership with God always brings forth new things

Isaiah 43:18-19
Do not remember the former things, nor consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing, now it shall spring forth; shall you not know it? I will even make a road in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.

Road/highway is ‘meçillâh’ in Hebrew, from the root word ‘çâlal’ which also means to mound up, to raise up, to exalt.

Rivers is ‘nehar’, from the root word ‘nâhar’ that has the same meaning as to flow together, to be cheerful, to sparkle.

You see, in an intimate and active partnership with God, many new things will be brought forth. There will never be a ‘dead-end road’ situation for you. You will experience new ways of thinking and doing things, new ventures, new places… As a result, you will see yourself being ‘mound up’ and lifted from difficult situations. As you flow with Him in partnership, there will always be new cheer and joy. People around you will see you shine and excel in the things you do.

So, have an intimate time everyday talking to God and praying in the spirit. Be ready to hear what He wants to share and reveal to you. In your partnership with God, there is no end to what He can show you and give you!
