The power of connection By Rev Dereck Chunda

The Bible is full of people who tapped into the power of supernatural increase simply by connecting with right people, people of value! Laban, when he connected with Jacob, was able tell the difference. Look at what he says in Gen 30:27

And Laban said to him, "Please stay, if I have found favour in your eyes, for I have learned by experience that the LORD has blessed me for your sake.

He learned by experience that God had blessed him because of Jacob. What a powerful testimony by a non-believer! What is even more interesting is the fact that Jacob was materially poor when he first came to Laban as he was running away from his brother Esau because the only thing he had was a staff! (Gen 32:10). Therefore, it is important to follow the blessing on someone and not necessarily his material possessions.

Lot prospered because of his connection with Abraham. When he disconnected himself from Abraham and joined himself with wrong people, he lost everything he had including his wife and ended up in a cave with his two daughters! Elisha obtained the double portion of the anointing because of his association with Elijah. Pharaoh and the whole land of Egypt were saved from perishing because of Joseph. We can go on and on, the examples are too many of people, both past and present, who prospered because of connecting with right people.

Whatever you are trying to do, there are some people who can help you because they have done it before. The Bible says there is nothing new under the sun (Eccl 1:9-10). All you have to do is to take your time to locate them. There are God ordained people all around you who can help you. As you learn how to spot and connect with blessed people you will sooner or later begin to experience the blessing upon your life as well.

The Bible says in Prov 13:20

He who walks with wise men will be wise,
But the companion of fools will be destroyed.

Again the Bible says in Eccl 4:9-10

Two are better than one
Because they have a good reward for their labour…..
But woe to him who is alone when he falls,
For he has no one to help him up.

Never walk alone in the journey of life. Again, it matters whom you walk with. These principles are true whether you agree with them or not. These principles are true whether in America or Africa or Europe or any other place. These principles are true whether in ministry or marketplace or politics or any field. I have seen it in work in my life and I am seeing it work even right now, how God is using people to bless me and cause supernatural increase to come my way. You will be the next one, just try it!
