The Law of Relationships !

Anyone who has big dreams wants to be the best he can be. You aim high and you aim for excellence. All you need is a mentor to model the crucial leadership skills you need to succeed. Jesus is your answer! Here are a few of His leadership secrets.

Scripture says, "Let every one of us please his neighbor for his good to edification" (Romans 15:2). Everyone has problems. Our success and happiness in life depends on our willingness to help someone solve their problem. Successful people are simply problem solvers.

Jesus was a problem solver. Thousands were burdened with guilt from sin. Jesus offered forgiveness. People were spiritually starved. He said, "I am the Bread of Life". Masses were sick and full of disease. Jesus went about doing good, and healing all who were oppressed of the devil. Jesus solved problems.

"For you have been called to liberty; only do not use liberty as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another" (Galatians 5:13). Success involves other people. Jesus didn't wait for people to come to Him. Jesus went to people. He did not set up a throne in the middle of the city and say, This is my office where you can see Me. He went to the marketplace. He went to the boats of the fishermen. He went to the synagogue. He went to the homes of the people. Jesus was reachable.

Successful people are reachable. Jesus left comfort and willingly walked into an imperfect environment. But, He walked into the lives of those who needed Him. He went where the people were.

The law of relationship says every person is merely four people away from any other human on earth. Think about it. You know somebody who knows Cliff, who knows Barack, who knows anyone else you want to know. You are already networked with the world. Now leave your comfort zone and go reach the people. Jesus did! We love you!
