The Power Of Connection:
Who Are You Connected To? - Part 1
I hope you have heard or experienced power
black-outs? For a current to flow in any electric grid,
there should be a complete circuit. Both the posi-
tive and negative charges have to be in motion. The
voltage passing through the wire in the conduit can-
not be under-estimated if there is connection. One
of the proofs of connection is action. You will see
light, hear sound, feel some smell, heat emission or some movement.
Basically, we should be reminded that different materials have varied
conduction abilities. Copper, Silver and Gold ( would be likened to a pro-
fessing believer of Truth) are one of the best conductors. We have semi-
conductors (silicon material –likened to lukewarm biblically) and poor con-
ductors (Insulator – likened to unbelieving world) too. But there is hope for
unconnected (un-believer, sinful) individuals who turn back to Christ Jesus!

One of the malefactors on the cross surrendered his life to Jesus. A di-
vine connection just happened there. What did Jesus do? He promised
Him a place in Paradise that very day. And Jesus said to him, "Assuredly, I
say to you, today you will be with Me in Paradise." Luke 23:43- NKJV. Glo-
ry to God!
There is Hope for any Unbeliever Who Turns To Jesus in Re-
pentance! Faith in Jesus Christ would make these „insulators‟ power-
ful „conductors‟. This could only happen when one is still in this world (in
human body). There is no such privileges beyond this earthly life. It is
written: "Come now, and let us reason together," Says the LORD, "Though
your sins are like scarlet, They shall be as
white as snow; Though they are red like crim-
son, They shall be as wool. If you are willing
and obedient, You shall eat the good of the
land; But if you refuse and rebel, You shall be
devoured by the sword"; For the mouth of the
LORD has spoken.” Isaiah 1:18-20- NKJV.

Usually, there is so much excitement whenever there is power connec-
tion especially in places prone to power shortages.
There is some form of connection (human to human.) Improper
(lukewarm) connection would cause animos-
ity between them. Whenever you see peo-
ple or communities clash, it is an indication
that there is a missing link. Love is the glue
that connects (binds) people together
causing them to stay in harmony with
one another. What is happening in Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo
where two tribes have been at loggerheads for several decades is very sad.
Innocent people have suffered for long without any good reason. Displace-
ments of people by war lords should cease. Those who cherish God‟s
Word (Love) and obey it are the true instruments of peace everywhere.
They become the carriers of True Peace!
Connections would be either positive (beneficial) or negative. Positive
connections are life-giving (empowering) whereas the negative ones lead to
turmoil and eventually death. Godly leaders must be peacemakers!

The word Abide is a powerful word that would immensely transform
people’s lives if it is well understood and adhered to. Abide basically means
act in accordance with. To effectively abide means one has to surrender
some things that the other party might not find welcome or tolerate.
Those who truly turn to Jesus in repentance have their names
written in the Book of Life. That is the Wise decision ever made!
“Then I saw a great white throne and Him who sat on it, from whose
face the earth and the heaven fled away. And there was found no
place for them. And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before
God, and books were opened. And another book
was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the
dead were judged according to their works, by the
things which were written in the books. The sea
gave up the dead who were in it, and Death and
Hades delivered up the dead who were in them. And they were judged,
each one according to his works. And Hades were cast into the lake of
fire. This is the second death. And anyone not found written in the
Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire. Rev. 20:11-15- NKJV.

Those who are connected to the right source manifests certain fruits
(qualities) in their lifestyle including Love, Peace, Joy, Patience, Meek-
ness, Kindness, Faithfulness, Self-Control and Goodness. It is written:
“Righteousness and justice are the foundation of Your throne; Mercy
and truth go before Your face.” Psalms 89:14.- NKJV.
If you want heaven to take you seriously, never compromise Right-
eousness and Justice for any substitute, for they are the foundation of
God‟s throne. We must allow them to take root in our hearts and
govern us.
In the Old Testament the Word Covenant
would help us have deeper meaning of connec-
tion. God entered a covenant with Abraham so
that He would be set apart for His work. God’s
plan for Abraham was that he would train him to
have a different lifestyle (approach) towards life
unlike his contemporaries. One of the promises
God gave to him was a son (Isaac).An illustration of Abraham
admiring his son Isaac at birth.

God loves excellence. His values are higher than ours. He wants to lift
all His people to higher level of wisdom, insight and understanding than
where they presently are. There is a call to embrace His values. He says,
“For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts
of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.” Jer. 29:11 –NKJV
Any connection to evil brings people down re-
gardless of their position in society or life. It is
believed the might Roman Empire came to its
knees due to immorality. Think about it! The evil
one promotes pride. Pride comes before a fall.
Whoever is not fully connected to God is
linked to the evil one by default. No one ap-
plies to be connected to the evil one. Most people think they are properly
connected while they are not due ignorance. The moment one defies
God’s WILL (authority) automatically lands in the enemy’s camp! We must
wisely choose where we want to spend our eternity!

It is possible to know who one is connected to by scrutinizing their words,
thoughts and actions. It is written: "You will know them by their fruits. Do
men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles?
Matthew 7:16
Re-connection Prayer:
Dear Heavenly Father, I come to you con-
fessing that I am a sinner. I ask you to for-
give all my sins and set me free. I turn my
back against sin and the evil one and ac-
cept Jesus Christ as my Lord and Saviour
now! Write my name in the Book of Life.
Fill me with your Holy Spirit and Power to be a faithful witness of
the Gospel of your Son Jesus. Thank you for saving me. In Jesus’
name I pray and believe. Amen!
