WHY I ADVICE YOU BUILD RELATIONSHIPS|| Emerald Sushan Basil

Genesis 47:15
And when money failed in the land of Egypt, and in the land of Canaan, all the Egyptians came unto Joseph, and said, Give us bread: for why should we die in thy presence? for the money faileth.

Money can fail. It happened in Bible days, we have also experienced it in the nations of the earth.

The relationships you have built have a way of preserving you.
The above scripture said, when money failed, they came to Joseph to ask for bread. Why? I will tell you.👇

1. They had a good relationship with Joseph. They could confidently go to him because they know they had built a relationship with him before the famine came.
Note: It is the relationships you have built overtimes that will give you the confidence of survival.

2. Relationship was their access. They had access to Joseph because of the relationship they had with him.
Note: Relationship creates the access door you need to solve any challenge at hand.

3. People suffer more because of lack of good relationships. The brothers of Joseph could have suffered if not for the merciful heart of Joseph. They despised the little beginning of Joseph and could have paid dearly for it if not for mercy.
Note: Never despise anybody no matter how small you think they look today.

Advice: Relationship with people can be your closed doors or your open doors tomorrow depending on how your manage them today.
I have always told people, NEVER DESPISE ANYBODY BECAUSE OF HOW SMALL THEY LOOK TODAY.

Your Brother,
