I don’t know about you, but I used to think that breaking up was bad. But as I matured spiritually, I realized that my breakups were breakthroughs.
The few relationships I had to break off and break-up was a breakthrough for me. Once I saw that the person wasn’t fit for me or God showed me something regarding the relationship, I made the decision to break it off and break-up.
Every time there was a break-up, I experienced a breakthrough. Sometimes it was a breakthrough in my finances, a breakthrough in my business, a breakthrough in my emotions, I mean it felt like a whole weight lifted off of me.
A dating relationship can be bondage if it’s not a righteous relationship.
The word righteous refers to being rightly aligned or in position. Simply doing what’s right based on God’s standards. 2 Corinthians 5:21 KJV says, “For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.”
The word righteous is talking about doing what’s right based on God’s standards. What is a righteous relationship? A righteous relationship is one that is in right standing with God. It’s aligned to God’s standards, God’s nature, and God’s principles. In other words, having God’s approval. A relationship that is Christ-centered is a relationship that draws you closer to God. It’s not a relationship that will deter you away from God or a relationship that is self-centered.
Psalm 84:11 KJV says, “For the Lord God is a sun and shield; the Lord will give favor and glory, for no good thing will He withhold from the one who walks uprightly.”
If the relationship ain’t good, most likely it probably doesn’t have God’s approval.
Hebrews 12:1 says, “lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us.”
A bad relationship is a weight that will weigh you down and you can’t run your race all weighted down. You can’t build if you are bound. Some people are barren because they are bound. Some people are stagnant because they are in the wrong relationship. Some even think they are waiting on God but God is waiting on them to break-up so that they can break through.
God sent Jesus to set the captives free. Jesus died so that we could be free from sin, free from bondage, free from toxicity, free from bad relationships. The bible says who the son has set free is free indeed.
The bible also tells us that God will provide a way of escape. So if you are in a bad relationship that you don’t know how to get out of, God will make a way of escape for you. Just ask Him. Scripture says that you have not because you ask not. Jesus said, “I’m the way.”
If you need a way out, just look to the Lord and ask for help.
For some people, God may have already made a way but they didn’t take it. If God makes a way of escape and you don’t take it, that means you are in what you are in because you wanna be, not because you have to be.
But for those of you who wanna be free and wanna fulfill your destiny, right relationships do matter. Who you marry does matter. If it didn’t matter, God wouldn’t have given us instruction and direction regarding relationships.
If you are in a relationship that’s not good for you, if you are in a relationship that is toxic, if you are in a relationship that is unequally yoked, if you are in a relationship that you know is pulling you down or the relationship is pulling you away from Christ, you need to break it up so that you can breakthrough.
Ending a relationship is never easy but I pray God gives you the courage and boldness to break-up. Nothing is worth your freedom in Christ. Nothing is worth your peace. Nothing is worth your destiny.
God wants you holy and happy!!!
If your bae is bondage, a break-up isn’t ah bad thing, its ah breakthrough!
