Build and Sustain Strategic Alliances

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha


Strategic alliances are important to you and your business, career, academics, family, finances and whatever you do in life. This is because no one is an island. People, families, institutions, communities and nations need one another no matter the great unction upon their lives.

Most of the people God will send to help you are not people you know deeply. Please read 1st Chronicles Chapter 13 verses 1 to 4, 10 verses 13 to 14, 2nd Samuel Chapter 5 verse 19. Some people come into your life for a season, a reason and for a lifetime. Discern the purpose and walk accordingly with the team.

However, if the alliances are not strategic to God’s divine purposes for your life, then you do not need them. Relationships which take you away from God, make you sin against God and other people are not beneficial relationships.

It is instructive to associate with people who seek solutions to challenges. It is wisdom to avoid complainers, those who murmur, grumblers, malicious gossips, pity party singers. This is because these people are not seeking solutions. All they want is to compound challenges. Take for instance the trio who murmured against Moses and Aaron and led a rebellion against Moses and Aaron. What was their intention; to resolve the supposedly askew leadership position? Not at all! They wanted rebellion, rebellion against God’s authority as well as create chaos in the camp. God quickly intervened and the end of the trio was terrible.

Additionally, when you compare their case to that of the Hellenists who came to the Apostles to report the case of the askew sharing of food resources in the Early Church, you will discover that the Hellenists sought a solution and they got it as the Apostles quickly intervened and divinely chose the seven deacons to serve tables so they could have ample time to preach the gospel.

Beloved, there are people who do not want solutions to challenges. Why? The moment there is a solution, they will never have anything to complain about again. Beware of such people.

It is also significant and instructive to know that the devil and his cohorts consistently work hard to steal the quality relationships God blesses people with. Ask the Holy Spirit to open your eyes of understanding to this evil and also ask Him to start teaching you how to manage relationships especially the quality ones God blessed you with.

Additionally, do not avoid conflicts. Resolve them peacefully with the help of the Holy Spirit. How well do you know your strategic partners? What shared interests do you have for discussions with them? Make enquiries so that you can be well informed and work at building and sustaining strategic alliances.
