Your relationship in life either make you or break you. They never leave you neutral.

Agreement should be the basis of every relationship. Abraham's vision was under pressure and was delayed with Lot and Terah around. Until Terah died, and Lot separated from him, Abraham did not enjoy speed and comfort.

There are certain people in this life that will never allow you to see the fulfillment of your vision except you separate from them. So, right association is a booster of vision.

You have a responsibility to decide the people you walk with. Friendship is by choice, not by force. Many great destinies have been ruined as a result of wrong association. The calamity of Israel in the wilderness was traceable to the mixed multitude in their midst. The people factor is one of the principal factors in the school of vision. Jesus said, "Beware of men."

Anyone who constantly provokes you is an enemy of your vision. People have mistaken walking together for unity. Walking together is not unity. Unity means not being against anyone.

Right association is a natural vision booster. My most valued associates are men and women of God who are called to do the same thing I am called to do. Unity is not leaving your job to hang around others; it is wishing others well, while you face job.
