Every place where humans are gathered has potential relationship problems that surface over time. But as a child of God, you must develop good listening skills. Why? The Bible says in Proverbs 13:20 that anybody who answers a matter before he hears it displays folly and shame.
It takes a lot of work to succeed and keep going strong in anything God has called a person to do, not only ministry-wise. And that requires you to manage your charisma well. Learn more about this leadership piece.
In Matthew 7:3-5, Jesus said it is hypocrisy to point out another man’s faults and neglect your own. In other words, don’t think you are so perfect that there’s nothing wrong with you to correct. I tell you that the best version of you is yet to be seen. There is more to do and more to learn.
There is one thing I want to say about mothers, predominantly Christian mothers. It’s how they keep praying for their children and husbands. It’s such an awesome practice. But there’s something called praying the right way for your child as a mother.
God did not call you to add issues to where He helped you get your work. Your addition to that team should bring relief instead of pain. So, when a problem arises, you must have the courage to solve it, rather than turning on an idle attitude.
Do you live with both of your parents married for years? Or are some of your friends married? Don’t think what binds them together is that marriage certificate or the wedding ring they are wearing. It is God. And because of that, you are restricted from making them separate.
If you want to greet another believer with a kiss, let that kiss be holy — not mouth to mouth, but one meant to exchange pleasantries. Avoid overstepping your boundaries to do crazy things because of misrepresentation of what the Bible has said.

Dear one, don’t spoil what God has blessed you with by your harsh words. Is it marriage? Learn to speak to your spouse well. Is it your job? Relate well with your colleagues and managers. Check the words you say, with or without the presence of people around you.
Meaningful friends are scarce to find. Over time, life and circumstances have a way of seeding out light-hearted friends away from people’s lives, and when that happens to you, it is quite normal. However, for those who share your values and goals, make it a personal ambition to put in some effort to keep them. That is how you choose your friends.
Offences are everywhere, especially in families, churches and workplaces. Nobody can prevent them from happening because Jesus said they are bound to come. So, even if you are the nicest person on Earth and a master of relationships with diverse kinds of people, you cannot prevent people from offending you or creating a mess among the people you fellowship with. So, focus on living in peace with people.
God wants you to thrive, and peace plays an important role. Live in peace with others as far as it depends on you. Do your possible best to foster peace in your interpersonal relationships. It will help you stabilise your life.
