There are people in your life that are assigned to you. They will push you forward to your destiny. They are important because God has put them in your life. Their race, economic status, gender or nationality does not matter. They are your strategic alliances.
“The Queen of Sheba heard how famous Solomon was, so she went to Jerusalem to test him with difficult questions. She took along several of her officials, and she loaded her camels with gifts of spices, jewels, and gold. When she arrived, she and Solomon talked about everything she could think of (2 Chronicles 9:1).”

The Queen of Sheba heard how famous Solomon was. Solomon‘s wisdom and riches intrigued her. She was in awe about what God was doing in him. After talking with him, the Queen of Sheba gave Solomon everything that he needed to complete the temple. She was attracted to the God inside of him. In verse 8, she said, “Blessed be the LORD thy God, which delighted in thee to set thee on his throne, to be king for the LORD thy God: because thy God loved Israel, to establish them for ever, therefore made he thee king over them, to do judgment and justice.”
You may not understand why people are attracted to you, but they are attracted to you because of the Spirit of God that is within you. Your response to them is to testify of God’s goodness and allow God to continue to work in you to shine. “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven (Matthew 15:1)”. Allow God to bring strategic alliances in the forefront of your life no matter their race, color, gender and nationality. They will be a blessing to you.
Similarly, God has given you a strategic alliance in your life. That alliance is God the Holy Spirit. “But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things (1 John 2:20).” God has given us specific answers to everyday life. He has given us a comforter to help us when we do not know where to turn. “But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you (John 14:26).”
