The Divine Exchange: Trading Your Plans for God’s PurposeSample

Divine Partnerships and Open Doors

If I’ve learned anything about walking with God, it’s this: He’s an expert at divine networking. Long before you realise you need someone, He’s already sent them an invisible “meeting invite.”

When I started the publishing ministry, I had no grand plan — just obedience and some experience from the business world. Yet, doors began to open in ways I couldn’t have engineered if I tried. I met authors I’d never searched for, found mentors I hadn’t requested, and formed partnerships that no strategic plan could have predicted.

Sometimes I’d laugh at the timing. God would introduce me to someone at the most ordinary moments — on a plane, in a Church lobby, or even while chasing Wi-Fi. Each connection came with purpose. It was as if Heaven had a LinkedIn feature we didn’t know about — “Divine Appointments: Suggested by the Holy Spirit.”

But here’s what I noticed: these doors only opened after I’d surrendered the old ones. God doesn’t add His blessings to our busyness; He replaces our hustle with His harmony. And every time I followed His lead instead of my logic, alignment produced acceleration.

Lesson
Divine partnerships are Heaven’s way of saying, “You were never meant to do this alone.” When you walk in obedience, God sends people, resources, and opportunities that match your assignment, not your ambition. Stop forcing doors — the right ones will recognize your name when it’s time.
