Heb 11:13b: “…and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth…”KJV
Life business is a business you run on daily basis. It reflect across all segment of life; a business of either you lose or gain. It’s a business managed by every individual; both young and old, male and female. Everything you do on earth is likeing to a business; they are meant to have a start and finishing, ways of doing them in form of transaction with end result. In all, you need a partner to run this business with you.
  Why do you need a partner for your life business?
        No matter how man paddle his lifestyle, he must for real sustain with partners. Your life is not designed or created to live alone. Life is ever forbidden to operate as a sole proprietorship. The principle governing man’s life from the foundation of the world do not support sole proprietorship life. It’s either you partner with God, devil or man;  this is individual choices. Its either you choose to loss or gain.

2.0  FORMS OF PARTNERSHIP

  Holy Spirit/Angels                Man
Jesus Christ the middle man stands as the mediator between man and God… 2Timothy 2:5. We also have a free and close partnership with God through Christ.  On like the world, consumer don’t get goods from the producer directly but in God’s business line, you get direct and real goods or product in simple and in bulk from God.
 
Partnership with God is as well running the Christian race…           1 Corinth 9:24, as well working in the light… Matt 5:16, John 8:12 and also in divine fellowship with God… Jhn 17:23, 1Jhn 1:6-7

Business Analysis
The capital you need to start business with God is SALVATION… Jhn 1:12, Act 3:19, Titus 2:11
The currency/money you spend with him to get anything you want or desire anytime is FAITH… Heb 11:6
The phone no of God is JESUS… Phil 2:10
The network you use in place of MTN, GLO is HOLY SPIRIT… ROM 8:26; 8:6,14; 5:5
The phone you need for Communication is your MOUTH… Matt 7:7
The vehicle you need to transport your goods from his factory is HOLINESS… 2Corinth 1:7, Heb 12:14
Things you need to finance your business with God
These are your NGO’s, Investors, Grant awarders etc
Fruit of the Spirit; love, Joy, Peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance… Gal 6:22-23. The goods/rewards you get is rest and eternal glory… Matt 11:28-29, Rom 6:23, Phil 1:20
You need the man standing as the middle man (JESUS) who is the mediator to keep you connected to God (producer) of everything. Jesus is a great sponsorer, Philanthropist, Business Expert, Grant Awarder and lot more.
“…even when you think you are losing in God’s business;  short term run, their is hope that you will get something and will never lose…” Rom 5:3-5

Things needed to make your business grow
   These are things you need to get more knowledge and ideas about your business and your partner (God)
The Bible; it help you learn new things, strategies, ideas about your business. You get more knowledge and understanding to work in getting better gains for great reward. You receive inspirations on what to do; this is as well getting information and being current.
it keeps you from being frustrated i.e.  falling into ruin and from withdrawing.
when business is not grooming well (temptation/trials/persecution) it directs you on what to do, it gives you courage and way to overcome.
Prayer; it’s what you need to communicate with your partner (God) and other buyers and sellers….you do this with your mouth

Faith; this is what you need to please your partner(God), and it also sustain by giving hope… Heb 11:1;6-7
Fellowship; close contact with your partners makes your business more renowned and advertised and from there you get help, sponsorer, mentors and advisers to grow the more as well with God the father, son and Holy Spirit.

Fasting; you need to pay the price of fasting. As money in business at times need you to forfeit feeding and other vital things to get something for your business (needed goods or things to make profit. Likewise with God, you need to discipline yourself for fasting to get some goods to make profit and do exploit… Mark 9:25-29

Christ teaching on the mountain reveal that we need to invest on something to get profit. Becoming a shareholder in Gods business, you get multiple fold of your share. In Gods bank or business, your share increase and can never decrease. You need patient, true connection, uprightness, consistency and faith to get your reward.
In God’s business, you need to give him the lead, he take’s decision first, then you follow. You present your heart desire to him, your own view and he implement the best for you.

 2.20 PARTNERSHIP WITH DEVIL 
  Devil partnership is as well working in darkness; in sin, in accordance to the world, enjoying pleasure, doing evil and wickedness… 1 Corinth 6:14-18, 1 John 3:8 Devil is the armed robber/thief of your business with God... John 10:10. He will take away the treasure and savings of your life business… 1 Peter 5:8 he squander money by devouring, is a money launderer and he doesn’t mind the suffering you may encounter… Job 1:6-7; 1:6-7
Satan is an enemy partner, hacker of destiny and glory, he play his own business with tricks, he deceive and also dupe people he partner with. He has no mercy for your pain and agony, he gives #10 and collect back #10,000,000. He’s a covetous investor. When you refuse to give God chance to partner with you, definitely devil will have a free and automatic partnership with you.
God’s partnership is choice, Devil partnership is automatic
God partnership is light, devil partnership is darkness
Devil go away with your profit and shares but God gives you all that belongs to you
God’s partnership brings about eternal life but devil partnership brings about death/damnation
With God you achieve your set goals, aim, target but with devil you miss and lose them

Running your life business; academics, financial, carrier, spiritual, marital, without allowing God to settle, work and partner with you, you will surely fail the plan, lose the reward, and goods of your business.
Business you run to earn eternal kingdom is meant for all, you run it once and you gain or lose the reward once. losing it is a path to great sorrow. Operation no remedy… Matt 16:28; 25:48 1 Corinth 9:22-27
You earn more rewards by marketing your goods (EVANGELISM) and you have more people to your business line to partner with you for the great gain/reward (KINGDOM OF GOD)

2.30  PARTNERSHIP WITH MAN
The people you live with determine the business of your life. People you meet, people you encounter and people who rally round you. They trade with you both physically and spiritually (Christian race)
No matter the position or circumstances, you can’t live well without others living your life with you. Life is a business, others finance it for you and as well trade with you. You partner with others through friendship, peer grouping, school mates, in which you desire to do what they do either willingly or through influence and pressure…Community leaders, Law makers, Government all govern your way of life.
Parietal/family government is another one thing that gives the picture of the life you live. The family you crave from is a market where several people bargain with you and their your destiny, future, and carrier are determined and shaped. It depend on how they treat and trade with you.
Another means of forming partnership with human is through marital living which when in inception is meant to last forever. Marital business is either for


 good or for worse. When you fail the business of marital, the business is off with God… Matt 19:6
“Missing it maritally, missing it all”
Marital business also involve God, Jesus, Devil or other man, it requires you to choose the best. God make fellowship of brethren a better place of trading with others the business of your life. They run the Christian race with you, they serve as supporters to help you in running the race as it happens on the real field in the world. They are meant to correct, assist, help and support you… 1 Corinth 9:23
In dangerous friendship partnership, is either you are influenced or their life reflect your life which is the most dangerous thing that will make you to eventually lose on earth and also lose in heaven… 2 Corinth 6:14-18, 11 Samuel 13:1-17, 1 Corinth 7:1-end Revealing your secrets, sharing ideas, opposite sex relationship all speak of your mode of human partnership.

The chart below give the goods you invest on in partnership: 
Fruit of the Spirit; love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, faith, meekness, temperance…Gal 5:22-24
Works of the flesh; adultery, formication, uncleanliness, idolatry, hatred, seditions, covetousness, filthiness, heresies…Gal 5;19-21Eph 5:1-7
Evil/Bad company…2 Corinth 6:14-18

CONCLUSION
     Partnership in this study meaning your relationship, connection, and companionship with God, devil and man including other believers like you. Those who  take decision for you, advice you and people who you follow their foot step. Who do you believe and serve? Who do you serve? Who are your friends? Who is your mentor? Who is your guardian?

HYMN: TRUST AND OBEY
B.H. 390
1. WHEN WE WALK WITH THE LORD
IN THE LIGHT OF HIS WORD,
WHAT A GLORY HE SHEDS ON OUR WAY!
WHILE WE DO HIS GOOD WILL,
HE ABIDES WITH US STILL,
AND WITH ALL WHO WILL TRUST AND OBEY.
CHORUS
  TRUST AND OBEY,
FOR THERE'S NO OTHER WAY,
TO BE HAPPY IN JESUS
BUT TO TRUST AND OBEY.

2, NOT A SHADOW CAN RISE,
NOT A CLOUD IN THE SKIES,
BUT HIS SMILE QUICKLY DRIVES IT AWAY;
NOT A DOUBT NOR A FEAR,
NOT A SIGH NOR A TEAR,
CAN ABIDE WHILE WE TRUST AND OBEY.

3. NOT A BURDEN WE BEAR,
NOT A SORROW WE SHARE,
BUT OUR TOIL HE DOTH RICHLY REPAY;
NOT A GRIEF NOR A LOSS;

NOT A FROWN NOR A CROSS
BUT IS BLEST IF WE TRUST AND OBEY

4. BUT WE NEVER CAN PROVE,
THE DELIGHTS OF HIS LOVE
UNTIL ALL ON THE ALTER WE LAY,
FOR THE FAVOUR HE SHOWS!
AND THE JOY HE BESTOWS,
ARE FOR THEM WHO WILL TRUST AND OBEY.

5. THEN IN FELLOWSHIP SWEET,
WE WILL SIT AT HIS FEET,
OR WE'LL WALK BY HIS SIDE IN THE WAY;
WHAT HE SAYS WE WILL DO,
WHERE HE SENDS WE WILL GO,
NEVER FEAR, ONLY TRUST AND OBEY. (AMEN)
