*FOUNTAIN OF KNOWLEDGE DAILY DEVOTIONALS* (February 3rd, 2025) *DAY 34* *TOPIC: THE POWER OF ASSOCIATION* _"Iron shapeneth iron, so a man shapeneth the countenance of his friend"- *(Prov. 27:17. KJV).* 1. Association affects mindset and mindset affects outcome; the way a person thinks is drastically impacted by the kind of association he or she keeps. Hence, if you associate with a low, poor, and defective attitude or mindset, that will definitely affect your mindset and attitude to life. 2. Association affects aspiration, expectation, anticipation, and vision. Hence, the vision of your friends, associates, and mentors affects your vision and expectations in life. 3. Association affects behavior, actions, and even the principles of life. Hence, sooner or later, one begins to talk, behave, and act like the closest people in his or her life. One's principle begins to be affected by the principles of his or her closest friends and associates. It is important, therefore, beloved that you associate carefully in order to have the kind of outcome you want in life. Prophetic Instructions: 1. Associate carefully. 2. Release unprofitable association from your life. *Prophetic Prayer:* Help me, Lord, to a associate carefully in life in Jesus name. *Nugget of Wisdom:* _"Association affects aspiration, expectation, and vision. There are very few things under the heavens that are as powerful as association. The power of association is practically inestimable for the aforementioned reasons."_ *Divine Empowerment:* Morning: 1 Cor. 1-4 Evening: Proverbs 13:20 *Author:* Bishop Papa Frank Obinna Lloyd (PhD) _Prophet To The Nations._
