UNDERSTANDING WHO A STRANGER IS

A stranger is a person who is unknown to another person or group. And because of this unknown status, a stranger may be perceived as a threat until their identity and character can be ascertained.

 Our parents warned us against talking to strangers because of history, culture, religion, etc. Probably, you were beaten many times for relating or even talking to a stranger. It came to a point that we grew up with fear of strangers. Fear of strangers is a learned fear and can be unlearned.
  You need to talk to strangers. To avoid strangers is to end up a failure in life. Strangers are the key to your next level in life. Strangers are the ladder that will take you to your next level. Therefore, if you avoid strangers you are going to be limited in your journey to destiny.

 "Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares."

-------Hebrews 13:2------

Strangers are angels of destiny. They are the ones that will assist you in the journey.Strangers are gifts from God to your life to help you fulfill destiny with ease. In your journey to destiny, you will meet so many strangers. The reason is that without strangers life and destiny will be stagnated, stranded and frustrated. Strangers come to transport you from your present level to the next level of life that is more glorious. They are the bridge to your new glorious level in life.
  The house you are living was built by strangers. The food you ate today, the food stuffs were sold to you by strangers. The clothes you are wearing were sold to you by strangers. As a business man or woman, most of the people who buy from your shop are strangers. Young lady/man, you are not going to marry your family members but a stranger.
  It is impossible to live life effectively and fulfill destiny to the fullest without strangers. Friends, your money is the hands of strangers. Strangers are opportunities for possibilities. They are connections to high places in life.
  Great men and women know how to penetrate strangers and network with them to achieve their goals and fulfill destiny. Observe the rich and the poor in the market; the poor buys based on REDUCTION IN PRICE but the rich buys based on RELATIONSHIP WITH PEOPLE. He has contact of sellers and there is relationship.
Seeing how important strangers are, it is necessary to learn how to penetrate and connect with strangers. There are certain laws facilitate our access to strangers.
 

 NO.1:THE LAW OF COMPLIMENT  Compliment is more powerful than greetings. It feeds the ego of the stranger. A sincere compliment is one of the most effective method of penetrating and connecting with a stranger. Compliment breaks the defenses of the stranger. If you want to really connect with people, use compliment more than greetings.
  For examples,
  1) The fragrance of your perfume is fantastic.
2) Your hairstyle is beautiful!
3) Wow! Your suit is fine.
4) Wow! You look smart! You sound intelligent!
5) Your compound is fantastic.
6) Your Children are wonderful. etc.
You have greeted so many times today but have you said any sincere compliment to anyone?
  People who are so generous with their compliments do not lack friends. People tend to gravitate towards them. Critical people are relationship risk.
  Married couples, stop killing your marriage with critical comments.
There is always something to compliment about if you look well.
  Put a smile on your face and make compliment frequently.
 

 NO.2: THE LAW OF CELEBRATION  Celebration of the stranger's old victories gives him a sense of accomplishment. So, make a little effort to investigate his past victories and celebrated accordingly.
  For example:
 Sir, we are yet to recover from the positive impact of that short speech you made that day.
People gravitate towards where they are celebrated, not where they are tolerated.
Celebrate people and stop tolerated people.
