FRIENDSHIP

Text: Proverbs 17:17.

A friend loveth at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.

Friendship is an asset. True friends are not in the relationship for what they can get out of it nor do they abandon or betray their friends in bad times. 

Biblical friends stick with you even when there is no perceived benefits in it. A true friend stays even in the midst of adversity.

Friendship is scarce today, you must take time out and make effort to build one.

Proverbs 18:24  says A man that has friends must show himself friendly. The first principle to making or getting a good and reliable friend is to ensure you are one yourself. MAKE YOURSELF FRIENDLY.

Essentially, you attract who you are. If you want a trustworthy, reliable and caring friend, you must have those qualities too.

Go out of your way to be of help to others. Be hospitable and be  accommodating.  The truth is, God has designed it that the ladder you need to climb to the next phase of your life is wrapped in another person. Until that person is favourably disposed towards you, your much needed help may not come. 

Abraham's decision to help the angels who disguised to him as strangers was what  unlocked the blessing which God had promised him.

It was Lot's show of hospitality that saved him from being perished with fire alongside the people of Sodom and Gomorrah. 

It was Rebecca's kind heart and diligence that got her a Godly husband. 

As we start a new month today, make yourself friendly and good friends will come your way.

 *Bible Reading :* 

Luke 11:5-8.

 *PRAYER FOCUS* 

1.) Father Lord, I receive the grace to be friendly with the right people and the wisdom to choose my friends wisely.

IT IS WRITTEN AGAIN

Text: Matthew 4:6. He told Jesus, “Since you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, because it is written,   ‘God will put his angels in charge of you,’ and,   ‘With their hands they will hold you up, so that you will never hit your foot against a rock.’ Jesus knocked devil off with "it is written" when he came to him with the first temptation. So, the devil too decided to use "it is written" for Jesus for the second temptation.  Don't be deceived, the devil knows the scriptures too. Second Corinthians 11:14 says,  "Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light." So, it's no surprise when you see Satan's messengers masquerading themselves as Apostle of Christ. 2 Corinthians 11:14.  The word of God is perfect. Yet, many people can twist it to their advantage and ultimately to their disadvantage. A drunk, smoker, fornicator, liar and all sort can justify their sinful lifestyles with a Bible verse. See to it that you do not twist the word of Go...

WHEN GOD IS SILENT(2)

Text: Matthew 4:1  *Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.*  We saw yesterday that God was not pleased with many israelites that left Egypt for the promised land  (Corinthians 10:5).  A good percentage of the Israelites were overthrown in the wilderness.   Wilderness experience is not what any child of God desires, but it is an experience God sends or allows his children go through. In Deuteronomy 8:2, God says that He *LED* the Isrealites through the wilderness for forty years to humble them, to prove them, and to know what was in their heart whether they would keep his commandments or not.  Our Lord Jesus Christ was also *LED* into the wilderness by the Spirit of the Lord to be tempted by the devil. You will  notice there is a similar feature of the number *40(forty)* between these two wilderness experiences. That is, that of the Israelites and our Lord Jesus Christ. The Israelites spent 40years, Jesu...

GULLIBLE BUT INTELLIGENT

Text : Mat 25:31-32  *When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:*   *And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:*  Have you ever wondered why Jesus compared His followers to sheep and not goats?  Sheep has reputation for being stupid, defenceless and harmless creatures that mope about on hillsides doing not very much. They are good for two things: being eaten and producing wool. According to a study by Keith Kendrick, he said in reality, Sheep are actually surprisingly intelligent, with impressive memory and recognition skills. They build friendships, stick up for one another in fights, and feel sad when their friends are  sent to slaughter. The truth is that sheep are far smarter than we know., All these reasons and more are the basis for Jesus' comparism of His followers with sh...
