WHAT A FRIEND !

WHAT A FRIEND!
There are friends and there are friends. We all have friends. Friends are people other than a family member whose company one enjoys and towards whom one feels affection. A friend is an associate who provides assistance. A friend is a person who backs and supports you. A friend defends you always. A friend doesn’t desert you. A friend doesn’t scorn you. A friend is not an enemy. A friend in need is a friend indeed. A friend cares for you. A friend prays for you. All these mentioned can only be exhibited by a true friend. Most worldly friends are deceitful; they are jealous and pretend to be your friend. Job’s friends scorned him while in his circumstances, despite mourning and comforting him. Job 16 vs. 20: My friends scorn me; but mine eye poureth out tears unto GOD. Just for you to know most earthly friends are like Job’s friends. They are pretenders; they mourn with you, rejoice with you and desert you when in a difficult circumstances. Show me a true friend and I will tell you he will always stand by you come what may; show me an earthly friend and I will tell you when faced with difficulty he won’t stand by you for long. Earthly friend’s make their friendship based on condition, while a true friend makes his friendship unconditionally.

           However, Proverbs 18 vs. 24: There are “friends” who pretend to be friends, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother. This verse defines a true friend and an earthly friend. Earthly friends pretend to be friends, but a true friend sticks closer than your blood brother. JESUS is the only true friend! He came and died for our sins, he said “in this world we shall face trials and temptations, but we should be of good cheers he has overcome the world”. He said cast all your cares on me for I care for them. He loved us all. What more does a person needs than a true friend. No earthly friend can do these. A hymn writer says: What a friend we have in JESUS, all our sins and grief’s to bear! What a privilege to carry everything to GOD in prayer! Have we trials and temptations? Is there troubled anywhere? We should never be discouraged; take it to the LORD in prayer. JESUS knows our every weakness. Can we find a friend as faithful as him? NO! Even while we were yet sinners he died for us. What a friend! We are to do whatsoever the true friend commands. John 15 vs 14: Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you. It is well with us…..

OUR DAYS.

OUR DAYS Greetings to all reading on this platform worldwide. I write on this topic OUR DAYS even as   my twin sister and I are a year older today. Glory be to GOD for a new year and a new day. A song says great is thy faithfulness, Oh LORD my father, morning by morning new mercies we see, all we have needed his hands have provided, Great is thy faithfulness. Truly great is his faithfulness toward all men. Many are not convinced of these, many don’t see something special in GOD’s faithfulness towards them. David said “Then I lay down and slept in peace and woke up safely, for the LORD was watching over me. He GOD never sleeps nor slumber over us, we just find out we sleep and before you know it, you open your eye to a new day. This is the LORD’s doing and it should be marvelous in our sights. We are to see reasons to always appreciate and thank GOD for his goodness, mercies and faithfulness. That you are alive shows He is faithful. The gift of life which is the greatest of...

FAITHFUL WHO HAD PROMISED.

FAITHFUL WHO HAD PROMISED To be faithful is to be reliable, worthy of trust and consistent with reality. A faithful man pledges and might later be unfaithful. For instance, couples make vows at the altar during their wedding, but these vows don’t stop the man or woman from breaking promises and vow. A married man finds himself cheating outside marriage despite all vows made during his wedding, because he is not faithful. You find cheating outside marriage is a common thing now, which shouldn’t be. Husbands drink from your own well, stick to her and figure out things by praying together. Wives drink from your own well, stick to him no matter what he has done. A man is not the faithful who had promised, because men fails and break their promise. Only GOD is the faithful who had promised. The bible said cursed be he that put his trust in the arm of flesh. The arm of flesh will surely fail. You been promised something by your uncle or aunt doesn’t guarantee you will be given the th...
