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…..

ONCE A FAITHFUL WIFE, AND NOW A PROSTITUTE

ONCE A FAITHFUL WIFE, AND NOW A PROSTITUTE! Compliments of the season from this side of the world to you all!!! Knowledge of the Truth is back and better this year. And I pray this year shall be a favorable one for us all. The word Faithful means reliable, worthy of trust, loyal and adhering firmly to a rule. It means consistency. It means fidelity. As a wife, it is expected you are reliable, worthy of trust, loyal and adhere to your husband’s rule and command. Ephesians 5 vs. 22: Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the LORD. The husband is in charge of his wife in the same way CHRIST is in charge of his body the Church. A submissive wife will be faithful without any conditions. She makes fidelity her watchword. A submissive wife obeys all her husband rule and command. A submissive wife is conscious of her wrongs. A submissive wife yields to authority (her husband’s). A submissive wife will always stand by her husband in thick and thin. A submissive wif

AN OUTCAST

AN OUTCAST An outcast is one that has been excluded from a society or system. He is labeled a beggar. He is an outsider. An outcast is a person that lacks care. An outcast is neglected and overlooked. He is demoralized. He is wounded in heart. He is labeled whom no one cares. He is one that has lost hope. He is one who is frustrated and dejected. He is one who is always deep in thoughts and sorrowful. He is one who lives like a foreigner in his own land. He is one who is distressed. He is one who gets dispossessed of his possessions. He is one who is perplexed. He is one who is troubled on every side. He is one who is despair. He is afraid of tomorrow. CHRIST came that we might have a restored hope. He came to bare that burden of ours. He came to give us that expected end. He came that we might have peace. He came that we might be healed . Isaiah 53 vs. 5: But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement of our peace was upon him, and w

DREAMS ARE NOT DELUSIONS

DREAMS ARE NOT DELUSIONS This is a very fascinating topic, dreams are not delusions. Many do think dreams are just fictions, some see as a normal way of life. Many do not take their dream serious which shouldn’t be, some see dreams as delusions, some don’t even dream, why some forget what they dreamt about. Dream is a medium in which GOD communicates with us, he communicates to us through vision, trance and also consciences, but we are discussing about dream. Although, many a time what you are thinking about before you sleep, you might see it again; but majorly it does not continue like that. The bible said in Job 33 vs 15: In dreams, in vision of the night, when deep sleep falls on men as they lie on their beds; he opens their ears in time like that and gives them wisdom and instruction. That is just a picture of dream, everyone has a dream land; but some’s has been tampered with by the devil. A dream land is an avenue for dreams; GOD gives instructions to us in the dream, ju
