FRIEND OF GOD

John 15:15. NIV

I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master’s business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you.

\”Thus says the LORD, “Cursed is the man who trusts in and relies on mankind, Making [weak, faulty human] flesh his strength, And whose mind and heart turn away from the LORD\”. (Jeremiah 17:5) Amplified bible
Have you ever been disappointed by a close pal before? I mean those who knows you closely well that they either know everything about you due to their closeness or those whom you share your secret with. If No lucky are thou😳

If you have ever been in that shoe Sorry because their very first target when they attack you will be the very point of your most guided secret or your personal private matters that the public do not know anything about its details even if they perhaps have hard a faint idea but it registered no meaning to them because it\’s none of their business. The in-house enemy that positioned him/her self as a friend or relation will be the first to let the cat loose. Very Unfortunate

You my ask king David his most horrifying experience when he was disappointed by his closest friend and trusted counsel Ahitophel, He declared \”For it was not an enemy that reproached me; then I could have borne it: neither was it he that hated me that did magnify himself against me; then I would have hid myself from him:

But it was thou, a man mine equal, my guide, and mine acquaintance.

We took sweet counsel together, and walked unto the house of God in company\”. (Psalm 55:12-14).

Very painful to find out that the very person you stuck out your head to help becomes the ringleader of a campaign of calumny carried against you. It happened to me unfortunately by a sister who invariably was my beneficiary in time of her dryness, my husband and I consciously shielded her family under our umbrella out of the hard Scotch of terrible drought.

If you most succeed in life beware of relations who always crowd around you do not let your guide loose for their closeness is not without remote intention. Since they are your blood family link that\’s when your prayers will be more fervent, ask God daily for wisdom to handle issues as it comes

Wisdom is learning how to take the knowledge given and apply it to our lives in a workable manner, so that it benefits us, and benefits the lives of others. … This is why King Solomon advices us to get wisdom. This is also why he said that wisdom is the principal thing, the chief thing, the main thing we need to overcome unfriendly friend who get entangled to us in pretence for their mission.

AMP:The beginning of Wisdom is: get Wisdom (skillful and godly Wisdom)! [For skillful and godly Wisdom is the principal thing.] And with all you have gotten, get understanding (discernment, comprehension, and interpretation). (Proverbs 4:7) AMP.

Be weary of who you disclose your dreams to, the brothers of Joseph did everything to stifle and destroy his dream because he told them, Make God your friend always have a well established ways of communeing with God. Talk to Him for He hears, Jeremiah 33:3.

Tell Him all is in your mind including your secret He knows and will not let it out no matter the height of provacation because people may say they said what they said out of anger. Matthew 11:28

Make God your confidant because He has solutions to every problem. Even when man is incapacitated no idea of the solution to your problem you still go to them because you\’re looking for who to share your problem with to ease tension like people will say; Who told you? Infact that will be the beginning of your tension. 1 John 5:14.

This year be discreet, chose who you want to run your affairs with and who you want to share your feelings with is very important. It doesn\’t matter how many people who decides to ignore your presence or decided not to be in talking term with you , Good! The less the merrier because you don\’t need crowd to get to your destination fast. There is time for everything,

Ecclesiastes 3:1-5 To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;
A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;
A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;

This year walk alone with Christ and see how fast and far you can recover, look beyond the treatchery of relations if you think they are happy with your success or progress in life you will be swimming against the tides. Always help them when it is in your place or it is your duty to help them and leave the rest for God.

All your singing and humming through out the year should be the song above to remind your self and assure your self that friendship with the world is a snare. It will be easier to please God if you\’re in relationship with God but to please man is like a camel passing through the eye of a needle 🥲

However, there are few good ones out there, when you get them cherish them they are like Diamond 💎 not easy to come bye.

Thanks for Reading from me Remain Blessed 🙏
