TOPIC for FRI, 18/03/22:Who is your friend?

CAC Living Water, Fri March 18, 2022.

Read 1 Samuel 18:1-4

1 Now when he had finished speaking to Saul, the soul of Jonathan was knit to the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul.
2 Saul took him that day, and would not let him go home to his father’s house anymore.
3 Then Jonathan and David made a covenant, because he loved him as his own soul.
4 And Jonathan took off the robe that was on him and gave it to David, with his armor, even to his sword and his bow and his belt.

MEMORISE:
And Jonathan took off the robe that was on him and gave it to David, with his armor, even to his sword and his bow and his belt (1 Samuel 18:4).

EXPOSITION
The matter of friendship is a familiar issue. There are levels of friendship. The Holy Spirit wants us to learn in another dimension, the different kinds of friends there are, and how to carefully choose the right ones in line with His own purpose and will. Prophet Amos rhetorically posited, ‘Can two walk together, unless they are agreed?’ (Amos 3:3)

Of course, for two to walk together successfully, we are talking of relationship, and relationship cannot work where the parties involved are not in right agreement with the person in question, and that makes the issue of choosing friends a thing that should be done with extra care.
Let us consider some of the basic operations in mathematics — Addition, and subtraction. First, additive friends. These are friends that add good and valuable things to your life. They add value, knowledge, experience, good and godly materials, money, and above all, Jesus Christ to your life. They won’t be satisfied until they have added quality things to your life. Mark these ones. They are the God-sent. That was what Jonathan was to David, and Ananias to Saul.
Second, the subtractive friends. These are friends who have nothing good to add to you expect that they always take from you. In the primary school, subtraction is nicknamed ‘take away’. Such friends take away your clothes, shoes, books, under wears, money and others.

Also, some have taken away their friend’s wives, properties, and even, lives! Such can be Satan-sent to take eternal life away from one.
Dear reader, who have you chosen as your friend? A plus, or minus friend? You have your destiny in your own hands to do the needful, now. May your friends be godly people (Christians) who add the biblical positives to your life, family and career, in Jesus’ name, Amen. Beware of the kind of friends you keep (cf. Prov. 18:24). “Show me your friend, and I will tell you who you are.”

PRAYER POINTS
1. O Lord, help me to choose the friends You have programmed for me, alone.
2. Lord, deliver me from the disasters that have visited me because of my wrong choices in terms of friends in the past.
3. Pray that God should raise sponsors for missionaries to cushion the effect of their works on the field.

EXTRA READING FOR TODAY: Judges 2 – 4

SPECIAL NOTE!
Salvation of your soul is very important to God.

Beloved Reader, Remember! John 3:3 says, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless ye are born again, ye cannot see the kingdom of God.”

If you are ready to give your life to Christ Jesus, please pray the displayed prayer below in faith:

Lord Jesus, I am a sinner. I confess all my sin, have mercy on me, forgive me all my sin. Lord Jesus come into my life. I accept You as my Lord and Personal Saviour. I believe in my heart You died and rose from the dead to save me. Thank You Lord for saving me, in Jesus name Amen.

If you just prayed the prayer of salvation! Congratulations! You are now born again. You need to belong to a Bible-Believing Church where you can know more. For testimonies, counselling or prayer requests, visit, CAC 13 Celestial Way, Ketu 100242, Lagos.

Beware! This Scripture: “And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold,” Matt 24:12, is happening in our days.
Our prayer is: any power or any problem that will kill our love for God, blood of Jesus shall destroy and flush them away from us, through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.

Thank you for your patient with us. And thank you for all your comments, observations, feedbacks and time spent on this platform. We cherish your presence here.

Beloved! We are in perilous time when kidnappings, banditry and other vices have become daily occurrences. But the Lord is saying, do not be afraid! Be strong in the Lord! Be bold & be courageous!

In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, you shall not be a victim to whatever calamity flying around by day or by night, in the name of Jesus, Amen!
Shalom!
