You need Friends

 Proverbs  18:24 "A man that hath friends must shew himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother."


Growing up, I never really understood the concept of "Friendship". I mostly even thought to myself, what the need of having friends was. I had friends but I never really saw the importance of friendship, until I stumbled on this passage in my mid-teenage years, Oh! what light shun on my soul. Friendship is a beautiful thing, no man can ever say " He doesn't need friends", some people even say "I don't keep friends" , and then I laugh, it's one thing to say "you don't keep too many friends", it's another to say " you don't keep friends". To be a  successful person in life, you need people. Success is not attained until the people factor is in. When God blesses you with ideas, you definitely will need people to execute it with. God saw the need of a friend for Adam, hence Eve was given. Eve was primarily a friend for Adam before a wife. A friend is someone who believes in you, someone you work with in achieving any goal together or any vision together for yourself, for him/herself , or for others. The scripture above shows if you must have friends, you must first be friendly, a negative attitude will attract negative people, a positive friendly attitude will attract positive friendly people. You attract people like you. If you ever say "I don't have friends" , it simply means one thing, You are not a friendly person. You must look into yourself and change any negativity. You will always need people. You will always need friends. Do have a great day ahead😀

The Noble

Who is a noble person? Through Scripture references and inferences we'll embark on a journey that seeks to define and show us who God deems to be a noble person and why being one is an absolute no brainer, especially in this present noble-starved age. Pls note- the opinions presented in this article are derivations from the Scriptures and not a carnal fabrication or mere mental or cultural estimation of the author. You can look em up yourself to confirm the assertions and/or suggestions. The term noble/nobleman appears 40 times in the King James version of the Bible but it was first used in Exodus24:11 to describe certain "elders" who were to work alongside Moses in leading, guiding and directing the people of Israel according to the desires of God. Point to note is they were "leaders" and men of high repute often in the classification of princes and rulers over other people. So, if you're over anyone in leadership you're actually a noble save t...

Priority information

  Proverbs  16:3 Commit thy works unto the LORD, and thy thoughts shall be established. Most people tell others about their plans first even before they remember to tell God". It's so true, I've found out most times people have opinions, but God never has an opinion, God has direction. People have opinions, God has direction. While speaking with a friend yesterday, she recalled how some people had tried to talk her down/out from doing something, and I felt well, people always have opinions, and like David Ologbonori, a life-coach posited, " Opinions are cheap, they are everywhere, and they can be wrong". While I thought about the fact that sometimes people tell others about their plans before God, I thought to myself "why should a man inform others about what he wants to do even before the waymaker Himself?"😏. This doesn't mean you can't talk to "destiny-helpers", or " dreams investors ", but it has to do with who you give p...

Peace, Soundness of Mind

  2 Timothy  1:7 "For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. " I'm a firm believer that one of the most vital if not the most vital aspect of the human health is the mental health. Its so important to have a mind that's put together. A lot of times, there are challenges that come our way which test our mental capacity and strength, some times they are quite overwhelming, making it seem like we just need to go somewhere solitary to have a "cool off", however the scriptures promises something quite lovely. God says to those who accept Him in their lives, He has given "... a sound mind" , the phrase "sound mind" is translated from the Greek word "Sophronismos", which means " a mental state well balanced with accurate judgement". This is the kind of mind you have in Christ. A mind configured to make accurate and sound judgement, a mind that's in the rest of God. Most i...
