The Rewards of Friendship (1)

Mon, 25 Jun 2018

‘A real friend sticks closer than a brother.’ Proverbs 18:24 NLT

The Bible says, ‘Some friends may ruin you, but a real friend will be more loyal than a brother.’ (Proverbs 18:24 NCV) Gloria Gaither points out that real friends are concerned about what you’re becoming. They look beyond the present and care deeply about you as a whole person. Solomon writes, ‘A man who has friends must himself be friendly.’ (Proverbs 18:24 NKJV) And while building and maintaining that kind of friendship takes time and energy, the rewards far outweigh the investment.

True friends:

(1) Give you a hand up when you’re down. ‘Two people are better off than one for they can help each other… If one person falls, the other can reach out and help. But someone who falls alone is in real trouble.’ (Ecclesiastes 4:9–10 NLT)

(2) Take the pressure off. No matter how much they love you and want to help, sometimes your family is just too close to be objective and it’s easier to open up to somebody you’re not related to. At such times, the Bible says, ‘The sweetness of a… friend gives delight by hearty counsel.’ (Proverbs 27:9 NKJV)

(3) Make you laugh. Somebody said, ‘If you’ve no wrinkles, you haven’t laughed enough!’ When a good laugh is just what the doctor ordered, friends help you find humour in your situation—usually because they’ve been there! As Hazel C. Lee says, ‘Laughing at ourselves as well as with each other, brings a surprising sense of togetherness.’

(4) Hold you accountable. Ever notice when you’re acting contrary to God’s Word, it’s easy to fool yourself? That’s when ‘the slap of a friend can be trusted to help you.’ (Proverbs 27:6 NCV) So thank God for good friends who love you enough to be honest even when it hurts.

‘You prepare a table before me.’ Psalm 23:5 NKJV

When the psalmist said, ‘The Lord is my shepherd’ (Psalm 23:1 NKJV), he was affirming that he had a very personal relationship with God; one that was unique. God has given each of us a one-of-a-kind personality, gifting, purpose, and calling. And He wants a relationship with you that is unlike the one He has with anybody else. Just like your fingerprints are unique, so also is God’s interaction with you. Therefore you need to learn how to hear His voice and to know when He is speaking specifically to you. The psalmist goes on to say, ‘You prepare a table before me.’ Think about it this way. When you’re waiting for a table in a restaurant and your name is on the waiting list, sometimes the hostess will give you a pager to hold. Then when it’s time to be seated, the pager will vibrate or light up. In the meantime, you have every confidence they are preparing a table for you and that, if you’re patient, when it’s ready the pager will vibrate and let you know. Are you getting the idea?

As you read God’s Word and spend time with Him in prayer, something begins to vibrate and light up in your spirit. That’s ‘God’s pager’ leading and guiding you, and preparing the circumstances just for you. Paul writes, ‘And this same God who takes care of me will supply all your needs from His glorious riches, which have been given to us in Christ Jesus.’ (Philippians 4:19 NLT) How many of your personal needs will God provide? All of them! So stop worrying so much and instead put your trust in Him!

‘Now that you know these things, you will be blessed if you do them.’ John 13:17 NIV

Reading, receiving, researching, remembering and reflecting on God’s Word are important, but we must respond to it and be ‘doers of the word.’ (James 1:22 KJV) This is the hardest step because Satan will fight you on it. You can be so busy going to the next church meeting, that you forget to put into practice what you learned at the last one. Jesus said, ‘Everyone who hears these words of Mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock.’ (Matthew 7:24 NIV) God doesn’t bless you because you know the truth but because you obey it. ‘Now that you know these things, you will be blessed if you do them.’ We’re inclined to avoid personal application because not only is it hard—in some cases it’s downright painful! Jesus said, ‘The truth will set you free’ (John 8:32 NIV), but first it may make you uncomfortable. God’s Word reveals our motives, exposes our flaws, rebukes our sin, and demands change. That’s why it’s good to discuss your personal insights with others. We learn truths from other people that we’d never learn on our own. They help us to see and apply what we miss. They hold us accountable. One of the best ways to become ‘a doer of the Word’ is to write down an action plan. It should be personal (involving you); practical (something you can do); provable (with a benchmark or deadline). In the words of D.L. Moody: ‘The Bible wasn’t given to increase our knowledge but to change our lives.’

‘How I love your teachings! I think about them all day long.’ Psalm 119:97 NCV

You treasure God’s Word in three ways:

(1) By researching it. This calls for writing down your thoughts about it. It also calls for asking the right questions, like: Who? What? When? Where? Why? How? In other words, your Bible study should give you insight, not just information.

(2) By remembering it. You may think your memory is poor, but you’ve already memorised millions of ideas and facts. The truth is, we remember what’s truly important to us! And there are enormous benefits to memorising Scripture. It will help you resist temptation, make better decisions, reduce stress, build your confidence, stretch your thinking, and enable you to share your faith with others. Your memory is like a muscle; the more you use it the stronger it becomes. Start by writing down a verse that has helped you, then carry it with you on a small card. Review it aloud while you’re working, exercising, waiting, and before going to sleep. The key to memorising Scripture is – review…review…review!

(3) By reflecting on it. No other habit will do more to mature you spiritually than reflecting daily on God’s Word. As you do, you’re literally ‘transformed into His likeness.’ (2 Corinthians 3:18 NIV) God called David ‘a man after My own heart.’ (Acts 13:22 NIV) And how did he earn that distinction? Because he loved to reflect on God’s Word: ‘How I love your teachings! I think about them all day long.’ The key to successful Christian living is yours when you treasure God’s Word.

‘Let the message about Christ, in all its richness, fill your lives.’ Colossians 3:16 NLT

As you fill your mind with God’s Word, the Holy Spirit will use it to transform you. ‘Let the message about Christ, in all its richness, fill your lives…with all the wisdom He gives.’ How do you do that?

(1) By reading it. If you read the newspaper but not the Bible, you won’t grow spiritually. You can’t watch TV for three or four hours, then read your Bible for three or four minutes and expect growth. How can you say you believe the Bible from cover to cover, when you haven’t read it from cover to cover? ‘[We] should…read from it every day.’ (Deuteronomy 17:19 NCV) If you read your Bible for just fifteen minutes a day, you’ll read completely through it once a year. If you cut out just one thirty-minute television programme daily, you can read it through twice a year. Daily Bible reading keeps you within range of God’s voice. Do you want to grow spiritually? Develop a daily Bible reading plan and stick with it.

(2) By receiving it. In the ‘Parable of the Sower’ Jesus talks about three unreceptive attitudes: a closed mind (hard soil), a superficial mind (shallow soil), and a distracted mind (soil with weeds) (see Luke 8:5–15). He then goes on to say, ‘Consider carefully how you listen.’ (Luke 8:18 NIV) Any time you’re not learning, check your attitude, especially for pride, because God can speak to you through the most boring teacher if you’re humble and receptive. James says, ‘Humbly accept the word planted in you, which can save you.’ (James 1:21 NIV) These aren’t just good ideas; they’re life-changing principles!

Enough is enough. No truck should be allow to go on top of the bridge at Ojuelegba. They should all go through the traffic down. A strong barricade should be build on both side of the bridge to prevent trucks and heavy duty to go on the bridge.

RIP to the dead.

‘If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed.’ John 8:31 NKJV

John writes, ‘I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers.’ (3 John 1:2 NKJV) In order to ‘prosper’, reading God’s Word must be one of your first priorities each day. Jesus said, ‘If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed.’ To ‘abide’ means to reside in a certain place. It makes us think of home, the place where you find joy, acceptance, encouragement, support, protection, purpose, identity, and rest. To ‘treasure’ God’s Word means to accept it as your highest authority, your compass for direction, your counsellor in making decisions, your benchmark for evaluating every relationship and action. In other words, the first and last word in your life. Many of our troubles occur because we base our choices on unreliable authorities, like:

Culture – ‘Everybody’s doing it.’

Tradition – ‘We’ve always done it this way.’

Reason – ‘It seems logical.’

Emotion – ‘It just feels right.’

All these are flawed because they come from within us, not from God. What we need is a perfect standard that will never lead us in the wrong direction, and only God’s Word meets that criteria. Solomon wrote, ‘Every word of God is flawless.’ (Proverbs 30:5 NIV) That means when His Word tells you to do something, you need to do it whether or not it makes sense to you, and whether or not you feel like doing it. You must say like Paul, ‘I believe everything that… is written.’ (Acts 24:14 NIV)

‘I have treasured the words of His mouth more than my daily bread.’ Job 23:12 NIV

The Spirit of God makes us like the Son of God, through the Word of God! That’s why Satan will put 101 roadblocks in your way to keep you from reading the Bible. Paul writes, ‘I commend you to God and to the word of His grace, which is able to build you up.’ (Acts 20:32 NASB) God’s Word is like seed; it’s filled with potential. Jesus said, ‘The words that I have spoken to you are life.’ (John 6:63 NASB) An amazing thing happens when you study the Scriptures. Your mind illuminates, your heart resonates, and the truth comes to life in you. The Bible is more than just a doctrinal guidebook. It creates faith, produces change, causes miracles, heals hurts, builds character, transforms circumstances, imparts joy, overcomes adversity, defeats temptation, builds hope, releases power, cleanses minds, brings things into being, and guarantees your future. You can’t survive without it. It’s as essential to your life as food. That’s why Job said, ‘I have treasured the words of His mouth more than my daily bread.’ God’s Word is the spiritual nourishment you need to fulfil your life’s purpose. The Bible is described as milk, bread, solid food, and sweet dessert (see 1 Peter 2:2; Matthew 4:4; 1 Corinthians 3:2; Psalm 119:103). This four-course meal is the Spirit’s menu for daily strength and growth. Peter writes, ‘Crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up.’ (1 Peter 2:2 NIV) So make a commitment to spend time each day reading God’s Word.

Try giving your love to the Lord, every other good things will follow. Never put your trust in human, men/women are bound to fail. Jesus never fails you.

Be strong, don’t give up, don't over think, be positive, be courageous, be focus, better days are ahead of you, but keep.......

.......looking unto Jesus, the author & the finisher of our faith. He will definitely return everything back to you in folds.

"Dan wo, ko siri pe, rere nii Oluwa".

....this is how a positive thinker should think. Don't ever give up. It's not over until it's over.

Thanks AY for building up some faith.

‘My son, if your heart is wise, My heart will rejoice.’ Proverbs 23:15 NKJV

Author and pastor James Merritt reports that fatherless children are 100 to 200 per cent more likely to experience emotional and behavioural problems, twice as likely to use drugs and alcohol, more likely to become sexually active at an early age and three times more likely to commit violent crime. Over 50 per cent of teens who attempt suicide live in single-parent homes. Most runaways leave fatherless homes, and boys without fathers are 300 per cent more likely to end up incarcerated. Seventy per cent of juveniles in long-term correctional facilities grew up without a father. Fatherless daughters are 53 per cent more likely to marry in their teens, and 164 per cent more likely to have children outside of marriage. Fatherless daughters who marry have a 92 per cent higher divorce rate, and fatherless sons are 35 per cent more likely to experience marital failure. Eighty per cent of teenagers admitted to psychiatric hospitals come from fatherless homes, and are 50 per cent more likely to grapple with learning disabilities. They fare worse in school, and are three times more likely to drop out than kids who grew up in a home with a father. And it’s possible to be physically present, yet emotionally absent. In a recent poll, 50 per cent of fathers said they feel guilty about spending too little time with their children. According to the Family Research Council, the average dad spends eight minutes a day in direct conversation with his kids. And in families where the mum works outside the home it drops to four minutes. If you find these statistics shocking, wake up and do something about it!

My son, do not forget my law, But let your heart keep my commands.’ Proverbs 3:1 NKJV

If you’re a dad, God expects you to be the leader in your family. That means: (1) You must want to lead. Without good leadership, the chances are your kids are headed for a life of trouble. Former U.S. Attorney General William Barr said, ‘If you look at the one factor that most closely correlates with crime, it’s not poverty, it’s not unemployment, it’s not education; it’s the absence of the father in the family.’

(2) You must know where you’re going. Without clear direction for your own life, you can’t guide your kids. God expects you to enable your children to make wise decisions in such crucial areas of life as sex, money, relationships, marriage, and the vocations they choose. These are make-or-break issues. It’s your job to teach them both in precept and practice what those crucial life issues are, and to help them make godly decisions in each one.

(3) You must ‘be there’ for them. Let’s use this acrostic on the word DADS: Direction. Availability. Discipline. Spirituality. The most crucial component on the list is ‘availability’. Why? Because if you’re not available you can’t give direction, your discipline will be resented, and your spiritual leadership will be rejected. Nature abhors a vacuum, and if you don’t lead your children, someone will lead them for you. If you’re not there for them someone else will be—someone you may not like. And when that happens, the greater problem isn’t that you won’t be around; it’s that you’ll no longer be missed! In the Bible, God is called ‘Our Father’. So today ask Him to help you become the father your children need.
