FRIENDSHIP THAT WINS SOULS


BY  Z E N I T H A    V I C T O R I A    B A D A



"You cannot excel in life if you want to go alone in life."
                Dr Jeffrey seif.

I celebrate you all.

Today I'd be talking on how friendship can bring others to Christ.

Looking at the meaning of friendship from the Chrome dictionary it is defined as the relationship, bond,union between friends. These days people come into our lives and we are not sure how to categorize them, but I'll have you know that "Friends" are the most influential people in our life's that  either bring us down our pull us up. The bible speaking "Become wise by walking with the wise; hang out with fools and watch your life fall to pieces. "
Proverbs 13:20 MSG.

We need to learn to define our friend-ship with people, we need to know the the kind of "friends" we are letting into our "ship", so that when the wind blows we could help each other stand firm.
The bible says "friends come and friends go, but a true friend sticks by you like family."

Proverbs 18:24 MSG. The world is a battle ground and we need others by the help of God to aid us in this fight, no soldier goes to war by himself but mind you, a soldier doesn't go to war with a civilian, a surgeon doesn't go to the theater with an undergraduate of law to perform a surgery on a patient, and that also applies when we have to pick our friends, we need to make friends that have the same training with us in the in the word of God, or has more understanding because in that way we learn from each other, we help each other when we are going astray, we advice each other and say the bitter truth to each other as long as it pleases God.

 When we keep friendships that honor God we.

Strive together to achieve a goal and that is to spread the word of God to people(the unbelievers) and that is why i said from the beginning that we need to be in the circle of like minds, a circle that has the same indoctrination of the word, these days our generation deep down inside know what is right but because if the kind of friends they keep they tend to do ungodly things to feel along and hurt God, and that is because they have been influenced by the friends they carry on their ship, not minding the sailor.

The more Godly friendships we involve ourselves into, the more we are able to bring people to Christ, the more we are able to set examples before unbelievers.

In the Bible Daniel and his friends set examples that made even the king desired their God, no one is perfect, no group of friend is perfect but when we involve God in whatever we do, seek the face of God, rely on him, he is faithful to strengthens us in our weaknesses. As iron sharpens iron, So one man sharpens [and influences] another [through discussion].
PROVERBS 27:17 AMP

There are also a lot of people that are lonely out there that needs a friend to tell this friend that there is a friend called Jesus, who cares and loves them, but how do we achieve this? By showing yourself friendly and becoming an influence that represents Jesus.

Keep Godly friends, and be a Godly friend, be the friend that tells that friend that there is a friend called Jesus.

Stay blessed.

REPOSITIONING CAN MAKE YOU MORE EFFECTIVE

  B Y    D A V I D     M C Q U E L Hello Everyone!   It has been a long while. The year 2022 has finally passed. And we are still here. God is to be glorified. We absolutely give God thanks.   I tried to review the year, looking backwards at my pleasure and displeasure with the year. I also did try to see where I failed, underperformed or missed the mark both set by God or by my heart. I always like to do an honest self-appraisal. I bear in mind that either lavishing praises on myself or ignoring things that should be fixed are not to my advantage. Transparency may hurt but I stand to gain first before someone else.   Here are a few things that I came to a conclusion on: 1.       I need to make certain necessary adjustments or changes or repositioning either on my character, my commitment, my determination or my effort. This is non-negotiable. I cannot continue to do things the way I did and expect a different result. I am impressed by European football. If there is s

THE RICH FAMILY IN OUR CHURCH

I'll never forget Easter 1946. I was 14, my little sister Ocy 12, and my older sister Darlene 16. We lived at home with our mother, and the four of us knew what it was like to do without many things. My dad had died five years before, leaving Mom with seven school kids to raise and no money. By 1946, my older sisters were married, and my brothers had left home. A month before Easter, the pastor of our church announced that a special Easter offering would be taken to help a poor family. He asked everyone to save and give sacrificially. When we got home, we talked about what we could do. We decided to buy 50 pounds of potatoes and live on them for a month. This would allow us to save $20 of our grocery money for the offering. Then we thought that if we kept our electric lights turned out as much as possible and didn't listen to the radio, we'd save money on that month's electric bill. Darlene got as many house and yard cleaning jobs as possible, and both of us baby sat fo

FIVE YEARS ON...

Today is the 5 th anniversary of the launch of the World Missions Africa Blog.   When we launched on January 1, 2017, we had only on our hearts a message to share about the love of God through our Lord Jesus Christ and on our minds anxiety and questions if anyone at all will read the message we blog.   Here was our first blog post published on January 3, 2017: “Welcome to our blog. World Missions, Africa is making every effort to bring the love of Christ to all humanity. Primarily, we focus on  Africa  now in our physical activities. But with the online community, our efforts extends to the ends of the earth. Jesus died for all humanity.
