MESSAGE:

Some people complain that there are no genuine friends out there and that the few good ones have ulterior motives. Well, this is not entirely true because there are still genuine people. All you need to do is to be a good person, then, ask God to send a genuine friend to you.

I remember the story of a young girl who brought an amount of money to my house many years ago. She had been saving the money to travel abroad but the money was not enough. So, she decided to sow it as a seed into my life. Although, I was reluctant to take it, I eventually did and prayed for her. Weeks after, she came to testify that her friend who was to travel abroad with her family refused to go without her. She enjoyed an all-expense paid trip abroad because she was friendly.

The truth is, if you want to enjoy the benefits of friendship, you must first be friendly and give to friends. Do away with bad habits because bad habits will make good people stay away from you, after all, like will always attract like.

ACTION POINT:

If you need a good friend, be a good person.

HYMNS: I’ve Found A Friend In Jesus

  1. I’ve found a friend in Jesus,
    He’s everything to me,
    He’s the fairest of ten thousand to
    my soul;
    The Lily of the Valley, in Him
    alone I see
    All I need to cleanse and make
    me fully whole.
    In sorrow He’s my comfort, in
    trouble He’s my stay;
    He tells me every care on
    Him to roll.
    He’s the Lily of the Valley, the
    Bright and Morning Star,
    He’s the fairest of ten thousand
    to my soul.
  2. He all my griefs has taken,
    and all my sorrows borne;
    In temptation He’s my strong
    and mighty tow’r;
    I’ve all for Him forsaken,
    and all my idols torn
    From my heart and now
    He keeps me by His pow’r.
    Though all the world
    forsake me,
    and Satan tempt me sore,
    Through Jesus I shall safely
    reach the goal.
  3. He’ll never, never leave me,
    nor yet forsake me here,
    While I live by faith
    and do His blessed will;
    A wall of fire about me,
    I’ve nothing now to fear,
    From His manna He my
    hungry soul shall fill.
    Then sweeping up to glory to
    see His blessed face,
    Where rivers of delight
    shall ever roll.
