Friendship
is a gift, awarded by the Supreme Being of nature. I've been blessed
with some quality friends recently that gave me a new perspective to
life. It's of utmost importance to sail with friends that are of like
minds and headed towards a positive goal(Prov. 13:20). Your circle of friends will
determine your level of success and thinking. Friends that don't have
the same mindset and vision with you can be potential envious
enemies. So one has to be very careful mingling with enemies while
perceiving them as friends. I call them hidden enemies, backstabber,
backbiters, their position will always be behind you.
You
will always be ahead of your enemies if God is on your side. Good
Friends can also act as prominent helpers of destiny, advising you to
tread on your promised pathway of destiny. Some friends will help in
achieving your dreams, while some will derail your from the path of
your dream.
The
bible highlighted a fascinating story of good friendship that
blossomed between David and Saul's son Jonathan(1Sam. 18:1-5), their friendship saw
a test of time through destined trials that David encountered after
king Saul enviously sought after his soul when he saw David as a
competitor for his kingdom and throne when he triumphed in killing
Goliath who has been a pestilence for the children of Israel over a
period of time and therefore won the praise and glory of Israelites.
Any
friendship that is detrimental to realising your destiny must be
terminated. Cut-off fake friends, and appreciate real friends. I pray
for someone reading this journal that your fake friends will be
revealed to you while your helpers of destiny that will manifest as
real friends will locate you speedily.
Celebrate
good friends and always be available as a real friend to someone
also, because it's vice-versa.
The
camaraderie of friendship is like a ship of friendship, sailing to
the promised land of friendship, encountering and overcoming storms
of friendship to get to the promised treasure island of friendship.
