Dear YOUTH, who are your friends? By Olaogun Michael Sunkannmi



Who is a friend?
------------------------
According to UK dictionary,  a friend is a person  other than family or spouse or lover whose company one keep and whom one feels affection.

It is practically impossible to journey life without friend(s). Even animals keep friends, let alone humans. 

God himself understood the purpose of friendship from beginning and that was why Eve was created to keep company with Adam.  The trinity also can be regarded as friends. 

Check the account of life, virtually everyone has history with one friend or the other.
So, who are your friends?

Most youth travel life without paying due attention to the friends they keep, which is the reason many glowing stars have perished in darkness and went into perpetual oblivion.

How best you will fulfil destiny is also a function of friend(s)  you keep!

Devil has been so smart to make the company with bad influence so easy than it is with good company.  That's why you see young people flow swiftly in bad company.

Both God and devil are interested in the type of friends you keep.

God wants the best company for you do you can fulfill destiny.  While devil on the other hand engineer bad friends for you so that your  God's given destiny can be truncated.

Check the life those making meaningful impact around the wold, you will discover they have best of friends around them.
Who are your friends?

1st Corinthians 15:33 "Bad company corrupts good character." NLT.

So, it is important to say that no matter how good your parents and family background may be, if you move with bad friends, it is evidently certain that your destiny will be harmed. 

Don't abuse the liberty of choice to choose what can damn your life irredeemably. 

Do you know you have only one life to live?
Why not live well?

#Note: You can never grow beyond your circle of influence.

 By Olaogun Michael  No matter the agony on earth, Jesus shall come. No matter the enjoyment on earth, Jesus shall come. No matter your affinity with your family, Jesus shall come. No matter your wealth, Jesus shall come. No matter the betrayal, Jesus shall come. Have you been to Jesus for the cleansing power? Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb? Are you fully trusting in His grace this hour? Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?… Chorus: Are you washed in the blood, In the soul-cleansing blood of the Lamb? Are your garments spotless?  Are they white as snow? Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb? Be a ready BRIDE. Jesus shall come again.

 By Olaogun Michael  By my definition, time is life and life is time. Life is the greatest gift God has given to all creatures. God our creator understands the importance of time in the scheme of things according to the book of Ecclesiastes 3:1-8. In the time of creation, God spent time putting things in place for the benefit of man who was the last creature.  Unfortunately, of all the creatures of the creator, man which has dominion over all other creatures happens to be the one who has failed the purpose of its creation. Why? Because man has failed to use time effectively and judiciously. Time has the following features: pleasure, death, sorrow, happiness, success, failure, and so on. Most, unfortunately, time in its features has no recovery or backup. The latest technologies have in them backups, we make photocopies, we save on memory cards, we save on our emails and in our bank accounts but technology has never developed any mechanism to save time because time is MYSTERY!
