Who are your friends? 2

“… a friend of fools shall become like them.” Proverbs 13:20b (DRB)

Show me your friend and I will show you your future. Our opening scripture shows us that a friend of fools shall become like them. Therefore, unless you make the right adjustments and decision today on the kind of friends you keep, you will end up sharing the same destiny with your foolish friends.

How can you immediately identify that you are in the companionship of fools? Proverbs 14:1(CEV) says, “Only a fool would say, "There is no God!" People like that are worthless; they are heartless and cruel and never do right.” The moment you find yourself in the company of anyone that does not believe in God, the Bible calls that individual a fool, therefore the wise decision to make is to cut off from such companionship. The Bible says such people are worthless, heartless and cruel and they never do right. You should not be in the company of such persons.

Another way to identify the companionship of fools is shown to us in Proverbs 1:7b (AMP), “… fools despise skillful and godly Wisdom, instruction, and discipline.” Anyone or group of persons that has no value for the wisdom of God, teaching,  instruction, discipline and those who are role models of Godly wisdom is a  companion of fools. Do not tolerate friendship with anyone that encourages you not to follow godly counsel and integrity. From such turn away because they are the companion of fools they only lead to a sad end and destruction.

Prayer.
Dear Father, I ask that you help me to identify every fraudulent relationship that is sabotaging my destiny, in Jesus' Name. Amen.

Doing the Word.
Separate yourself from the companion of fools.
