WHO IS YOUR FRIEND?

“And the Lord God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.” 
Genesis 2:18.

God made you for companionship. This is the reason why humans naturally like associations. Many like to belong to various groups because God created man for fellowship and relationship. No matter how much you like to stay alone, there will always come times when you need the companionship of others because God made man to be relational.

Even Jesus when He was on earth related with others. The Bible shows us this in Mark 3:14, “And he ordained twelve, that they should be with him …” If Jesus needed others to be with him, how much more you. The Bible also shows us that when Jesus was burdened and pressured with a lot of grief before His crucifixion, he took some of His companions to pray with him, “And he took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and very heavy. Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: tarry ye here, and watch with me.” Matthew 26:37-38. This again reveals to us the need for companionship in our lives.

Do not be an island. Build friendships that will add value to you and move you in the direction of the fulfilment of God's destiny for your life. Proverbs 27:17 says, “Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.”  It is in line with God's purpose for you to build and cultivate healthy relationships. You can start today.

Instruction.
