FRIENDSHIP

Have you ever wondered why some people are not getting it right in the aspect of friendship?. This is because they have not been enlightened on what friendship entails OR basically have not defined their stage of friendship

One holiday,my younger sister came to tell me that one of my friends asked about me and I was like my friend? I have to ask her again and she said yes. I smiled and asked “Who”...Fortunately, it was one of my class mates in secondary school that have not seen for years. Then I sat her down and I told  her it is not everyone you relate to are your FRIENDS .I made her have that understanding,also I told her I choose my friends because the kind of friends you move with determines your FUTURE.Not because I am proud but I have learnt to identify who are my friends.

*WHO IS A FRIEND*
I know a lot of people have their own definition but I still want to share my own opinion
*A friend is someone you create things together
*A friend is a favored companion
*A friend is someone you allow to influence you
*A friend is someone who you share the same idea
*A friend is someone who is walking in, when everyone else is walking out.
     As a believer,the kind of friends we have must bless, impact and reflect in our lives because we are of the *WORD* and not of the *WORLD*.We are expected to keep friends we share the same believe and ideas(Godly friends). James 4:4.

*ATTRIBUTES OF A FRIEND*
1.Proverb 27:9.Just as ointment and perfume gives sensual delight, a sweet friendship refreshes the soul.
2.They stick by your side and help your faith grow stronger in Christ (proverb 19:24).
3.Pushes you nearer to God.
4.Proverb 17:17.Love you at all times.
5.They don't hinder your relationship with God .
     You need to know the character your friends posses,if it is a kind of character that is not always supportive to your ideas you need to separate because I learnt a single soul dwelling into two bodies make up a friend,that is you share the same thoughts, ideas, things and sometimes money.

*BENEFITS OF FRIENDSHIP*
1.They add beauty and joy to our lives.
2.Source of encouragement.
3.They give advice.
4.Foundation of higher level in life.
5.To correct your errors.
     Someone you can share your problem with and trust one another.
*
*HOW TO MAINTAIN YOUR FRIENDSHIP**
1.Love each other.
2.Add values to each other.
3.Give to each other.
4.Help each other (standing in gap for one another).
5.Pray for one another.
       There are various ways to maintain your friendship but this are some of the basics.

So,who is/are your friend(s)...You need to identify that.
What are the characters they posses?
What have you gained? and
How have you maintained it?

FRIENDSHIP is Good, if it is with the RIGHT person /people.

DON'T BE FRUSTRATED

Many at times, you don't look like what you are going through  Because you have tried the mastery skills of hiding and managing situations and have gotten used to it  Many at times, you wonder why people who has done the worst things ever, still get more favour than you doing the right thing  Many at times, Guys has played you even the believers and you kept wondering if the fault is from you because you are not just getting it right in relationships  Sometimes, you always try to understand the situation but the truth is, you are tired of it and most time you find it hard to let go and forget the situation. Sometimes, you just want to follow the crowd but you realize in between that you got lost and can't just proceed with the plan.. I know things can be difficult  I know many people or various things are frustrating  I know it's not easy living in circles with no progression I know you have plans but it just doesn't go the right way  So dear sisters, ...

THE JOURNEY

Last 2 year, I started a journey on my health and I'm grateful. Even though I wasn't consistent especially after the coaching session but I had to strive to ensure the journey continues even though I fall, I still get myself back  Imagine being a lover of heels and you can't wear it for too long Having to sweat profusely, Having knee ache pains, Sewing new dresses because you can't wear your favorite dress Imagine lot's more because of weight gain, That was me.. Before you go further and think it's only food that cause weight gain.  Mine wasn't, I could say it was stay at home, free hands and no stress kind of reason (I don't know how best to put it) I know I'm not a slim person but I was already weighing 110kg. Lolz, 2 bags of cement. Then I told myself Temilade, it has to change  I found the solution DIET, It was at the point where I realized I couldn't be myself and also seeing changes, I decided to take my health serious  I subscribed to a di...

A DAILY REMINDER

I know you are going through all shades of different phase, I know you are thinking of what next, I know the hardship is tough and you feel your strength is failing but, This is a reminder To relax, To not get angry over small things, To stay calm. A daily reminder To be yourself, To not care what people think, To know you can be anything. To love yourself, To not hurt yourself, To not work yourself up. This is a daily reminder That you are beautiful, That you can be hardworking  That you are amazing, That you will succeed. To always have hope, To have faith, To know everything will be okay. A daily reminder That you have made it so far already, That you haven't given up, And you are going to be amazing. Don't give up. Keep holding on and believing.  It's a start of a new year and it's too early to feel pressured or insecure God cannot fail you, Be persist in that Job hunt Be persist in trusting God  Be expectant, don't loose guard  Everything will fall in place...
