MESSAGE:
No one is an island, we all need someone to be friends with. In fact, there are some heights one would attain in life as a result of the good relationship one has with people. Hence, we all need a good friend in our lives. During Jesus’ earthly ministry, He had twelve disciples and amongst them, He had three close friends. You too should have good friends.
How do you find good friends? First, make sure the fellow you want to befriend is a child of God like you because if he/she isn’t, it would not take long before he/she makes you turn away from God.
He/she must also be serious with his/her academics. Don’t build a friendship with someone that would prefer to engage in frivolous activities when he/she should be studying. Also, a good friend must be interested in your progress. If he/she is not particular about your growth and success, then, you should never be friends with him/her.
KEY POINT:
Make friends with your kind.
HYMN: Let Others See Jesus In You
CHORUS
Let others see Jesus in you,
Let others see Jesus in you;
Keep telling the story, be faithful and true,
Let others see Jesus in you.
