AVOID BAD FRIENDS, DON'T BE A HOT-TEMPERED PERSON

 "Don't make friends with people who have hot, violent tempers. You might learn their habits and not be able to change. Proverbs 22:24-25 GNT" 


The Word of God warns us not to associate with people of bad character, those with behaviors that do not please God. This kind of friendship can bring you great harm, especially if you are living a righteous life.

The Bible clearly explains why we should not be close to someone with a temper. The reason is found in the next verse, which says: " or you may learn their ways and get yourself ensnared." Proverbs 22:25 

This message isn't just for angry people, but for all those with bad habits. When you make friends with someone who has bad behaviors, you will start to change and become like one of them. The Word of God says:

"Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness?" 2 Corinthians 6:14 

So today, make the decision to cut off any friendships or associations with a person or friends that do not have good character. Also, if you have any bad habits, especially a temper, ask God to help you change and leave those behaviors behind. The Bible says:

"Refrain from anger and turn from wrath; do not fret—it leads only to evil. For those who are evil will be destroyed, but those who hope in the Lord will inherit the land. A little while and the wicked will be no more; though you look for them, they will not be found. But the meek will inherit the land and enjoy peace and prosperity." Psalms 37:8-11 

Prayer: Lord Jesus, You are the one who can change me. I ask You to forgive me and cleanse my heart, make me a peaceful person. Amen.

THE WISEST THING TO DO IN YOUR LIFE

  Daniel 12:3 (GNT) says, “The wise leaders will shine with all the brightness of the sky. And those who have taught many people to do what is right will shine like the stars forever.” This verse speaks about the reward God will give His faithful people on the last day. Those who live with wisdom and lead others to righteousness will shine like stars in the sky—forever. What a powerful promise! Today, I want to teach you how to be wise so you can receive this reward. The Bible says in James 1:5 (NKJV), “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God...”  This means wisdom comes from God, and He is willing to give it to anyone who asks. When you receive God’s wisdom, you will learn how to live the right way and make decisions that please Him. You will also have the power to guide others. The wisest thing you can ever do in life is to preach the Gospel—to help people turn away from sin and accept Jesus Christ. That is the kind of wisdom that brings eternal rewards. Also, if you ...

MISPLACED FEAR

Matthew 10:28  (NKJV) says: “And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.”   This is a direct call from Jesus to correct our fears. Many people fear human threats, sickness, poverty, storms, or death. Yet Jesus reminds us that these things can only touch the body. The true danger is sin, because it separates us from God and leads to eternal destruction. The only fear that matters is the fear of God, for He alone holds the destiny of both the body and soul. One day I was in a garage fixing my car. It was an open space and suddenly it began raining heavily. All the mechanics rushed to take shelter inside. As we stood, they began sharing jokes, laughing about drinking and the women they slept with. I always preach to them, telling them to repent and receive Jesus. But they laughed it off. As we were standing there inside, suddenly the storm grew stronger, with thunder and lightning flashin...
