RELATIONSHIP WITH RIGHT PEOPLE

 


Proverbs 14:7 (GNT) says, “Stay away from foolish people; they have nothing to teach you.”


This verse is a clear and loving warning from God. God is not being harsh; He is being protective. He knows that the people you stay close to will shape your thinking, your choices, and your future. When God tells you to stay away from foolish people, it is because He wants to protect your life and your destiny.


A fool is a person who acts without wisdom, judgment, or prudence. They make decisions without thinking about consequences. They often act recklessly, lack common sense, and are easily deceived. A fool may also behave in a silly, careless, or thoughtless way. Such a person does not learn from correction and does not value wisdom. Being close to them may feel fun, but it is dangerous.


Today’s word is a warning. God says foolish people “have nothing to teach you.” This means there is no profit in learning from them. Stop for a moment and examine your friendships. Ask yourself, What am I learning from my friends? Are they helping you grow, or are they pulling you down? You can be close to someone for years and still learn nothing useful from them.


What God is saying is this: what you learn from a fool has no value. And what has no value will eventually destroy you. The Bible warns us, “Do not be misled: ‘Bad company corrupts good character’” (1 Corinthians 15:33, NIV). It also says, (*“Whoever walks with the wise becomes wise, but the companion of fools will suffer harm”** (Proverbs 13:20, ESV). These verses clearly show that relationships affect our lives deeply.


God cares about your friends and the people you surround yourself with. He cares about who you talk to, who you listen to, and who influences your decisions. Why? Because people have power. They can either build what God has placed in you or destroy it slowly. Many people lose their peace, faith, and purpose not because of the devil directly, but because of wrong relationships.


God wants you to associate with the right people. From them, you will gain wisdom, encouragement, and strength. Right people will help you grow in faith, make wise choices, and become a better person. Today, make a decision to walk away from harmful relationships. Ask God to give you good friends who will strengthen your faith and guide you in wisdom.


Prayer: Lord, separate me from wrong relationships and connect me with wise and godly.

REPENTANCE, DELIVERANCE AND RESTORATION

  JOEL 2 Joel 2 reminds us that repentance isn’t God pushing us away—it’s God calling us back. When the Lord says, “Even now, return to me with all your heart” (Joel 2:12), it’s full of hope. Even now means right where you are, in the middle of real life, God is still inviting you to turn back to Him. He’s not asking for religious performances or dramatic displays, which is why He says, “Rend your heart and not your garments” (Joel 2:13). God is simply asking for honesty. He wants our hearts, not our acting. And the reason we can come back without fear is because He is gracious, compassionate, slow to anger, and full of love—always ready to receive us. David describes this same experience so personally in Psalm 32. He says, “Blessed is the one whose transgressions are forgiven” (Psalm 32:1), and then he admits how heavy life felt when he tried to hide his sin. He talks about feeling worn down and exhausted until he finally brought everything into the open before God. The mom...

THE MONTH OF EROS

Understanding Eros Eros , the Greek term for passionate love, is beautifully reflected in human relationships. Yet, the Bible invites us to discover a deeper, divine dimension of love, embodied in God Himself. In our search for guidance, we often turn to the relationships of others for advice. While well-intentioned, this can sometimes lead us astray, moving us away from God’s word and His plan for perfect relationships.  We must remember that the ultimate model of love is right before us in the Holy Trinity . It embodies the profound power of oneness, unwavering commitment, and deep understanding. The Trinity is not just a theological concept but a living example of perfect love, inviting us to align our relationships with divine wisdom. By embracing the teachings and love demonstrated within the Trinity, we open ourselves to building relationships that reflect God’s intended harmony and joy. Let us look to this divine example and transform our relationships into ones of true uni...
