YOUR ASSOCIATION AND YOUR FUTURE - Emmanuel D. Osoteku

Hello Dearest, Hoping you had a great time yesterday. Well, Your future has been my deepest concern over the years now. Yesterday, during evangelism(My Fathers Business , i met with some folks whom the Holy Spirit prompted me to talk to them about "YOUR ASSOCIATION AND YOUR FUTURE". I think these might help you also. Here are the timeless advice i gave to them. Choose your friends and Don't allow your friends to choose you. We all have to come to the reality that; we are as good as your association. Someone, once said 'show me your friends and i will tell you who you are'. Well, that might some good but does not hit the nail on the head. Here is the right saying ' SHOW ME YOUR FRIENDS AND I WILL TELL YOU YOUR FUTURE'. However, we have to be selective while choosing our friends. 'Those who are not Selective, can't be Effective'. In my today's post, i will be sharing with you 4 KINDS OF FRIENDS YOU MUST BE AWARE OF: 1. Friends who PLUS (+) YOUR LIFE: These kind of friends are those who add value to you, not just any value but positive values. The are additions to your future. They seek for ways to make you better. They can also be known as positive value contributors. 2. Friends who MINUS (-) YOUR LIFE: These kinds of friends are also known as PARASITE. if you are a bit familiar to Biology when you were in secondary school, you will remember that; Parasite are living organism, who feeds on their hosts to survive. Well, whether you like it or not, you have some parasite as friends. Let me give you more hints about these kind of friends. They posses this Give me, Give me Attitude. They only seek for what to get but never think of what to give. 3. Friends who DIVIDED ( / ) YOUR LIFE: Well, these category of friends are known as what the scripture refers to DOUBLE MINDED PEOPLE. These are friends who makes you indecisive. They take you to church on Sunday morning and on Sunday evening they still take you to club house. Sometimes, you tell them your secret but they go behind you to destroy your image. They are UNSTABLE AS WATER. Beware of them. 4. Lastly, Friends who MULTIPLIES (*) YOUR LIFE: These are my best category of friends. They are known as life transformers. They take you from where you are to where you ought to be. Simple arithmetic shows that 5+5 is not the same as 5*5. The former gives you 10 but the later gives you 25. Learn from all categories but select the two best + and * as covenant friends. Permit me to end with this word from Myles Monroe which says " The quality of your decisions determine the quality of your life". MAKE THE RIGHT DECISIONS TODAY. Thank You. Do have a Wonderful Day.
