My good friends @okere-blessing and @precious123

Introduction

You know, the word friends meant so much to me. I have good friends and bad friends. Yes good friends are those friends who love you for what you are not because of what you have but because they love you. A bad friend is that friend that love you only when he is eating from you or when he is in higher position more than you. That friend that will always give you excuse why he did what he did. That friend that is not happy when there is a smile on your face.

From their fruit you shall know them.

When Jesus was on Earth, he made the above statement. He use it to illustrate the wicked pharisees. In real life, Avacado tree can only bear Avacado fruits. If someone show you Avacado tree, you already know the fruits it bears likewise any other tree that bears fruits.

There is this saying that, what is born of snake must be tall. Imagine a snake of 7 years but 2 feet tall. I know you will look at it several times to be sure if it is snake. Now let's talk more on the topic of the day. Show me your friends and I will tell you who you are Many have decieved themselves saying, even if I walk with a thief, i will not be a thief, I know how to follow them. Who told you that you are right. You will never be wiser than your creator who said in Holy Book that Bad association spoils useful habit

If you have a friend who is honest and you are not honest, you will learn to be honest or he will learn to be dishonest. One thing is sure, you either learn his ways or he learn your ways. Another thing is this, if your friend is a smoker but you are not, it is best known to you. People around you will never believe you that you are not a smoker. Let me share true life story with you. It happened on 23/8/2020 in my city.

A young Man of 35 years was caught steeling from a nearby shop. He was alone but as he was recieving beating from angry Men because thieves has been terrorising the community, he mentioned his friends name who was not aware of what happened who is not a thief too as fee people said but he always walk with the accused one. He has been warned not to follow the accused but he said, i am not a thief, i am trying to help him to stop steeling.

Unfortunately to him, he saw crowd of people beating someone so he went to see what was happening and as he reached there, they hold him and start beating him as well. He tried to know why they are beating him but no answer. It is a painful story as he was burnt by his thief friend that same hour. He showed the world his friend and they told him who he is(a third)

The lesson

If you are living in front of a church and it happens that you do not go to church on Sundays. They church starts by 8:am and close by 2:pm. In as much as you are in the house, you will be hearing them. You will gradually learn there style of worship even though you did not enter the church. Why? Because you always hear them sing it or say it every Sunday. It is like that in everything. Like the 2 friends of mine that I mentioned earlier @precious123 and @okere-blessing, there consistency has affected me so much because am close to them.

Wow, I'm opportuned to be your friend, this friendship with you has not only added value to my life but I've learnt lessons from your experiences.

I'm really sorry for the man who got burnt alongside his friend just because he was accused by the thief he called a friend

Bad association corrupts and if two persons cannot agree they won't be together. This is true to life story. It is educative.

We should be mindful of the people we call our friends because that are best friend can one day kill us or become our enemy. When you keep a friend who don't have same characteristics with you, you will have to cut that relationship or you will pay for what you don't know
