Topic: PROTECT YOUR FRIENDS
Biblical Text: ‘ A man that hath many friends must shew himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother’ . [Proverbs 18:24]
Jonathans soul was knit to David. He was his only friend. Out of envy, Jonathans father King Saul told Jonathan and all his servants to kill David. Jonathan did not yield to the instruction of his father, rather he quickly went to inform David about the intentions of his father towards him. He told him to go and hide in a secret place while he will go and discuss with his father about him. Jonathan pleaded on behalf of David; he told his father that David had been a faithful warrior to him. The father King Saul promised not to kill David again. A good friend must seek the protection of his friends and not expose them in the face of adversity. Jesus showed his love for us (his friends) by laying down his life to shield us from the wiles and attacks of the devil. One way to know a good friend can protect his friends is by showing them the way of salvation. They show their friends the secret place of the almighty where they can enjoy maximum protection. If you have friends that you have not shown the way of Christ despite numerous opportunities you have been presented, can you consider yourself a good friend? You need to protect your friends, pray for them until they accept Jesus and come under the shield of the almighty. When their understanding opens, they will value you as a good friend.

READ IT ∞ 1 Samuel 19:1-6, Acts 16:17, Psalm 91:1
