Bad Company Corrupts Good Character!

Yes, there is a need to avoid Bad Company. 1 Corinthians 15: 33 says this " Do not be misled:  “Bad company corrupts good character.” (NIV). Do your friends corrupt your morals? Do you allow your friends to corrupt your morals?  It is important to choose wisely who you allow to influence you. We are humans and are easily corrupted by the company we keep. We need to prevent others bad influences from causing us to become a bad influence on ourselves and others.  Friends can either help us or harm us. Only You can choose the company you keep! God made the statement in His Word, the Bible, which proclaims " Do not be misled:  “Bad company corrupts good character.”  (NIV). This statement reminds us that we are a building board for Jesus and we must not Waiver and stumble off the path that God has set for us. Bad company can have a great influence on our walk with God. It can trick us into thinking that we can keep the wrong type of company and continue o...

Joy

Where is Joy found? Where do you find your Joy! 11  "In Your presence  is  fullness of joy" (Psalm 16: 11) (NIV). Where is Joy found? Do you find yourself seeking joy in a friend, a book, a hobby, or even in your job? I assure you now that type of Joy doesn't last very long Joy may be easy to find but quick to lose. Joy can be lost so quickly and there are so many ways to lose it.For example, you have joy but then you lose it after receiving terrible news or if you lose your phone, car keys or wallet. In life, you go through so many emotions, so many situations, so many ups and so many downs, but do you focus on the bad and how they cause you to feel or the  Good.  You  have the choice to choose, are you going to focus on the Good or the bad? A Christian life is goodness, peace and  JOY.  This is what the bible tells us. "...The Kingdom of God is not a matter of what we eat or drink, but of living, but of righteousness, peace...

Are you Willing to Change?

Will you choose to remain the same or make a change? 26  “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”  (Matthew 19:26) (NIV). Change is about making choices. Thinking of change or desiring to change will not generate change into your life. You have to choose to change.  It requires a choice. Ask yourself where do I see myself in 2, 3, 4 years time? Will I be better than I am a year from now? Am I going to be more mature, healthier, or happier? Am I going to be like God wants me to be? These will only happen if you choose to make that change. Do you want to change your situation, your life or are you content with the way things are? Why do we think that God is instantly going to change us, we must have faith in him? He is waiting on you, for you to say that 'Yes, I am willing to make changes in my life Lord'. You may have tried to deal with a problem or situation and have failed. This isn't about trying, it's about seeing a transfor...
