Storms comes, storms goes, non last forever!! As the pandemic hits the world at large, putting a stop to virtually everything, from schools, churches, markets, businesses and relationships at large. Sometimes we experience storms to test our faith, sometimes to project us to our promise land, sometimes to show us who our real friends are. Now ask yourself this question :for the past 6months how many of my friends are really my friends?? True friends are tested in times like this. A prominent young man was about getting married, he invited all his friends, top class business men, celebrities, political leaders and what have you, made provisions for everything eatable, paid for a big bouquet hall, hired the best DJ in town, security was a thing to give zero worries about. Three(3) days to the wedding, his father set a message to all the guest telling them his son is in serious need of their help and that they will gather at the same venue which was meant for the wedding to see how they could help his son out. When the long awaited day came, the hall was set, you could imagine the crowd the bride and groom were expecting. On arrival, to their greatest surprise only 10% of their guest showed up, it was soon turning into a bittersweet moment, the groom walked up to his father and asked "Dad this is not everyone on my list" his father answered "I sent a message to all your guest, tell them you need their help and that we would gather here to see how we can help you, these are the only people that showed up. This our your real friends, others aren't your enemies but friends who are only concerned when it is beneficial to them. We've all got those two sets of friends, the ones who are our real friends usually few and the ones who only show up when they know they will gain something from you.
During this testing time, we should be able to differentiate amongst this two. Choose your friends wisely after the pandemic remember it wasn't an enemy who sold Jesus to the Pharisees.
Nice
