God bless Jonathan

Excuse me dear reader, do you have a Jonathan for a friend? Oh please go and get one. You need to have a friend as good as Jonathan; otherwise, it will be difficult for you to ever become king. " My name is David. I was the second king of Israel and although Saul was not around when Prophet Samuel anointed me king, yet he became suspicious of my popularity especially after, by the grace of God, I killed Goliath.

I thought the king would be happy with me after I married his daughter, but he was not. Instead, he gave instructions to all his servants that they should kill me. That was when Jonathan intervened. God bless Jonathan. He was a true and courageous friend. Jonathan went to his father, the king and pleaded for me. God helped Jonathan and the king listened to his plea. What could I ever do or become without the timely intervention of Jonathan."

Jonathan never cared if he got to the throne or not. All he wanted was the best for his friend. A compassionate friend. A selfless and loving friend.

Young people do not like to be alone. They prefer to be identified with one group of friends or the other. This accounts for their regular change of friends. It is interesting observing new entrants to higher institutions. They are approached by representatives of different groups in the campus, such as religious and occult groups. Their mission is to recruit potential members into their groups through unsolicited friendship and assistance. Unsuspecting new students have fallen victims of these social deviants to their hurts.

There is great danger in keeping company with peers of strange behavior.

There are lots of good people today who have been negatively influenced by bad friends. They'll mislead us on our paths to success. Solomon says" my son, if sinners entice thee, consent thou not if they say, come with us... My son, walk not in the way with them; refrain the foot from their path"

Associating with people of questionable character will mar our future.

Friendship can be very rewarding. That relates to friends that are intimate with eachother in a sincere, honest and profitable relationship with good principle. The influence of friends in your life can either be very wonderful or alarming. Selfish friends have nothing good to offer you but to use you to serve their interest. If your friends are generous and cordial, they will bring out the potentials in your life.

Birds of a feather flock together. When you move with serious minded students, you will receive challenges to study hard for success. Your future is at stake if you keep any relationship with truants, latecomers and noisemakers in school. A friend who will not encourage you to go to school or challenge you to grow spiritually is not an ideal companion and should be avoided.

Every nation needs a Jonathan too. Let's take a look at our president of yesterday. Let's look the good things his tenure brought to us. He was a father and friend. He is known as a peace keeping man. We need a leader like Jonathan.

You need a Jonathan too in your life that will link you up with the king and all the people you need to find favour with today. I also pray that God will make you a Jonathan in other people's life.

Thanks so much for your time.
