You ought to see this boy in school. He is something else! Shall we call him David? Ah! So you know him too. He grew up in the most forgotten village in the Kingdom. But he was traced and brought to the palace. He became the king's friend. And the king loved him for his simplicity. He was honest and true.

But above all, David knew when to talk and when not to talk. He knew what to say and what not to say. David was not given to too much talking. But when he talks, his words are very weighty. Now, listen. Must you say all you know on every matter? Must you sing the dirty song? Making yourself cheap will not endear you to the King of kings. Even earthly kings will soon do away with you when they get to know you are a person of low morals.

Do you want to reach the top? Do you want to be a friend of the King? Then do the following:

Cultivate godly virtues

Even in normal interaction with people, we often cherish individuals who have godly virtues. How much more the King of kings. He makes friends with people that have godly virtues. Therefore, cultivate godly virtues.

Speak words that edify

Don't speak insulting words to people even if they have offended you. Some people speak words that another person will hear and think of committing suicide. That's not good at all. It will not endear you to the King.

Attract godly people around you

Move with godly people. It will do you a whole lot of good. Moving with ungodly people will also make you ungodly as evil communication corrupts good manners. Your godly attribute will attract godly people to you.

Develop productive skills to keep you creatively engaged

It is a known phenomenon that the devil finds work for idle hands. Develop yourself with creative skills. Don't be idle. The King will not make an idle person His friend.

Cherish your relationship with God

Your relationship with God is the best relationship you can ever have in life. Cherish it very well.

Keep yourself pure

Keep yourself pure. It's very important because the King will not make friends with defiled people.

Whoever cannot increase you will eventually decrease you.
