The Christ Effect On Your Friendship – Pastor Enoabasi Iyang – 12/03/2023 TS

Where exactly are your friends? It reduces anxiety and depression and it increases our self esteem. A friend is someone you share a strong bond with and spend a lot of time with and is your ride or die.
1Thessalonians5:7 “Friends encourage one another and build one another”.Friends forgive one another. Friends are in agreement and they can do a lot (Ecclesiastes 4:9). Friends lift each other up(Ecclesiastes 4:10). Friends pray for one another(Job 42:10).

Friends do not gossip one another. Friendship means loyalty and are not competitive with one another.Friends don’t beat down each other. Those that compare themselves with themselves are not wise.
Evaluate the relationships and find out who is truly your friend.
Where you should put your time and money is in things that will accomplish your goals.
Father! Children doesn’t just need your money,they need your We.

Do not be afraid to demote or promote people in your life.
Jesus has to go for the Spirit to come. He disseminate Himself in many people when He went back to Heaven. He became the good shepherd,resurrection and life. Jesus is the friend that you really need that’s inside of you that can make your life meaningful.
He is a friend that is closer than a relative.

Lazarus died,but he was a friend of Jesus. Sometimes businesses die or things may not be going well but you are still a friend of Jesus. Some of us know Jesus as our paymaster and not as a friend. Some of us also misuse our relationship with Jesus. We have to invest In our relationship with Jesus. Study the scriptures and get a revelation of Him. When Jesus gets into our space, one thing that is required of us is yieldedness to him and be obedient to him.
Even in Lazarus death,Jesus is still In the business of making dead situation perfect. Ezekiel in the valley of dry bones(your mind) prophesied and flesh begin to come together and everything begins to come together.Speak The Spirit of God, Always declare The Word. If God can make your mind profitable,your life will line up.

Christ in you is the hope of glory. His glory doesn’t just show off in heaven ,it also shows off here on earth. Your way out of trouble and death is talking to your friend Jesus. He wants to be Lord and Friend. it will be sad if you go through earth and you don’t enjoy glory because you never even tried. Those that trust in the Lord will never lack any good thing. You will have your own. I have set before you life and death but choose life.
