You need this type of people around you in this world: a friend who will tell you the bitter truth no matter what it is. Truth is bitter but it heals. Lies are sweet but have bitter consequences at the end. Someone who doesn’t worship your feelings and opinions but goes ahead to tell you the bitter truth in love is indispensable on the path of success. If you are blessed by God to have this kind of people around you please cherish them and value them dearly. There are many sycophants around who will never tell you the truth, even if they know that you are on the wrong path heading for destruction, because they do not want to offend you. A true friend would rather choose to offend you by telling you the truth rather than tell you the lie that will make you happy for a moment. www.hosannadavid.com
Good people owe those they help the obligation of protecting themselves from being killed by evil people so that they can live and continue to do good because there is no activity in the grave.
In life being good is good. We have been commanded by the Lord Jesus Christ to do good to all. But we must not forget that we need to be alive to enable us continue to do good. We owe those we help the obligation of protecting ourselves from being killed by evil people so that we continue to do good because there is no activity in the grave. Therefore, as we take risks to help others let’s also consider our own safety.
Matthew 10:16 says “Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.”
If good people do not apply this principle of safety harmlessness this world will soon become totally go bankrupt of good people.
No matter how anointed you are there are boundaries you must erect and maintain to respect your humanity. If you do not respect your humanity your flesh will not respect your spirituality.
In dealing with your weaknesses there are people you must not expose your weaknesses to. I know that sometimes you feel like talking to someone, but you don’t need to talk to just anybody.
Talk to only the person that can help you get solution, not someone who has nothing to offer, not someone that will take advantage of your weaknesses. If you are blind you don’t need a blind man to walk you through your dark moments. What you need is a man that sees, knows the way and also ready to help you out.
In dealing with your weakness there are people you need to expose your weakness to and there are people you must hide your weakness from, if you are want to succeed in life and in your Christian life.
When you deal with those you don’t trust don’t close your eyes because you want them to use their conscience.
Many people regret in life because they trust those who have not earned their trust. When you deal with those you don’t trust don’t close your eyes because you want them to use their conscience. If you need to supervise them please do because a lot of people today do not have conscience, while some others have dead conscience.
