Why Choose Christ-Minded Friends Over Like-Minded Friends?

Why Choose Christ-Minded Friends Over Like-Minded Friends?

by | Jun 16, 2025 | Christian Walk, Dating & Relationships

We prefer surrounding ourselves with people who agree with us and make us comfortable, don’t we? These friends that we choose more often than not, reflect the condition of our heart and more importantly, will influence the person we are going to be tomorrow.

 That’s why more than like-minded friends, we need Christ-minded friends! You need to surround yourself with those who think more like Jesus and less like you.

 The Bible says in Proverbs 13:20, “Whoever walks with the wise becomes wise, but the companion of fools will suffer harm.”

Who is a Christ-Minded friend?

So you may be wondering, what is a Christ-minded friend like? Proverbs 11:30 says, “he who wins souls is wise” – this can only be a hallmark of a Christ-minded friend.

Christ-minded friends are friends who genuinely love the Word and who can correct you in the ways of God. As David says in Psalm 119:63 NLT, “I am a friend to anyone who fears you— anyone who obeys your commandments.”

When David committed adultery with Bathsheba, it was his friend Nathan the prophet who confronted him and that opened David’s eyes to the blunder he had made.

“Iron sharpens iron, and one man sharpens another.” (Proverbs 27:17)

Christ-minded friends are precious because they are not afraid to challenge you to look more like Jesus, speak more like Him, and be more like Him.

The Bible says, An honest answer is the sign of true friendship (Proverbs 24:26).

Another example of godly friendships is Daniel and his three God-fearing friends, Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego. They were brought to Babylon as captives, but in their friendship they stood together against all odds – whether being in danger of annihilation by King Nebuchadnezzar, or whether being thrown in the fire for their faith.

The end result of their lives? God raised them to influential positions in the province of Babylon next only to the king.

Oh the sweet joy of godly friendships where your faith and love for Jesus becomes contagious and together you start influencing the world around you.

 

Choose Friendships That Will Keep You in the Perfect Will of God

 

You see, “Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labour: if either of them falls down, one can help the other up. But pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up.” (Ecclesiastes 4:9-10)

There is nothing greater than to be in the center of God’s will for your life – that’s where you will find success and abundance of joy flowing into your career, marriage, family, ministry and everything that is connected to you. Christ-minded friends will drive you into this!

This season let’s evaluate our friendships. Are they pushing us closer to Jesus, or are they drawing us away from Him? Remember, the friends you choose to keep will influence not only your present but also our future. So, choose well!

5 Lies You Believed About Your Friends!
Are You Settling for the Second Best?

Are You Settling for the Second Best?

by | May 24, 2025 | Christian Walk, Dating & Relationships

Everyone’s getting engaged, married or having children and wondering when it will be your turn? Or are you just compromising and settling for a boy just because the clock is ticking even though you know he’s not the right one?

Girls, I believe the Lord wants you to hear this today.

marriage, single

Recently, I came across a reel of a very popular Bollywood actress where she was sharing how her father, when he was alive, gave her an eight carat diamond ring and told her that any boy that she decides to spend her life with has to beat that standard.

Immediately, the Holy Spirit spoke to me saying, her father gave her a diamond ring and do you see what your Father in heaven gave you? When God had to show His love, He didn’t give you diamonds or gold or silver but He gave His only begotten Son to die for you.

Girls, this is what you are worth..

And take a moment to picture this – when Jesus had to die it wasn’t with His arms straight or tied to His side, but rather with His arms open wide, pierced and nailed to the cross. And He did that while you and I were still sinners. (Romans 5:8)

That’s the worth your Father has placed on you. Can any boy beat that standard?

No man will ever be able to! Does that mean you shouldn’t get married? Certainly not! But the point that I’m trying to make is, don’t get swayed by the so called standards and timelines of this world. Don’t settle for the second best just because you feel you won’t get anyone better. Know your worth!

If you desire to get married, tell your Father in heaven and ask Him to prepare you in this season.

Trust your God. Trust His timing. He’s too faithful. He’s too good. And this God who gave you His son, will He not also graciously and lovingly give you what you desire? (Romans 8:32)

Only keep your eyes fixed on Him.

Here’s a song that Author Kim recently shared on telegram that has blessed me and every time I hear it, I can’t stop weeping at this line.

He has done great things.

Arms open wide, Lamb crucified.

Worthy is He

I hope it blesses you and reminds you of the good good Father you serve and the worth He has placed on you.

(Song – He has done great things)

How To Confirm If He Is The One For Me? (ebook)

How To Confirm If He Is The One For Me? (ebook)

Who you choose to marry is the most important decision of your life that can catapult you into your calling or ruin it completely.

Very often young boys and girls come excitedly to us talking about how God gave a “confirmation” about that “someone” who is to be their life partner. We feel the Word confirmation is thrown so loosely nowadays that it really doesn’t carry the weight of what it is supposed to be.

 We compiled this short resource especially for you, to give you some basic confirmation checkpoints that will help you make a Spirit-led decision regarding your life partner.

When Everyone Is Getting Married But You

When Everyone Is Getting Married But You

by | Feb 23, 2025 | Dating & Relationships

Have you ever opened Facebook or Instagram and found your feed flooded with wedding photos? If you’re single, it can feel like everyone is getting married—except you.

I remember in 2020 when an old classmate asked about my life. She was shocked to hear I was still single. She told me that many of our classmates were married, and some were even expecting their first child. For a moment, I felt sad. But then I heard God gently remind me:“Don’t compare your season with someone else’s season.”

God spoke to my heart, explaining that I shouldn’t measure my life against others. He reminded me that earlier that year, He had called me to a season of singleness—a time to heal, grow, and prepare for marriage. Looking back, I realize that 2020 became a year of deep inner healing for me.

Discover why preparation in singleness is crucial for a strong, godly marriage. Learn how to embrace this season, heal, grow spiritually, and trust God's perfect timing.

Why Preparation Matters

You might wonder, “Why is inner healing so important?” Well, without it, the hurts from my past would have erupted like a volcano in my future marriage, causing unnecessary pain.

Many people think marriage will “fix” their wounds, but the truth is—marriage magnifies what’s already inside you. If you carry unhealed pain, it will surface sooner or later. That’s why God, in His wisdom, leads us into seasons of preparation before bringing us into a new season of blessing.

The Time to Prepare, Like Esther

“Prepare, prepare, prepare!” That’s what I kept hearing from God when I asked Him, “When will my marriage happen?” My pastor even told me a secret: You can ask God when your marriage will happen, and He’ll tell you.God revealed to me that I would be married in 2022. And time and time again, He confirmed it.

While waiting for marriage, it’s important to use this season of singleness wisely. We can take inspiration from Esther, who spent an entire year preparing herself before meeting the king.

The Bible tells us in Esther 2:12:“Before a young woman’s turn came to go in to King Xerxes, she had to complete twelve months of beauty treatments prescribed for the women, six months with oil of myrrh and six with perfumes and cosmetics.”

If Esther, a woman chosen by God for a royal purpose, had to undergo a season of preparation, how much more should we as women of God? Our preparation should go beyond external beauty to emotional, mental, and spiritual readiness.

Use This Time Wisely

Before God brings you into your next season, He prepares you in this one—embrace the process, for His timing is perfect.Here are some ways to use this time well:

✅ Deepen your relationship with God
✅ Learn to receive joy from God – to be content without your dependance on man.
✅ Heal from past wounds and disappointments
✅ Get involved in your church and serve
✅ Surround yourself with married and single friends who are spiritually mature
✅ Learn from godly marriages and hear teachings on it

Remember, preparation now will lead to a stronger, healthier marriage later. Instead of focusing on when it will happen, focus on who you are becoming.


God’s timing is perfect, and when your season arrives, you’ll be ready for it.

XOXO,

Feeling Hopeless? Or Desperate?

Feeling Hopeless? Or Desperate?

by | Jun 4, 2022 | Christian Walk, Dating & Relationships

Hey, daughter of God. Are you feeling hopeless? Or are you in the midst of a situation where you’re desperate for help?

Well, here’s what David did when he found himself in a similar situation…

 But David found STRENGTH in the Lord!! 1 Sam 30:6

 Yes, the situation was desperate; the enemy had taken their families and not just their belongings. They were taken captive and not just RANSOME. They were gone, nothing to the sight, a hopeless situation. And they were ‘AS GOOD AS DEAD’, actually WORSE than dead. Death closes the chapter, captivity meant they were alive but none knew where they were.

 Ever been in that situation, where you see your loved one being dragged away from you ? Or everything you had was lost or was taken from you?

Go to God

 

The husbands, the fathers, the mighty men of valor in David’s army could do nothing but cry and moan. They lost even their senses as they wanted to stone David believing he was the reason for their children and wives missing. David was left with none, alone, pressed down, he was in despair but he knew the GOD he believed in HAD NOT LEFT HIS SIDE!!

This is a reminder if you are feeling hopeless or if you are in a desperate situation when you are losing strength and peace – GO TO GOD!

David “FOUND” “STRENGTH” in the Lord!

We later see in this story how he eventually gets back all that the enemy had dared taken from him and more!!

David recovered everything the Amalekites had taken, including his two wives. Nothing was missing: young or old, boy or girl, plunder or anything else they had taken. David brought everything back. He took all the flocks and herds, and his men drove them ahead of the other livestock, saying, “This is David’s plunder.” 1 Sam 30:18-20

Be encouraged, go to GOD, and FIND your STRENGTH in Him!!
