MFM Daily Devotional 28 May 2023 – Lessons from The Life of Jonathan (VI)

MFM Daily Devotional 28 May 2023 TOPIC: Lessons from The Life of Jonathan (VI) MEMORY VERSE A man that hath friends must show himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother. Proverbs 18:24  MOTIVATIONAL QUOTE: If you can’t be a pencil to write someone’s happiness, then try to be a nice eraser to remove their sadness. PROPHETIC WORD FOR TODAY God shall plant the Jonathan-kind of friends in the boat of your life, in the name of Jesus. FIRE SCRIPTURE: I Samuel 20:4-17 BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Job 6 – 8; John 17 – 18. MFM Daily Devotional 28 May 2023 MESSAGE Still on our study of the life of Jonathan, we want to glean yet another lesson today. Jonathan was a true, loyal, reliable and dependable friend. He was a real friend who was there for David through thick and thin. The Bible says that Jonathan loved David as his own soul. What a friend! The types of Jonathan are rare, especially in our present age when genuine people that truly love others are scarce. This is an age when friends and relations backstab one another at the slightest provocation. “There are “friends” who destroy each other, but a real friend stick closer than a brother” (Proverbs 18:24 NLT). Beloved, what type of friend are you to others? Can you be trusted and relied upon? Can people find a confidant and strengthener in you when the chips are down? As much as you want people to be good to you, are you also good and kind to others? Can you be trusted to keep their secrets and not backstab them? Much as you want people to be loyal to you, how loyal are you to those who have invested themselves into you? Another great lesson to leam from this saint is integrity. Jonathan was a man of his word. “The next moming, as agreed, Jonathan went out into the field….. (1Samuel 20:35). He kept his promise as agreed; he was not a truce breaker. Can God trust you? Can men trust you? Can unbelievers vouch for you? If a character research is conducted about you in your work or business place today, what will be the response of co-workers about you? How many lives have smiled because you came on board? Or do people cry and cry because they met you? How cautious are you with your words to others? Will your spouse and children want to choose you over and over again? How is your relationship life? Are you always going everywhere with a long face? Ask yourself these pertinent and soul-searching questions and consider your ways. A hymnist once wrote; “Sing a song, spread some cheer. There are sad and lonely people everywhere. Be a friend, show some love. It will lift them from the dungeons of despair.” MFM Daily Devotional 28 May 2023 PRAYER POINTS  MORNING 1. Lord Jesus, forgive me for not showing Your love to others, in the name of Jesus. 2. Father, let my life draw men to You, in the name of Jesus. 3.
