IDENTIFYING FAKE FRIENDS!

THE REALEST PEOPLE DON'T HAVE A LOT OF FRIENDS!
Psalm 55:21"His words are as smooth as butter, but his heart is war.His words are as soothing as lotion, but underneath are daggers".
"Some people are real.Some people are good.Some people are fake and some people are real good at being fake".
Don't trust everything you see.Even salt looks like sugar!
The adage that,"Not all that glitters is gold" should guide all of us to avoid fake leaders, friends,shops,churches, pastors, products, relationships etc.
Sometime ago, my #cellphone was will go off and I will look for the nice phone repair shop to fix it.The following day the phone will go off again and I will take it to the next nicest #shop for repairs. This continued for sometime until one Sunday my phone went off again.Because it was a Sunday all the nice shops were shut.
Someone directed me to a phone repairer.When l got there l was discouraged because of his environment. He had no nice shop.He was working on a poor table. I asked him three times if he could repair my phone.He told me that he will repair my phone and it will never give me any problems again.
Is being almost a month since that man touched my phone and indeed my phone has never given me any problems yet.This man fix my phone problem which all the nice phone shops in town couldn't fix.
My father Rev. Prince Achin who is one of the best professional Christian counsellors in Ghana,will never be invited by many TV and Radio stations to counsel people because he wouldn't say silly things like," Rape victims don't feel pain throughout their ordeal, they enjoy it"---Rev.Counsellor Lutherodt
We live in a world in which the more well packaged lies,fake people and things are the more they're loved and patronized by society.
Three ways to identify fake friends:
1.Fake friends are like shadows. They follow you in the #sun but leave you in the dark.
2.Talk about the mistakes you've made,your battles, and struggles then wait.Those who stick around are the true friends. #Fake people can't handle struggle.
3.Fake people are only nice when its #convenient, and they usually have a hidden agenda. Genuinely nice people go out of their way to help others, and they have an honest heart.
In case you're wondering why your spouse or your lover has changed so much, let me remind you that,"People don't change, they reveal who they really are".
May the Lord open your eyes to identify fake people and things!
Have a blessed Friday and a great weekend in Jesus Name!---Pastor Christian Mawuko.

4yDuring our life time we will have many friends, some will be really good friends, others will be mere acquaintances such as other school kids, work colleagues etc. But we have one person who loves us so much that He died on the cross to save us from God’s wrath. Jesus Christ is my best friend who will be there for me beyond the end.
