Devotional
Many of the calamities’ people face in life today are the product of wicked companionship. We are so desperate for friendship that we latch on to anyone who comes along and seems interesting to us, without a proper mental background check to know who he or she is. And this has landed many people into problems. So beloved, as we continue in our pursuit to manifest our plans and resolutions for the year, we must as a matter of necessity, mind the friends we keep.
Key Scripture
The righteous should choose his friends carefully, For the way of the wicked leads them astray.Proverbs 12:26 NKJV
Refreshing for the Day
We make wise decisions when we hang around wise people, but when we hang around evil friend, we are doomed and destroyed (Prov. 13:20). Evil companionship is bad, it corrupts good morals (1 Cor 15:33), so we must avoid it. Peoples’ careers and businesses have crumbled owed to the evil companionship, many marriages have scattered because of wrong association, and too many gifted men and women have been relegated to nothing. Please don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying that friendship in general is bad, but we must be very careful about who we call our friends. Stay Refreshed!
Note This
Evil companionship is an enemy of destiny, it is capable of grounding the mighty, so beware of it.
Responsibility
When we don’t choose our friends wisely, we become like them. So, choose wisely.

Prayer
O LORD, protect me from the shackles of the friends’ enemy, and give me the grace to discern the people I call my friends, in the name of Jesus’ Amen! (Go ahead and continue to pray)
Carry this with you
Prophetic Word
