EVERYBODY IS A FRIEND TO SOMEBODY

"
How I wish you could be that true, 

faithful friend on whose shoulder

 my loneliness burden could be 
bored. Because of everybody, everywhere, every time 

surely do need 

a friend

" 

Friendship could be one or all that would be needed for the most of all that is necessarily required in order to be seen or noted for remains and retained our sociability, the memories of the good, fair, bad and worse times we have ever spent together while such friendship lasted. 

Meanwhile; no once entwined friendship will ever remain broken forever as our time and tides will periodically and continuously bring whatever memories we have shared together within the periscopes of such friendship when and while it was still fresh and seemingly unending. 

Even if we leave ways far apart from one another; No once created friendship can ever be permanently separated. As far as friendship is concerned divorce is ineffective. We can lay claims to separations or divorce as loud and as long as we would want to but the truth of the matter is just a denial of a most truthful gospel. As the memories of such friendship will still once in a lifetime knock on the instinct of our lives, as long as we continue to exist. 

Though you would have loved some of such friendship to be gone forever on and for the yesteryears sake. But the memorabilia of time and season would just almost always bring back the ding dong of such friendship to the fore present time. At the core and point of views whereby you are gathering or lonely permitted to rename, remain, re-maim or reignite such a friendship. 

Forgetfulness might want to play a tse-tse fly belief on us but do not forget that in aviation theses an eagle flight is erudite and most superlative in comparison to an insect which is what a friendship is, in comparison to forgetfulness. The only ties of friendship which is/are easily forgotten could be those that are termed or deemed inconsequential as no serious friendship after been broken ever truly remained forever broken or forgotten. 

"Because even where there is no

physical edifice structure, rooms 
can still be modelled out"

There are rooms for friendship and more rooms to retained and call back those friends whom you have sent far away from you for a course that is simply not a just course. Our upbringing might have been etched on or to the echelon of those debilitating attitudes that do not allow friendship to thrive. You might be one of the sorts who does not see why one should tender that reserved ' I AM SORRY; MY FRIEND" apology. But why should you reserve it when you do not want your friendship to collapse?. Some of our friends sometimes are right about what and why they would say they can no longer be our friends. All the while; most of them (friends) are patient but impatiently waiting as in an akimbo for eavesdropping gesture. To hear you claim and re-unite that friendship whose cords our eager zeal of immaturity must not be permitted to shattered.   

Humans were never created to be made or live alone. The era of you doing all things all alone is gone and far spent. So, therefore; it is no more. Though you could still believe 'doing all things through Christ who strengthens you' (Philippians 4:19). Yes, It's good to believe, as there's definitely none like Him. He is our everything and I like you and love you the more you do.

But Christ is no longer in the physical and you are still 100% flesh and blood even if He (Christ) were to be in the physical. He would not mentor you to keep gathering or brooding enmity. He rightly said "  

And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.

John 10:16 (KJV)

Other keys sides of our existence. Friends are one of the most important motives or factors who could hasten our journey to the norm right destinations. And friendship through proper or improper alliance could be the reasons why we could or were not at the time we should be at the right time. But when and if most of this happened;  our friends shouldn't be all that should be blames.

"As no man has ever been 

disappointed as that who

 invested all his trust 

in a mortal" 

PSALM 118:8

Each and every one of us as human at a point or the other had made, adopt or drop one or the other friends for a reason which is best known to us but such reasons might surely not be the best of all the reasons that ever existed. 

Your mind, heart and memory are treasure island bore to refresh and enliven even as you grow on and back to where you came from; because all humans were actually given birth to in cares and love in order to live, grow and such is engendered towards a physical death. But the types and kinds of friends you made while alive can actually abound even after your departure from this sinful world.  

In friendly terms; You can't choose all your friends. There is some kind of friends whose friendliness is so casual but deep to the tune whereby, you would kind of frequently wondered and reminiscence on how, where, why and when did you meet or make such a friend. There are also friends you meet frequently but which are none of your many friends. You might be right when you called such an acquaintance.

An acquaintance could blossom into a full-blown of non-committa friendship only if the powers that drive our sense of reasonability attest to such. And there could be an attestation from within while the power of wants and desires eschew to such an encapsulation. As humans; we were known and also made to dangles between choices which has seen or led so many to an enclave of the wrong choice. Friendship inclusive.

Friendship, as it is, is not about who, you have known for the longest time but it is rather about those who were really be-friend either by you or them making the first advances in order for each to keep standing the more and as long as they are willing to stay or stand. Not setting a setback or pulling them down while they could still remain standing even if you have never been a friend to any or many of them.

David and Jonathan friendship in the Bible could be one of the sorts upon what our kind of desired friendship could be based. (I Samuel 18:3) But our Lord Jesus Christ shows more superlatively friendship than any that could be found or would be seen all over the world

John 15:13 (KJV)

Greater love hath no man than this, 

that a man lay down his 
life for his friends.

   The credence of life on and about friends and friendship is that; they (friends) are part of what and whom we are down here to achieve. Yes. It is true that some of them make us sick; (2 Samuel 19:22) it is also the obvious gospel truth that some of them help us get healing.  (Mark 2:2-3). Our parents are definitely not going to be the one giving birth to all we are going to be with it in life. Some of what we need in life is in the hands of friends. If God has given us everything, it might make our life un-interesting and less inviting. 

Why can't we once again be as friendly as a little kid?. Remember; to every little kid, everybody that comes their way is surely a friend. They mostly do not know one differently from the other until an adult probably their parents or guardian warned them against playing with these or that kind of friends. Within their little pure hearts, everybody surely does make a friend to somebody.

Rejoice in the Lord always; 

and again I say, 

Rejoice. Philippians 4:4

YOU ARE NOT YET A FAILURE..

" WALKING REQUIRES TAKING 

ONE  LEG BEFORE AND 

AFTER THE OTHER"

It is a procedure that can 

accumulate and actually

covers miles

The more steps you take;

the more miles you 

progressed.

But a step in the right direction

is better than many steps  

targetted at the wrong 

directions.

Herein lies the seasons and

reasons that exempt you from

been a total and permanent

FAILURE.

Are you a failure?!. No, to the best of my knowledge, you're not. Though, at times been a failure could just be more worthy of a grandeur accolade. Inasmuch as whoever continues from wherever you stopped is willing and set to achieve the same goal will definitely not start all over again. Even if and when such is willing to start all over again that might just imply that the expected results are worthwhile enough for one to start again and again whenever one is been deterred by an unmitigated barrier. 

If you failed; by now such who is willing to continue from where you stopped could/should have learned from your failures and he/she would definitely not take things the more exact ways that ended you at the threshold of no fruition.

Because a source has been tapped and foundations been laid in order for cogent and proper minded exploit to proceed and progressed. There is actually something curious and cautious to be taught and learned by and from everybody who has attempted and failed. So, therefore; your perusing perceived failures should be and; it is actually a leaning learned attempted philosophical genre that has already been channelled but yet to be properly tailored for others to adapt and adopt without any twist to remunerating adjustment. 

 Failure is not never a breakdown to chaos rather, it is the primitive prerogative annexes that enable a paradigm shift of docility to purported activities. A purported activity gets you nowhere. This might accrue to an effort in futility. But a rightly intended one will soon blossom into the realities of those dreams you have almost always nurtured within the realm and enclaved of your heart. 

"Dreams are not supposed 

to remain unfulfilled

 forever so, therefore;

if you had any be rest

assured it could 

be fulfil".

Failures could be bred when the certainty to ascertained is not purposefully carried out. The credence of life on and about you is success and success all the way. But it doesn't just come to that at the whim or whiff of a fingertip. It requires effort laden activeness and acute prerequisite activities. The Lord Jesus Christ in the Bible didn't ask a lazy to 'come unto him'. Rather, He asked those who are heavy laden to come unto Him...(Mattew 18:28). Simon Peter fish all the night without success and they were asked to come unto Him because they were presently heavy laden. Luke 5:1-5

Let us take some closer look at this Bible verses. 

Simon was there fishing all night but couldn't catch even the little fish in the ocean. And the fishes were there. In the theory and thesis of oceanography, Simeon is an expert. A professional on the field. Then he called it off for the day as he was mending his fishing nets when the Saviour arrives asking for a ride on his boat. His boat, of course, wasn't the only one at the dock. But he never objected. He could have as well told him that 'I've worked all night and thereby so tired to grant your request. But he did nothing of the sort. He simply obliged to the master request because he believes 'He is not yet a failure'. 

When he was told to cast his net in the same oceans he has worked all night he merely protested for a while and then obliged. He obliged to prove himself right and the instructor wrong. But when he eventually did in order to show that he's not yet a failure'. The results were totally mind-boggling. Mind you Jesus never approached an indolent but His approach was toward someone in search of results. Someone engaged in active services. Because He fully understood as master of all that those are the ones who believed that they 'are not yet a failure'.  


Sometimes, within the enclaved of our life, failures will just remain a mere inconclusive mindset if you have never given it a more-much thought than that. But be reminded that; 

"A failure is a goal chaser

and a goal getter only if 

he does not stop aiming 

and chasing". 

Quietism could be all that you shouldn't give to your efforts. Instead give more endeavour, more research, more determinations not desperation. The more you tackle every iota of redundancy that is aimed against your expected achievements the more you create a purpose and a way that can no longer contain any acts that embrace failures.  

Though successes require you to reminiscence among not within the tentacles of failures, you don't and should not dwell among such tentacles for too long or forever. If you do, when and how do you access success?.  Your Yes/No could and should be given at the appropriate time. Given a no or yes when the intent to do so had not yet been scrutinized for certain evidence of a most convincingly 'No or Yes' would see someone as a fumble on or around that which should have been given a firm grasps of confidences.  

Failures are not about what you could not afford but it is rather about that which you have acquired but you could not put to effective uses. 

One could only be a failure; when all your 'technical know-how' has been deployed and yet no any single signs of fruition at sight. Even at that, if one is going to be, endeavour to be a positive or constructive failure. By these I mean, those kinds of failures that have already laid a progressive foundation whereby one could continue at any time freshet of enabling ideas flush in.

If it is within your ability and yet you refused to channel more or imbibed more efforts one would end up as a non-conformist and a non-celebrated failure. But if your targets and aims are beyond what you could simply achieve at the moment. i.e such results whose time to maturity is not yet ripe. On such case, you are not yet a failure. Because, even if you work mush and more, it simply means the time of attainment is not yet at hand. 

"As there is virtual 

time (stages) for 

everything"  

Although, one could find his/herself working arduously to bring it to be. It won't come to be until there's enough time for its maturity. You might want to ask 'why should that be?' Such goals simply require you to get more knowledge, by buying more time for you.

"Even nature doesn't make a 

butterfly  in a day, neither

 could you"

It has stages, everything in life has stages. Even successes and failures have stages. One might be compelled to be and live forever a failure. If and when you do or deliberately wouldn't understand or recognized those and such stages had or gotten by your perceived and pre-empt success or failures. Yet if you do, or yet do not. You are not yet a failure.

The stage you are now might just not be that at which results will be visible or attained. So does that already make you a failure?. No!. Not at all. You are not yet a failure. The Bible said;

If thou faint in the day 

of adversity, thy 

strength is small.

Proverb 24:10

Take the metamorphosis of a butterfly for example; some eggs don't attain pupa while some were snapped at the stage of larvae yet some were able to scale through the ambit and realms of many and everything predatory. Are those snapped by predators a failure?!. Nope. They're not. Battling with failures while encountering what you could not surmount is surely not you been a failure. But surrendering to that which you could overcome surely made you a failure.

Instead of you engaging in that battle you would surely lose. You could rather build or channel your ways around them or build through such. It is possible. 

Sometimes ago, the Boss I was staying with would almost always taunt and looked down on me. Though not on me alone as that sole attitude marked to be her psychological moments. And she wouldn't do this whenever we were alone. She has her right time, and such time would always be when two or more people were there with us either in the house or anywhere at all. She doesn't have a spot to reservation for showing these. Even whenever we were in and at any worship gathering. 

She would say "You are forgetting your position in this family, you're just a mere houseboy". Sometimes, I would reply that I haven't forgotten, in some other time, I would just frown without given any vocal response. And this continued for as long as I couldn't presently remember. Until a day came by, when we were in the market, buying things she made the same usual phrase and a woman who I have not known from Adam or seen standing nearby pop-up. Please permit me to use the word 'pop-up' because I didn't know where the woman came from. The woman retorted and shouted back at my madam. 'Quiet there woman! you don't need to announce to the whole market square that he is your house boy. We have eyes, and we could tell from his appearance. The way he dressed and from his famished and gaunt appearance. 

The truth be told, I have never in my whole life of staying with that family seen my madam been defeated and sobber as she was on that fateful day. Back then, I thought I was a failure; but now I can see, just as you too would presently or later understand that 'You are not yet a failure. 

Some acts of failures recede with the tide and time of growth and forgetfulness while some only escalates within the same period other kinds of failures are receding. None, nor either should or could make you a failure. what really makes you a failure is the preparation and determination of your mindset. But when and once this is pretty-perfectly prepared and the targetted results are yet to materialise. Be rest assured. You are not yet a failure.           

What are those areas of your perceived failures?. Marital, Societal, Organizational, Finacial etc buckle up as you are not yet a failure.   

Rejoice in the Lord always; 

and again I say, 

Rejoice. Philippians 4:4
