SUPPORT THEORY (Risk)

It's obviously a beautiful Thursday Morning and I'm glad you made it into another day.

Today, we would attempt to answer one important question which is, What do I do to show true friendship? Remember that, following our discuss since Monday
* a true friend is not envious or jealous,
* a true friend does not abandon his or her friend when in trouble
* a true friend sticks closer than a brother
* a true friend shows himself friendly.

Our inspiration is from the four friends who showed their paraplegic friend true friendship. Let's take a look at that account and what actually transpired.

Mark 2: 1-5 (Msg) "After a few days, Jesus returned to Capernaum, and word got around that he was back home. A crowd gathered, jamming the entrance so no one could get in or out. He was teaching the Word. They brought a paraplegic to him, carried by four men. When they weren’t able to get in because of the crowd, they removed part of the roof and lowered the paraplegic on his stretcher. Impressed by their bold belief, Jesus said to the paraplegic, “Son, I forgive your sins.”

Jesus got interrupted and excited at the same time. His excitement, which was as a result of His impression by these guys' action, provoked not just healing but salvation. In fact, He first saved the man before He healed him(talk for another day). My concern for today is that true friendship can be measured by the distance you can cover or risk you can take for your friend.

My question for you is, How far can you go for your friends? How far can you go to bring him/her out of his/her predicament? How far can you go during his/her wedding? How far can you go to fix him/her up? How far can you go when others have abandoned her? How far can you go when she's guilty and imprisoned?

These four friends didn't care about the consequences of breaking somebody's roof. They were careless about the laws of intrusion. As long as they were concerned, by any means possible our friend must be healed. True friendship involves risk. Can you really take some risk for your friends? Selah!

Get Ready! Today
- God will send people that will go all out for you!
- You will come to the end of a long lasting predicament today in Jesus Name!
- By all means possible, that which is responsible for calamity is rolled out forever today!
- Bad, insensitive and envious friends will be taken away from you and replaced by true friends in Jesus Name!
