WHO ARE YOUR CHILDREN’S FRIENDS?
It is very important as a parent to be interested in your children’s welfare, education and friends. I will write on the latter now.
Apart from the grace of God, one of the things that helped me in life is my choice of friends.

Apart from the grace of God, one of the things that helped me in life is my choice of friends.
I came from a poor family and helpers were very few. I was raised by a single mother and so she was very particular on my choice of friends. She was very forceful at separating me from those she thought were going nowhere. Believe me, she got it right 💯.
One day she visited me at my primary school and saw me playing with some school mates. I was 10 years old. She knew their parents. On getting home, she sat me down and said “Do you not have children of rich people to move with? The friend of the poor will be poor.
You should also move with the most brilliant students in your class. It will help your education”. She also picked 4 children on our streets that she said I should be moving with. As at today the 15th of October 2021, all of us are living in London, England.
Who are your friends? You are in ministry and none of your friends are worth anything. You are in business and none of your friends are worth anything. In your career, none of your friends are worth anything. As a student, your friends are the struggling students.
You may not make much impact in life.
Let me give you a short testimony. When we wanted to buy our ministry headquarters in London, I called two of my friends outside the UK. They were immediately ready to loan me £50000 each interest free. One of them did and we bought it.

The other one gave an offering of £15000. Good friends can make your dreams come true.
So, make a conscious and deliberate choice on close friends who are going somewhere. Just like my late mother, be interested in who your children are moving with.
