Don’t befriend angry people or associate with hot-tempered people, or you will learn to be like them and endanger your soul. -Proverbs 22:24,25
Transcript:

Good Morning & Welcome to this new day! We are to take every blessing that Lord has given us and be ready to be changed in His image. So often, friendships, relationships and influence take us away from God like Adam & Eve, and other great men of God in the Bible. An example in the Bible is King Solomon who had multiple relationships with different women who worshipped idols and Solomon turned into an idol worshipper.

King Solomon writes in Proverbs:22: 24, 25. “Don’t befriend angry people or associate with hot-tempered people, or you will learn to be like them and endanger your soul.” He is experiencing how his soul was in danger because of the relationships he had. It is necessary for us not to befriend angry people. It is common for us to get angry, but when our constantly influenced by the world around us where revenge is the thought, we tend to think that’s okay and we idolize them. If you do that, you will eventually learn into that person.

Naturally, you’re not angry or quick to respond and yet because of your constant association and now you will learn their system and behaviour. We are the ones who are supposed to be influencing the grace of God, but we are the ones who get influenced.

Your constant association with certain people brings in their behaviour as learning to you. Share on X

Think of what your heart and mind are getting exposed to as it will endanger your soul. Draw out yourself from every danger today! Prepare yourself for what the Lord has prepared yourself. Take authority of every influence in Jesus name!

Lock the Door

Matthew 23:13 (GNT)
““How terrible for you, teachers of the Law and Pharisees! You hypocrites! You lock the door to the Kingdom of heaven in people’s faces, but you yourselves don’t go in, nor do you allow in those who are trying to enter!”

Psalm 147:2–3 reveals God's heart as a Restorer rather than a Punisher. Although Israel went into exile because of its own rebellion, God did not abandon His people. Instead, He promised to restore Jerusalem, bring the exiles home, heal the brokenhearted, and bind up their wounds.

The message reminds us that while God may use friends, pastors, counselors, or loved ones to help us, true healing and restoration ultimately come from the Lord. His restoration reaches every part of our lives—our hearts, relationships, health, finances, emotions, and spiritual walk.

God knows every wound, including those hidden from others. Unlike people, who can only comfort from the outside, He sees the deepest parts of our hearts and heals completely. His healing is so complete that even the scars of past pain lose their power to define us.

The devotion encourages believers to fix their eyes on God instead of relying solely on human help. No matter how far someone has drifted, how many mistakes they have made, or how broken they feel, God is still calling them back. His desire is to restore, heal, and make all things beautiful in His perfect timing.
