Pastor Bell's Words To Live By

He who walks with the wise grows wise, but a companion of fools suffers harm (Proverbs 13:20 NIV).

 The company we keep determine who we become. An old Caribbean proverb says ‘show me your company and I’ll tell you who you are.’ This is not rocket science, however many followers of Jesus fail to keep the company of those who will challenge them to be disciplined in their walk, challenge them in their spiritual disciplines, such as daily readings and quiet times and challenge the rigorousness of their integrity.

The apostle Paul picks this up in his writing when he reiterates that bad company corrupts good manners (1Cor 15:33). And that some of us who purport to be Christians are still ignorant of what God requires from us.

Today, to determine what he [The Lord] requires from us, let us endeavour to be accountable to at least two people with whom we can share our aspirations and our anxiety without fear of being betrayed. Choose wisely those to whom you ‘bare’ your soul, but have in the back of your mind that when you walk with the wise you also will become wise.

Those who we listen to will have the greatest influence on our lives!
