Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners
1 Corinthians 15:33
Hello Steemians!!!
Good morning and happy Sunday to you.
As you go worship God today, i pray you will never go back the same. Amen.
Bad communication they say corrupt good manners.
Another saying goes thus; Show me your friend and I will tell you who you are.
An eagle in the midst of chicken will not discover his full potentials.
I pray that after reading this your lives will change. Amen
Many have argued that the company a person keeps does not necessarily have much impact on his or her character and destiny.
They claim that many people are successful inspire of their wrapped lifestyles and bad behavior.
But the Bible disagrees with these notions. In fact, the Bible warns against associating with bad company.
The company you keep and the kind of information you consume determines the predominant thoughts that rule your mind.
It goes a long way to establish who you are and the kind of future that awaits you.
Proverbs 23:7 says;For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee.
It will be a great error to think that the term 'bad association' only means interaction with unbelievers.
It can also be applied to interpersonal relationships among Christians.
God wants us to shun the evil activities of the ungodly just as much as he wants us to avoid every appearance of evil.
The Bible admonishes that those who perpetrate backbiting, disobedience, rebellion and false doctrines among the brethren should be identified and avoided.
Don't be deceived, no matter how wise or careful you think you are, your continued association with anyone who lives contrary to the word of God will eventually spell doom for you.
2 Corinthians 6:14 says;Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?
Paul's admonition to the church in Corinthians is part of a later discourse on Christian living.
He discouraged them from being in an unequal partnership with unbelievers because believers and unbelievers are opposite, just as light and darkness are opposites have nothing in common.
Keep away from bad company. Whatever you permit will end up influencing you.
