RESTORATION TODAY
TUESDAY 25TH OCTOBER 2016
BY PASTOR DR. G.O. OLUTOLA JP.

THEME: MAKE JESUS YOUR FRIEND.

His mouth is most sweet: yea, he is altogether lovely. This is my beloved, and this is my friend... Songs of Solomon 5:16.

Jesus is not just the Saviour, He is also a great friend. Let's consider some of the elements of His relationship with us.

He is committed to us as a friend for life. In fact, this commitment is for more than a lifetime. It's eternal, He will never leave you or me, no matter what we do. And though life is bound to hold some disappointments, the Lord Himself will never let us down.

He is open and transparent to us at all times. Jesus will show us mush about Himself as we desire to learn and are able to appreciate. He isn't  going to keep from us anything that we need to know about Him.

He is an inspiring, comforting listener who will never interrupt or be quick to criticize. He attends wholeheartedly to our requests. His eyes are so loving fixed on us that His heart hears exactly what we are saying.

What kind of friend is Jesus? John 15:13 answers that question: Greater love has no one than this, that one lay down his life for his friends.? Because he gave Himself for all people, we as His followers can give ourselves for a few.

ACTION POINT:  Today, be the hands and feet of Jesus for someone in need.

SCRIPTURES:
Songs of Solomon 5:16.

PRAYER POINTS:
1. Father, thank You for knowing me and loving me.
