Friend of God...Jam 2:23

Jam 2:23
And the Scripture was fulfilled which says, "Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness." And he was called the friend of God.

When two people become friends, they see each other as equal, they share their thoughts, joy and sorrow, even possession and enemies. How about if you are a friend of God?

Abraham was called the friend of God because he believed God (Jam 2:23), Similarly, we are also called the friends of God because we believed God. God has always view you as His friend, but how about you? When was the last time you went to God as you are and pour out to Him your complain about so-and-so, that you shared with a fellow colleague?

My friend, God longed for you to share your thoughts, joy and sorrow, and enemies with Him. He wants to be your Comforter, Counsellor and Overcomer. He wants to share your joy and celebration.

How about looking at all this from the other way around? How about that God is your friend because He believed that you will become like Him!

Our destiny is to be like God, so that He can share His thoughts, joys and sorrows with us. God wants companion of other 'gods' , and we are these 'gods' (Ps 82:6), who share His same nature (Rom 8:29).

My friend, it is your destiny by His grace to be the friend of God, a very personal friend of God, in you own and unique way. It is also your destiny by His grace to be a 'god' and 'christ' Oba 1:21) that God's grace and power will flow through you to save the world from Satan, the enemy of God, AMEN.
