Message
Our Bible passage speaks about two friends, they were kings. One went to visit the other. Ahab asked his friend Jehoshaphat to go with him to fight the people of Syria. All the prophets of Ahab said that he should go and that he would win the battle. But Jehoshaphat did not believe them. He wanted to hear from the true prophet of God. Micaiah the prophet, was called. He told Ahab that he would die in the battle.

Friends should be bold enough to tell their friends the truth. Jehoshaphat would have saved the life of his friend, Ahab, and that of other “innocent” Israelites if he had the courage to tell his friend the truth he heard from God’s prophet. He should have warned his friend and asked him to obey God. May be God permitted them to meet so that Jehoshaphat could help Ahab. Do you have friends? Tell them the truth and save their lives. One of the most important truth you must tell your friends is the truth of the love of Jesus to them. Tell them today so that your friends will not die and go to hell.
Further Reading: John 15:14-15
Prayer for today: Lord, help me to be a true friend saving my friends from hell.
1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
