BIBLE READING: Proverbs 1:10-19

10 My son, if sinners entice thee, consent thou not.

11 If they say, Come with us, let us lay wait for blood, let us lurk privily for the innocent without cause:

12 Let us swallow them up alive as the grave; and whole, as those that go down into the pit:

13 We shall find all precious substance, we shall fill our houses with spoil:

14 Cast in thy lot among us; let us all have one purse:

15 My son, walk not thou in the way with them; refrain thy foot from their path:

16 For their feet run to evil, and make haste to shed blood.

17 Surely in vain the net is spread in the sight of any bird.

18 And they lay wait for their own blood; they lurk privily for their own lives.

19 So are the ways of every one that is greedy of gain; which taketh away the life of the owners thereof.

MESSAGE:

Many years ago, while working as a teacher, I befriended a colleague from the same part of the country as me. However, I didn’t know much about him. One day, on our way to a teachers’ programme in Ibadan, a city in South-West Nigeria, we got off the lorry in lle-lfe, as we needed to board another lorry to lbadan. This friend of mine then said that he wanted to say hello to a chief nearby, so he asked me to come along. I followed him, and when we got there, he knocked on a door and was asked a strange question from inside, “Is it a fish or a crab?” My friend answered and said, “One fish and one crab.” We were let in, but as we left, I began to wonder what this strange statement meant. When we arrived in lbadan, he said that he wanted to visit another fellow. Again, I followed him there. When he knocked at the door, he was asked, “Who is that? A goat or a sheep?” My friend answered, “One goat, one sheep.” By then, I was seriously troubled. When l got home, I asked some elders what the statements meant. They said knowingly, “Ah, where did you hear that? You could get into serious trouble if you move around with people who have such dialogues.” That was the end of my friendship with that fellow.

My dear child, please check your friends; be mindful of the kind of people you call your friends. The Bible says that evil communication corrupts good manners (1 Corinthians 15:33).
