"Our Eternal Friend - In Life and Career!"

Greetings, my friends.

Let’s start your year with one life-altering truth: You are a friend of God! 

Position yourself blessings with a bold declaration, then ground it in Jesus’ words from John 15:15 “I have called you friends.” — no longer slaves kept in the dark, but friends entrusted with supernatural insight that only the Father has made known. That shift reshapes identity, work, and the way we plan, turning anxious striving into confident, Spirit-led steps.

In faith, together, we will experience how divine friendship crosses borders and enters daily life, from Nigeria and Brazil to China, North America, Asia,  and worldwide. Friendship with God is an intimate relationship in Jesus.

Through our relationship, God gives assurance, confident access to guidance, courage, and strength to accomplish the good works He prepared for us. We talk through practical ways to receive insight by faith, ask clearly for help, and carry this truth into meetings, family moments, and personal goals. 

Listen to His voice, hearing —“I will never leave you, I will never forsake you”—and learn to let that promise set the tone for the year.

Listen to a Spirit-led prayer of surrender: lead me, guide me, empower me. As we echo “He calls me friend,” in faith speak it over your day and your decisions, allowing God’s presence to break the slave mindset and rebuild purpose with peace. 

If you’ve been craving clarity and courage, this conversation offers a clear path forward: believe what Jesus has said, align your plans with His heart, and walk with the confidence of Your Eternal Friend in Life and Career, realizing that you are never alone.

Take initiative and share the encouragement with a loved one. 

What is one way you’ll live as God’s friend today?

I am praying for you!

I am a friend of God. I am a friend of God. I am a friend of God. He calls me friend. Greetings, my friend. You are a friend of God. Can you sing that song? What does it mean to say, I am a friend of God? Let's talk about it. Our eternal friend in life and career. God wants you to know that you are his friend. You are not a slave bowing down and asking for a handout. You are a friend of God. How can I say that with confidence? How can you say it with confidence in Nigeria, in Brazil, in China, wherever you are in the world, how can you sing that song, I am a friend of God? Because he has said that you may boldly say, listen to what Jesus Christ, God, says about you. He says in John the 15th chapter, verse 15, No longer do I call you slaves, for the slave does not know what his master is doing. But listen to this, I have called you friends for all things. I have heard from my father, I have made known to you. He has said that we may boldly say, I am a friend of God. What does it mean to be a friend of God? It means to have an eternal relationship with God, an eternal friend who says, I will never leave you, I will never forsake you, I will be with you always, even to the end of the age. What does that mean for you, my friend, in Saudi Arabia? What does that mean for you, my friend, in New Jersey, in the United States? What does it mean wherever you are in the world? God sees you, God loves you, and he says, You are my friend. Let it sink in. Proclaim it today, wherever you are. Sing that song aloud, all around the world. I am a friend of God. I am a friend of God. I am a friend of God. He calls me friend. When we are a friend of God, he makes known to us everything. And he empowers us to do everything that he's called us to do. And he's promised, I am with you. I will never leave you. I will never forsake you. I will be with you always to the end of the age. As you begin this year, begin to plan, talk with God about his plans, his will, his purpose for your life, and proclaim as he has boldly told you to proclaim. I am a friend of God, because he has made known to you everything. So how do we gain this insight that he's already made known? We receive it by faith. Believe God, believe God, believe God, and ask him. I trust in you. Father God, I trust in you, Jesus. I thank you that you are my friend. I thank you, Jesus, that you have made known to me everything that the Father has shared with you. And you said, I will never leave you, I will never forsake you, I'm with you always, even to the end of the age. So, my brothers and my sisters all around the world, as you look forward to this year, believe God, no longer do I call you slaves, for the slave does not know what his master is doing. But I have called you friends. For all things that I have heard from my Father, I have made known to you. And remember, God in the presence of his Holy Spirit lives on the inside of you, my friend, wherever you are, when you say, Jesus, I receive you as my Savior and my Lord. Come into my life, lead me, guide me, empower me, instruct me, counsel me, help me to accomplish all the great works that you have ordained before the foundation of the earth, that I will walk in them, and I will proclaim and we will proclaim all around the world. I am a friend of God. He calls me friend. Oh Father God, my heart rejoices, O Jesus, O Holy Spirit, in me. My heart rejoices that I am your friend. Let my brothers and my sisters, wherever they are today, proclaim it, receive it, believe it. I am a friend of God. He calls me friend, and he is with you. He will never leave you, he will never forsake you. I'm with you always, even to the end of the age. In the name of Jesus we receive it. Amen.
