    Who to Call a Friend: Genuine Friend

    About this ebook

    There is a saying that a friend in need is a friend indeed. This proverb, to my understanding, is about someone or a friend who stretches his or her hand to help their friend in difficult situations. A genuine friend is one who will offer his friend a shoulder to cry on. A friend who will intervene and assist during hard times. One who will intercede on his friend’s behalf when it is most needed. One who will support you when the going gets tough. One who will always be at your beckon call when everyone else leaves you. Such a person is a “friend indeed”.
    In Who To Call A Friend book, you will be able to identify people you should accept into your life. Proverbs 13:20 “Walk with the wise and become wise, associate with fools and get in trouble”.
    In the journey of life, we all need to find those who are willing and ready to go all the way with us through thick and thin.
    This book will help you to build right relationships, value a good friendship with respect, honesty, trust and also learn to say no to dream killers and embrace those that will add value to your life.
    A friend like Jesus will never leave you nor forsake you. I highly recommend Him!

In this book Eunice uses a simple language as brilliantly as anyone who has ever put pen to paper. There is nothing more characteristic of Eunice than her testing powers against this difficult concept of Who To Call A Friend. The book cautions and provokes the spiritual integrity of the reader while at the same time inspires and encourage the believer to absorb truth in the word of God which drives us to be more careful and wiser in choosing our friends.

      My gratitude goes to Mr Daniel Asamoah Opoku for the time he spent editing this script and also my dearest husband Pastor James Afrifa Frimpong and my twins, David and Davida Afrifa Frimpong who generously shared me with this manuscript. I will always appreciate your love and support.

      I also want to acknowledge the companionship and encouragement that I consistently received from my church family Kingdom Life Assemblies of God. Aylesbury. UK. Not forgetting all my CCLOG ladies and patrons, as well as CCLOG widows and orphans.

      Thank you Ms Rita Frimpong for being my sister and friend. Not forgetting Miss Hayley Dos-Santos, my dearest special niece who has shown great love.

      DEDICATION

      To my darling husband, Pastor James A. Frimpong. You are my pastor, my friend and my confidante.

      To all those struggling to find someone to call a friend.

      And ultimately the one I can confidently call my best Friend is YESHUA! JESUS CHRIST MY LORD

      FOREWORD

      Many authors have written books, manuscripts, journals about relationships. Most times, many assume a more spiritual method in putting the reader in a dilemma with no connection to real Christian relationships.

      It is therefore amazing to find a book that divulges and motivates The reader to a further practical, spiritually encouraged and realistically applicable virtues.

      In this book Eunice uses a simple language as brilliantly as anyone who has ever put pen to paper. There is nothing more characteristic of Eunice than her testing powers against this difficult concept of Who To Call A Friend. The book cautions and provokes the spiritual integrity of the reader while at the same time inspires and encourage the believer to absorb truth in the word of God which drives us to be more careful and wiser in choosing our friends.

      Greater love has no one than this that he lay down his life for his friends. John 15:13 NIV

      The love of Christ and the friendship he offers humanity is overwhelming, so pure and true that you can stick closer to.

      Inspired by personal challenges, experiences and the grace that propelled this anointed woman of God into victory.

      Coupled with her in-depth knowledge in human relations, and a demanding role as a wife and co-pilot in the ministry in Kingdom Life Assemblies of God in Aylesbury. United Kingdom, her demanding role as Founder and President of Concerned Christian Ladies of Ghana. (CCLOG), a charity organization responsible to advocating for poor widows and orphans in Ghana. With other social and charitable commitments.

      It clearly exposes the most difficult and often glanced over personal issues faced by people; adults, youth, spirit filled believers to the born again and reveals deep biblical knowledge and the wisdom that motivates the reader to be careful in allowing people in their life.

      Furthermore, the book takes you through a journey of personal evaluation, relationship alertness and awareness. It boldly brings the reader to a state of pause, leading you to recognize the need for careful and critical analysis in people who happens to pass our path and how to relate to them as we go through the journey of life. It is not easy to find a good friend but this book will help you as you go through life to watch out and prayerfully find someone To Call a Friend.

      I strongly recommend WHO TO CALL A FRIEND to all people on earth; believers and non-believers alike because there is not a friend like Jesus! NO NOT ONE.

      You will be blessed and ordained to find peace in all your relations.

      Rev. James Afrifa Frimpong. BTh, BA (Hons) Business Management.

      Senior Pastor

      Kingdom Life Assemblies of God.

      INTRODUCTION

      There is not a friend like Jesus! In the frustrating scenes of life, He can hear the heart’s quiet whisper. He calms the tempest’s furious strife; He is patient, tender, kind and true. If you will be a friend of Jesus, He will be a friend to you so that you can bid the scoffing world farewell. Trust Him everywhere you go, for He has trod the way before you. He has suffered every pain and woe. When you draw your life’s last breath, and you were His friend while living, then He will be your friend in death. What a blessed thought to be folded in His arms of power ever in eternity. OH, WHAT A FRIEND!

      What is Real Friendship?

      Friends are people that are wandering in the same path, have similar aspirations and goals, they encourage each other in attaining those goals. Friends are not people that will pull you down, they’re not people who are jealous, even though sometimes that happens. They are people who can handle your talents and gifts and help each other to develop them with thoughtful advice and direction.

      Real friendship means caring and concern and a desire to peoples’ development not jealousy or frustrating the other person’s dreams and desires. Friendship is PERFORMANCE and not just CHITCHAT. Real friendship doesn’t always expect something in return. Friendship is criticizing only to build up the other party, there is such a thing as positive criticism and as a friend you should be able to accept this kind of help.

      LET GOD PICK YOUR FRIENDS

      If you allow the God of heaven to choose your friends for you, then you will have a great friend, by prayerfully choosing a friend is the best, whenever you find yourself coming closer to someone, you begin to pray about that person to find out who he/she is, and also if he/she will help you in the journey of life or will pull you down. Let’s learn something from the word of God about you allowing God to be in charge of you choosing a friend or friends.

      "The Lord told Gideon…." I will test them to determine who will go with you and
