Text: 1 Corinthians 15:33
Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan
Exhortation:
Korah’s rebellion in Numbers 16 began when he opened himself to the wrong voices around him. Rebellion is often planted through association long before it is expressed in action. If you ask many drug addicts, they will tell you they were introduced to the habit by a friend—that is the power of influence. Anyone who feeds disobedience in you is a danger to your destiny.
Wrong associations quietly weaken discernment and disrupt spiritual stability. Today’s text warns that evil communication corrupts good manners because words shape perspective. When you walk with those who dishonour God’s authority, their attitude begins to rub off on you. Influence works silently, but its impact becomes clear in the direction your life takes.
Proverbs 13:20 shows that companionship determines outcome—wisdom grows with the wise, but destruction follows fools. Many destinies have been diverted because people trusted voices that opposed God’s will. One misguided counsel can shift a person out of divine alignment. This is why relationships must be chosen with prayer, caution, and spiritual sensitivity.
The word of God in Psalm 1:1 reveals that blessings follow those who refuse ungodly counsel and reject corrupting influence. Your life prospers when you intentionally disconnect from associations that weaken your walk with God. Surround yourself with people who honour His Word and strengthen your obedience. Your inner circle is prophetic—guard it with wisdom and discernment.
Prayer Nugget: Father, please, separate me from every association that corrupts my spirit and weakens my obedience; connect me with voices that honour you and strengthen my walk in Jesus name.
