  • Navigating friendships as a Christian in Dubai can be both challenging and rewarding. In this video, I dive into my personal journey of making and losing friends while living in Dubai. I'll share the lessons I've learned, the obstacles I've faced, and how my faith has guided me through these experiences. Whether you're a fellow believer or someone interested in the dynamics of friendship in a diverse setting, this video offers valuable insights and encouragement. Join me as I explore the impact of faith on friendships and discover how to build meaningful connections in a new environment.

    I move into a new state 2 years now and I have yet to make new friends and that partially because I been looking for Godly friends and me working from home does not help either. I will definitely pray like you say for God to help me to be an example of the type of relationship I will want. Thank you.

    Can you do a video on being confident and not second guessing yourself & believing in yourself & not caring about what people think?

    My prayer is always, Lord if my friends are not for me, I do not want to chase them away, but let them distance themselves from me. And I am ok with that. Speaking of Jonathan, his goodness towards David made his crippled son sit at the table of King David, even though there was an established law that no crippled can sit with the king. Don't ever stopped being a good friend, for your children and grandchildren can reap the benefits.

    I've never been this proud of a stranger 🤍 subbed waaay back when you were in a video with Rachel bada and mimi I think. This is one of the best decisions you've made. The journey won't be easy, but trust; God has a way of showing up and showing out for his children: Hebrews chpt 11 v 1 - 12 . Welcome to the fam sis

      Sorry you feel this way and hope it improves. Try self esteem excercises from I.Vanzant - there are some old videos she did with O.Winfrey. Connect with Him by starting with self - look within.

    Hey! New subbie and new to Christ as well☺️. I got confused when you said “sure she was catholic, she might not have been Christian” so wait Catholicism is not Christianity?

      Hey! Okay so I’m learning too! So I said that because Catholics (SOME not all) have different teachings and practices. A good example is the way we approach God. Christians pray directly to God whereas Catholics can pray to Hail Mary or they go to Confessions

      Catholics are Christian. There are several Christian denominations, who all follow the teachings and life of Jesus Christ, acknowledging and accepting Him as Lord and Saviour. Same bible, different practices but Christian all the same.

    God will always show you 🙏🏾💖 best prayer you can make in friendships, is asking God to regulate your relationships and if something is not God's will for you naturally God will redirect their path. God will also strengthen the friendships that are appointed by Him. Keeping in mind God can also allow people to enter for a particular season as well as let them go for a reason which is one of the hardest truths to comprehend but as long as you're for God’s will everything will fall in alignment. Remember God can see what we can not see. He can see the heart of your friends he can see their intentions he can see into the future and it might not even be that the person is intently malicious but rather that where they are going or the route they are taking no longer aligns with God will or vision for where you are going or where he wants to place you so sometimes God will allow people in your life to do a detour to go another way distance from you, which I’ve come to understand. He would draw closer to you those who are in alignment with His Will not only for your life but also for their life because everything works in alignment. 100% the Bible has the answers to instruction.

    Don’t underestimate the power of fasting and prayer over your friendships. Mine has happened naturally over time the more I pray the more God refined my sisterhood though I’ve not had to go out seeking friendships rather God naturally aligns me with the right people and with much prayer and fasting He either maintains directs or diverts a relationship sometime we also can get distracted and collect people along the journey but God always reveals and gives discernment.

    Sinner Prayer doesn't save because it's work and it is one devil's doctrines that has deceived many unbelievers which may lead them to Hell if they reject to believe in the Gospel Of Christ. The Gospel of Christ is simple and it doesn't require us to work for but just hear, believe and put our trust what Christ did for us on the cross. Faith comes from hearing in this timeline. Please study about the Revelation of The Mystery Romans 16:25 KJV and find out what timeline we are in according to the scripture. Here's the Gospel of our Salvation underneath this text, grace and peace.
    1 Corinthians 15:1-4 KJV
    1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;
    2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
    3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
    4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
