Firstly, you must have a relationship with God.
Then you have a deeper friendship with yourself, you can't give what you don't have.
1)Treat people the same way you want them to treat you. (Matt 7:12) That's The Golden rule.
Anything you desire to be done to you, do it to others. E.g Showing respect, valuing your friends perspectives, checking up on your friend from time to time. This little things matters.
[09/10, 7:45 pm] +234 803 899 8956: 2) Agreement in Vision, purpose, dream and direction (Amos vs 3:3)
If you're the kind of person that loves Spiritual things and the other person keep saying it's not about being Spiritual...Ah! The way you're going with the church stuff thing self abeg be calming down, just know both of you are not sailing in the same boat.
[09/10, 7:55 pm] +234 803 899 8956: 3) See your friendship as seeds.
When you see it as seeds sown,you will be intentional about building it.
For example: A Benson Idahosa's child is automatically Favoured by A Bishop Oyedepo. They don't need to do anything extra, it's an inheritance they got from their father.
📌Any friendship you're building Now, just see to it as sowing seeds in which your children will get to benefit from the harvest. That's why you must build the right friendship as part of the legacy you must leave for your children.
4. Spend Time with others, Accept them as they are, be open, value their feelings and Opinions.
You know we all want to feel important that's one of the cravings of Humans.
[09/10, 7:59 pm] +234 803 899 8956: 5. Be Kind.
To be being kind is not an act,but a lifestyle.
Everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle. People everywhere need a good word an uplifting compliment live them hope and dreams.
📌It takes little efforts to do, but it really lifts people up. Just show genuine care for your friends. Be there when they need you the most. Give counsel, advice and encouragement.
📌Many people go further than they thought they could go because someone else believed they could and told them so.
6) Learn how to appreciate your friends. Definitely you want others to appreciate you the deepest principle in human nature is the craving to be appreciated.
📌Even a quick Affirmation will give people a sense of Value. Don't be tight fist with our praise. If your friends does things you can do well appreciate them.
📌All people feel better and do better when you give them attention, affirmation and appreciation. The next time you make contact with people, begin by giving them your undivided attention. Affirm them and show your appreciation for them in some way.

For any Friendship to strive you must understand each other.
Through wisdom is a house built but by understanding is it established.
📌You can start by building your friendship with wisdom.
Normally we need wisdom to scale through Life. While understanding makes your friendship solid, balance and established.
A friend of mine said something hilarious 😂 She said " Life is not by strength but by sense "
When we have understanding on how to go about our friendship, I tell you, our friendship will be heaven on earth.
8) The last but not the least for today is Forgiveness. Martin Luther king Jr.
Was right when he said " Forgiveness is not an occasional act, it's a permanent attitude. For you to build a deeper friendship you must have a forgiving spirit. Without it you will keep counting offences which will destroy the friendship.

Have you ever wondered why?
To me🤔
He was called a friend of God because he was obedient to God ( prompt obedience)
He took God by His word
Some of you might know the song

It's not just about singing it but living it.
Friendship demands sacrifices.
And building Deeper Friendship entails Discipline, efforts and the HolySpirit.
