1 Corinthians 5:9-11 (NET): I wrote you in my letter not to associate with sexually immoral people. In no way did I mean the immoral people of this world, or the greedy and swindlers and idolaters, since you would then have to go out of the world. But now I am writing to you not to associate with anyone who calls himself a Christian who is sexually immoral, or greedy, or an idolater, or verbally abusive, or a drunkard, or a swindler. Do not even eat with such a person.

Because William was a believer, he would have never been that close to Tega if Tega had not also claimed to be a believer. William knew about God’s instruction not to be unequally yoked with unbelievers (2 Corinthians 6:14), but he wasn’t aware of the instruction in today’s verses that says not to keep company with anyone who claims to be a believer but lives immorally or like an unbeliever. This was the reason why Will struggled in his walk with the Lord.

Many believers have fallen into Satan’s trap by associating with so-called Christians who are actually unbelievers (wolves in sheep’s clothing) or believers with deep spiritual problems, who should be on spiritual quarantine.

Go into today remembering to guard your heart with all diligence, for out of it flows the springs of life (see Proverbs 4:23). One way to guard your heart is by carefully choosing the company you keep. A person who will walk in the blessing of heaven is one who is mindful of their associations and who delights in the Word of the Lord (see Psalm 1:1-3).

Prayer: Lord, help me from this day to keep company with those who will help me delight in Your Word and grow.
—Abraham Damilola Arigi
