As a leader , there is the need to know your own Onesiphorus. Note the people that stand by you in your trials, just as Paul did not forget Onesiphorus who was helping Paul in many ways, looking out for him and was not ashamed of his chains.

Certain people will desert you when you are going through trials or hard times. Phygelus and Hermogenes deserted Paul during trials.

When you come out of trials or that pit of life, it is wise to think twice before starting fellowship with the people who deserted you but look out for your own Onesiphorus. 2 Tim.1:15-18.
