PLB Editorial- Skillful Living

Hebrews 5:13 For every one that useth milk [is] unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe. Just cause you read the Scriptures doesn't mean you're skillful at it's analysis and application. There's a deft skill that must be included in your application of truth. These skills are the true separators between kids and mature folks in Christ. These skills are applicable to any and every area of life. They are the reasons some are excellent and ahead, while those that lack it are merely getting by, are normal or badly compromised but living normal just ain't normal with God, He prefers glorious living, skillful living. 2 Timothy 2:15 (AMP) says, "study and be eager and do your utmost to present yourself to God approved (tested by trial), a workman who has no cause to be ashamed, correctly analyzing and accurately dividing [rightly handling and skillfully teaching] the Word of Truth". You get these skills primarily by studying the Bible aga

PLB Editorial- Presiding Judges

1 Corinthians 2:15 But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man. Now, the Bible calls us many glorious things. He calls us gods, kings, lights etc. Psalm 87:3 actually says, "Glorious things are spoken of thee, O city of God. Selah." The Bible is our sure go-to resource for motivation and inspiration. He never puts you down or make you feel worthless, dejected and unattractive, rather, He builds you up and encourages and believes in you even than you do in you. He only calls us absolutely wonderful names and decorates us so beautifully all the time. Gotta love Him (the Word, that is). Here in the opening verse He calls us judges. We are judges. If you are spiritual, He calls you a judge of all things (all situations, circumstances). You should not allow situations judge you, or pass sentence on you! You are the judge here! The pendulum will swing in the direction you choose and insist upon. Tell that situation what you want and compel

PLB Editorial- Prayer of Salvation

Being born again is not a heaven behaviour modification programme, neither is it a moral code regiment. To be born again means to accept Jesus as one's Lord and declare Him so! The moment that is done, one's natural life is completely replaced with God's divine life- in essence, the old dude died and a completely new and different being has emerged which was born this time by almighty God and that immediately translates you into his class! No other creation of God has this privilege except the man who is born again. So rejoice, your new and best life begins now! According to the Bible in Romans10:9-10 (check it out yourself) getting started is by believing and confessing the Lordship of Jesus. So you can say the words below with your whole heart and God'll take it from there. "Oh Lord God, I come to you in the name of Jesus Christ. Your word says, "…whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved" (Acts 2:21) I ask Jesus to come into my

PLB Editorial- Who's to blame for the evil in the world?

Sometimes, the pictures of war and turmoil, people (especially children) living with very deadly health issues such as cancer and HIV or those living in poverty and helplessness can be very disturbing indeed😟. It leads many to ask the popular question- "if there's a God, why do these things happen when He could simply use His infinite power to stop them?" I remember a story in the Bible where Jesus was faced with a man who was born blind (John 9). Actually the original manuscripts reveal that he was born without eyeballs in his eye sockets, just 2 holes on his face where his eyes should've been. Jesus' disciples were puzzled and grossly disturbed. "Who sinned", they asked, "himself or his parents?" Jesus' answer was "You're asking the wrong question. You're looking for someone to blame. There is no such cause-effect here. Look instead for what God can do" (John9:3 MSG) or  "don't start the blame game

Shining Lights πŸŒ•πŸŒŸ☀❇

Had to put up some amazing Scriptures about this in continuation of yesterday's PLB Confessions 106. Matthew5:16 says, let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works and glorify your father which is in heaven. We are the lights of the world but we need to shine more than ever before. We need to intensify our brightness and effect. Jesus enjoins us to "let" our lights "so" shine such that we become impossible to be neglected or overlooked. The point is, it is once again our role and responsibility to shine our light not God's. He has made us the light of the world and handed us the control switch to our light and requires of us in these days to tune up our incandescence for His glory! The Bible commended someone for having done extraordinarily well in tuning up his light- John the Baptist- He was called a "burning and a shining light" (John5:35). That's what He wants us to be to our world today. We have to stop moving w

PLB CONFESSIONS 106- Shining Lights πŸŒ•❇

According to the Bible we (God's people) are the light of the world. Actually, Jesus said so Himself in Matthew 5:14,Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. What is light? The Bible also shows us what light is, Ephesians 5:13 says, But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light. Light makes manifest, light reveals, light exposes, light shows forth, light illuminates. Darkness is associated with evil, ignorance, bad stuff but light is associated with good, knowledge and blessings. As lights of God, we make manifest the life of God. We're expected to shine for Him in this world by intensifying our efforts in living the life He's given to us. Philippians 2:15 says, That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world. This is our goal to reveal God and His love and His

PLB's Book πŸ“š Review: 5 Indubitable Facts to Living a Fulfilled Life- Olawale Yusuf

ABOUT THE BOOK: There is nothing that happened to the life of a man that just happened, it is only possible that man may be totally or partially ignorant of the casual factors. Life is not an haphazard series of events. Life is not a puppet to fate; life is governed by principles. Only those who understand these principles and leverage them are not frustrated by ignorance on why certain occurrences happen to them. These principles comprise of the physical and spiritual. Stop living a life of try-and-error, a life of gamble, a life at the pity of chances and at the mercy of fate. Read this book to understand the principles that make you pilot your life to success. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Yusuf Olawale is the founder of Global Solution Providers Network, a growing network which has the aim to make more young people become part of the solutions rather than part of the problems to be solved in their various spheres. He passionately adds value to people and make indelible impacts. P

PLB Stories presents: David- How Big is Your Stomach 2?

The PLB stories are a blend of God-inspired Bible stories, revelations and fiction (literature license). So seat back, relax, cappuccino and read away! David had a flash back of his early music days... The only thing or person If you may, David loved more than his music was the one who gave him the music- Yahweh. As a result David sang and played more about God and His revelations in his heart than he did anything else, like literally nothing came close... He didn't have affection for too many things- and the Lord was the all in all of his affections. He was often left alone with his father's sheep as his brothers hurried to the parade ground to join in the army processions. He loved the solitude, the gentle breeze and the sunset evenings, music came so naturally to him at such times, he never stressed his mind to compose great music but on such cool evenings it was even easier. He would compose and sing all evening till it was time to feed the sheep and then he would

PLB Stories presents: David- How big is your stomach 1?

The PLB stories are a blend of God-inspired Bible stories, revelations and fiction (literature license). So seat back, relax, cappuccino and read away! David had spent much of his youth running, fleeing, escaping from Saul's ever-advancing troop of soldiers who'd been charged with one sole purpose, one sole mission statement, that is- THE ANNAHILATION OF DAVID. It's been years since David last saw his family. His dad must be worry sick. His mum, he tried not to think too much of her, he knew she'd be completely heartbroken by now. His brothers were supposedly in the army but he wasn't sure if they were in the section which Saul had appointed to come against him. His wives, they were probably with his mum now, grieving together what they already predicted would be the demise of David. His childhood friends,... only faint memories still existed in his mind of them. For some years now, his friends had been these guys he met while fleeing and for some reason

New Song Alert: Mike Body- Women Only

This is probably the best Christian hip hop/trap music 🎧 I've heard all year! You could call it hardcore Christian hip hop if you like. Absolutely five-stars dope! Though the title of this song is women only, it is not in anyway gender specific/restrictive. So get listening no matter your gender. PLB'S VERDICT: * This is an absolutely fantastic song. Everything sounds A-grade and perfectly engineered. * The lyrical content is fabulous. "I ain't changing nothing, I'm just speaking for me". He loves the women as they are but is amazed!😁. The delivery is equally fantastic. * The sound engineering is excellent as well, dope. * "Mike Body- Women Only" gets 5 stars out of 5 from the PLB team! Mike Body Bio: "Put God at the heart of your Music" These were the words spoken to Mike as a spiritual baby by his big brother in christ, Kevin Alston. Kevin's encouragement would help lay the foundation for an unexpected run at Chr

PLB'S CONFESSIONS 105- LOVE πŸ’Ÿ

So much has been said about loveπŸ’ž yet so much more is required to be said, especially about divine love. There are different kinds of love but the PLB talks only about divine love all the time because that is the only authentic love that never fails and helps us attain our optimum potentials according to the Bible (Ephesians3:19). That it is divine love doesn't mean it must or can only be between God and man, no, not at all. Divine love simply means- God's kind, type and quality of love. This quality of love is replete in the Bible, especially in the person of Jesus as He related with God and people when He walked the streets of this world physically some 2000 years ago.  So in essence, when Christ lives in our hearts, His love becomes shed abroad in our hearts (Romans5:5) thereby overthrowing carnal human love and flushing it out of us and as a result, we realise we can only love like God. We begin to see others as God sees them and we begin to love them as God loves the
