PLB-The Gospel of Jesus 2


Genesis 12:2-3 And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.

So, Abraham was such a huge figure in Jewish tradition. God actually began the entire nation of Israel through him. He's still so huge it is said that all the three major faiths in the world today hold him in the highest esteem.

God blessed him so much and made Him so great and it's amazing to see that the words God blessed him with actually came to pass and still work today. Everybody likes to be associated and identified with the blessing of Abraham because it's such a high one such that it is largely believed that the Jews, Abraham's descendants, are perhaps the richest and wealthiest people in the world today. We as Christians however enjoy a much greater and blessing than what the natural Jews enjoy. We'll talk about that some other time.

Genesis 22:18 And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed my voice.

In the new testament, Jesus is referred to as the seed of Abraham and we're told that anyone who belongs to Jesus is automatically a total beneficiary of the blessings of Abraham.

Galatians 3:29 And if ye [be] Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.

This means for everyone that accepts Jesus as Lord of their lives, they are heirs and beneficiaries of the Abrahamic blessings. This is why we prosper all the time, no matter what we're involved in we always come out on top and as winners. We even become famous without forcing it and begin trends and inventions that last forever! Our businesses last and are super profitable forever, our innovations and inventions are many and last and are relevant forever! And guess what, we're not confined to local success, we are globally successful! Every family and individual in the world is influenced and impacted and blessed by us, just like Jesus!

Great news eh? That's why we preach this gospel, the love of Christ compels us to bring more and more people into this light as we change the world together!

Yours in service,
Pastor Lams 😎.

Apostle Peter- Running 1

A blend of Bible stories, revelations and fiction (literature license) about Peter's life and somewhat complex choices and decisions. Sit back, relax, cappuccino and enjoy! And Peter was running again, away from the persecution that had once again broken out against the Church. Jesus had been long gone. He missed Him. He still had nostalgia and goose bumps whenever he remembered just how divine Jesus was. He had seen Jesus do a lot of amazing miracles but none quite like the last one- he and his other folks, some 50 of them watched as Jesus levitated into the heavens until no physical eyes could see him again. He said He was going to heaven and of course that was true- Peter knew now by deep conviction that he'd walked with God Himself. And for some reason he thought himself a friend of God. He knew he was going to see Jesus again sometime soon. There was no debate in his heart about this. He loved Jesus or perhaps God- they were one and the same persons to him now. He

Going on to know Him

People easily judge other people when they don't know them. We all may be guilty of this. A Lotta times, we stereotype people by how they look, their dressing and outward mannerisms ever before we hear them speak. I have been shocked many times of how guilty I've been with this. The most recent of such a person I nearly badly stereotyped turned out to be such an incredible person, so different and special in her way and she helped me in many beautiful ways such that we became pretty cool friends in the space of just a few months but this was the same lady I almost thought was way away from my type of friends. We've all made such mistakes so don't look at me that way😶😇. When we were done with the project that brought us together, I offered to take us to an icecream spot- it would probably be the last time we were seeing so it was my way of saying "thanks". There I told her how I had felt about her when I first saw her and she was somewhat unsurprised and sa

#perfectlovechallenge

Wow! While studying the Bible yesterday I was presented a challenge by God and had to get the PLB team involved asap. Check out the Scripture below. 1 John 4:18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love. Did you see that word? The one most of us dread and consider totally impractical is featured in this Scripture... right there as the 8th and 23rd words 😃. But really do you think it is really possible to practise "perfect" love? Pls comment below and let the world know! I know the word "PERFECT" scares the crap outta people but when God says "perfect" is possible then it means we are entirely fashioned within and without to do it. There's absolutely no reservation in this Scripture as regards whether or not it is possible to be "perfect" in love in this transient world! I think it's safe to say that it is possible to be perfect (fully mat
