PLB'S CONFESSIONS 104- JOY


Joy is an outburst of happy emotion. Joy is usually expressed outwardly in dancing, singing, jumping and sometimes crying (happy hot tears😭). Happiness is benign joy but joy is an eruption of happy vibes and juices which is expressed outwardly. You can be happy and keep it to yourself, but joy, you can't keep it to yourself, it'll take you over! Joy usually knows no bounds in it's expression.

As a Christian you already have this joy inside of you! (We blessed man, we blessed😊). Galatians5:22 declares that joy is a natural fruit (result) for God's kids. We don't pray or ask for it, we simply activate it from within by CHOOSING to be joyous! Dazall!

James1:2-3 says to COUNT IT all joy when we pass through diverse tests. This means it's a matter of choice for the Christian to be joyous, you can decide to consider it as bad or as an opportunity to grow and improve your life. This is not a case of "I'll be happy if things were going alright" kinda talk. This is a case of being joyous irrespective of what you're going through knowing that all things are working together for your good as God's child.

For the natural man challenges and trying times may make him miserable and even kill him but for God's kids the Bible calls challenges "tests", "trials", "bread". We absolutely outclass any and every challenge in might and wisdom and God is confident we've already won ever before the challenges began. So we are to be joyous IN the trying times and keep dancing and enjoying our lives.

You can affirm the joy of the Lord in you with these words below:

I'm a child of God
Therefore I have joy in my spirit as a spring
No lifeless, boring times with me
Heaven is in me, the joys of heaven are springing in me
I have joy unspeakable and full of glory at all times
No matter the challenges I go through, I have already won!
I won when Jesus won, so I've got my garment of praise on
And praising God in victory!!!
Hallelujah!

A bientot,
Pastor Lams 😎.

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...

PLB Editorial- Cheers 🍻 to life!

Jesus, while speaking to listeners in John 6 talked of them eating his flesh and drinking his blood and how this would forever quench their hunger and thirst. Most of the people who heard this couldn't receive it, it seemed as if Jesus was trying to initiate them into some cult where they'd all be required to be cannibals. Yet Jesus, unapologetic as He always was didn't even try to break it down to their understanding, instead He said "those who hear and learn from my Father come to me". On that day some of His disciples left Him, citing how His teaching and doctrine was too controversial and hard to take. Howbeit none from the popular 12 left. Fast forward to 1Corinthians11:24 and Paul is reiterating the events of the Jesus' last supper with His disciples as He received it from God. Jesus used those words again "this is my body" and "this is the cup of the new testament in my blood" and required of us to break and eat and also to drink. ...
