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 beyond him had decided to flee and fight with him.


Thoughts and thoughts and thoughts bombarded his mind everyday. Especially around this time of the evening. He was certain it was around this time that these thoughts came yesterday and the day before that as well. Tiresome thoughts, made him almost hate that he was still alive. "But whoever that could've survived all these terror I've been through has to know that his life must mean much to God" David thought. He felt some adrenaline juice up from within him at that very thought.


David never went anywhere without his harp, he'd been fleeing with his harp, twas one of his most precious possessions. He had grown up with this harp... He crafted it him self one sunny afternoon as he tended to his father's sheep some years ago. He'd made some absolutely beautiful sounds with it over the years. He loved his music, which was really a chronicle and diary of his life- what he thought about God, about life, about love, about light (yes, light).


His neighbour who worked at the palace was one of his greatest fans... always had so much praise for his music. The same man had recommended him to the King when the king was awfully sick of some strange sickness. Some said it was depression, some said it was a demon, some said it was simply too much thinking and the king needed some nice music to help him rest (different tabloids with their different perspectives)... To be continued.

    Sometimes, defeating one Goliath opens the room for more Goliaths. So brace up soldier, you ain't done just yet.

  Proverbs  16:3 Commit thy works unto the LORD, and thy thoughts shall be established. Most people tell others about their plans first even before they remember to tell God". It's so true, I've found out most times people have opinions, but God never has an opinion, God has direction. People have opinions, God has direction. While speaking with a friend yesterday, she recalled how some people had tried to talk her down/out from doing something, and I felt well, people always have opinions, and like David Ologbonori, a life-coach posited, " Opinions are cheap, they are everywhere, and they can be wrong". While I thought about the fact that sometimes people tell others about their plans before God, I thought to myself "why should a man inform others about what he wants to do even before the waymaker Himself?"😏. This doesn't mean you can't talk to "destiny-helpers", or " dreams investors ", but it has to do with who you give p...

PLB Editorial- Confessions 201

Just a few words... James 3:2-3(Amplified translation) For we all often stumble and fall and offend in many things. And if anyone does not offend in speech [never says the wrong things], he is a fully developed character and a perfect man, able to control his whole body and to curb his entire nature. If we set bits in the horses' mouths to make them obey us, we can turn their whole bodies about. We must never disesteem the power of words, we can steer our lives (our entire course of existence) in the direction we choose with our words. The Scripture above claims that if (and it's possible) we can master our tongue (master words), then we are a perfect and fully developed spiritual entity able to determine the circumstances and results of our being. Mehn! Use words rightly on yourself and others and watch your life beam with incredible supernatural radiance. You can proclaim the words below: I live a supernatural life everyday I am in the class of almighty G...

Peace, Soundness of Mind

  2 Timothy  1:7 "For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. " I'm a firm believer that one of the most vital if not the most vital aspect of the human health is the mental health. Its so important to have a mind that's put together. A lot of times, there are challenges that come our way which test our mental capacity and strength, some times they are quite overwhelming, making it seem like we just need to go somewhere solitary to have a "cool off", however the scriptures promises something quite lovely. God says to those who accept Him in their lives, He has given "... a sound mind" , the phrase "sound mind" is translated from the Greek word "Sophronismos", which means " a mental state well balanced with accurate judgement". This is the kind of mind you have in Christ. A mind configured to make accurate and sound judgement, a mind that's in the rest of God. Most i...
