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.

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 ...

The Noble

Who is a noble person? Through Scripture references and inferences we'll embark on a journey that seeks to define and show us who God deems to be a noble person and why being one is an absolute no brainer, especially in this present noble-starved age. Pls note- the opinions presented in this article are derivations from the Scriptures and not a carnal fabrication or mere mental or cultural estimation of the author. You can look em up yourself to confirm the assertions and/or suggestions. The term noble/nobleman appears 40 times in the King James version of the Bible but it was first used in Exodus24:11 to describe certain "elders" who were to work alongside Moses in leading, guiding and directing the people of Israel according to the desires of God. Point to note is they were "leaders" and men of high repute often in the classification of princes and rulers over other people. So, if you're over anyone in leadership you're actually a noble save t...

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...
