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 wonders and His virtues and His Gospel and His blessings to the world! That's how to shine for the Lord.

You can make these affirmations below as you shine forth for the master today and always.

I am the light of God
I am the light of the world
I shine for the Lord everywhere and every time
I show forth His love, kindness, goodness and blessings to my world
I use every medium available to me to shine for Him
I reveal His Gospel to my world
And my actions cause more people to glorify Him and come to Him.
Hallelujah!

See ya!

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 wayπŸ˜ΆπŸ˜‡. 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...
