PLB Editorial- Skillful Living


Hebrews 5:13 For every one that useth milk [is] unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe.


Just cause you read the Scriptures doesn't mean you're skillful at it's analysis and application. There's a deft skill that must be included in your application of truth. These skills are the true separators between kids and mature folks in Christ. These skills are applicable to any and every area of life. They are the reasons some are excellent and ahead, while those that lack it are merely getting by, are normal or badly compromised but living normal just ain't normal with God, He prefers glorious living, skillful living.

2 Timothy 2:15 (AMP) says, "study and be eager and do your utmost to present yourself to God approved (tested by trial), a workman who has no cause to be ashamed, correctly analyzing and accurately dividing [rightly handling and skillfully teaching] the Word of Truth".

You get these skills primarily by studying the Bible again and again- like literally just bury yourself in there. Have Word feasts, Word chats, obsess yourself with the Word.
Think of athletes, I'll use Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi (let's not start that war here pls) as examples. Crazy desire, training, exercise and consistency have made them 2 of the finest footballers (soccer players) of all time! They obsessed themselves with the ball! Now everyone's obsessed about watching them play. Their skills developed the more they did the same thing over and over again and they are masters of their craft today.

You can't give up on the Word! You may have to be at it for years, totally devoted to it in study and application. This is true living.This thing never failed those who had this approach to it so you're assured it's gon work. Chances are you're gonna find this process utmostly exciting and rewarding most of the time, I mean who wouldn't find God exciting, yet there'll be days you're not as excited as other days, plus, from time to time you're gonna be served some life tests and exams that you should pass since you've been prepared for them but ultimately you'd realise you're living a glory life through and through. This same you has become a whole nother you courtesy of the Word of God! Glorious stuff!

Avec amour,
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 ...

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. ...
