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 😎.

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...
