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,

Count the Cost

  Luke  14:28 For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it? I'd never forget a knowledge I got in my Economics class while I was in my Pre-degree programme in 2013. The lecturer asked "what comes first, consumption or production?", without any hesitation, everyone shouted " Production ". The lecturer looking at us unsatisfied with some subtle grin on his face, asked " why?" , a guy raised his hand confidently, got up and said " because we produce before consumption can take place", the lecturer laughed, and we all for a minute looked bemused with certain indistinct chatters here and there, after some minutes, the lecturer called the young man and asked "so what happens when you produce and there's no one to consume it", and for about some few seconds, there was a seeming silence in the hall, you could hear a pin drop. The loud silence was fol...
