Shining Lights 🌕🌟☀❇

Had to put up some amazing Scriptures about this in continuation of yesterday's PLB Confessions 106.
Matthew5:16 says, let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works and glorify your father which is in heaven.
We are the lights of the world but we need to shine more than ever before. We need to intensify our brightness and effect. Jesus enjoins us to "let" our lights "so" shine such that we become impossible to be neglected or overlooked.
The point is, it is once again our role and responsibility to shine our light not God's. He has made us the light of the world and handed us the control switch to our light and requires of us in these days to tune up our incandescence for His glory!
The Bible commended someone for having done extraordinarily well in tuning up his light- John the Baptist- He was called a "burning and a shining light" (John5:35). That's what He wants us to be to our world today. We have to stop moving with the tide, arrest our minds and impulses and "present our bodies as a living sacrifice to God" (Romans12:1) and allow His Word (His Light) to light us up so as to do those good works He preordained for us to do.
From studying the Scriptures, good works include our acts of kindness towards others, our acts of love towards others, our excellent service to God and others, and other true and virtuous endeavours (works and jobs) which highlight and are in consonance with God's Word and His love and His grace and His provisions. They could also include:
1. Our acts of service and worship to God
2. Our giving's to God (Tithes and offerings)
3. Other charitable giving and service
4. Thanksgiving
5. Souls won
6. Our inspiring lifestyle
7. Restored souls
8. Acts of kindness
9. Using graceful words on others
These good works are what others will see and be inspired by us and would want to know the Lord as well. Titus 2:14 puts it this way, "who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto Himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works".
So, as God's kids it's very natural for us to want to do good works, we're actually always excited about it according to the Scripture above.
So, turn up... the light starting from today!
Lighting up the world,
Pastor Lams 😎

  Proverbs  16:3 Commit thy works unto the LORD, and thy thoughts shall be established. Most people tell others about their plans first even before they remember to tell God". It's so true, I've found out most times people have opinions, but God never has an opinion, God has direction. People have opinions, God has direction. While speaking with a friend yesterday, she recalled how some people had tried to talk her down/out from doing something, and I felt well, people always have opinions, and like David Ologbonori, a life-coach posited, " Opinions are cheap, they are everywhere, and they can be wrong". While I thought about the fact that sometimes people tell others about their plans before God, I thought to myself "why should a man inform others about what he wants to do even before the waymaker Himself?"😏. This doesn't mean you can't talk to "destiny-helpers", or " dreams investors ", but it has to do with who you give p...

PLB Editorial- Confessions 201

Just a few words... James 3:2-3(Amplified translation) For we all often stumble and fall and offend in many things. And if anyone does not offend in speech [never says the wrong things], he is a fully developed character and a perfect man, able to control his whole body and to curb his entire nature. If we set bits in the horses' mouths to make them obey us, we can turn their whole bodies about. We must never disesteem the power of words, we can steer our lives (our entire course of existence) in the direction we choose with our words. The Scripture above claims that if (and it's possible) we can master our tongue (master words), then we are a perfect and fully developed spiritual entity able to determine the circumstances and results of our being. Mehn! Use words rightly on yourself and others and watch your life beam with incredible supernatural radiance. You can proclaim the words below: I live a supernatural life everyday I am in the class of almighty G...

Taking the Virtual edge

Psalms  133:1 "Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!" 133:2 "It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron's beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments;" The beauty of Christianity is in fellowship. Well, due to certain 'developments' around the globe, there's been restrictions on public gatherings, however, this should never put an embargo on fellowshipping with one another as Christians. I've often thought to myself, the internet came at the very right time, the internet is for the advantage of believers. Now, with the internet, we can reach much more people with the glorious gospel of Jesus Christ. Some people, otherwise who wouldn't have come to Church physically might most definitely stumble on a Christian event online and then believe in Jesus. I heard of a lady who didn't go to Church because she was of a different religion and being afr...
