PLB Editorial: Cheer up!!! 🎉🎈 (John16)


John 16:1 "I have told you these things so that you won't abandon your faith."

Today, I recommend that you take out time sometime this weekend to study this Scripture and the entire chapter of John 16. Jesus was spitting some real hardcore truth to His disciples that are just as true today as they were then.

I am amazed, He knew that we were gonna face real tough times that'd challenge our faith in Him to the very core. He even knew that these challenges could be so strong that they tempt us so greatly to "abandon" our faith. He didn't mince words, we were to face crazy and unbelievably tough times simply because we love Him and have chosen to live by His word.

In John 16:2, He said, "For you will be expelled from the synagogues, and the time is coming when those who kill you will think they are doing a holy service for God". That's how bad it's gotten for some of us around the world. People killing Christians thinking they're doing God a favour.

Your case might be different though, maybe it's not persecution but challenging situations to your faith such as health issues, need for money, marital problems etc. These situations could get so bad sometimes you just feel like throwing the towel in on God. Well relax!!! Just chill for a bit!

With Jesus everything always ends with you as winner. The verses 20-22 talk of sudden wonderful joy that'd envelope you if you'd just stick in little while longer and do what the Word says. And this joy, no man, situation or circumstance can take away from you! You're ahead and not behind, progressing and not regressing, on top and not beneath! Cheer up Jesus got your back!

The chapter ends with Jesus saying this: "These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world".
In Him, you have overcome the world too! Ask today, what you want from the father in the name of Jesus and it's yours. Ask Him not desperately but as a prince asks of a king! So Cheer up! Cheer up!! Cheer up!!!🎉🎊🎉🎈

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...
