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 😎.

  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...

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...
