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 😎.

Apostle Peter- Running 1

A blend of Bible stories, revelations and fiction (literature license) about Peter's life and somewhat complex choices and decisions. Sit back, relax, cappuccino and enjoy! And Peter was running again, away from the persecution that had once again broken out against the Church. Jesus had been long gone. He missed Him. He still had nostalgia and goose bumps whenever he remembered just how divine Jesus was. He had seen Jesus do a lot of amazing miracles but none quite like the last one- he and his other folks, some 50 of them watched as Jesus levitated into the heavens until no physical eyes could see him again. He said He was going to heaven and of course that was true- Peter knew now by deep conviction that he'd walked with God Himself. And for some reason he thought himself a friend of God. He knew he was going to see Jesus again sometime soon. There was no debate in his heart about this. He loved Jesus or perhaps God- they were one and the same persons to him now. He ...

PLB Editorial- Cheers 🍻 to life!

Jesus, while speaking to listeners in John 6 talked of them eating his flesh and drinking his blood and how this would forever quench their hunger and thirst. Most of the people who heard this couldn't receive it, it seemed as if Jesus was trying to initiate them into some cult where they'd all be required to be cannibals. Yet Jesus, unapologetic as He always was didn't even try to break it down to their understanding, instead He said "those who hear and learn from my Father come to me". On that day some of His disciples left Him, citing how His teaching and doctrine was too controversial and hard to take. Howbeit none from the popular 12 left. Fast forward to 1Corinthians11:24 and Paul is reiterating the events of the Jesus' last supper with His disciples as He received it from God. Jesus used those words again "this is my body" and "this is the cup of the new testament in my blood" and required of us to break and eat and also to drink. ...
