PLB-The Gospel of Jesus 2


Genesis 12:2-3 And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.

So, Abraham was such a huge figure in Jewish tradition. God actually began the entire nation of Israel through him. He's still so huge it is said that all the three major faiths in the world today hold him in the highest esteem.

God blessed him so much and made Him so great and it's amazing to see that the words God blessed him with actually came to pass and still work today. Everybody likes to be associated and identified with the blessing of Abraham because it's such a high one such that it is largely believed that the Jews, Abraham's descendants, are perhaps the richest and wealthiest people in the world today. We as Christians however enjoy a much greater and blessing than what the natural Jews enjoy. We'll talk about that some other time.

Genesis 22:18 And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed my voice.

In the new testament, Jesus is referred to as the seed of Abraham and we're told that anyone who belongs to Jesus is automatically a total beneficiary of the blessings of Abraham.

Galatians 3:29 And if ye [be] Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.

This means for everyone that accepts Jesus as Lord of their lives, they are heirs and beneficiaries of the Abrahamic blessings. This is why we prosper all the time, no matter what we're involved in we always come out on top and as winners. We even become famous without forcing it and begin trends and inventions that last forever! Our businesses last and are super profitable forever, our innovations and inventions are many and last and are relevant forever! And guess what, we're not confined to local success, we are globally successful! Every family and individual in the world is influenced and impacted and blessed by us, just like Jesus!

Great news eh? That's why we preach this gospel, the love of Christ compels us to bring more and more people into this light as we change the world together!

Yours in service,
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...

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. ...
