1 Timothy  6:6 "But godliness with contentment is great gain."

 6:7 "For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out."


Have you ever taken ample time to study THE LIFESTYLE of Jesus Christ?. I believe He is the perfect model and standard of a life worth living. He never placed so much interest in material gains, as a matter of fact, He once said "the life of a man doesn't consist of the abundance of things he possesses". However, we live in a generation where even most people who believe in Him are so carried away with flashy things. Many, even go as far as saying , " He was poor so I could be rich, so Jesus lived a poor life, so I should be rich", of course that's not the real meaning of "He was poor so you should be rich". Jesus wasn't poor, He only became " spiritually poor ON THE CROSS" for the world's sake. But He wasn't financially or materially poor, nevertheless He never placed emphasis on material things. We live in a generation where respect and value are equated to material possession, youths are heads over heels in trying to amass wealth. Money isn't evil, but the love of it is, do not spend your energy chasing money as a 'do or die' affair. The recently arrested Hushpuppi whose been a certain figure most youths had tried emulating shows there really is dignity in good labour. Invest in yourself, exchange value for resources, and you'd find yourself in a world of contentment and great gain. A huge charge to the Youths out there!. Do have an awesome weekend ahead

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. ...

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 ...
