Take Responsibility

1 Samuel  17:20 "And David rose up early in the morning, and left the sheep with a keeper, and took, and went, as Jesse had commanded him;..."


God honors and values a man who has a sense of responsibility. One of the very first appearances of irresponsibility detested by God can be seen in the phrase made by Cain just shortly after the murder of his brother, Abel "Am I my brother's keeper"?(Gen4:9). 
 The context verse above gives an amazing understanding on the importance of responsibility, it shows David being told by his father Jesse to take food to his three brothers who were at the war between Israel and the Philistines but David however who was a caretaker of sheep looked for someone to leave his sheep with before leaving to meet his brothers. This is one vital aspect a lot of people tend to overlook, David didn't out of excitement to go see how the war looked, leave his sheep without being tended for, he looked for a man to leave them with, who would care for them while he was away. This looks similar to Jesus telling Peter to take care of His sheep(the Church) while He was away also. Friend, it's important to be responsible, you must be diligent to look over what you're left in charge of. If you've got a son/daughter, be responsible to train them till adulthood, if you've got a career, be responsible to follow up till the end, every great man is an addict of responsibility. Don't be a man who tries to avert blames when the call of responsibility, take responsibility for everything around you.Stay responsible. Do have a great day ahead

  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...

PLB Editorial- Confessions 201

Just a few words... James 3:2-3(Amplified translation) For we all often stumble and fall and offend in many things. And if anyone does not offend in speech [never says the wrong things], he is a fully developed character and a perfect man, able to control his whole body and to curb his entire nature. If we set bits in the horses' mouths to make them obey us, we can turn their whole bodies about. We must never disesteem the power of words, we can steer our lives (our entire course of existence) in the direction we choose with our words. The Scripture above claims that if (and it's possible) we can master our tongue (master words), then we are a perfect and fully developed spiritual entity able to determine the circumstances and results of our being. Mehn! Use words rightly on yourself and others and watch your life beam with incredible supernatural radiance. You can proclaim the words below: I live a supernatural life everyday I am in the class of almighty G...
