Calm Down 😀

 Proverbs  25:28  "He that hath no rule over his own spirit is like a city that is broken down, and without walls."

     Tayo, a young promising man in his early 20s was on his way to get some groceries at the grocery store down the street when he saw another guy in a heated argument with his friend. In a bid to show solidarity, he runs down to "help" his friend, while trying to wade into the matter he forcefully pushes the other guy, a gutter was nearby, the guy slipped, and hit his head on an iron bar, and dies on the spot. Tayo never got to the grocery store or back home until after 15 years behind bars for manslaughter.

  Self-control has been a reason many have preserved their liberty while others without exercising it have sold theirs'. In a world where many see calmness as a form of weakness and retaliation as strength, it takes one with wisdom to know how to live in peace. The scripture above posits who a man without self-control is like, He says "he is like a city broken down without walls", always ready to be attacked from external forces. Today, make up your mind to ALWAYS be in charge of:

1.Your emotions.

2.Your decisions.

3.Your actions.

No situation should be too big to trigger an action that's not been scrutinized by Self-control.

Calm Down😀

  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...
