You need Friends

 Proverbs  18:24 "A man that hath friends must shew himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother."


Growing up, I never really understood the concept of "Friendship". I mostly even thought to myself, what the need of having friends was. I had friends but I never really saw the importance of friendship, until I stumbled on this passage in my mid-teenage years, Oh! what light shun on my soul. Friendship is a beautiful thing, no man can ever say " He doesn't need friends", some people even say "I don't keep friends" , and then I laugh, it's one thing to say "you don't keep too many friends", it's another to say " you don't keep friends". To be a  successful person in life, you need people. Success is not attained until the people factor is in. When God blesses you with ideas, you definitely will need people to execute it with. God saw the need of a friend for Adam, hence Eve was given. Eve was primarily a friend for Adam before a wife. A friend is someone who believes in you, someone you work with in achieving any goal together or any vision together for yourself, for him/herself , or for others. The scripture above shows if you must have friends, you must first be friendly, a negative attitude will attract negative people, a positive friendly attitude will attract positive friendly people. You attract people like you. If you ever say "I don't have friends" , it simply means one thing, You are not a friendly person. You must look into yourself and change any negativity. You will always need people. You will always need friends. 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...

Taking the Virtual edge

Psalms  133:1 "Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!" 133:2 "It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron's beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments;" The beauty of Christianity is in fellowship. Well, due to certain 'developments' around the globe, there's been restrictions on public gatherings, however, this should never put an embargo on fellowshipping with one another as Christians. I've often thought to myself, the internet came at the very right time, the internet is for the advantage of believers. Now, with the internet, we can reach much more people with the glorious gospel of Jesus Christ. Some people, otherwise who wouldn't have come to Church physically might most definitely stumble on a Christian event online and then believe in Jesus. I heard of a lady who didn't go to Church because she was of a different religion and being afr...
