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😀

The Noble

Who is a noble person? Through Scripture references and inferences we'll embark on a journey that seeks to define and show us who God deems to be a noble person and why being one is an absolute no brainer, especially in this present noble-starved age. Pls note- the opinions presented in this article are derivations from the Scriptures and not a carnal fabrication or mere mental or cultural estimation of the author. You can look em up yourself to confirm the assertions and/or suggestions. The term noble/nobleman appears 40 times in the King James version of the Bible but it was first used in Exodus24:11 to describe certain "elders" who were to work alongside Moses in leading, guiding and directing the people of Israel according to the desires of God. Point to note is they were "leaders" and men of high repute often in the classification of princes and rulers over other people. So, if you're over anyone in leadership you're actually a noble save t...

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 ...

PLB Stories presents: David- How Big is Your Stomach 2?

The PLB stories are a blend of God-inspired Bible stories, revelations and fiction (literature license). So seat back, relax, cappuccino and read away! David had a flash back of his early music days... The only thing or person If you may, David loved more than his music was the one who gave him the music- Yahweh. As a result David sang and played more about God and His revelations in his heart than he did anything else, like literally nothing came close... He didn't have affection for too many things- and the Lord was the all in all of his affections. He was often left alone with his father's sheep as his brothers hurried to the parade ground to join in the army processions. He loved the solitude, the gentle breeze and the sunset evenings, music came so naturally to him at such times, he never stressed his mind to compose great music but on such cool evenings it was even easier. He would compose and sing all evening till it was time to feed the sheep and then he would ...
