Love the carrier

1 Samuel  24:12 "The LORD judge between me and thee, and the LORD avenge me of thee: but mine hand shall not be upon thee."

"You can't get something a man has without loving him" - Pastor David Ibieyomie

One thing I had to consciously train myself growing up in much later years of my Faith is focusing on the good things done by men and learning from those. Any gift you covet, must attract your loving the carrier, be it in ministry, sports, education, etc. There's no doubt that yes, sometimes people make mistakes, some times even often that not, these mistakes are glaring, but it's the gift you desire not the mistake, you learn on the gift, take a cue from their mistakes made but you must love them. I strongly believe that if David had harmed Saul while he saw him at the cave sleeping even though he was anointed, he wouldn't have become King or even been a good King, need be say, the anointing upon him(David) made him do the right thing as such. David showed that no matter how grave a man's mistakes are, if you covet a gift or position they carry, you must love them. How can you want to be an Actor or an Actress, and you lambast or criticize almost every Actor? No!. One of the signs you're on achieving your career path is celebrating those who have gone ahead of you. Don't spend time talking about people's mistakes. Do have a great Sunday 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?"๐Ÿ˜. 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...

Peace, Soundness of Mind

  2 Timothy  1:7 "For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. " I'm a firm believer that one of the most vital if not the most vital aspect of the human health is the mental health. Its so important to have a mind that's put together. A lot of times, there are challenges that come our way which test our mental capacity and strength, some times they are quite overwhelming, making it seem like we just need to go somewhere solitary to have a "cool off", however the scriptures promises something quite lovely. God says to those who accept Him in their lives, He has given "... a sound mind" , the phrase "sound mind" is translated from the Greek word "Sophronismos", which means " a mental state well balanced with accurate judgement". This is the kind of mind you have in Christ. A mind configured to make accurate and sound judgement, a mind that's in the rest of God. Most i...
