Eat before leaving😀

 1 Kings  19:7 "And the angel of the LORD came again the second time, and touched him, and said, Arise and eat; because the journey is too great for thee."


Strength is as important as a journey. No matter how eager you are to complete a task, the ability to start and go through any task with enough strength is always important. Many people have delved into things a lot without first sitting to muster much strength(spiritual/physical/mental acumen). The scripture above is such a profound story of the task Elijah was about to face, but the most important thing is An Angel coming to give him food, telling him to eat because the journey was far. Come to think of it, this was God giving Elijah this journey, yet God had to tell him to eat, couldn't God supernaturally sustain him along the way as long as it was God who sent him on this journey?, yet God told him to eat, in fact, the Angel had to tell Elijah twice to eat, Elijah must have been so eager to start as so many people do😀. Friend, no matter how 'God-given' a vision is, until you "eat" (gather enough spiritual/physical/mental strength) you might start but most likely not be able to finish. Eat before you start, and if you've started and are tired. Rest and Eat😀

Do have a great week ahead😀

Going on to know Him

People easily judge other people when they don't know them. We all may be guilty of this. A Lotta times, we stereotype people by how they look, their dressing and outward mannerisms ever before we hear them speak. I have been shocked many times of how guilty I've been with this. The most recent of such a person I nearly badly stereotyped turned out to be such an incredible person, so different and special in her way and she helped me in many beautiful ways such that we became pretty cool friends in the space of just a few months but this was the same lady I almost thought was way away from my type of friends. We've all made such mistakes so don't look at me that way😶😇. When we were done with the project that brought us together, I offered to take us to an icecream spot- it would probably be the last time we were seeing so it was my way of saying "thanks". There I told her how I had felt about her when I first saw her and she was somewhat unsurprised and sa...

PLB Editorial- Cheers 🍻 to life!

Jesus, while speaking to listeners in John 6 talked of them eating his flesh and drinking his blood and how this would forever quench their hunger and thirst. Most of the people who heard this couldn't receive it, it seemed as if Jesus was trying to initiate them into some cult where they'd all be required to be cannibals. Yet Jesus, unapologetic as He always was didn't even try to break it down to their understanding, instead He said "those who hear and learn from my Father come to me". On that day some of His disciples left Him, citing how His teaching and doctrine was too controversial and hard to take. Howbeit none from the popular 12 left. Fast forward to 1Corinthians11:24 and Paul is reiterating the events of the Jesus' last supper with His disciples as He received it from God. Jesus used those words again "this is my body" and "this is the cup of the new testament in my blood" and required of us to break and eat and also to drink. ...
