Ever struggled with your faith?

 1 Timothy  6:12  Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.


Have you ever struggled with your faith?, or perhaps you're presently struggling with yours. There are times when you're trying to believe for a particular course and then it just feels nothing is changing. You've believed, prayed, confessed, prophesied and even tried walking in the reality of it, and it still seems nothing is changing. Don't lose hope or fret, this process is called "the purification of your faith". Delayed answers aren't to weaken us but strengthen us. Just as gold is purified in fire, so is faith purified in challenges. I always take a cue from the man who was at the pool of Bethesda for 38 years, such a touching story of faith I will be frank. The pool of Bethesda wasn't a place where impotent folks came to beg, it was a place where they came to receive healing. Now, there were also certain impotent folks outside begging alms, example was the man found at the temple gate called Beautiful. But the pool of Bethesda was strictly a place for healing. Now, I've always wondered "why didn't this man just leave this pool, and stay outside begging alms as some other impotent folks did", why would he wait these 38 long years and see no result? Such faith for 38 years! Well, he later would have the King of Glory visit him specially. Read the story yourself, Jesus didn't heal any other person that day at the pool except this man as the Bible records, this was a visit because of a man's faith and patience. Friend, because nothing is changing doesn't mean you're possibly doing the wrong thing, some times it's a process to get your miracle ready and loud. Fight the good fight of faith with patience and win! Do have a restful weekend 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...

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...
