Reason for Living

 Luke  12:20  "But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided?"


Did you ever read the whole story of the above verse?. Its such a remarkable one. Jesus talks about a rich man who expanded his assets, yet a sentence of death was passed to him by God, its a remarkable story, you should read it. Question is, why did God pass a sentence of "death" on him?, Is God against prosperity?, No, is God wicked?, of course not, so why did God pass a sentence of death on him?. He passed a sentence of death on him because the man had no justified reason to be alive anymore. Shortly, after the man had expanded His assets, He said "And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry." (Lk12:19). Did you see that? The man wasn't living for any course anymore, He was living just for EATING. Friend, you should know that the greatest reason for living is IMPACT & INFLUENCE. The moment you lose your place of impacting others, you become like the man in this story. God set you & I in this world for a purpose, and every day of our lives must be geared towards fulfilling and living that purpose. You must be a man or woman of impact, its your life, its your calling. Its God's essence of giving you life, never allow any iota of selfishness, selfishness is a breach in the plan of God for your life. Let your goals, knowledge, gifts, monies, ideas be geared towards impacting others. 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...

PLB Foundation: Benue Flood Victims Donations

www.theinnercitymission.ngo/donate This isn't a season of hurricanes floods and natural disasters, nope, it's not. This is a season of love, a season where our affections must be compelled enough to help those in need of our help. A season where devastation meets an overwhelming force of love ❤ and help. This is not the season to stand quiet and watch "others" do the helping. It's a season for us (you and me) to be the saviours in others lives and show them that God loves and cares for them. We preach the gospel of Jesus but no one preached it better than Jesus Himself who went about doing good and helping people get out of their problems and predicaments. The PLB is glad to announce to you that we're now in Partnership with www.theinnercitymission.ngo/donate . So, you can give financially to help people who've lost loved ones, properties, and means of income. www.theinnercitymission.ngo is a world renowned charity organisation under t...
