The God-Psychology

 Romans  12:2 "And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God."

Back in Secondary School, I once overheard my then C.R.S(Christian Religious Studies) teacher tell another teacher with disgust Pastor Chris Oyakhilome was preaching "Psychology",  that statement stuck in my mind over the Years, it even made me curious to know who Pastor Chris was then,I didn't know so much about God, but many years down the line I look back and wonder how many people have wrongly understood God's word. The scriptures though spiritual are also psychological. The above scriptural context alludes to this, a man who doesn't have his psychology changed after being born again might not experience the blessings that come with the package of salvation, "the Bible says as a Man thinks so is he", the word of God has its own Psychology, its mental structure, the spiritual angle is settled, but you've got to work on the psychological angle yourself. He says " Be renewed in the spirit of your mind"(Eph4:23). You must begin to process God's word in your mind after salvation, do not conform to the items of the world, replace them with the thoughts of the word, change your psychology, that's the beginning of the experiential knowledge of the benefits of salvation. Its a great day ahead for you friend!

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. ...

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 ...
