Understand the ground.

Galatians  6:7  Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.

I firmly believe in the seed-principle of life. Life is a ground we sow seeds, and any ground not producing the required/desired results from sowing should be changed. Jesus illustrated many of His teachings with the seed principle. Life is a ground where we sow seeds, and we must be sensitive enough to know the different grounds we are sowing on. I believe no one is ever short of seeds, however, there often times can be a wrong positioning of the sower. For instance, you can't be in a relationship you really aren't getting anything profitable from, life is about give and receive, the moment you find yourself in any relationship where you seem to be giving without receiving anything, then that's a wrong ground for sowing, your time is a seed, your emotions are a seed, your thoughts are seeds, whatever you give to make things work is a seed and when you sow, you definitely should reap. Now, there are times, it could take a while for you to reap the dividends of the seed principle in relationships, but you can tell at specific times if you're sowing on good or bad ground. The problem with many relationships and even marriages is a deficiency in the seed-principle. The same applies in businesses, you should recognise a business that's taking more from you than giving more to you, don't be caught in the web of "it'd get better" when its definitely a bad ground. No matter how much patience you have, a rocky ground will never produce fruits from your seeds. Be wise enough to understand the ground you've been operating on. Do have a great week ahead of you.

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 ...

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. ...
