Be accommodating.

 Hebrews  13:2  "Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares."

Some people are often clouded with the habit of being nice to just who they know, some even say "the devil you know is better than the angel you don't know", even if it's used in a figurative context, it's still ironically hilarious😅, the very fact he's been declared 'the devil' makes him worse than 'the angel' you don't know already. The scripture above gives God's perfect mindset to our daily relationship with the outside world. It says 'BE NOT FORGETFUL to ENTERTAIN STRANGERS', it then says for some have entertained ANGELS UNAWARES. Did you see that?, the Bible shows that the 'Angel' you do not know would always be better than the 'devil' you know. As a Person who walks in God's stead, you must be nice to everyone, you must entertain strangers, 'entertain strangers' doesn't mean to naively call everyone into your house to entertain or allow every Tom,Dick and Harry into your house. 'Entertain' here means to be receptiveness. Do not be someone whose always cold to people by default. Always wear a smile on your face as you approach people or you are approached. You know some people are so cold to Jehovah's witness folks just because they feel they are some sort of 'disturbance' most often than not. But, as a person, I have always welcomed Jehovah's witness folks with such embrace always even if we have different views. I even made friends out of some in the long run. Love knows no belief, or ideology. As a person of God, you must be nice & easily receptive. More so, there's a seeming perspective of believing everyone who walks up to you wants to beg for money, don't be that way, give people a listening hear, don't be a snub by default, Jesus never exhibited such. Do have a great day ahead.😅.

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. ...

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...
