365 opportunities!

 Psalms  90:12 So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.


 The beauty of a new year is the opportunity it brings for a "fresh start", otherwise ,it would just be another normal number of days. Someone posted a message on his timeline " Happy new year, I wish you good use of the 365 opportunities this year affords us", and I thought that's true, a wise man would see a new year as a fresh start for many opportunities. I love the scripture above, it's a Psalm of Moses when the Israelites had left Egypt, I'm pretty sure the Israelites would have had a lot of time to themselves in the wilderness, not being enslaved in Egypt anymore or working under the brutal whip of the Egyptian taskmasters, they definitely might not have had anything important to do with their time, out of this idleness, Moses says to God "...teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts to wisdom" . Just look at that, Moses prays to God to teach them how to make use of their time, the term "number our days" is an accounting term, it means "plan our time", so Moses was saying "... teach us to plan our time". One of the greatest mistake you can make is making bad use of your time. Time wasted cannot be gotten back. It's a new year, a year with 365 days and 365 opportunities. Make great use of the opportunities in this year. Wishing you a Happy Sunday. 🙋🏻‍

The Noble

Who is a noble person? Through Scripture references and inferences we'll embark on a journey that seeks to define and show us who God deems to be a noble person and why being one is an absolute no brainer, especially in this present noble-starved age. Pls note- the opinions presented in this article are derivations from the Scriptures and not a carnal fabrication or mere mental or cultural estimation of the author. You can look em up yourself to confirm the assertions and/or suggestions. The term noble/nobleman appears 40 times in the King James version of the Bible but it was first used in Exodus24:11 to describe certain "elders" who were to work alongside Moses in leading, guiding and directing the people of Israel according to the desires of God. Point to note is they were "leaders" and men of high repute often in the classification of princes and rulers over other people. So, if you're over anyone in leadership you're actually a noble save t...

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 Stories presents: David- How Big is Your Stomach 2?

The PLB stories are a blend of God-inspired Bible stories, revelations and fiction (literature license). So seat back, relax, cappuccino and read away! David had a flash back of his early music days... The only thing or person If you may, David loved more than his music was the one who gave him the music- Yahweh. As a result David sang and played more about God and His revelations in his heart than he did anything else, like literally nothing came close... He didn't have affection for too many things- and the Lord was the all in all of his affections. He was often left alone with his father's sheep as his brothers hurried to the parade ground to join in the army processions. He loved the solitude, the gentle breeze and the sunset evenings, music came so naturally to him at such times, he never stressed his mind to compose great music but on such cool evenings it was even easier. He would compose and sing all evening till it was time to feed the sheep and then he would ...
