Unquestionable standing

 Romans  4:8 Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin.

The scripture above is a part of Paul's explanation on the concept of "Righteousness", prior to this, He(Paul) had established how Abraham had received right standing with God through faith in God, Abraham would be called by God, and he believing in God, responded without doubting, and then it was accounted by God to him for righteousness. Now then Paul goes to the next part after establishing Abraham's righteousness, using Abraham still as an example, He says " blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin".The concept of this sentence is actually very powerful, the English word "impute" used in this sentence is translated from the Greek word "logizomai" , it's an accounting word, it's a word used in the Greek lexicon when account and records are to be taken about something. Now, "logizomai"  means not to account or record something as though the original record never showed it. For example, when you delete a file from your computer, it goes to the recycle bin, now the file is deleted from your computer, but for one reason or the other, it can be conjured up again if you needed it, until you delete it from the recycle bin, it's not totally gone, at the same time, if the effects of the deleted file are not connected to any part of the files in your computer,it might be hard to trace if that file was on your computer in the first place. " logizomai" means deleting a record from an account as though it were not there in the first place, this is actually remarkable, it's a term that's consciously used everywhere it appears in the Bible to denote the mind of God concerning sin. Blessed is the man whom the Lord will impute no sin, if you believe in God as Abraham did, without any reason or doubt, He says the Lord will take it as though you never did any wrong, meaning your faith in God gives you an unquestionable right standing before Him. Amazing, we'll talk more about the details on this some other time. Friend, your faith in God gives you an unquestionable right standing with and before God. Do have a blessed Sunday.

Priority information

  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...

Peace, Soundness of Mind

  2 Timothy  1:7 "For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. " I'm a firm believer that one of the most vital if not the most vital aspect of the human health is the mental health. Its so important to have a mind that's put together. A lot of times, there are challenges that come our way which test our mental capacity and strength, some times they are quite overwhelming, making it seem like we just need to go somewhere solitary to have a "cool off", however the scriptures promises something quite lovely. God says to those who accept Him in their lives, He has given "... a sound mind" , the phrase "sound mind" is translated from the Greek word "Sophronismos", which means " a mental state well balanced with accurate judgement". This is the kind of mind you have in Christ. A mind configured to make accurate and sound judgement, a mind that's in the rest of God. Most i...

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...
