Wisdom is key!

 Luke  17:14 And when he saw them, he said unto them, Go shew yourselves unto the priests. And it came to pass, that, as they went, they were cleansed.  

17:15 And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, and with a loud voice glorified God, 

 17:19 And he said unto him, Arise, go thy way: thy faith hath made thee whole.


One part of the scriptures that has always ministered wisdom to me tremendously and the many blessings that could come as a result of a wise step is the scriptures above. It is a story usually used to refer to the Power of Thanksgiving, however, not many take on it for the power of wisdom it projects. The story takes deep from the encounter of the Ten lepers with Jesus, these lepers who had been outcasts as a result of their disease would once again find liberty through the ever tender mercies of God. However, the astounding part of this story is that Jesus ministered healing to the ten lepers, however, only one leper got the full package. Jesus, on meeting them had told them to go show themselves to the priests as it was customary in Israel that when a man was healed with leprosy, the priest was the one who certifies him clean to return to the society, so, on their way, when they saw themselves healed, one of them didn't bother continuing the journey to the priest, but rather turned back, and came to give Jesus thanks, and as a result of that He was made whole,i.e recovering all He lost as a result of the sickness, then Jesus told him to go his way, but one would rather say Jesus wasn't just in this story, wasn't He the one who told the lepers to go show themselves to the priest? Why didn't He allow them get to the priests first and then come back to thank Him? Why did He allow this one leper who turned back on his way to doing what Jesus had told them to do? One could put up this argument for the other 9 lepers because it was clear in Jesus' response that to God, the other 9 hadn't come to give thanks and weren't made whole. However, what Jesus expected them to know as they went healed was that the priest He was sending them to go meet was Himself, a heart of gratitude is towards the one who the help comes from, little wonder, it was a Samaritan who would grasp that understanding, and received the full healing package from God. This Samaritan had been preserved and promoted by wisdom.Wisdom made him know who deserved the true gratitude. Wisdom can make your package fuller than another who received the same thing as you. Wisdom is key! Do have a beautiful day ahead today❤️💯

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 ...
