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...

"I LOVE LIFE!"

1 Peter 3:10-11 For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile: Let him eschew evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and ensue it. Don't you just love the phrase "love life"? You see, I love to wake up in the morning and go to bed at night saying words like "I love life!" I love to enjoy my days, I love to look back at the day, week, month, year etc and say "mahn I love my life!" In short, I love to enjoy life to its fullest! I love to love life! This mentality has always been with me. When I made the decision in 2008 to live for Christ, I remember praying one of days and saying to God, "Lord, you know I love fun, I'm fun personified, please this journey of faith has got to be really fun!" You see I didn't know then that God was the King of enjoyment and fun! Jesus said in John 10:10(Amplified translation), The thief comes only in order to steal and kill ...

One Man Can Change The World 🌍!

A Tribute to Pastor Chris Oyakhilome As we study the Bible, we see lots and lots of great men and women who God used at some point in history to change and order the course of the world according to His divine purpose. These men and women were seen as foolish by a large section of the world they lived in for daring to believe the impossible. Some were even grossly persecuted and badly framed but to these ones it was only a test of their resolve in what their God had said to them. Enoch, Noah, Abraham, Jacob, Joseph, Moses, Job, David, Daniel, the Prophets Isaiah, Jeremiah, the Apostles and of course Jesus just to name a few. These individuals were all God needed over the course of several centuries to carry out His master plan for the world at separate times and eras. Interestingly, out of the many millions of people who lived in the world at the time, only a handful of people in their generations dared to step out in faith into the unknown and undared. We have such people ...

The Person of Jesus 2 (John 4)

...Continued from "The Person of Jesus" Think about Jesus, He once met a woman (Let's call her Lucy). Lucy was the crazy chic of the town, she was popular for being a love peddler. Every man she'd been with played her and no one wanted to marry her. It would be a shame to parade her as wife... She'd been with way too many men. But Lucy was growing old and had become too used to the company of a man-lover and the lifestyle of a wife. Though she wasn't anyone's wife, she couldn't live without having a man in her life and as result she fell into more heart troubles and made terrible relationship choices. She was confused, had shame written all over her till she just didn't care what anyone thought about her anymore, "it's my life" and "I don't care" were two of her most common statements. She recently began cohabiting with a new guy she met not long ago, they were cool but she knew he wasn't ready to wife her. Men are...

PLB Editorial- The Person of Jesus

History does record that Jesus as revealed in the Bible actually did exist. It shocks me to hear some grown up people thinking that Jesus was all a work of fiction. Some even think that the whole of the Bible is just a bunch of nursery school stories. I wish they did some research in secular human history to find out that all these personalities in the Bible like Abraham, Moses, David, the prophets along with all the events that happened with them were all one hundred percent actual and factual. Jesus was real, and is still real. The miracles He performed actually happened- even other "faiths" acknowledge this. He is not a fictional piece of some brilliant story teller. He is real and everything the Bible says of Him is incredibly true and the Bible claims that He did even much more miracles than could ever be recorded. Beyond His power is His person. He is God in a body, wisdom in a body, love in a body, glory personified. I get amazed every time I read the Gospels (Mat...

Pray for Kings, authorities and influencers.

1 Timothy 2:1-2 I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, [and] giving of thanks, be made for all men; For kings, and [for] all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. As Christians we're not asked to join the majority of people in complaining about everything in our countries, church, jobs, social groups etc. Instead we're enjoined to solve problems and answer questions. We live in a world that's governed by spiritual forces unobserved by our physical senses. These forces (both good and bad) are constantly contesting for influence and the "seat of power" so as to direct the aeons, lifestyles or destinies of the people. As a result, no matter how "good", qualified, or skilled a leader may be, he/she just might get overwhelmed with the responsibility placed on them if the force of good is not winning out against the negative forces. Who's gonna help i...
