Man is a Spirit that has a Soul and leaves in a Body (1Thessalonians 5.53). Jesus, in human form, grew on not one, but all three parts that makes up a man. Following His lead, we must be deliberate about growing our Body, our Soul/Intellect and our Spirit. To grow your body, Treat your body …

PLFTLJ00 – Practical Lessons From The Life of Jesus
Jesus is the reason for the season. Yes I know it’s not Christmas yet (but it’s almost :- ) ).He is not only reason for the yuletide season but also for all seasons of the life of a Christian.
He’s given a word for every season that has been and will ever be. For all season whether great or otherwise, He says “Men ought to ALWAYS Pray and not lose heart”, “In everything give thanks”, “Rejoice in the Lord Always”, to mention a few. In the season of trials, He says “Count it all Joy”, for He himself went through seasons of trials.
He’s walked where we walk, He’s felt what we feel, and knows what it entails/is required to live life in accordance to God’s will and great pleasure; so, learning from His time of being in our form by looking deeply in the account of His Life as recorded in the Bible is a sure way of knowing how to model our lives after His. That’s the origin of this series tagged Practical Lessons From the Life of Jesus.
Jesus’s birth, His name and purpose was heralded by prophets of God as well as by an Angel in the Bible. Like Him, we were also ordained alongside our purpose even before we were conceived, Jeremiah 1.5 testifies. No doubt about it, He is a perfect example.

Kingdom Investment – Time

Shortcut Vs Long Route III
Considering a couple of experiences that I’ve had with taking shortcuts to either avoid traffic or get to a destination on time, I would say that normal routes which are mostly longer than shortcuts or alternative routes, end up being better and even faster sometimes. How many times on your way going through a shortcut …
Shortcut Vs Long Route II
It’s interesting to note that the children of Israel actually left Egypt armed. Verse 17b – 18 in the Amplified Version reads - “The people might change their minds when they see war [that is, that there will be war], and return to Egypt.” 18 But God led the people around by the way of the wilderness …
