BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 17th OCTOBER 2024 GOD WILL REMEMBER YOU Genesis 8:1 But God remembered Noah and all the wild animals and the livestock that were with him in the ark, and he sent a wind over the earth, and the waters receded. (NIV) It was God who asked Noah to make an Ark and stay inside while the flood destroyed the wicked world of his day. After the flood the Bible says "And God remembered Noah." Did God forget Noah? Did He just realized that Noah and his family were inside the Ark?  Let us read the above scripture in THE MESSAGE translation. Genesis 8:1 Then God turned his attention to Noah and all the wild animals and farm animals with him on the ship. God caused the wind to blow and the floodwaters began to go down. The underground springs were shut off, the windows of Heaven closed and the rain quit. Inch by inch the water lowered. After 150 days the worst was over. (MSG) God turned His attention to Noah. It was about turning His at

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 16th OCTOBER 2024 HE THAT WINS SOULS IS WISE Proverbs 11:30 The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls is wise. (KJV) It's interesting that the Bible implies that wise people should win souls otherwise they are not wise. He that wins souls is wise; he that win no souls is not wise. Do you know why? Only a wise person do now what will benefit him later or sows now to harvest later. He who wins souls invest in the Kingdom of God. Soul winning is the only opportunity to directly involve in God's business. The salvation of souls is God's only business. Anyone who is born again and filled with the Holy Spirit should be wise enough to save souls. If you save souls with God today you are investing into your eternal future. If you understand the eternal destiny of man; his eternal destination which is everlasting life with God or everlasting condemnation with satan you would be challenged to win men

WISDOM FROM HEAVEN James 3:17 But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere. Earlier in the chapter we said there are mainly two kinds of wisdom; human wisdom and God's wisdom. Human wisdom is earthly wisdom. God's wisdom is heavenly wisdom.  Earthly wisdom is inspired by the standards and spirit of the world. While heavenly wisdom is inspired by the standards and Spirit of God. Heavenly wisdom is unveiled and unleashed into the heart of a man by the Holy Spirit.  1 Corinthians 2:10,13 these are the things God has revealed to us by his Spirit. The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God. This is what we speak, not in words taught us by human wisdom but in words taught by the Spirit, explaining spiritual realities with Spirit-taught words. Heavenly wisdom is spiritual realities. Speaking heavenly wisdom is speaking spiritual realities. Spiritual things ar

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 15th OCTOBER 2024 HE DELIGHTS IN YOUR PROSPERITY Psalms 35:27 Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favour my righteous cause: yea, let them say continually, Let the LORD be magnified, which hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant. (KJV) The Lord not only want you to prosper but also take pleasure and delight in your prosperity. He delights in your prosperity; it makes Him glad and it is pleasurable to him. He gladdens God's heart to see you move from one level of success to another. Progress, success, victory and prosperity in life is God's plan, desire and design for you, and it is something that delights Him.  There are people who are still not so sure whether or not God want them to be prosperous. Some erroneously believe prosperity will take them away from God. That's absurd! No good thing can become bad or result in bad when handled rightly. Prosperity is good and comes from God, all you need do is hand

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 14th OCTOBER 2024 WISDOM; KNOWLEDGE; UNDERSTANDING Proverbs 24:3-4 By wisdom a house is built, and through understanding it is established; through knowledge its rooms are filled with rare and beautiful treasures. Wisdom, knowledge and understanding are relatives. If one understand and rightly apply them would make his life beautiful.  God's Word is the ultimate wisdom. There are diverse ways people see wisdom. And there are many people who claim to be wise, but true wisdom is the word of God. Anyone who does not have the word of God in him is not wise. He might be wise in his own eyes and in the eyes of people but such wisdom won't cause him to do much relevant and lasting things.  Everyone's life is like a house under construction, and the only way to build one's life to last and endure the storms of life and still be a success is through the wisdom of God's Word. Psalms 127:1 Unless the LORD builds the house,

A TREE OF LIFE Proverbs 3:18 She is a tree of life to those who take hold of her; those who hold her fast will be blessed. Wisdom is a tree that gives life. To better understand this, let's imagine there is a tree that produces money as its fruit. You just go there and pluck money. In the same way, imagine a tree that literally gives life to people, place, thing and circumstance. If anything were dead that tree could bring it back to life. The Bible says wisdom is that tree of life.  Anything that gives life doesn't only give life but also sustains and nourishes. Wisdom gives life, sustains and nourishes.  TAKE HOLD OF WISDOM Proverbs 3:18 She is a tree of life to those who take hold of her; those who hold her fast will be blessed. Even though wisdom is a tree of life it is only to those who take hold of her. And those who hold her fast, who never let her go will be blessed. Take hold of wisdom and hold her fast, that's where the life and blessings are.  How do you take hol
