TAKE A STEP TO GREATNESS Chapter 6 Episode 3

EPISODE 3

GOD’S BLESSING

Isaac planted crop in that land and the same year reaped a hundred fold, because the Lord blessed him. The man became rich and his wealth continued to grow until he became very wealthy.  Genesis 26:12-13

A man who lacks the favour and blessing of God labours all his life without achieving anything. A man may use his knowledge, experience, strength and certificate, yet if he lacks the blessing of God he would labour in vain. What you need to succeed is the favour and blessing of God. God says "...not by power nor by might but by my Spirit,... -- Zachariah 4:6.

The Bible says "by strength shall no man prevail." If God does not build the builder builds in vain. The blessing of God makes a man rich and adds no sorrow to it. You need to receive the blessing and favour of God for your life.

God’s favour and blessing always sets a man apart, it shows the difference, and you won’t have to suffer and labour for everything. When people are rejected, you are accepted; you don’t fall and fail where men failed.

I planted the seed, Apollo watered it, but God made it grow so that neither he who planted nor he who watered is anything but only God, who makes things grow. 1 Corinthians 3:6-7.

Do not rely on your own strength and strategies, commit your plans to God and trust in Him completely. The one who sows don’t really know what happens in the soil; how God made it to grow. Just as God grows the baby in the mother’s womb without the understanding of the mother, so He grows the seed you sow without your understanding, so rely on God. Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. Proverbs 3:5

Prayer:  Father in Heaven! Grow my destiny to maturity. In Jesus' Name. Amen.  


THE ENEMY’S SEED 

But while everyone was sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat and went away. When the wheat sprouted and formed ears then the weeds also appeared.  Mathew 13:25-26.

Neglecting the powers of darkness is like pretending that the devil doesn't exist. The enemy works 24 hours of everyday even when you are asleep, they don’t sleep. A man planted his vineyard and went to sleep but the enemy simply came and planted weeds and thorns in his vineyard.

Jesus said beware of the yeast of the Pharisees, be watchful, which means be prayerful. When you sow your seed and fall asleep your enemy will simply come and sow seeds of failure among your seeds. You wouldn't be prayerless if you really want to succeed in life. Spend time in prayers, especially praying in tongues; praying on the seed you have sown. Don’t be spiritually lazy but fight the good fight of faith.

There may be an evil seed in your life, family, business, marriage or destiny sown by the devil which you are not aware of, it is time you discover and burn them off.

Prayer:  Dear Lord Jesus I release your consuming fire to burn every evil seeds sown in my life and family in Jesus' name. Amen.

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 23rd DECEMBER 2023 REJOICE IN THE LORD ALWAYS Philippians 4:4 Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! (NIV) The Apostle Paul writing to the Church in Philippi, said they should rejoice in the Lord always. He didn't say they should rejoice in themselves but in the Lord. That calls for spiritual insight.  It takes spiritual insight to see what we got in the Lord and rejoice. When you are ask to rejoice over something it means that it holds significance and value. No nobody would ask you to rejoice over something that's not to your advantage. We have everything to our advantage in Christ, and it is our responsibility to recognize them and rejoice.  Looking at your physical environment and, maybe the circumstances of your life you might have reasons to feel bad and dejected. But looking in the Lord and who you are in Him, you would find not only the glorious you but also answers to all your questions.  W...

THE DAUGHTER OF JEZEBEL introduction

CONTENTS AND INTRODUCTION CONTENTS Chapter One -- CHARACTERS OF JEZEBEL Chapter Two -- THE DAUGHTER OF JEZEBEL Chapter Three -- HER MISSION Chapter Four -- IF SHE BECOMES YOUR WIFE Chapter Five -- A FALSE PROPHET INTRODUCTION In humility I write this book to the Man of God not to be unaware of the devices of the devil. 2 Corinthians 2:11 in order that Satan might not outwit us. For we are not unaware of his schemes. I write to remind the Man of God that one of the schemes of Satan against the servant of God is "The Daughter of Jezebel." Before talking about the Daughter of Jezebel, who is Jezebel?  THE JEZEBEL IN THE BIBLE Jezebel was the daughter of Ethbaal King of Sidon. Ahab the King of Israel married her which of course was against the Lord's instruction to Israel not to marry among the nations around them. She was mainly responsible for all the evil Ahab King of Israel committed in the sight of God. She killed many of the Lord's Prophets in Israel. She was a swor...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 14th JANUARY 2024 FORGIVE AS THE LORD FORGAVE YOU Colossians 3:13-14 Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity. (NIV) We should not have offense we cannot forgive. But at times we find ourselves in a situation where forgiveness seems difficult. If we apply our emotions and how hurt we are, it will be difficult to forgive. But if we consider how God forgave us then forgiving others would be easy.  There are things to note in our opening scripture; Bear with each other; forgive one another; grievance against someone; forgive as the Lord forgave you; put on love.  To bear with someone means to tolerate. If we cannot tolerate we cannot forgive. Then it says forgive one another; this means that we talk our differences over and forgive each other -- I forgive yo...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS

 BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 13th OCTOBER 2023 YOU ARE THE SEED OF ABRAHAM Galatians 3:16,29 The promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed. Scripture does not say "and to seeds," meaning many people, but "and to your seed," meaning one person, who is Christ. ...If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.(NIV) We are not Abraham's seeds but Abraham's seed. Abraham has one spiritual seed and that seed is Christ. If you are in Christ you are the seed of Abraham. All the blessings and promises God gave to Abraham are actually fulfilled in you. The promise of blessing God made to Abraham was of two sides; physical and spiritual.  Genesis 13:15 For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed for ever.  Abraham and his physical seed did enjoy the physical side of the blessing. But the spiritual side was reserved for the spiritual seed; those in Christ. The spir...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS

 BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 16th OCTOBER 2023 INCREASE IN GRACE AND PEACE 2 Peter 1:2 Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord,(NIV) God has given everyone of us Grace and Peace in Christ. But how much of them we enjoy depends on our knowledge of God and Jesus our Lord. Knowledge here refers to intimate knowledge which comes through relationship. The level of Grace and Peace we enjoy is directly connected to our relationship and fellowship with God. The deeper your relationship with Him the greater your peace and grace.  If you find yourself wanting peace or grace what you need is not prayer but a meditation on the Word and how it relates with you. You can choose to increase the Grace and Peace of God in your life by increasing your knowledge of, relationship and fellowship with God. The scripture says Grace and Peace can be multiplied unto you through your knowledge of God and of Jesus Christ our Lo...
