DIVINE WORD MINISTRIES

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 31st JANUARY 2024 LIVE OUT THE TRUTH 1 John 1:6 If we claim to have fellowship with him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live out the truth. (NIV) The proof that we have fellowship with God is our walk in the truth. The fellowship referred here is more than mere fellowship but oneness with Him. If we claim we are in oneness with God who is Himself light and yet walk in darkness we lie and do not live out the truth.  What is the truth? Truth of our oneness with Him, that is, the reality of our oneness with Him. God expects us to live out the reality of our oneness with Him. One of such realities is divine health. Having come into oneness with God through His Spirit who lives in us we should live in divine health. Another reality is riches. Riches is of God, and in Christ we are blessed with unsearchable riches. He expects us to live out this truth.  When you came to Christ He made you His rightousness, that is, the ex

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 30th JANUARY 2024 ALL YOU REQUIRE Zechariah 4:6 So he said to me, "This is the word of the LORD to Zerubbabel: ’Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,’ says the LORD Almighty. (NIV) When Zerubbabel returned from exile along with some other Jews they began the rebuild of the temple. Zerubbabel was one of the leaders in the work of rebuilding God's temple. They had oppositions and difficulties in the course of the work.  God's word came to Zerubbabel through Zechariah the Prophet, Zechariah 4:9 "The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this temple; his hands will also complete it. Then you will know that the LORD Almighty has sent me to you. God was determined that Zerubbabel would complete the rebuilding of the temple. And all that Zerubbabel required was the Spirit of God. Zechariah 4:6 So he said to me, "This is the word of the LORD to Zerubbabel: ’Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 29th JANUARY 2024 ANGELS, AUTHORITIES AND POWERS IN SUBMISSION 1 Peter 3:22 who has gone into heaven and is at God’s right hand —with angels, authorities and powers in submission to him. (NIV) This above scripture refers to the Lord Jesus. Angels, authorities and powers are in submission to Him. This statement means that every ruler and position of authority in the kingdom of God and the kingdom of darkness are in submission to the Lord Jesus. And this truth is also true of you because you are seated with Him at the right hand of God. Colossians 3:1 Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Having been raised together with Him we also ascended with Him and are seated with Him at the right hand of God. Like Jesus, Angels, authorities and powers are in submission to us. A lot of Christians are not conscious of this fact.  Angels takes instruction

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 28th JANUARY 2024 STAND FIRM AND REMAIN STANDING 1 Corinthians 10:12 So, if you think you are standing firm, be careful that you don’t fall! (NIV) Having stood the test of time and standing firm in the faith, a lot still contend with the Christian. As a Christian standing firm is not just enough you must also remain standing. Things will always come up that will try to pull you down but you must maintain your stand. The walk of faith is not a week or two. It's a continuous walk through life. If you are standing firm today don't become complacent. Rather take heed, be alert and diligent to remain standing. It's not those who started well that wins but those who end well.  Anyone who stand tall in the faith or in any circle of life draws attention both positive and negative. Some people's primary aim is to bring him down. And one of the things that makes a person vulnerable is pride. Don't allow pride in your life

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 27th JANUARY 2024 A CHOSEN PEOPLE 1 Peter 2:9 But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light. (NIV) If you were among crowd of people and a very prominent public figure calls you out and choose you for something it means you stood out among others and that you are special, and have been given special assignment or responsibility.  The church is God's chosen and you are an integral part of it. God didn't choose the whole world even though He called the whole world. He chose the church. Is God partial in His choice? No! He sends out the Gospel, the Gospel calls out. Anyone who obeys the Gospel is chosen. And the Bible says the chosen are God's special people. 1 Peter 2:9 But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the p

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 26th JANUARY 2024 REJECTED BY HUMANS, CHOSEN BY GOD 1 Peter 2:4-5 As you come to him, the living Stone —rejected by humans but chosen by God and precious to him — you also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. (NIV) When the Lord Jesus came into this world in the appearance of a man, men rejected Him and eventually killed Him even though He loved them. He was rejected by humans but chosen and precious to God. The Bible says "you also, like living stones..." We are like Jesus the living Stone, rejected by humans but chosen by God. Men will loathe, disdain and reject you. But remember they rejected Jesus first. You cannot please a man, so don't try to. Those who are of God will recognize you and your message and honour you. But those who are not will always fight you.  Don't let your fight be a fight

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 25th JANUARY 2024 HE GIVES US MORE GRACE James 4:6 But he gives us more grace. That is why Scripture says: "God opposes the proud but shows favor to the humble." (NIV) The Christian Life is from grace, and it is lived by grace. Grace is God at work in and through a human person. Grace is visible. God gives us more grace. That is why Scripture says: "God opposes the proud but shows favor to the humble. The humble is one who obeys the word. Living in obedience to the Word of God is true humility. Humility is not weakness or stupidity. It is not allowing others to take your right, or even your responsibility. The Word of God gives you responsibilities. Carrying out those responsibilities is humility. One of your responsibilities is to preach the Gospel. As you carry out the responsibility of preaching the Gospel He gives you more grace. You have to note, that more grace is for those who are already doing something usefu

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 24th JANUARY 2024 YOU HAVE THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT Ephesians 1:19-20 and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is the same as the mighty strength he exerted when he raised Christ from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, (NIV) What Apostle Paul communicate here is very clear. He didn't mince words. God's incomparably great power is for us who believe. That same power with which He raised the Lord Jesus from the dead. If this is true, and of course it is, what then could ever be beyond you? Nothing is outside the jurisdiction of your power.  It is not humility for a Christian to say "I have no power, it is God alone who has power." That confession is contrary to the truth of the Gospel. The above scripture just told us that God has given us His incomparably great power. How could a Christian say I have no power? That's not humility. It is making God out to

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 23rd JANUARY 2024 DOING GOOD IS SACRIFICE Hebrews 13:16 And do not forget to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased. (NIV) Doing good is an act of sacrifice. Doing good means giving either your time, knowledge, resources, money or property. This means that whatever good you are doing actually takes from you. And at times it is not convenient for you yet you do it anyway. That is sacrifice. If we only want to do good to others when it is very convenient for us then we might never do good. We minister good to others not really because we have so much to spare but because we have the heart to and are willing, knowing fully well it is God's will.  In Hebrews 13:16 the Bible says "And do not forget to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased." It is faith that pleases God. Without faith it is impossible to please God. Doing good pleases God. Doing good is

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 22nd JANUARY 2024 NOT PLEASANT AT THE TIME Hebrews 12:11-12 No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it. Therefore, strengthen your feeble arms and weak knees. (NIV) The Bible says our hardship is discipline. Hebrews 12:7 Endure hardship as discipline; God is treating you as his children. For what children are not disciplined by their father? And that the hardships and troubles are momentary. 2 Corinthians 4:17 For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. These hardships which are discipline or training are not pleasant, but are necessary for upliftment and promotion to a higher level of glory and grace. It's amazing how God sees things and how the Word communicates them. At times we are faced with troubles and hardships, but God says they are discipline

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 21st JANUARY 2024 HE REWARDS Hebrews 11:6 And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him. (NIV) Doing the work of the Kingdom is a privilege, it's exciting and rewarding. Even though reward is not our actual motivation for doing God's work reward is honourable. God does reward. He is a rewarder. And He rewards faith. What God actually reward is faith. Our work in the Kingdom is actually a work of faith. Much more than the work accomplished is the faith which accomplished it. Every act of faith shall be rewarded. In an act of faith Peter and the other disciples left everything to follow Jesus. One time Peter said to the Lord "we have left everything to follow you." He was saying in essence "what are we going to gain for following you?"  Mark 10:28-30 Then Peter spoke up, "We have left every

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 20th JANUARY 2024 SPUR ONE ANOTHER ON Hebrews 10:24 And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, (NIV) Some people need extra motivation to love and do good even though they know fully well God instructs us to. You find some brethren in the church who are not active in demonstrating love and good deeds. But these are fruits of a Christian.  The Bible says in our theme scripture that we should consider how to spur one another on toward love and good deeds. How do we encourage ourselves to love and do good? First, it is by realising the love with which Jesus loves us, and emulate it. He loves us unconditionally. And He expect us to love others same way. Another important way to spur love and good deeds among ourselves is by practice. Do to others what you would have them do to you. Don't only expect love and good deeds from others also take action to be an expression of love and good deeds to oth

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 19th JANUARY 2024 WE ARE GOD'S HOUSE Hebrews 3:6 But Christ is faithful as the Son over God’s house. And we are his house, if indeed we hold firmly to our confidence and the hope in which we glory. (NIV) In the old testament times Moses built a tabernacle for the Lord. God Himself gave him the pattern for the building yet it was not His house but a place where His presence manifested. After God gave King David victory on every side. He said to build a house for the Lord. God told Him that his son Solomon would build it instead. King Solomon eventually built a magnificent house for the Lord. Yet the Bible says God doesn't live in houses made by human hands. Acts 7:47-48 But it was Solomon who built a house for him. "However, the Most High does not live in houses made by human hands. As the prophet says: The Bible says that Christ is faithful as the Son over God’s house. And we are His house. The Church (the body of Chri

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 18th JANUARY 2024 FIX YOUR THOUGHTS ON JESUS Hebrews 3:1 Therefore, holy brothers and sisters, who share in the heavenly calling, fix your thoughts on Jesus, whom we acknowledge as our apostle and high priest. (NIV) One of the reasons some Christians do not experience the presence of Jesus and the blessings of His Gospel is their thought pattern. The Word gives us a thinking pattern because only then can we experience the full blessings of the Gospel of Christ.  Part of our theme scripture says "...fix your thoughts on Jesus..." This is not a mere mental acknowledgement. But a fixed mental picture which stays on one's mind such that it influences or controls Him. This is what the Bible mean when it says fix your thoughts on Jesus. When your thoughts are fixed on Jesus it conditions your mind to give expression to the reality of your spirit. Your mind is the door to your spirit, and of course also from your spirit. Wha

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 17th JANUARY 2024 WE ARE HIS BROTHERS AND SISTERS Hebrews 2:11-12 Both the one who makes people holy and those who are made holy are of the same family. So Jesus is not ashamed to call them brothers and sisters. He says, "I will declare your name to my brothers and sisters; in the assembly I will sing your praises." (NIV) It is amazing how the Lord Jesus sees us. He says we are His brothers and sisters. Jesus made us holy, and we who are made holy are one with Him who made us holy. We are one family. This kind of family is not in the sense of unity, common purpose or agreement. It is a real family of brothers and sisters, where God Almighty is our Father. We are heavenly. 1 Corinthians 15:48 ...and as is the heavenly man, so also are those who are of heaven. We are of heaven because we belong to Christ the One of heaven. Our citizenship is in heaven. Our family lineage is in heaven -- yes we have a divine ancestry. Glory

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 16th JANUARY 2024 HE DELIGHTS IN YOUR WELL-BEING Psalms 35:27 May those who delight in my vindication shout for joy and gladness; may they always say, "The LORD be exalted, who delights in the well-being of his servant." (NIV) The Lord delights in the well-being of His servants. A servant of the Lord is one who bears, lives and shares God's word. He not only live by God's word He also preach and inspire others to do same. Every Christian is a servant of God though not every Christian is serving. God takes delight in the well-being of every human being, but has greater delight for His children, and a special delight for His children who serves. There is a special favour that accompanies everyone who preaches the Gospel. That favour exempt them from certain troubles, and provides them things in a unique way.  If you have been wondering why certain things hasn't been going your way examine your life of soul-winni

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 15th JANUARY 2024 APPOINTED UNTO HIS SERVICE 1 Timothy 1:12 I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has given me strength, that he considered me trustworthy, appointing me to his service. (NIV) One of our privileges in Christ is the call or appointment unto His service. We have been commissioned into the service of the Lord Jesus. That service is actually to serve the cause of the Gospel -- preaching the Gospel; reaching the unreached and bringing them into the salvation of our Lord Jesus.  Our service in the church is actually a training. Our main service is soul-winning. When the Lord commissioned us He told us to go into the world and make disciples. Matthew 28:19-20 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age." This above script

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 you, you fo

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 13th JANUARY 2024 CLOTHE YOURSELF WITH COMPASSION Colossians 3:12 Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. (NIV) The Bible instructs us to clothe ourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. In other words we should let these be evident in our lives. You can't say "I am clothed with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience." No! It's not by words. It's by action; it is what you minister to people. What the Bible actually mean by our opening verse is that we should express compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience towards others. All of these are virtues with which we bless our world. And they are spiritual substance or unction that is inherent in our recreated human spirits.  You have compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience in you, give vent to

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 12th JANUARY 2024 ALWAYS GIVE THANKS Ephesians 5:20 always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. (NIV) In the ordinary sense giving of thanks is mainly in appreciation for the good one received. But in our Kingdom there is a higher one; an expression of one's will and obedience to God's command to give thanks. Our opening verse Ephesians 5:20 says "always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ." This giving of thanks has nothing to do with the happenings, whether favourably or not. It is God's will for us to give thanks always and it is a command. It is an instruction we are mandated to carry out. It is one of those things we should practise daily. Giving thanks is actually praises to God.  Always give thanks. You don't have to look at the happenings. Yes, there is that kind of thanksgiving; thanking God for what

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 10th JANUARY 2024 LET THE GOD IN YOU COME OUT 1 John 4:4 You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world. (NIV) God is in you. The revelation of the Gospel of Jesus is that God lives in the new creation. Many Christians have accepted this to be true but not every Christian live in the light of it. The One in you is called the greater One, let Him live out through you.  You are not going to be victorious because you have physical strength, earthly wisdom, power, or anything else. You are not even going to be victorious just because the greater One lives in you but because you let Him live out through you. God is in you, let Him come out.  Every challenge or trouble is only a call to let out the God in you. When a Christian says he has God living in Him, challenges would surface to prove that confession. Creation and created things wants to see the man

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 9th JANUARY 2024 LEAVE THE PAST IN THE PAST Isaiah 43:18-19 "Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland. (NIV) Nothing weakens strength and resist going forward like holding on to the past. Your past is past; it's in the past. Holding on to it will draw you back. Leave the past in the past, it's a new day for you! When God wants to begin a new day with you; a new day means a new season He tells you to forget the past. Most of the time in the dealings of God one season is not an extension of another. So when He says "forget the previous season, look here I am doing a new thing." Fix your gaze on the new not the old. God always move on with His agenda, plan and calendar for our lives. When He is done with one He moves on to the next item on the list.  That's why i

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 8th JANUARY 2024 LET IT BE YOUR CONCERN Ephesians 2:11-12 Therefore, remember that formerly you who are Gentiles by birth and called "uncircumcised" by those who call themselves "the circumcision" (which is done in the body by human hands) — remember that at that time you were separate from Christ, excluded from citizenship in Israel and foreigners to the covenants of the promise, without hope and without God in the world. (NIV) This above scripture refers to the condition or state of the Gentiles (non-Jews) before they received the Gospel of Jesus and got born again. And actually by extension to everyone who is not born again. He said "...remember that at that time you were separate from Christ, excluded from citizenship in Israel and foreigners to the covenants of the promise, without hope and without God in the world." Think about that for a moment! How could anyone live without hope and without God

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 7th JANUARY 2024 THE FULLNESS OF HIM Ephesians 1:22-23 And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church, which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way. (NIV) The Lord Jesus cannot do anything on earth without the church. The above verse calls the church, "the fullness of him who fills everything in every way." This means the completeness of Him who fills everything in every way. It is through the Church that Jesus fills and dominate everything in every way in the earth. That's why it is important that the church knows who she is and function accordingly. Until and unless the church walk in the reality of her inseparable oneness with the Lord she cannot fully realise the scope of her calling nor fulfill it. The Church is the body of Jesus Christ. This means the extension of the Lord Jesus on earth. Through the church He is prolonging His day

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 6th JANUARY 2024 THE ANGEL OF HIS PRESENCE Exodus 23:20-21 "See, I am sending an angel ahead of you to guard you along the way and to bring you to the place I have prepared. Pay attention to him and listen to what he says. Do not rebel against him; he will not forgive your rebellion, since my Name is in him. (NIV) When the Israelites left Egypt on a journey to the promised land. God told them that He was sending an Angel ahead of them to guard and bring them into the place He prepared for them. Their successful journey to the promised land was dependent on their obedient to the Angel. For God said to them "Pay attention to him and listen to what he says." That Angel is the Angel of His presence, the Holy Spirit. Isaiah 63:9-10 In all their distress he too was distressed, and the angel of his presence saved them. In his love and mercy he redeemed them; he lifted them up and carried them all the days of old. Yet they r

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 5th JANUARY 2024 BY WISDOM A HOUSE IS BUILT 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. (NIV) In yesterday's devotional we learnt that spoken words are tools with which we build our life (house). Today's opening verse says that by wisdom a house is built. The house refers here is one's life. By wisdom one's life is built. How the building or structure of your life turns out depends on your application of wisdom. Gods Word acted upon is wisdom. Though the written word or revealed word of God is wisdom, it cannot change anyone's life until one act on it. That's why you find people who knows the Scriptures but the impact doesn't show in their lives. Knowing the word is Sophia (greek), understanding or comprehending the word is Sunesis (greek), and acting upon it is Phronesis (greek). It is

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 4th JANUARY 2024 WORDS ARE TOOLS Hebrews 11:3 By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible. (NKJV) If the worlds were framed by the word of God, and of course it was. If things which are seen were made through the word of God, and of course it was. Then the word is a tool. The worlds (course of life, ages and visible things) were framed through the spoken word of God. God's spoken word is a tool. By it He framed and shaped the physical and spiritual existence. And it is the most power tool in all existence. And your mouth can bring it forth.  Just like God your words are tools. God gave you this tool to frame and shape your worlds and the circumstances of your life.  A house builder has tools with which he builds, without wish he cannot no matter how skillful or learned he might be. He has variety of tools for different work on

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 3rd JANUARY 2024 YOUR WORDS ARE PROPERTIES Matthew 12:36-37 But I tell you that everyone will have to give account on the day of judgment for every empty word they have spoken. For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned." (NIV) Your words are tangible living things in the spirit-realm which are exactly what you said. Whenever you speak you bring forth tangible living things in the spirit. These words are properties associated with you in the spirit. Every word you speak carries your label or identity. In the spirit realm we don't get confused saying 'whose word is this?' Every word clearly display the name or identity of the speaker. If you had a dog or other pet, and it went out to destroy something, the owner would hold you responsible. Because the dog or pet is yours. The same is true of your word. Your word is your property. Your word can either destroy or build, make or ma

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 2n JANUARY 2024 SPREAD OUT Isaiah 54:2-3 "Enlarge the place of your tent, stretch your tent curtains wide, do not hold back; lengthen your cords, strengthen your stakes. For you will spread out to the right and to the left; your descendants will dispossess nations and settle in their desolate cities. (NIV) When God want to do beyond your dream He shows you His own dream first. If you were not able to apprehend His vision He couldn't fulfill it with you. What He does is to first broaden your vision. In this above scripture He tells you what to do to broaden the scope of your vision.  He says to you in Isaiah 54:2, "Enlarge the place of your tent, stretch your tent curtains wide, do not hold back; lengthen your cords, strengthen your stakes."  That means enlarge whatever you are involved with, think and see bigger. Because what He is about to do with you is big. What is coming your way this year is so big that it w

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS Happy new year! A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 1st JANUARY 2024 HE PREPARES A TABLE BEFORE YOU Psalms 23:5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. (NIV) God does make plans for you. And also inspire and lead you in those plans through His word. Whatever might be ahead of you He has plans to make you a success. And whatever opposition or enemy that might be ahead He has already ordained and announced your victory. He has prepared a table before you in the presence of your enemies.  Make up your mind to be victorious and successful this year because God has set up a table of celebration for you in spite of the enemies. You don't have to worry about what the enemy might do, but your attention should be on the Lord, His plan and the table He has set before you. When God sets a table it is because there is something to celebrate. This year you shall have a lot to celebrate. Only give attention to
