HE WILL MAKE A WAY

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)

There is a wilderness in the path through life. Wilderness is that time or path in life when things seems not going your way. It's that time when people, events and circumstances seems to be working against you. It's a season of drought even when you are doing much. Passing through wilderness is not as a result of sin, it is a way that leads to the promised land. 

There is a promised land for everyone here on earth. It could be achieving your dreams, getting married, success in ministry, coming into your place of riches and abundance. There is a juncture in wilderness where it seems there is no way ahead. Maybe you have been there or there right now. A time when you don't know exactly what to do or where to go. But God says "I will make a way in the wilderness and streams in the waste land." 

There is a way of progress for you. God will make a way; a way for your finance, ministry, business, marriage and whatever. And He says to you "See, I am doing a new thing!" Again He says to you "Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past."

If you hold on to the past you may not see and enter into the future God is leading you into. If you keep the former things in mind you may not be able to see and apprehend the new things God is doing in your life; the way He is making for you in the wilderness. 

Irrespective where you are at in your journey of life, however tedious and tough it is, God is making a way of success, progress and fulfillment for you. Keep your eyes on Him.

CONFESSION

I refuse to hold on to my past or dwell on the former things. For God is doing a new thing in my life. He is making a way for me through the wilderness and challenges. Therefore I look with hope and take hold of all the Lord is doing for me, in Jesus' Name. Amen.

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 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.  When th

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 you, you fo

THE POWER OF LOVE chapter 1 episode 3

 Chapter 1 Episode 3 HIS LOVE IS RELIABLE He has proven His love over and over again. It's a tasted and proven love. It is something that we can rely on. It can't fail because it is an expression of His nature. 1 John 4:16 And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them. It is important that we know; get acquainted with the love God has for us so that we can completely rely on it. The more we get acquainted the more confidence we have towards His love. We can trust His love and care. We can be rest assured of them. He is reliable. AS HE IS SO ARE WE 1 John 4:16-17 And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him. Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world. This is remarkable and mind blowing but it's the truth. The scripture says dwelling in
