PRECIOUS AND HONORED IN HIS SIGHT


Isaiah 43:4 Since you are precious and honored in my sight, and because I love you, I will give people in exchange for you, nations in exchange for your life. (NIV)


Every Christian is precious and honored in the sight of God as an individual. You are precious and honored in His sight. He looks at you and esteems you as though you were the only one in this world.


People may not deem you important to them. They may not honor you but it doesn't matter since you are precious to God and honored in His sight. People fight to gain honor from men but God chose to honor you without you struggling or bargaining for it.


Some people look down on themselves because others do not esteem them as something. They value themselves in the light in which people honor them. You don't need the honor or praise of men, God honors you, that's the highest. You are important to God, you are precious to Him. You are the one Jesus died for.


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.


Apostle Peter gave this above submission. God chose you and made you a royal priesthood and a holy nation as His special possession. You are His special, unique and treasured possession. And He has defined a purpose for you: that you may declare the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His wonderful light.


You job now is to declare, reveal and make known His deeds, praises and marvelous works. For you are precious and honored in His sight. Hallelujah!


CONFESSION


God loves me. I am precious and honored in His sight. He gives people in exchange for me; nations in exchange for my life. I am His chosen one, His royal priest, holy nation and treasured possession. I declare and make known His marvelous works. 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...
