LET HIM BUILD

Psalms 127:1 Unless the LORD builds the house, the builders labor in vain. Unless the LORD watches over the city, the guards stand watch in vain. (NIV)

Life belongs to God. He made us and put us here to live for Him. We can only truly live if we let Him guide us. Many times we suffer needless pains, disappointment and failures because we try to do things our way. 

Success is God's idea. True success comes only from Him. We all wants to be very successful in our endeavors, God wants us to succeed too. But we must allow Him to lead us on the path of success that is truly success. Every success is not success. What the world call success is not what God calls success. Unless your success is within the parameters of God's definition of success is a failure. 

The scriptures says unless God builds we build in vain. Unless He watches we watch in vain. Let Him build your marriage, business, education, career and whatever else. Some people pursue a career at the expense of their marriage. And some build their marriage at the expense of their business. But when God builds He builds all with balance; none is a success at the expense of the other. 

The Lord Jesus said I will build my church. Your life and everything that has to do with you is a part of that church. Let Him build. You are God's idea; He is the Architect of your life. 
Matthew 16:18 And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it.

If you build your life by yourself the gates of hades will overcome it. If you build your home by yourself the gates of hades will overcome it. But if you allow Him to build the gates of hell cannot overcome it. 
When the Lord called the disciples, He said "follow me and I will make you..." He didn't say follow me and make yourself. Or follow me and become. Don't try to become, allow Him to make you. 
Matthew 4:19 And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.

PRAYER

Precious Lord Jesus I yield my life and all that has to do with me to you over again. I recognize that unless You build my life I build in vain, unless you watch over me I watch in vain. Therefore Lord take over the rein of my life; lead me, build me, make me, and watch over me. Amen!

THE WONDERS OF WISDOM chapter 1 episode 1

THE BEGINNING OF WISDOM Wisdom will begin to work in and through you and produce results when you fear the Lord. Yes wisdom begin with the fear of the Lord. If you find a person who is not wise in the ways of God you find a person who has no fear of the Lord. Psalms 14:1 The fool says in his heart, "There is no God." They are corrupt, their deeds are vile; there is no one who does good. He says there is no God. He doesn't acknowledge God nor have regard for or fear of Him. Consequently he became corrupt, his deeds are vile, he does no good. Because he has no fear of the Lord. It takes the fear of the Lord to walk in the ways of the Lord. Psalms 14:2-3 The LORD looks down from heaven on all mankind to see if there are any who understand, any who seek God. All have turned away, all have become corrupt; there is no one who does good, not even one. It takes the fear of the Lord to do good. It takes the fear of the Lord to understand and seek God. If you find people who do not...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 9th MARCH 2024 BE POWER CONSCIOUS 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) As a Christian you are not without power. If you are not walking in power it might be that you don't know you have power or you don't understand the power or you are not conscious of it. The above Scripture is clear on what it says. It says that God's incomparably great power is for us who believe. And it emphasize that it is the same power God used to raise Christ from the dead. That's interesting! It's important that you understand the power referred here and what it means to you. God's power is not in measure. In other words God doesn't have small and great. The same power with which He created the world is the same that parted the red sea, by i...

DAUGHTER OF JEZEBEL Chapter 2 Episode 2

EPISODE 2 WOLF IN SHEEP SKIN She is the pretender that cannot be caught easily. The daughter of Jezebel is very gentle and appears innocent. She is calm and quiet, and seems submissive. She obeys you and does everything you ask her, she always wants to help. With these she easily win the heart of the man of God.  She is that fellow that springs surprises.  She is very committed and prayerful but if you take her to be your wife you would be amazed that she oppose praying. You say dear "come let's pray together." Then she replies "I am not ready for that at all."   Before now she used to pray alot in church, she was the prayer director. She sings like an Angel but now you never heard her pray or sing at home. Since you got married to her she has been a totally different person from who you know at church. In fact she is the opposite of who you knew her to be. All the good behavior she put up before now and her services at church was only sheep skin on wolf nature....

THE WONDERS OF WISDOM Chapter 12 Episode 1

WISDOM KEEPS YOU FROM ADULTERY Nothing destroys a man or woman than sexual immorality, and more so adultery. But if you heed to wisdom it will keep you from this. As we have a wayward woman so we have a wayward man. One who leaves their partner to go after another. There is no justifiable reason for it. Don't be an adulterous woman or adulterous man.  As a woman avoid married men if you don't want to destroy your own soul. The easiest way for anyone to start his or her hell on earth is to be an adulterous person or have an affair with a married person. Why love another man's wife? Why love another woman's husband? Why? Avoid this, spare yourself doom. If you would heed wisdom it will save you from the adulterous woman or man. Proverbs 2:16-19 Wisdom will save you also from the adulterous woman, from the wayward woman with her seductive words, who has left the partner of her youth and ignored the covenant she made before God. Surely her house leads down to death and her ...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 17th AUGUST 2024 HE SATISFIES YOU EARLY Psalms 90:14 Oh, satisfy us early with Your mercy, That we may rejoice and be glad all our days! (NKJV) God want you to be established early in life. He doesn't want you behind time or destiny. He takes pleasure when you are ahead not behind in life. He satisfies you early, that means, He makes you success early in life.  There are people who became what God wanted them when they were old. Even though they became it they couldn't do much nor enjoy their days as much as they should.  The resultant effect when He satisfies us early, Moses said "That we may rejoice and be glad all our days!"  God want us to rejoice and be glad all our days. He doesn't want us gloom, sad and unsatisfied through life. You won't be truly joyful and glad when you know what you should be that you haven't.  We know joy is of the Holy Spirit and it is independent of circumstances. But ther...
