FIND PLEASURE IN WHAT YOU DO

Ecclesiastes 3:22 So I saw that there is nothing better for a person than to enjoy their work, because that is their lot. For who can bring them to see what will happen after them? (NIV)

The above scripture tells us that there is nothing better for a person than to enjoy their work. God expects you to enjoy your work; to find pleasure and fulfilment in it.

God did not intend life for suffering. Suffering is man-made (intentionally or unintentionally). God did not design work to be man's source. Ephesians 4:28 Anyone who has been stealing must steal no longer, but must work, doing something useful with their own hands, THAT THEY MAY HAVE SOMETHING TO SHARE WITH THOSE IN NEED.
God intends that we work to meet the needs of others. It is in meeting the needs of others that our own needs are met. Our needs are met through the resulted blessings of helping others. There is a level of blessing we may never experience if we don't meet the needs of others. 

Do your work with pleasure and fulfilment not as a means to stay alive or make ends meet. 
You find a lot of people doing a job they shouldn't just to meet their needs in life. Not every work fits everyone, yet there are lot of people who are in jobs they didn't want to and don't even have passion for. 

The Bible says "there is nothing better for a person than to enjoy their work." Do work that you enjoy, enjoy what you do and be good at it. Do what your heart loves and find pleasure in it. 

PRAYER

Father thank You for the ability to work and to find pleasure and fulfilment in it. I work with my hands to help those in needs thereby fulfilling your word and bringing into fruition your unending supply, in Jesus' Name. Amen.

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...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 26th JUNE 2025 FIGHT TO FINISH Proverbs 24:16 for though the righteous fall seven times, they rise again, but the wicked stumble when calamity strikes. (NIV) It's only the fight that you fight till the end that you have a chance of winning. When boxers engaged in a competitive fight they don't win if they quit at the first or second round, and they don't lose if they were defeated in the first or second round. If you fell once or twice or even more you are not defeated if you are willing to continue the fight to the end. In the battles of life you must be ready to fight to finish.  A righteous person may fall many times but rises again. Falling is not a defeat if one is willing to rise up and fight to finish. We all have our fights, and it will continue until we depart this world.  Apostle Paul tells us to fight. He says "fight the good fight of the faith."  1 Timothy 6:12 Fight the good fight of the faith. Ta...

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...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 7th JUNE 2025 MOVE ON FROM THERE Genesis 26:22 He moved on from there and dug another well, and no one quarreled over it. He named it Rehoboth, saying, "Now the LORD has given us room and we will flourish in the land." (NIV) In life you have to learn to always move on. You have to learn how to move on from disappointment, failings, defeat, unfavorable circumstances and opposition. You will have to move on and move away from some oppositions and enemies. Not every time you give time to an enemy, not every fight you should fight. At times you move on and move away from the fight.  Isaac had oppositions regarding the wells his servants dug. His opposers quarreled with him about the wells. He could have fought them to retain the wells, after all it was his but he chose rather to move on from there. Genesis 26:19-21 Isaac’s servants dug in the valley and discovered a well of fresh water there. But the herders of Gerar quarrele...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 4th JULY 2025 GOD'S WORD IS GOD'S ESSENCE John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. (NIV) There are people who say we will find out about God when we get to heaven. But God's Word has already revealed everything He intends for us to know, and whatever else He want us to know in heaven will be revealed in heaven through His Word. God's Word is God's essence. Some wish they could see God and really express themselves to Him. If you were with God physically you would still relate with Him by His Word. Jesus' disciples walked the street with Him yet it was through the Word they knew Him and related with Him. The scriptures (the written word) is meant to direct us to the living Word. If you read the written word and not find the living Word and come to Him you have not read the written word. John 5:39-40 You study the Scriptures diligently because you think that in t...
