HIS WILL NOT TROUBLE-FREE

1 Thessalonians 5:18 give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. (NIV)

When you follow God's will as revealed in the scripture or heard His voice directly asking you to do something and heed to it, that doesn't mean you won't have trouble. You might wonder "I know very well this is God's will yet I am facing challenges." Challenges are not exempted from God's will. If He asks you to walk on a path it doesn't mean it's going to be a trouble-free walk. 

In all the paths we walk in life and all the challenges on them He asks us to give thanks irrespectively. He didn't expect us not to face challenges but that we triumph over them. There is no path that God would ask you to walk that you wouldn't find trouble. What you do is give thanks to Him for what the trouble will produce and then triumph over it. 

Read our theme scripture again.
1 Thessalonians 5:18 give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.

Giving thanks is God's will. The circumstances are inside His will; they are on the path that He leads you. His will is not trouble-free. Just because you are facing challenges here and there is not an indication that God is not with you or you are outside His will. 
Read what Jesus said.
John 16:33 "I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world."

He didn't promise a trouble-free walk. But He did tell us where to find peace; in Him. He said in this world you will have trouble. And He tells us that He has overcome the world for us; so we have to live continually in that victory -- victory over troubles not victory of trouble-free.

PRAYER

Thank You Dear Lord that I live in your will. Thank You that I have victory over all the challenges that may come my way. In this world there are troubles but Jesus has overcome for me, in Him I am forever victorious, 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

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 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 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  14th JUNE 2025 FAITH, LOVE AND HOPE 1 Thessalonians 1:3 We remember before our God and Father your work produced by faith, your labor prompted by love, and your endurance inspired by hope in our Lord Jesus Christ. (NIV) Our Christian life is enveloped in these three; faith, love and hope, without these there is no Christianity.  We received the life of God through faith in Jesus Christ and all He has done for us. We express the life of God through love. In Christ we have received and experienced the love of God. Loving God and loving people is the only genuine proof that we have the life of God.  Our hope in the Lord's return keeps us aglow for His work and also to endure through difficult times. Faith, love and hope are central to our Christian walk.  Our work or manifestation of the power and glory of the Kingdom of God is by faith.  Our labour or service in the Kingdom is by love.  And our endurance...
