REMEMBER HIS GOODNESS

Micah 6:5 My people, remember what Balak king of Moab plotted and what Balaam son of Beor answered. Remember your journey from Shittim to Gilgal, that you may know the righteous acts of the LORD." (NIV)

The Israelites on their way to the promised land from Egypt encountered enemies. Kings and people of other nations attacked them many times. One of such was king Balak of Moab. He prepared to attack Israel but fear of them gripped him for they were numerous and strong. He sent for Balaam the prophet and pleaded with him to lay a curse on the Israelites to weaken them. But God would not let him. He ended up blessing them, and concluded in Numbers 23:20 I have received a command to bless; he has blessed, and I cannot change it.

Inspite of this and many other things God did for the Israelites; deliverance and blessings, they would not remember. Each time they were faced with hardship or an enemy they grumbled against Moses and God, not at all remembering His goodness towards them in the recent past. God keeps records of His goodness in your life and He expects you to do the same. 

The Lord said to the Israelites "Remember your journey from Shittim to Gilgal, that you may know the righteous acts of the LORD."
It's needful that you consciously recounts God's goodness towards you. Remember He's been faithful. If things seems tough today, remember He brought you out of a tougher situation. 

Recounting God's kindness towards you is not only an act of gratitude to God but also an act that will stir up faith within you to prevail over today's circumstance. 

PRAYER

Father I am thankful for your goodness, kindness, mercy, favour and love you have shown me over and over again over the years. I count my blessings today, I declare that you have been good to me, you have been faithful, you have been righteous, you have been merciful. 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

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...
