REMEMBER WHERE HE BROUGHT YOU

Exodus 23:9 "Do not oppress a foreigner; you yourselves know how it feels to be foreigners, because you were foreigners in Egypt. (NIV)

God instructed the Israelites not to oppress or ill-treat the foreigners living among them. He didn't say much, He said "you yourselves know how it feels to be foreigners, because you were foreigners in Egypt."

God wanted them to remember that. A lot of times we don't remember where God picked us from, what we were and how we were. Some of us become arrogant and proud and put people into what they themselves were delivered from. The Israelites would have ill-treated the foreigners among them if God had not reminded them that they themselves were foreigners in Egypt. 

We know what it is to be cheated, betrayed or oppressed but when some of us are privileged to get into a place of power we forget so soon and do the same to others. 
None of us was born born again, but when we see sinners; the people we label sinners we judge and sentence them to hell.

1 Corinthians 6:8,10-11 Instead, you yourselves cheat and do wrong, and you do this to your brothers and sisters. nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. AND THAT IS WHAT SOME OF YOU WERE. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.

Before you ill-treat, criticize or judge anybody remember what you were. Remember! God saved you and brought you this far. Remember! Hallelujah!

PRAYER

Precious Father I am grateful for bringing me out of the way of darkness and destruction unto the path of life and light. This is not because of any good thing I did but for your mercy. I see others the way you see them, I refuse to be a critic or judge and I refuse to ill-treat or oppress anyone in Jesus' Name. Amen.

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 15th AUGUST 2025 THE ACTIVENESS OF GOD Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. (NIV) The word of God is alive and active. Think about that for a moment. God's Word is alive and active. His spoken word is His activeness. In other words if God wanted to do anything He does it simply by His spoken word. If you want Him to move or act in a particular situation all you need is to hear His word concerning that situation.  The Father never leaves His throne. He doesn't move around trying to fix things. If He wanted to get things done in the north, south, east or west He only speaks the Word and have it done. He gets active in a place, situation or circumstance by giving His Word concerning such a situation, circumstance or place. When you want God to intervene or g...

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 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 14th SEPTEMBER 2025 IF THE DEAD CAN RISE 2 Corinthians 1:9 Indeed, we felt we had received the sentence of death. But this happened that we might not rely on ourselves but on God, who raises the dead. (NIV) The scriptures declare that our God raises the dead. When someone dies it seems it's all over, that nothing more can be done. It suggest that death is the final. But the Apostle Paul says in his letter in our theme scripture "we rely on God who raises the dead."  If the dead can rise then nothing shall be impossible. What men dread the most is death, and through the fear of death many are still held in bondage today. But this same death is powerless before our God.  Our Papa Abraham understood that God gives life to the dead. Romans 4:17 As it is written: "I have made you a father of many nations." He is our father in the sight of God, in whom he believed —the God who gives life to the dead and calls into...

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...
