LET YOUR FAITH IN GOD BECOME KNOWN

 

“The Lord’s message rang out from you not only in Macedonia and Achaia — your faith in God has become known everywhere. Therefore we do not need to say anything about it.” – 1 Thessalonians 1:8 (NIV)

 

When faith is alive in a believer, it makes noise. It does not hide; it is impossible to conceal the radiance of a life truly surrendered to God. Paul, writing to the church at Thessalonica, marveled that their faith had "rang out." It was the ringing sound of victory.

 

The world is filled with silence where God should be, but it is equally filled with the noise of human pride. However, the "sound" of a Christian who is walking in faith is different. It is heard in the midst of a crisis when others panic. It is heard in a marketplace where honesty is scarce. It is the unshakeable peace that stops the conversation and draws the ear. Paul says their faith "rang out"—it had a melody, a testimony that people couldn't ignore.

 

Macedonia and Achaia were specific regions, yet Paul says it became known "everywhere." This is the promise of the God who calls us to expand. When you stand firm in your faith, you become a lighthouse. People may not know the scripture you are quoting, but they know something is different about you. Your life becomes the megaphone of the Gospel. You do not need to advertise your faith; your conduct advertises it for you.

 

Paul makes a powerful point: "We do not need to say anything about it." When your lifestyle is consistent with your testimony, you don't have to boast. If you have to tell people you are a man or woman of God, but the rest of the week contradicts it, you are carrying the burden alone. But when your faith is known, the silence of humility takes over. You can rest in the fact that God is vindicating His life in you.

 

Identify one area of your life where your faith has been "muted." Where have you compromised, hidden, or played it safe? Today, decide to let it "ring out" again. Speak up for your values at work. Love your enemy. Pray with confidence. Let your conduct be so undeniable that even your critics are forced to acknowledge, "This person trusts God."

 

PRAYER

Father, I ask that my faith be no longer a secret to be guarded, but a song to be heard. Let my life in this world ring out with Your truth. Let my family, my workplace, and my community know that I belong to You—not by my words, but by the undeniable power of Your Spirit in me. May I live in such a way that I never need to boast, for my life will speak for itself. 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 A daily devotional Pastor Stanley  14th MAY 2025 EAGER TO DO WHAT IS GOOD Titus 2:14 who gave himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for himself a people that are his very own, eager to do what is good. (NIV) One of the characteristics of a wicked person or wickedness is being eager to do what is evil. Those are not born again whose hearts are seared are eager to carry out evil schemes. But the Lord Jesus has redeemed the Christian from all wickedness and has purified him for Himself making him eager to do what is good. Before you got born again you must have found it difficult to do what is good, most especially doing good to people who hated you and treated you badly. But since you got born again and received the Holy Spirit you find out that you willing and eager to do what is good, not only to those who are good to you but also to them that hates you. Being eager to do what is good is the outworking of the life of God in you; never re...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 10th JUNE 2025 PRAYER SHIELDS YOU FROM TEMPTATION Luke 22:40 On reaching the place, he said to them, "Pray that you will not fall into temptation." (NIV) The Lord Jesus prior to His arrest tasked Peter, James and John to pray lest they fall into temptation. But they did not heed to His warning and they fell into temptation. At His arrest they fled from Him and even disowned Him, Peter denied Him completely thrice. Mark 14:33,37 He took Peter, James and John along with him, and he began to be deeply distressed and troubled. Then he returned to his disciples and found them sleeping. "Simon," he said to Peter, "are you asleep? Couldn’t you keep watch for one hour? Prayer shields you from temptation. Temptation is not test. God tests but doesn't tempt. He tested Abraham and many others in the Bible but tempt no one.  Temptation is a trap set by satan for one to fall into sin. Test is an assessment by God to...

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...
