THERE IS GOOD IN THE LAND
Scripture — Isaiah 1:19
"If you are willing and obedient, you will eat the good things of the land." (NIV)

The Bible says the earth is full of the goodness of the Lord. That means the goodness of God is not something you have to go hunting for — you do not have to look for His favour or chase after His blessing. Right where you are, in the land where you live, there is more than enough of God's goodness available for you and to you. What determines whether you enjoy it is not the economy, and not which government is in office; God owns the land, and He has already told you there is good in it.
So why are some believers eating only the trouble of the land — its frustration, its lack, its poverty? The reason is simple: they are not walking in the light of God's Word. And notice that the condition has two parts. Some people are willing but not obedient; others are obedient but not willing. Neither one on its own will put you in the position of eating the good of the land. You must be both — a heart that consents, and hands that comply.
And here is the encouragement for you: God is not withholding anything from you. Everything He created was good and made for your comfort and provision, and all things are yours, because you are Christ's and Christ is God's. Jesus became poor that you might be rich; He came out that He might bring you in. So do not look to the system of this world for a better life. Live by His Word, stay holy in all manner of conversation, and today, eat the good of the land.
Hallelujah!
Prayer
Father, in the name of Jesus, I thank You that the earth is full of Your goodness, and that there is good for me in the land where I am. I refuse to look to men, to systems, or to circumstances for the life You have already provided. Make me willing and make me obedient — one heart and one response to Your Word. Open my eyes to see the goodness of God everywhere around me, and give me the grace to walk in the light of Your Word and eat the good of the land, to Your glory. In Jesus' mighty 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 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 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 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

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...
