EPISODE 1 Chapter 11 -- Love covers wrongs How much wrongs can your love cover? Love has the ability to cover multitude of wrongs. It doesn't keep records of wrongs done against it. Love blot out wrongs as though they were never committed. When love forgives it also forget about it. The love that forgives but don't forget is not true love. True forgiveness is blotting out the wrong as though it was never committed. If the records are kept for remembrance then it's not forgiveness. How much can your love forgive? Are there things you would say, this one "I can never forgive or I forgive but I will never forget." That's not true love. True love forgives any wrong however great it is, and keeps no records of it.  Proverbs 10:12 Hatred stirs up conflict, but love covers over all wrongs. A successful marriage is not one where wrongs were never done to each other but where love covers over all wrongs. If you see a happy couple, it is not that they never offended eac...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 6th NOVEMBER MORE THAN TWO THOUSAND YEARS AGO 1 Corinthians 15:57 But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. (NIV) When a Christian is faced with a challenge and wants a change he prays to God hoping that He would do something right away. When conflict comes up at his workplace he want God to give him victory over it. But God already gave us victory over every conflict more than two thousand years ago through the Lord Jesus Christ. And it is valid for today and for all time.  The victory we got in Christ is a continuous victory; it is a once and for all time victory which continue over times and circumstances. We are as victorious today as we were more than two thousand years ago when God raised us up with Jesus from the dead.  Acts 2:24 But God raised him from the dead, freeing him from the agony of death, because it was impossible for death to keep its hold on him. When God raised Jesus ...

EPISODE 2 WHAT IS PERFECT LOVE? Perfect love is complete love. It is a fulffilled love. When His love fulfills His purpose in us it is perfect love. What is His purpose for loving us? He loved us so we could love Him and be the extension of His love to others. When this is in play it is perfect love; complete love, fulfilled love. 1 John 4:19 We love because he first loved us.

Fulfiling the purpose for which He loves us. He loves us to love others. When we do this, the love circle is complete, thus perfect. It is the same love He put in us that we express. So it can only be perfect. It is His exact love, He told us that. He says "As I have loved you, so you must love one another". It is His love through us. We only love because He first loved us (put His love inside us). We onl...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 5th NOVEMBER 2023 THE SPIRIT OF FEAR 2 Timothy 1:7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. (KJV) There is such a thing as the spirit of fear. It precedes every disaster or calamity that comes to a man. Before any negative thing takes place in the life of a person he is first attacked with fear. It takes fear to die. Anyone who rejects fear rejects death.  When a Doctor diagnose a person with an incurable disease and tell the person you are going to die in three months from now. A lot of times such a person dies before the end of that three months. What actually kill the fellow is not the disease but fear of death. If the Doctor hadn't said anything to him he probably would have lived many years more. Fear kills! If you had school exams to write devil would attack you with fear of failing. If you allow such fear you would actually fail before the exam. When devil wants you to...

EPISODE 1 Chapter 10 -- Love is Perfection Love is an act of perfection. Anyone who lives in love lives in perfection. Love is the greatest, love is the highest, love is perfection. Love is a perfect act. To act in love is to act perfect. 1 John 4:16-19 And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them. This is how love is made complete among us so that we will have confidence on the day of judgment: In this world we are like Jesus. There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love. We love because he first loved us. God Himself is love. That already says that love is perfect because God who is love is perfect. He expresses His love for us in perfection. The Love He has for us is what we express in perfection. The word says when we live in love we live in God, in this love is made complete (fulfilled) among us. That is, fulfi...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 4th NOVEMBER 2023 WHOLESOME THOUGHTS WHOLESOME LIFE Proverbs 23:7 For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he:... (KJV) Everyone wants their life to be wholesome but not everyone gives careful attention to their thoughts. And not many give premium to their thoughts. Yet the Bible says as a man think so is he. Everyone is a product of their thoughts. The circumstances of man's life is defined by his thoughts. He may not be responsible for every thought that comes to him but he is certainly responsible for processing them and the resultant effect in his life.  If you want a wholesome life have wholesome thoughts. The outcome of your life cannot escape your thoughts. You can control what you think because your mind thinks only the information you provide it. Avail yourself to the right information. People who live in constant fear is as a result of the fearful information they have digested over a cause of time. If you listen to the...

 EPISODE 2 WE ARE A BEING OF LOVE Having been born of God who is Himself love we are born of His Love-Nature. We have His nature of Love. We are love personified. We are a being of love. Loving is our natural expression. We live love as our life. We should walk in love, we can walk in love for it is in us. Our Erotic love will blossom amazingly with this understanding of love. You wouldn't love him or her just because he or she is the opposite gender and you have interest in him or her. But it would be an expression of your nature. Such love cannot die nor fade. It can only keep growing. Married or intending couple needs this understanding that love is life. Love is more than 'I want to marry him or her', but love itself is a life we are born to live, whether in marriage or not, love must be lived. LOVE IS OUR PURPOSE It is worth noting that God created us out of love. We proceeded from love. He created us so that He could love us. So His purpose is love. He did all He did ...
