DIVINE WORD MINISTRIES

Chapter 8 Chapter EIGHT A SURE HARVEST Harvest is always sure when a seed is sow. What will you expect when you discover yourself (life-purpose), drive out fear of failure, remove doubt (uncertainty), lose it (invest it), sow it and take a giant step to greatness? I believe you would expect a harvest of greatness. Hallelujah! Where a seed is sown there is bound to be a harvest.    WHAT TO HARVEST  1. Eternal life: - He that fulfills his God given life-assignment in the will of God will receive eternal life. That is, eternity in God's presence. 2. Joy: - The fullness of joy will always flow in you when your harvest comes.   3. Abundance: You will have abundance in many things. 4. Identity: You will have identity; you will be identified with your success. 5. Honor: - People will honor and revere you when you fulfill your life-purpose. 6. Recognize: - You will gain the recognition of all. 7. Blessing: - You will be blessed and be a blessing to others.                      8

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 31st DECEMBER 2023 YOU ARE NOT IN YOUR SINS 1 Corinthians 15:17 And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins. (NIV) Forgiveness of sin is only possible through Jesus Christ because He paid for our sins by His death. The legal state of a believer is sin-free. Yet many live with a sense and burden of condemnation. If you did something wrong and acknowledged it before God you receive remission; that is blotting out as though it was never committed. But some people would allow self-condemnation to make them ineffective. You are not in your sins. Your wrongs are not with you. If things are not going well it is not a result of the sin you committed yesterday, no! Having received forgiveness you received remission. Walk with your head high up. You are the one Jesus died for and was raised for so that in Him you might receive justification and rightousness. Romans 4:25 He was delivered over to death f

EPISODE 3 MAKE UP YOUR MIND  Make a certain decision and move in that direction. Verse 6: For the Lord had caused the Arameans to hear the sound of chariots and horses and a great army, so that they said to one another, look the King of Israel has hired the Hittites and Egyptians Kings to attack us.  What a miracle!! You may never attain that miracle, breakthrough and open doors unless you take a step. If God could do this miracle with four leapers - men who were without good hands and legs, how much more you? The danger you are afraid of will not be there when God take a step with you. Jesus has triumphed over those failures, pains, even death for you. Just believe. God want to do a miracle in your life, family, society and your generation but you need to take a step. Greatness is in you, success lives in you. In fact, your life and the breath of your nostril is a miracle of God and he wants to do more. All you need is to take a step, now is the time. Verse 8: The men who had lepro

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 30th DECEMBER 2023 PRAISE GOD FOR VICTORY Psalms 124:6 Praise be to the LORD, who has not let us be torn by their teeth. (NIV) Looking back to this year and seeing all the victories we got, the opposition we won over we can only praise God. Running the course this year and coming to the end of the year is grace. Praise is what we should do.  It might look normal to get this far but it is not. If you could see what the enemy planned against you many times during this year and yet you are here celebrating, then you would sing praises to God. You aren't here because there were no plot to take your life, end your business, break your marriage but because the Lord was on your side.  Psalms 124:2-6 if the LORD had not been on our side when people attacked us, they would have swallowed us alive when their anger flared against us; the flood would have engulfed us, the torrent would have swept over us, the raging waters would have swept

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 29th DECEMBER 2023 DON'T GIVE UP DOING GOOD Galatians 6:9-10 Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers. (NIV) We are living in a world where doing good doesn't seems to pay. If we would judge by people's attitude towards our good deeds we would become weary. Some people do pay back evil for good. But that shouldn't stop us from doing good.  The Bible says that we would reap a harvest if we do not give up doing good. And that harvest can only come from God. The harvest of doing good comes from God. It's important we keep this in focus while doing good. The harvest will not come from those you were good to, nor will it come from any man but God.  If you look to man for harvest for the good deeds you did you would be highly disapp

EPISODE 2 THE FOUR LEPERS Read 2Kings 7:1-11 The true story here tells us of the four lepers who made up their mind and took a life-changing step. A step that would change your life often looks like a step that would break you. To know the result of your decision you must first take the decision. Verse 3: Now there were four men with leprosy at the entrance of the city gate. They said to each other. Why stay here until we die? It was a time of great famine in the land of Israel. These four lepers were staying at the gate of the city. The famine was so severe, terrible to bear and survive in. They  had no hope. Staying at the city gate connotes rejection, cast away, not worthy and not useful. I do not know your state of rejection, abandonment, poverty, barrenness and shame. I don’t know how low and down you are right now, but, why stay there until you die? You might be down beyond your understanding but don't dwell on it, beyond where your faith could lift you but don't rule you

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 28th DECEMBER 2023 THE MYSTERY REVEALED Colossians 1:26-27 Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints: To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory: (KJV) God's mystery (hidden secret, wisdom) from ages and generations is revealed to those who believe. This mystery is first, Christ, then the church. The church is a mystery as Christ is a mystery. Colossians 2:2 ...so that they may have the full riches of complete understanding, in order that they may know the mystery of God, namely, Christ, Christ and His body the church is the mystery hidden from ages and generations. Colossians 1:18 And he is the head of the body, the church:... The church is the fullness of Christ, that is, His completeness. Christ is not complete without His body the Church. Jesus and the Church is Ch
