DIVINE WORD MINISTRIES

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 13th OCTOBER 2024 THE BLESSING OF THE LORD Proverbs 10:22 The blessing of the LORD brings wealth, without painful toil for it. (NIV) We should notice in the above scripture that the blessing of the Lord is not the same thing as wealth. For it doesn't say the blessing of the Lord is wealth but that it brings wealth. That's very important to note, because one may be blessed and not have wealth. Blessing is not an automatic wealth. One has to learn how to bring forth wealth from blessing.  The blessing of the Lord is favour, anointing, grace and ability bestowed upon you by the Lord. You can choose whether or not to bring wealth out of it. Every Christian is blessed equally but every Christian is not rich equally. The difference is in how much you make out of the blessing of the Lord in your own life. The blessing of the Lord is favour and ability. Read this -- Deuteronomy 8:18 But remember the LORD your God, for it is he who

PUT WISDOM INTO PRACTICE Luke 6:47-48 As for everyone who comes to me and hears my words and puts them into practice, I will show you what they are like. They are like a man building a house, who dug down deep and laid the foundation on rock. When a flood came, the torrent struck that house but could not shake it, because it was well built. The Word of God is the wisdom of God. Jesus said if you hear His word and practice it your life would be like a house whose foundation is laid on a rock.  The only life that stands the storm, flood and torrent of life is the life built by wisdom. Build your life by the word of God. When you begin practicing the Word and its results hasn't become obvious to all, many will ridicule you; they will laugh and mock you because you acted differently and it seems foolish. But the Lord Jesus said after the flood and torrent of life those people won't be found but you will still be standing firm because your life is by wisdom. That brings to mind Isaa

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 12th OCTOBER 2024 BEFORE MULTIPLICATION John 12:24 Very truly I tell you, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds. (NIV) The Lord Jesus made this above statement prior to His crucifixion indicating that unless He dies He cannot multiply. In His burial He was actually like a seed sown into the soil, and at His resurrection it was as though like a seed He germinated and brought forth many children to God. In His resurrection the new creation began and we all became God's children. This same principle applies in every area of life and to everyone of us. Before multiplication there is sowing and dying of seed in order to bring forth many more. Three main things happens before multiplication; sowing, waiting and sprouting.  Anything you lose or spend in order to get a better return is sowing. If you spend your time studying you are sowing. If you sp

BY WISDOM A HOUSE IS BUILT Many people desire a great and successful life but not many apply wisdom in order to get there. It is wisdom that takes you to the great life. Even in the literal world it takes wisdom to build a physical house. Everyone's life is a building under construction. Everyone is building his life consciously or not. And how well, strong and resilient your life becomes depends on how you build it. If you build by wisdom it will pass the test of time and the storm of life.  God Himself built the world through wisdom.  Proverbs 3:19-20 By wisdom the LORD laid the earth’s foundations, by understanding he set the heavens in place; by his knowledge the watery depths were divided, and the clouds let drop the dew. Everything that God created or made He did by wisdom, knowledge and understanding. These three are relatives. Knowledge is the root, understanding is the illumination or comprehension, and wisdom is the reality of one's knowledge and understanding. Your w

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 11th OCTOBER 2024 WISDOM BRINGS SUCCESS Ecclesiastes 10:10 If the ax is dull, And one does not sharpen the edge, Then he must use more strength; But wisdom brings success. (NKJV) The above scripture says "wisdom brings success." And it is true. In the midst of difficult situations and circumstances wisdom can bring you success. If you are a businessman and things suddenly start going downward if you listen to wisdom he would bring you success. Success is with wisdom. A lot of people do not take note that a lot of people fail for lack of the application of wisdom.  There is a big difference between wisdom and the application of wisdom. The difference is success; wisdom unapplied cannot produce success. That's the reason you see a man who seems to be so wise and eloquent yet his life doesn't show it. There is no success in his life to justify his acclaimed wisdom. Wisdom is justified by results. He has wisdom to be

BRINGS PEACE AND PROSPERITY Proverbs 3:1-2 My son, do not forget my teaching, but keep my commands in your heart, for they will prolong your life many years and bring you peace and prosperity. One of the significance of wisdom is peace with prosperity. Many people seek these two very important elements of life but not many seek wisdom yet peace and prosperity are with wisdom. These words in Proverbs 3:1-2 are King David's counsel to his son Solomon who was about to take over from him as king of Israel, he said to him "My son, do not forget my teaching, but keep my commands in your heart, for they will prolong your life many years and bring you peace and prosperity." David had enjoyed peace and prosperity in the midst of wars. Take note, peace is not the absence of trouble or urest but rest and progress in spite of troubles. So David says to his son that through wisdom he could have peace and prosperity irrespective of whatever happens. Indeed wisdom brings peace and prosp

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 10th OCTOBER 2024 WISDOM MAKES LIFE EASIER Ecclesiastes 10:10 If the ax is dull, And one does not sharpen the edge, Then he must use more strength; But wisdom brings success. (NKJV) More strength is required to cut grass with a blunted cutlass. When its blade is unsharpened you will have to apply more strength but it's much easier when sharpened. Same thing with wisdom. Wisdom makes life easier when applied. This tells us why some of us has suffered for so long. The tongue is a tool with which you cut down obstacles and navigate your way through life. But if it is dull (unwise) then you will require a lot of effort to achieve a minimum success in life. When your tongue in sharpened (wise) through learning the truths of God's Word then your life will be easier. You don't have to suffer or struggle through life, apply wisdom.  There are lot of people in this world that suffers for everything; the food they eat, the clothe
