DIVINE WORD MINISTRIES

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 13th DECEMBER 2025 HE IS ALSO A BOSS John 21:18 Very truly I tell you, when you were younger you dressed yourself and went where you wanted; but when you are old you will stretch out your hands, and someone else will dress you and lead you where you do not want to go." (NIV) Jesus made the above statement to Peter and by extension to us today. As a mature Christian you are not allowed to live how you want. Does that mean infants in Christ are allowed to live the way they want? No, but their mistakes are mere reflection of their lack of sufficient knowledge. But the mature Christian is governed by the Word of God. God gave us His Word, it's a word of freedom.  He gave us absolute freedom in Christ and it is the freedom to live in His Word. His Word gives us life and we are required to keep the Word. The Word doesn't enslave or restrict us but we are required to live in the environment of the Word.  He is not only our lo...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 12th DECEMBER 2025 HE HAS A BIGGER PLAN FOR YOU Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. (NIV) You know we all have plans for ourselves. You set out a plan about your life, marriage, business, career and others. But God has His own plan for your very life and all that concerns you because you belong to Him. And He has a bigger plan for you than all the plans you have for yourself. Oh Glory to God! At times we run around trying to get things done, to meet up with our set-goals. We set out a beautiful plan and we want to achieve it as much as we can.  Everyone wants to prosper, everyone wants to progress, everyone wants to succeed. No one ever planned his failure. Man only fails when he is unable to achieve his plans.  One of the plans God has for us in the above scripture is prosperity. Prosperity is of God and He...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 11th DECEMBER 2025 ALL POWER IS VESTED IN THE NAME OF JESUS Philippians 2:9-11 Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. (NIV) The Name of the Lord Jesus has all power; that is, it can do anything. Anything, absolutely anything is possible with the Name of Jesus. The Name has all authority, sovereignty and reign over any name and power. It is superior to every name in heaven, on earth and beneath the earth. It has sovereign dominion. Nothing is outside its dominion. For the Christian there is no question about the power of the name of Jesus but how to use that power. Almost every Christian agrees that the Name of Jesus has absolute power but not as many know how to put that power to work. To put the po...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 10th DECEMBER 2025 HE WILL DO IT AGAIN 2 Corinthians 1:10 He has delivered us from such a deadly peril, and he will deliver us again. On him we have set our hope that he will continue to deliver us, (NIV) You alone can tell your history with God. You have the records of how many times God helped you, delivered you, came to your rescue, had mercy on you when you erred. And it is important you remember these in tough times. If He did it back then He will do it again this time. You may say "I am passing through the toughest time of my life." But the ones He delivered you from in the past were the toughest of your life at the time. He had always delivered you from the toughest and He will do it again. Never make conclusion about your life, don't decide your fate, God is not done with you. The God who brought you thus far and helped you in the past is willing to do it again. In every situation there is what you see and the...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 9th DECEMBER 2025 SEE BEYOND THE CIRCUMSTANCE 2 Corinthians 4:18 While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal. (KJV) What you fix your eyes on magnifies. What you see becomes. What you see is your reality. How you see is of great importance because what you set your eyes on you influence and it influences you too. God has given us His word, His light to see by. You cannot see with this light by the outward man, only by the inward man.  The outward man has His sight (his senses) so does the inward man. But each one can control the other. If you see by your outward man and relates with what you see outwardly it does affect the condition of the inward man and how it functions. And vice versa; the same is true of the other. The Bible says things would turn in our favour "While we look not at the things...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 8th DECEMBER 2025 THEY LISTEN TO YOU AND OBEY Matthew 17:5 While he was still speaking, a bright cloud covered them, and a voice from the cloud said, "This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased. Listen to him!" (NIV) God spoke these words from heaven concerning Jesus while on the mountain with Peter, James and John. Moses and Elijah appeared and a bright cloud covered them together with Jesus. The Father spoke from the cloud saying "This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased. Listen to him!" By this God commanded all existence and all that is in them to listen to Jesus and obey whatever He said. Indeed all things listened and obeyed Him. When He spoke to the storm it obeyed, when He spoke to the fig tree it obeyed. When He spoke to demons of diseases and infirmities they obeyed, He spoke to blind eyes, deaf ears and the dead, and they all listened and obeyed Him without any resistance. ...
