BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 6th AUGUST 2024 DON'T WITHHOLD GOOD Proverbs 3:27-28 Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due, when it is in your power to act. Do not say to your neighbor, "Come back tomorrow and I’ll give it to you" — when you already have it with you. (NIV) Doing good is an opportunity and a privilege. When you truly understand this you won't withhold doing good when it is in your ability to. Galatians 6:10 Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers. It's your privilege and opportunity to do good. Don't become arrogant and full of pride when you are in the place to help. It could be you needing that help but you are in a position to be of help.  Let us observe verse 27 of our theme scripture again, Proverbs 3:27 Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due, when it is in your power to act. Notice it says to whom it is due, not

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 5th AUGUST 2024 HE TELLS YOU THE FUTURE John 16:13 But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all the truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come. (NIV) You would hear people say "nobody knows tomorrow, no one knows what the future holds." But that's not true of those who has the Holy Spirit.  One part of the ministry of the Holy Spirit is to tell us the things to come. The later part of our theme verse says "...and he will tell you what is yet to come." God doesn't want you to live in the dark about your future. He doesn't want you to be unsure of what the future holds. Through His Spirit He shows you the future to come so that you can prepare for it. The future actually belongs to you but if you don't prepare for it you cannot possess it.  God doesn't lead us in uncertainty and assumption. We are One wi

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 4th AUGUST 2024 HE WILL MAKE A WAY Isaiah 43:18-19 "Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland. (NIV) There is a wilderness in the path through life. Wilderness is that time or path in life when things seems not going your way. It's that time when people, events and circumstances seems to be working against you. It's a season of drought even when you are doing much. Passing through wilderness is not as a result of sin, it is a way that leads to the promised land.  There is a promised land for everyone here on earth. It could be achieving your dreams, getting married, success in ministry, coming into your place of riches and abundance. There is a juncture in wilderness where it seems there is no way ahead. Maybe you have been there or there right now. A time when you don't

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 3rd AUGUST 2024 LIFE REQUIREMENTS MET 2 Peter 1:3 According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: (KJV) First it's important to note that God called us to glory and virtue. And all that is required to live such life is already granted us in Christ.  All things that is required for life and godliness has been granted us in Christ. Life in this context is not eternal life. It simply means life on earth. In other words all that is required to live life in a Godly way here on earth has been granted us through our knowledge of Him.  Life requirements is met in Christ. At times we find ourselves wondering how we are going to meet up with this or that. But all that we will ever need in this life is already made available to us in Christ, and all that we need to manifest Godliness has also been granted us. And we can

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 2nd AUGUST 2024 IT'S DONE WHEN YOU SAID IT Matthew 17:20 He replied, "Because you have so little faith. Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ’Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you." (NIV) The Lord Jesus said "you can say to this mountain, ’move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you." When you say to the mountain 'move from here to there' don't observe if it has moved or moving. The mountain here means anything that poses against you. It could be sickness, retrogression in business or trouble in your family. If you command the sickness to go, the proof that it is gone is the fact that you have said it. If you said it then it is done. That's how faith works, not by sensory perception. Maybe you have been praying about something or making decrees and it is not wor

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS (Happy New Month) A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 1st AUGUST 2024 A TREE THAT GIVES LIFE Proverbs 15:4 A wholesome tongue is a tree of life, But perverseness in it breaks the spirit. (NKJV) The Bible says that the last Adam, Jesus Christ is a life-giving spirit. 1 Corinthians 15:45 So it is written: "The first man Adam became a living being"; the last Adam, a life-giving spirit. Everyone who is born again is in the order of the last Adam, Jesus Christ. That means he is a life-giving spirit. You are a life-giving spirit. When the Lord Jesus walked this earth He gave life people and the circumstances that surrounded them. But how did He give Iife? With His Words; He gave life with His mouth.  For example Lazarus who was dead for four days. When Jesus came to his grave he gave life back to him by His words. He called him out of death. John 11:43-44 When he had said this, Jesus called in a loud voice, "Lazarus, come out!" The dead man came out, hi
