BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 26th JUNE 2025 FIGHT TO FINISH Proverbs 24:16 for though the righteous fall seven times, they rise again, but the wicked stumble when calamity strikes. (NIV) It's only the fight that you fight till the end that you have a chance of winning. When boxers engaged in a competitive fight they don't win if they quit at the first or second round, and they don't lose if they were defeated in the first or second round. If you fell once or twice or even more you are not defeated if you are willing to continue the fight to the end. In the battles of life you must be ready to fight to finish.  A righteous person may fall many times but rises again. Falling is not a defeat if one is willing to rise up and fight to finish. We all have our fights, and it will continue until we depart this world.  Apostle Paul tells us to fight. He says "fight the good fight of the faith."  1 Timothy 6:12 Fight the good fight of the faith. Ta...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley  25th JUNE 2025 KEEP YOUR DREAM ALIVE Habakkuk 2:2-3 And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry. (NIV) We live for God, and we live for God through the visions or dreams He inspires in our hearts. By extension we live for our dreams. Dreams are mental pictures you see about yourself being a blessing to others.  God told Habakkuk to write down the vision he saw and make it plain on tablet. That's the first step to running with a vision. Write down your vision. And God went on to say "For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry." Your dream or vision will surely c...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 24th JUNE 2025 AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL -- LIGHT Psalms 30:5 For His anger is but for a moment, His favor is for life; Weeping may endure for a night, But joy comes in the morning. (NJKV) Weeping may endure for a night. That night is a season. That season could be a month, a year, two years, five years or more. But at the end of the night comes the morning. There is always a morning after a night. And that morning comes with joy.  You may be in your night season right now when everywhere around you is dark and things look uncertain. And you are patiently waiting for the daylight; waiting for things to change for good. It's like going through a dark tunnel and hoping for light at the end of it. There shall be light for you at the end of the tunnel. People may have stories of your dark days and hard times but soon they shall see your light and rejoice with you.  Mostly, night seasons are tough times. The Bible says "Weeping ...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley  23rd JUNE 2025 THE GLORY IS GREATER 2 Corinthians 4:16-17 Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. (NIV) We do not lose heart though we are surrounded by troubling situations. In some circumstances our outward self suffers but in the midst of it our inwardly self is renewed continually. And the glory produced in us is far greater than the sufferings we go through.  We may not always find it easy. The Lord didn't promise us a journey through life without challenges or oppositions but He did promise us victory over them all. The Bible calls our troubles light and momentary. They do not have the ability to overpower or overwhelm us unless we give in. And they are truly momentary; they came to pass.  The troubles and sufferings we go through ach...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley  22nd JUNE 2025 GOD WANTS YOU TO HAVE POSSESSIONS Exodus 3:21-22 "And I will make the Egyptians favorably disposed toward this people, so that when you leave you will not go empty-handed. Every woman is to ask her neighbor and any woman living in her house for articles of silver and gold and for clothing, which you will put on your sons and daughters. And so you will plunder the Egyptians." (NIV) Possession here on earth are tools for doing the work of the Kingdom and also a testament of God's blessing upon His people. God wants you to have possession. Contrary to what some people erroneously believe possession or property is not a sin. It is how you acquire your property and what you do with them that makes it a sin or not. And you can't have too much properties or possessions if you know what it is for; they are tools for doing the work of the Kingdom. If you have a landed-property it is to propagate the work of...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 21st JUNE 2025 TO WORSHIP AND OBEY GOD Ecclesiastes 12:13 Now all has been heard; here is the conclusion of the matter: Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the duty of all mankind. (NIV) The great King Solomon enjoyed the best life had to offer in his days. He denied himself nothing his eyes or heart desired, after everything he still concluded that the whole duty of man is to fear God and obey his commandments. And that tells us something -- life is for God, a successful life is one lived for Him.  To fear God in our theme verse actually means to reverence and worship God. Our duty on earth is not to try to become something or make a name for ourselves but simply to worship and obey God. If everyone or least every Christian fulfill this purpose the world would be a better place for everyone. Life is from God and for God. Life and existence is His idea and making. You should live only for Him.  Worship is very ...
