DIVINE WORD MINISTRIES

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 24th JANUARY 2026 AT HOME IN HIM 1 John 5:20 We know also that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, so that we may know him who is true. And we are in him who is true by being in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life. (NIV) This above scripture is so beautiful, inspiring and comforting. What could be more than being in God? These are not mere sayings; the above scripture is not a figure of speech or parable.  The Lord Jesus came to give us understanding of the Kingdom and to reveal the Father to us, that we might know Him. And now the Bible says, "And we are in Him who is true by being in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life."  We are in God and God is in us. It is our present-hour reality. Don't look at your body and ask, 'am I really in God?' It is your spirit that is in God, your body is given you to express your spirit.  Apostle Paul spoke in the ...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 23rd JANUARY 2026 A CREATIVE FORCE Genesis 1:3 And God said, "Let there be light," and there was light. (NIV) The spoken Word of God is a creative force. It carries within it the ability to do or create what it says. Everything God created He actually created by speaking forth. They all came to be as He declared. He said let there be light and there was light. His Word created light out of darkness.  2 Corinthians 4:6 For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. He commanded the light to shine out of darkness. His spoken Word is a command, it is a law. When He spoke everything was subject to that law and conditioned to work in conformity to produce light.  And today He has caused that light to shine in our hearts, and that light has given us the knowledge of the glory of God in the revelation of Jes...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 22nd JANUARY 2026 THE PRESENT GLORY Haggai 2:9 ’The glory of this present house will be greater than the glory of the former house,’ says the LORD Almighty. ’And in this place I will grant peace,’ declares the LORD Almighty." (NIV) When the Israelites who returned from exile began to rebuild the temple of God in Jerusalem which had been destroyed by the Babylonians, the word came by Prophet Haggai, in Haggai 2:3, he said ’Who of you is left who saw this house in its former glory? How does it look to you now? Does it not seem to you like nothing?" Then he prophesied, ’The glory of this present house will be greater than the glory of the former house,’ says the LORD Almighty. ’And in this place I will grant peace,’ declares the LORD Almighty." - Haggai 2:9.  First, this prophecy was concerning the temple they were rebuilding at the time. Secondly, for the church that was to come. The glory of our present day church is ...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 21st JANUARY 2026 SEE GOD AS A JUDGE Hosea 14:2 Take words with you and return to the LORD. Say to him: "Forgive all our sins and receive us graciously, that we may offer the fruit of our lips. (NIV) Hosea the Prophet gave this prophetic words to the Israelites. He asked them to take words with them and return to the Lord, and it connotes presenting one's case before a judge, taking words to argue your case. When we pray to God, there is the kind of prayer that we should see God as a judge. Then, we present our case with evidence from the scriptures to argue our case why what we demand should be granted us.  The Lord Jesus told a parable to stress the importance of praying and to keep praying until we get what we demand. I would like us to read the entire parable.  Luke 18:1-7 Then Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up. He said: "In a certain town there was a judg...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 20th JANUARY 2026 THE ROYAL LAW; THE KINGDOM LAW; THE SUPREME LAW James 2:8 If you really keep the royal law found in Scripture, "Love your neighbor as yourself," you are doing right. (NIV) The one law that governs the Kingdom of God is love. The Bible says "Love your neighbor as yourself." This is the Kingdom law and it is the supreme law. Love is all important; loving God and loving people is the way of life. Mark 12:33 To love him with all your heart, with all your understanding and with all your strength, and to love your neighbor as yourself is more important than all burnt offerings and sacrifices." It's interesting to know that loving God with your all and loving your neighbour as you love yourself is more important and rewarding than burnt offerings and sacrifices. In fact the offerings and sacrifices of one who doesn't love God and people is detestable to God.  Love is the only debt we owe ...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 19th JANUARY 2026 WALK BY THE SPIRIT Galatians 5:16-17 So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. For the flesh desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh. They are in conflict with each other, so that you are not to do whatever you want. (NIV) The highest struggle of a Christian is not against the devil but against the flesh. What do you mean by the flesh? It means the natural craving, desires, thoughts and dictates of the human senses.  The human body with its senses is the instrument for living in this physical world. You don't have to have a body to be you, but you have to have a body to express you in this world.  The body's default function is by its sense organs; it functions only by what it hears, sees, feels and perceives. Anything outside this is uncomfortable and unnatural to it. It fights it. But the Holy Spirit you have received is...
