BREAKFAST WITH JESUS

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 22nd JUNE 2026 FAITH IS A LAW Romans 3:27 Where, then, is boasting? It is excluded. Because of what law? The law that requires works? No, because of the law that requires faith. (NIV) Faith is a requirement of the law of the Spirit. Faith is an attribute of the Holy Spirit, and as such an attribute of the recreated human spirit. Faith is a law.  Romans 8:2 because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life has set you free from the law of sin and death. The law of Moses brought judgment and condemnation unto death, but the law of the Spirit brings life. Having been born again you have this law at work in you. You are under this law of faith; your legal function is by faith. Everything you do with faith is legal, and anything you do without faith is illegal. What then is faith? Faith is living in the reality the Word shows you; when the Word show you a reality live in it. This is the life of the righteous we are c...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 21st JUNE 2026 TELL OF ALL HIS WONDERFUL ACTS 1 Chronicles 16:8-9 Give praise to the LORD, proclaim his name; make known among the nations what he has done. Sing to him, sing praise to him; tell of all his wonderful acts. (NIV) There are people who will spend time to tell you what they want God to do for them. But would hardly tell you what God has already done for them. When it comes to God some are only concerned about now and tomorrow, not remembering and testifying to the wonderful works God has been doing in their lives.  God loves praise! He would that you tell everyone who cares about His wonderful deeds in your life. There are people who like to hide the big happenings in their lives for reasons best known to them. But God doesn't like it when you hide what He did for you. He wants you to shout it aloud, even from the roof-top. The Word implore us in 1 Chronicles 16:8-9, Give praise to the LORD, proclaim his name; make ...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 20th JUNE 2026 REFUSE TO BE ANXIOUS Philippians 4:6-7 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. (NIV) Anxiety is a choice. You are worried not because you have a problem but because you chose to apply worry to your problem. When a problem surfaces the next thing would be your response. The problem does not condition you to be anxious. It doesn't control your response; your response is your own will. You can refuse to be anxious.  People worry about their problem not because of the magnitude of the problem but because they think they do not have a solution. If you know you have a solution you won't worry but simply apply the solution.  The Word of God counsels us, "Do not be anxious about anything," and then gave us ...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 19th JUNE 2026 AN ATTITUDE OF THANKS 1 Thessalonians 5:18 give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. (NIV) There are thanks that God rejects. Thanking God with words or substance is not enough. An acceptable thanks requires a reverence attitude. Thanksgiving in words or with substance is worship. Our worship of God is more about our hearts than the elements used. Your words and substance; givings, presentations, gifts and offerings are elements of worship. And all of these could be a mere religious show if we don't apply the right attitude. We are required to give thanks in all circumstances. And this requires an attitude of faith and obedience. 1 Thessalonians 5:18 give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. Maybe something unpleasant just happened, and then this scripture comes into your mind. It would take an attitude of faith and obedience for you ...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 18th JUNE 2026 EFFORT IS NOT ENOUGH Ecclesiastes 9:11 I have seen something else under the sun: The race is not to the swift or the battle to the strong, nor does food come to the wise or wealth to the brilliant or favor to the learned; but time and chance happen to them all. (NIV) An irony we see on earth is a man who puts in all the effort he could to be a success yet after everything does not come close to it. Effort is good, it is required. But through man's history we can tell that it is not enough.  If all that's required to be successful and prosperity is effort and desire then a lot of people would have long made it. There is something extra. And anyone who truly wants to succeed in life needs to recognize it and walk in line.  Our theme scripture shows that being swift is not enough, being strong is not enough, being wise is not enough, being brilliant is not enough, being learned is not enough. There is something...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 17th JUNE 2026 YOUR PURPOSE IN YOUR GENERATION Acts 13:36 "Now when David had served God’s purpose in his own generation, he fell asleep; he was buried with his ancestors and his body decayed. (NIV) Everyone has a purpose to serve in their generation. You are on earth for a God-ordained purpose. The Bible tells us that David served his purpose in his own generation. And everyone should. David was king over Israel until he died but that was his position not his purpose. There is a difference between a position in life and purpose in life. David's purpose in his generation was to shepherd and lead people to serve God. Psalms 78:70-72 He chose David his servant and took him from the sheep pens; from tending the sheep he brought him to be the shepherd of his people Jacob, of Israel his inheritance. And David shepherded them with integrity of heart; with skillful hands he led them. Just like David and everyone else you have a p...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 16th JUNE 2026 SWAYED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT Acts 11:24 He was a good man, full of the Holy Spirit and faith, and a great number of people were brought to the Lord. (NIV) This above verse refers to Barnabas. It says he was full of the Holy Spirit and faith. To be full of the Holy Spirit in this sense is not the same as to have or received the Holy Spirit. The communication is not to inform us that Barnabas had the Holy Spirit, but that he was filled; so full of Him such that he was swayed in a certain direction.  To be swayed means to be controlled or influenced. Barnabas was so influenced by the Holy Spirit such that his thoughts, words and actions were swayed by Him. He couldn't think, talk or act outside the leading of the Spirit. The result was, the Bible says "and a great number of people were brought to the Lord. Being filled or full of the Holy Spirit is likened to being drunk with wine. One who is drunk with wine is co...
