DIVINE WORD MINISTRIES

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 22nd MARCH 2026 AVOID DISTRACTIONS Hebrews 12:2 fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. (NIV) As a Christian your focus is very important. If you were very good in sewing but while sewing turn your attention to something else you would mess up that dress. If you think you are a sound Christian so to say but do not focus on Jesus and His word you can't go far in the walk. In a world where everything, both good and bad desires your attention you will need to be determine and deliberate to keep your focus on Jesus. The Bible says "fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith." This denotes turning attention away from something unto Jesus. Don't give your attention to everything that demands it. Be smart! God cannot use you without you being focused. And you ca...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 21st MARCH 2026 TRANSFERRED INTO HIS KINGDOM Colossians 1:13 who delivered us out of the power of darkness, and translated us into the kingdom of the Son of his love; (NIV) A Christian realising his real environment and living in the light of it is all important to his success, victory and effectiveness in life. The Bible says in our opening verse "who delivered us out of the power of darkness." So where exactly did this take place, in our house, workplace or street? It took place in the spirit. And it is our spirit not our physical body that was delivered. When He delivered us nothing visible happened in our physical body and our physical location did not change either.  He delivered us out of the kingdom of darkness and translated or transferred us into the Kingdom of His love Son. And where is this Kingdom? It's in the spirit realm. And we literally live here by our spirit. Get this, the spirit realm is more signif...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 20th MARCH 2026 BEHOLD THE NEW THINGS 2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. (KJV) Everyone who has received Christ as Lord is recreated in Christ Jesus (born anew or born again) and is like God in true righteousness and holiness. -- "Ephesians 4:24 and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness." He has no past, he is a new creature; a new species, a kind that never existed before. Yet although most Christians agree to this truth not everyone of them live in the light of it. But the blesssings thereof only manifest when one lives in the light of it. The Bible says "behold, all things are become new." Here is the challenge of some; refusing to behold and recognize the new things. Even though all things are new in the life of a Christian until he sees them he cannot enjoy them...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 19th MARCH 2026 DOES HE CARE?  Mark 4:35-36 That day when evening came, he said to his disciples, "Let us go over to the other side." Leaving the crowd behind, they took him along, just as he was, in the boat. There were also other boats with him. (NIV) Jesus and His disciples were crossing over a river to the other side of it when suddenly waves came up against the boat. It was so strong that the boat almost capsided. The disciples were so terrified and then woke Jesus up who was sleeping at the rear. They asked Him "Teacher, don’t you care if we drown?"  Mark 4:37-38 A furious squall came up, and the waves broke over the boat, so that it was nearly swamped. Jesus was in the stern, sleeping on a cushion. The disciples woke him and said to him, "Teacher, don’t you care if we drown?" They questioned if He cared even though they knew He did. At times when people find themselves in a pressuring situation,...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 18th MARCH 2026 PROSPERITY AND SUCCESS IS BY TALKING Joshua 1:8 Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful. (NIV) God said to Joshua "for you to be prosperous and successful keep this book of the law always on your lips and meditate on it day and night." This is not heart meditation but mouth meditation. God connects talking His word to prosperity and success. Oh that all of God's children would know and apply this! Many people want God to be directly involved in their lives, endeavours, business and the likes so that they would be successful and prosperous. But the way to bring God into the things that concerns you is through His word; through talking His word consistently.  A lot of people, even some christians want a guaranteed formula or recipe for success in life. But only few co...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 17th MARCH 2026 MAN SHOULD NOT LIVE ON BREAD ALONE Matthew 4:4 Jesus answered, "It is written: ’Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.’" (NIV) Even though the Word instructs that man should not live on bread alone many live their lives on bread alone. Food is for the body. But man is not a body. His body houses his spirit (his real self). Earthly food sustains and keeps his body alive, and spiritual food (God's word) sustains and keeps his spirit (his real self) alive. And though he has two-self; outward and inner self to feed, he feeds only his body (outward self).  A child of God should not live on bread alone. A man who lives on bread alone cannot know let alone fulfill his purpose of coming to this world. Life is not meant to be lived on bread alone, true living is by the word that comes from the mouth of God.  True living is by God's word; words of revelation, w...
