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...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 15th JUNE 2026 ALWAYS DO GOOD Acts 9:36 In Joppa there was a disciple named Tabitha (in Greek her name is Dorcas); she was always doing good and helping the poor. (NIV) Dorcas was one of the disciples of the church in Joppa and was a very generous woman. The Bible says "she was always doing good and helping the poor." She devoted herself to helping the poor especially the widows. A time came that she too ill and died. The church (the disciples) at Joppa sent for Peter who was at the time at Lydda. "Please come at once." They pleaded.  When Peter got there all her beneficiaries especially the widows narrated to Peter how Dorcas had helped them. Each one of them showed him the clothes she bought for them. The whole community wanted her back to life. That's telling! That is how much being good can do.  Peter raised her back to life and presented her alive to them. Her good deed spoke for her. "A good name...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 14th JUNE 2026 WE TRUST IS IN HIS NAME Psalms 20:7 Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the Lord our God. (NIV) In this world different people have what they rely on. Some trust in their influence, some in their riches, some their parents, some their bosses, others their political power or position. As Christians our trust is in the Name of the Lord Jesus.  When we say we trust in His Name is not the same as having faith in His Name. Having faith in His name means whenever we use His Name its works. But trusting in His Name is trusting in His influence, power, presence, glory, grace and everything His Name represents. It is like when you come into a meeting in the name of the governor of your state. He sends you, you come in His Name. You are accorded the respect, privilege and honour that is due him. You are receiving his dues because you came in his name.  We do not only trust in the pow...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 13th JUNE 2026 SHINE IN DARKNESS John 1:5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. (NIV) It is not proper for Christians to join the world in complaining or grumbling about the evil and decadence in the world. A Christian is light, and God expects him to shine over darkness. God puts us here as bearers and sharers of light; we are answer, we are solution. Instead of complaining let us rise and shine. A light that doesn't shine in the darkness is not light at all. The true importance of light is seen in darkness. Light is illumination, revelation and answer. If you are not illuminating or giving answers to your world you have to examine yourself. Matthew 6:23 But if your eyes are unhealthy, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light within you is darkness, how great is that darkness! Examine your light. Work on yourself. Be a burning and shining light. Give light to your world. Shi...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 12th JUNE 2026 GOD IS NOT UNJUST Hebrews 6:10 God is not unjust; he will not forget your work and the love you have shown him as you have helped his people and continue to help them. (NIV) Some of us have given our all to the course of the Gospel. We have put in all we got into the work, at times even beyond our ability. We serve in the church. We serve people wholeheartedly in and outside the church. At times when things seem not working we wonder. But God is a rewarder.  God is not unjust; he will not forget your work and the love you have shown him as you have helped his people and continue to help them.  When you work for or serve a prominent person who has the capacity to reward you but doesn't you feel bad. Men could be unjust and forget your work and service of love but God is not unjust. This should give you confidence to keep working and serving in the Kingdom. You may look around you and not see number for number...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 11th JUNE 2026 SIGHT IS NOT A DETERMINANT 2 Corinthians 5:7 For we live by faith, not by sight. (NIV) The true state of things are not determined by sight. People who live simply by their senses find themselves in unending troubles. Anyone who live by sight falls into troubles he has no answers to.  What you see, hear or feel shouldn't control your words and actions, don't allow it dictate the outcome of your life. Life is not to be lived by sight because life is spiritual. Your sight and entire physical body was given you to live what you see in the spirit through the Word. Seeing in the spirit through the Word is seeing by faith. Living in the light of what you see by the Word is living by faith. Faith is a determinant. What you become, possess and do in this world is determined by your faith. If you are going to walk in the right direction, possess what belongs to you, do what you are destined to depends on your faith. I...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 10th JUNE 2026 YOU ARE UNPREDICTABLE John 3:8 The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit." (NIV) If devil knows your every move he would have tried his best to crush them all. For those who are not born again devil has information about their dealing to some extent but not everything. But for those who are born again he has no clue.  The born again; a person born of the Spirit is a wonder and mystery to satan, his demons and the world. He is unpredictable. The Bible says in John 3:8, The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit." Every child of God is like a wind that can't be caught, tamed, controlled or predicted. No devil can predict the next move or tomorrow of a Christian. You can do w...
