DIVINE WORD MINISTRIES

  BREAKFAST WITH JESUS Daily devotional Pastor Stanley 9th SEPTEMBER 2026   GOD RAISES THE POOR FROM DUST   "He raises the poor from the dust and lifts the needy from the ash heap; he seats them with princes, with the princes of his people." (Psalms 113:7-8)NIV   Beloved, no one is too low for God to lift. The God we serve specializes in dramatic reversals—He takes those in the dust and seats them among Princes.   Perhaps you feel overlooked, undervalued, or forgotten. Maybe you've been sitting in the ash heap of disappointment, rejection, or lack. Hear this truth: God sees you. He is not intimidated by the depth of your need; He is empowered by His ability to meet it.   The dust is not your destiny. The ash heap is not your address. The same God who lifted Joseph from the pit to the palace, and Esther from obscurity to the throne, is alive and active in your life today. He does not just lift you out—He lifts you high, seating you in places of honor and inf...

  BREAKFAST WITH JESUS Daily devotional Pastor Stanley 8th SEPTEMBER 2026   REJOICING COMES IN THE MORNING   "For his anger lasts only a moment, but his favor lasts a lifetime; weeping may stay for the night, but rejoicing comes in the morning." (Psalms 30:5)NIV   Beloved, if you have been walking through a season of tears, take heart—your morning is coming. The Psalmist reminds us that weeping is temporary, confined to the night, but rejoicing is the portion of the morning.   God's favor is not measured in moments; it spans a lifetime. Whatever hardship you are facing now is just a night season, not your eternal destiny. The darkness you see is not permanent; it is merely the backdrop against which God's light will soon shine brightest.   Hold on. The same God who watched over you through the night is the One who ushers in the dawn. His favor is already positioned to replace your sorrow with songs of deliverance. What the enemy intended for your shame, God...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS Daily devotional Pastor Stanley 7th SEPTEMBER 2026 REJOICE OVER TRIALS Scripture: "Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds," (James 1:2) NIV Beloved, the child of God possesses a unique spiritual perspective. While the world views trouble as a tragedy, we understand it as a divine training ground. James does not suggest we "hope" for joy; he commands us to "consider it pure joy." This is a call to spiritual intelligence. When you face trials, do not waste your energy asking, "Why is this happening?" Instead, celebrate the opportunity to prove the strength of your faith. Every pressure is a platform for God's power to manifest. Trials are the fire that burns away dross and leaves only pure gold. They are not here to defeat you, but to make you perfect and complete, lacking nothing. When you realize that God is refining you rather than rejecting you, your heart shifts from compl...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS Daily devotional Pastor Stanley 6th SEPTEMBER 2026 OUR LIGHT AND MOMENTARY TROUBLES "For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal." (2 Corinthians 4:17-18 NIV) Beloved, in the heat of the moment, trouble often feels heavy and endless. But as children of the Most High, equipped with the spirit of power, love, and a sound mind, we have a divine perspective to help us stand tall. Paul reminds us that our current challenges, no matter how intense, are merely "light" and "momentary" in the scope of God’s grand plan. If you are facing a mountain today, remember that no mountain lasts forever, but the glory God has prepared for His children lasts for eternity. Don't let temporary difficulties steal your eternal destiny. Shift your gaze from the size of your...

 BREAKFAST WITH JESUS Daily devotional Pastor Stanley 5th SEPTEMBER 2026 CHRIST IN YOU "Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints: To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:" (Colossians 1:26-27, KJV) For centuries, the deepest secret of God’s redemptive plan was veiled from the world. But through the cross and resurrection, that veil has been torn away. The glorious mystery is no longer distant or theoretical—it is present, personal, and power-packed: Christ in you. This is not a metaphor; it is the living reality of every born-again believer. The same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead now dwells within us, and has transferred us from the kingdom of darkness into the light (reality) of divine nature, power, and purpose. Do not live as though you are striving alone, carrying the weight of your battles, dreams, ...

  BREAKFAST WITH JESUS Daily devotional Pastor Stanley 4th SEPTEMBER 2026   HAVE THE ATTITUDE OF CHRIST   "In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness." (Philippians 2:5-7, NIV)   True greatness is never found in the pursuit of power, but in the pursuit of humility. Jesus Christ, though He possessed the very nature of God and held perfect equality with the Father, did not cling to His rights for personal gain. He did not use His authority to be served; instead, He emptied Himself. He laid aside the display of His glory to take on the form of a servant, becoming human to draw near to us.   In our daily relationships, the world tells us to fight for our rights and demand recognition. But the believer is called to a higher w...
