BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 23rd APRIL 2026 GOD'S SPECIAL POSSESSION 1 Peter 2:9 But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light. (NIV) God's dream had always been to have a special people unto Himself. A people that would bear His name. When He called the Israelites His intention was to make them His special possession. Deuteronomy 14:2 for you are a people holy to the LORD your God. Out of all the peoples on the face of the earth, the LORD has chosen you to be his treasured possession. For the disobedient of the Israelites that dream was short lived. At some time in their walk with God they went into exile for their sins and rebellion. But God didn't give up on His dream. In Christ He made the church His special and treasured possession.  If you are born again you are not just another person on the face of the...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 22nd APRIL 2026 BEFORE PROMOTION Daniel 3:30 Then the king promoted Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego in the province of Babylon. (NIV) There are some promotion that comes with a test. The test is not from God but He allows it. The test is not to qualify you for the promotion but to test how mature you are to occupy such a position.  The Bible says in Daniel 3:30 "Then the king promoted Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego in the province of Babylon" Before their promotion was a great of their faith. Often the test that precedes promotion is a test of ones faith; it often has to do with ones faith in God.  Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego's faith in God was tested, and when they passed the test the king promoted them. The king of Babylon had set up a huge image and decreed that everyone should bow down and worship it or be thrown into a blazing fire. But Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego wouldn't.  Daniel 3:17-18 If we are thro...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 21st APRIL 2026 HE SUPPLIES Philippians 4:19 But my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. (KJV) When faced with a pressing need we tend to look to everything else but God, yet the Bible says He supplies all our needs according to His riches in Glory by Christ Jesus. The mistake some often make is looking to channels as their source. When God use a channel to supply to you He does not expect you to set your confidence in that channel; at times God use a channel one-off. But some would stay with a channel that God has moved on from. Your job is important but recognize that it`s only a channel God uses. Your job will fail, your business will fail, friends-support will fail and every other channel will fail, only God the source will not fail. And He supplies continuously. To receive supply from God one has to first of all turn his attention away from channels. When your hope is fixed on a part...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 20th APRIL 2026 IT SHOULD BE OF VALUE TO YOU 2 Samuel 24:24 But the king replied to Araunah, "No, I insist on paying you for it. I will not sacrifice to the LORD my God burnt offerings that cost me nothing." So David bought the threshing floor and the oxen and paid fifty shekels of silver for them. (NIV) When it comes to giving there are those whose hands are tight-fisted even when it is giving in the house of God. They are never comfortable when it's time to give or talk of giving is mentioned. And when they are eventually persuaded to give they give what doesn't cost them anything. In the above verse, King David said "I will not sacrifice to the LORD my God burnt offerings that cost me nothing." To him if it cost nothing it doesn't have any value. If it will be of value it has to cost something. What you give to others and in the house of God should be of value to you.  There are those when they wa...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 18th APRIL 2026 HE IS EVERYWHERE Psalm 139:7 Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence? (NIV) The presence of God is everywhere. Infact existence exist inside His presence. God is everywhere. We all live inside God. Heavens is His throne and the earth His footstool. His presence is everywhere and everything is in His presence. Nothing can exist outside God's presence. Hell is in God's presence; God's presence is in hell.  David by the Spirit spoke of God's presence. Psalm 139:8-12 If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths(HELL), you are there. If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast. If I say, "Surely the darkness will hide me and the light become night around me," even the darkness will not be dark to you; the night will shine like the day, for...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 17th APRIL 2026 FOR IN HIM WE LIVE Acts 17:28 for In him we live and move and have our being; as even some of your own poets have said, For we are indeed his offspring. (ESV) If you live in the consciousness of this scripture you would live in an atmosphere of the supernatural continuously. When you were born again you were born in Christ into the presence of God. And you live there permanently.  We don't come and go from God's presence; we live there. Some people look at their physical outlook and environment and do not understand how they live in God's presence. It is your spirit that lives in God; and it only become the reality of your physical body and environment when you walk in the consciousness of it.  Look beyond your physical body. You actually live in Christ. You move in Him; you carry out your activities in Him. And have your being in Him; that is, your sustainance and continuity is in Him. Live beyond your ...
