BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 16th APRIL 2026 INCREASE IN GRACE AND PEACE 2 Peter 1:2 Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord, (NIV) God has given everyone of us grace and peace in Christ. But how much of them we enjoy depends on our knowledge of God and Jesus our Lord. Knowledge here refers to intimate knowledge which comes through relationship. The level of grace and peace we enjoy is directly connected to our relationship and fellowship with God. The deeper your relationship with Him the greater your peace and grace.  If you find yourself wanting peace or grace what you need is not prayer but a meditation on the Word and how it relates with you. You can choose to increase the grace and peace of God in your life by increasing your knowledge of, relationship and fellowship with God. The scripture says grace and peace can be multiplied unto you through your knowledge of God and of Jesus Christ our Lord. Con...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 15th APRIL 2026 DON'T OBSERVE THE CONTRARIES Ecclesiastes 11:4 Whoever watches the wind will not plant; whoever looks at the clouds will not reap. (NIV) When you set out your plans and goals to achieve success contraries would set in. There is always that opposition coming from somewhere. There is always that wind blowing against one's plan and direction; it's from the devil. Some wish that there were no oppositions on their path they would have done much by now. "Whoever watches the wind will not plant; whoever looks at the clouds will not reap" - the Bible says. It's not about the wind, the clouds, the oppositions and the contraries. It's about your focus. Those things are destined to come but don't observe them. If not from anything else at least from your own experience you can tell that trouble, contraries and oppositions are part of the walk. It is how you deal with them that makes the ultima...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 14th APRIL 2026 HIS WILL NOT TROUBLE-FREE 1 Thessalonians 5:18 give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. (NIV) When you follow God's will as revealed in the scripture or heard His voice directly asking you to do something and heed to it, that doesn't mean you won't have trouble. You might wonder "I know very well this is God's will yet I am facing challenges." Challenges are not exempted from God's will. If He asks you to walk on a path it doesn't mean it's going to be a trouble-free walk.  In all the paths we walk in life and all the challenges on them He asks us to give thanks irrespectively. He didn't expect us not to face challenges but that we triumph over them. There is no path that God would ask you to walk that you wouldn't find trouble. What you do is give thanks to Him for what the trouble will produce and then triumph over it.  Read our...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 13th APRIL 2026 YOU ARE THE SEED OF ABRAHAM Galatians 3:16,29 The promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed. Scripture does not say "and to seeds," meaning many people, but "and to your seed," meaning one person, who is Christ. ...If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise. (NIV) We are not Abraham's seeds but Abraham's seed. Abraham has one spiritual seed and that seed is Christ. If you are in Christ you are the seed of Abraham. All the blessings and promises God gave to Abraham are actually fulfilled in you. The promise of blessing God made to Abraham was of two sides; physical and spiritual.  Genesis 13:15 For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed for ever.  Abraham and his physical seed did enjoy the physical side of the blessing. But the spiritual side was reserved for the spiritual seed; those in Christ. The spirit...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 12th APRIL 2026 (It's Pastor Stanley's birthday today) THE WORD GUARANTEES YOUR PROSPERITY 3 John 1:2 Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. (KJV) When the subject of prosperity is brought up some Christians object it. They believe that prosperity shouldn't be given a priority in the church but salvation. But true salvation is prosperity. Their judgment and argument are not based on the scripture. Reading our theme scripture no one should argue that God want His children to prosper and be in health.  God's Word is the revelation of God's mind and intent. His Word says He wants you prosperous and in health, but not just that His Word also guarantees your prosperity. God's word concerning you is more than His wishes and desire but a dream and a reality He has enabled you to live. He wants you prosperous, in health even as your soul prospers. You...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 11th APRIL 2026 GATHER LITTLE GATHER MUCH Exodus 16:18 And when they measured it by the omer, the one who gathered much did not have too much, and the one who gathered little did not have too little. Everyone had gathered just as much as they needed. (NIV) Everyone is in pursuit of something. In your endeavor or pursuit learn to gather little and learn also to gather much. Learn to take advantage of seemingly little opportunities as well as the big ones. Success is a product of plan and preparation. No one succeed by chance. Plan big but don't despise little opportunities that might come your way, they might even be your stepping stone to bigger opportunities. If you gather little by little you won't have little, if you gather much you won't have too much.  In life be prepared for what might come. So it's important you diversify your plans and investments. If you have just one plan to succeed in this life and it fai...
