BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 19th JULY 2026 BE HUMBLE Ecclesiastes 9:11 I have seen something else under the sun: The race is not to the swift or the battle to the strong, nor does food come to the wise or wealth to the brilliant or favor to the learned; but time and chance happen to them all. (NIV) Our effort is not solely responsible for our success. Everyone want their effort to be applauded. We want to feel the satisfaction of having earned something. But the truth is, no effort equate what we have. It is not by strength that one succeeds. There is time in the spirit, and there is a set time for a certain glory and manifestation in the life of everyone. Until it is a man's time for a certain thing he won't get it even if he tried or if he tried so hard and get it, it leads to his destruction. We all don't operate by the same time and season, it's one man's time to own a house, but not yet for another. That's why you must not judge y...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 18th JULY 2026 HE WANTS YOU TO RECEIVE John 16:23-24 In that day you will no longer ask me anything. Very truly I tell you, my Father will give you whatever you ask in my name. Until now you have not asked for anything in my name. Ask and you will receive, and your joy will be complete. (NIV) Jesus said "my Father will give you whatever you ask in my name. ...Ask and you will receive, and your joy will be complete." He wants you to receive. When you ask the Father He gives, He gives always when you ask in the Name of Jesus. But some don't always receive. From Jesus' statement it is simple to understand that He wants you to receive when you pray. That tells us that when we don't receive the problem is not with God, whether or not He gives it. Jesus told us the Father will give us whatever we ask. Why do people not receive when they ask? Receiving when you pray is your responsibility. Otherwise Jesus wouldn'...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 17th JULY 2026 CHRIST CONSCIOUSNESS Galatians 3:27 for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. (NIV) The word 'baptized' means immersed. Everyone who received Jesus as their Lord is immersed completely into Christ, swallowed up completely in Him such that all you can see in him is Christ. To be baptized into means to be dipped completely into, as in, into a container full of water.  Having been baptized into Christ by the Holy Spirit you are clothed with Him; you have put on Christ. In the realm of the spirit you are no difference from Christ. And God sees you exactly so.  Though you are clothed with Christ with all of His glory, power, victory, riches and blessings until it becomes your consciousness you cannot enjoy all the benefits. Christ consciousness makes real here what is real in the spirit realm. When you heard of your blessings, rights and inheritance in Christ and believed, ...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 16th JULY 2026 DO GOOD NOW Galatians 6:10 Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers. (NIV) At times people regret about the good they did not render to others. They were in a position to help but failed to, at the end they wished they had helped. Don't wait until it is too late, do good now. A young man saw an old woman carrying a heavy load on her head. He thought to himself to help her, but an evil thought stopped him. While he was battling with his thoughts whether or not to help the old woman a young lady came by and helped her with the load. The young man felt bad that he didn't help her. Doing good can be too late. Do good now. I love the way Apostle Paul expressed it in Galatians 6:10 Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people... Doing good is an opportunity, if you don't take it, it may go away and never return....

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 15th JULY 2026 BE FAITHFUL Matthew 25:20 The man who had received five bags of gold brought the other five. ’Master,’ he said, ’you entrusted me with five bags of gold. See, I have gained five more.’ (NIV) Jesus told a parable of a master who entrusted to his servants bags of gold before traveling. To one he gave five, to another two and the third, he gave one. The first two servants put theirs to work and doubled it, while the other hid his.  When their master returned the one who received the five bags of gold accounted "Master,’ he said, ’you entrusted me with five bags of gold. See, I have gained five more.’ The master's response was "Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness!’ -- Matthew 25:21 You would notice that the master did not talk about the five more bags of gold he gained but his faithful...

A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 14th JULY 2026 POWER BELONGS TO GOD Psalm 62:11 One thing God has spoken, two things I have heard: "Power belongs to you, God, (NIV) In this world people seek power but less often do they turn to God. You even find some Christians who doesn't see God as their destination for power. Someone receive death threat, then he wants protection but never thought of God. He thinks God is not fast enough. How ignorant! True power belongs to God. Some agree that God is powerful but they wouldn't trust Him in a situation that requires power. They just don't know God. All power belongs to God alone. He who made the heavens and earth, and all that is in them is truly powerful. By His great power He raised Jesus from the dead. And this power now reside in us. Ephesians 1:19-20 and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is the same as the mighty strength he exerted when he raised Christ from the dead and seated him at his right han...
