DIVINE WORD MINISTRIES

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 19th MARCH 2026 DOES HE CARE?  Mark 4:35-36 That day when evening came, he said to his disciples, "Let us go over to the other side." Leaving the crowd behind, they took him along, just as he was, in the boat. There were also other boats with him. (NIV) Jesus and His disciples were crossing over a river to the other side of it when suddenly waves came up against the boat. It was so strong that the boat almost capsided. The disciples were so terrified and then woke Jesus up who was sleeping at the rear. They asked Him "Teacher, don’t you care if we drown?"  Mark 4:37-38 A furious squall came up, and the waves broke over the boat, so that it was nearly swamped. Jesus was in the stern, sleeping on a cushion. The disciples woke him and said to him, "Teacher, don’t you care if we drown?" They questioned if He cared even though they knew He did. At times when people find themselves in a pressuring situation,...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 18th MARCH 2026 PROSPERITY AND SUCCESS IS BY TALKING Joshua 1:8 Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful. (NIV) God said to Joshua "for you to be prosperous and successful keep this book of the law always on your lips and meditate on it day and night." This is not heart meditation but mouth meditation. God connects talking His word to prosperity and success. Oh that all of God's children would know and apply this! Many people want God to be directly involved in their lives, endeavours, business and the likes so that they would be successful and prosperous. But the way to bring God into the things that concerns you is through His word; through talking His word consistently.  A lot of people, even some christians want a guaranteed formula or recipe for success in life. But only few co...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 17th MARCH 2026 MAN SHOULD NOT LIVE ON BREAD ALONE Matthew 4:4 Jesus answered, "It is written: ’Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.’" (NIV) Even though the Word instructs that man should not live on bread alone many live their lives on bread alone. Food is for the body. But man is not a body. His body houses his spirit (his real self). Earthly food sustains and keeps his body alive, and spiritual food (God's word) sustains and keeps his spirit (his real self) alive. And though he has two-self; outward and inner self to feed, he feeds only his body (outward self).  A child of God should not live on bread alone. A man who lives on bread alone cannot know let alone fulfill his purpose of coming to this world. Life is not meant to be lived on bread alone, true living is by the word that comes from the mouth of God.  True living is by God's word; words of revelation, w...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 16th MARCH 2026 FABRICATED FOR THE GOOD LIFE Ephesians 2:10 For we are God's [own] handiwork (His workmanship), recreated in Christ Jesus, [born anew] that we may do those good works which God predestined (planned beforehand) for us [taking paths which He prepared ahead of time], that we should walk in them [living the good life which He prearranged and made ready for us to live]. (AMP) The good life is the God life. Everyone who is born again is born with the good life. And he is sufficient to live it because he is fabricated and fashioned for it. A Christian shouldn't struggle to live the God life because it is his natural life. God recreated us in Christ Jesus, [born anew] that we may do those good works which God predestined (planned beforehand) for us [taking paths which He prepared ahead of time], that we should walk in them [living the good life which He prearranged and made ready for us to live. Living the good life...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley  15th MARCH 2026 DON'T HIDE YOUR LIGHT Luke 8:16 "No one lights a lamp and hides it in a clay jar or puts it under a bed. Instead, they put it on a stand, so that those who come in can see the light. (NIV) You find people who are good in what they do; their endeavour or field of work but hidden. He is a good auto mechanic but has no shop. Another fellow is a great engineer but has no tools. They are good in their profession but hidden. Same is true of some Christians. One Christian is a light which is enough for the whole world but a hidden light makes no impact. Every Christian is a light but not every Christian is a shining light. Some are hid and shielded by life worries; what to eat, drink, wear, fame, self-imposed pursuits, and the challenges that follows them. Those who are supposedly to be light to their family, city, nation and world are hidden. For life troubles they hid their light. Don't hide your light. Cau...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 14th MARCH 2026 SHINE AMONG THEM Philippians 2:14 so that you may become blameless and pure, "children of God without fault in a warped and crooked generation." Then you will shine among them like stars in the sky (NIV) At times we complain about the wrongs and evil happening around the world; the hatred, murder, theft, lies, betrayal, and the likes. These are only proof of darkness. And as children of God we are mandated to bear light in this world, and as such convey kindness, love, blessing, life, grace, truth and the likes.  The Bible says our generation is warped and crooked but that we should shine among men in spite of darkness. Darkness and its work will continue in the earth unless we shine and prevail over it. The condition of this world and the state of our lives depend on us to a great extent. You don't have to complain about the rate at which evil is growing in the earth, rather increase and intensify the...
