BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 30th MARCH 2026 RECEIVE MERCY Hebrews 4:16 Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need. (NIV) God's throne of grace is freely opened to us. Because we have Jesus as our High Priest we can approach God's throne of grace with confidence. Mercy and grace are available at the throne of grace. Mercy here is not in respect to sin; as in pardon of sins, but God's tenderness, kindness and softness directed towards us.  God's mercy is care, patience, carefulness and concerns towards us. His mercy means help we do not qualify for or even ask for. We are confident to approach God's throne of grace to receive mercy (help that we are not qualified for) because Jesus our High Priest offered Himself as a sacrificial offering for us procuring for us all that we would ever need. All we do now is to receive mercy and find grace to help in o...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 29th MARCH 2026 PEACE IS AN ANSWER Philippians 4:6-7 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. (NIV) When this text of the scripture is read we don't really pay attention to the answer promised or provided. It says "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God." And went on to promise the answer that would follow. It says "And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." That's interesting! Peace is an answer to prayer and petition. Much more than what we pray for He gives us peace.  He says don't be anxious but present your prayer, petition and requests ...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 28th MARCH 2026 POSSESS YOUR INHERITANCE Obadiah 1:17 But on Mount Zion will be deliverance; it will be holy, and Jacob will possess his inheritance. (NIV) Mount Zion means the Church of Jesus Christ. And deliverance -- salvation has come to the church a long time ago, and she is forever holy. And there is an inheritance for every member of the Church, the body of Christ.  Colossians 1:12 giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the saints in light. (ESV) There is a legal inheritance for you. It's not about something that is real and tangible only in the spirit realm but also here on earth. Everything here on earth has a spiritual origin and lineage. You have an inheritance in Christ, together with the rest of the saints (Christians) and God wants you to possess it.  A lot of Christians are aware that they have inheritance in Christ but not many of them are in possession of it. Unti...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 27th MARCH 2026 AN EXCELLENT SPIRIT Daniel 5:12 Forasmuch as an excellent spirit, and knowledge, and understanding, interpreting of dreams, and shewing of hard sentences, and dissolving of doubts, were found in the same Daniel, whom the king named Belteshazzar: now let Daniel be called, and he will shew the interpretation. (KJV) Daniel interpreted the mysterious writing on the wall for the king of Babylon. One of the things that enabled him to do so was an excellent spirit. He was described as one with an excellent spirit. An excellent is a keen mind. It's an ability to see and understand things of the spirit.  Every child of God is born with an excellent spirit; he has an inherent ability to see and understand the things of the spirit. An excellent spirit is a keen mind; a mind renewed by the Holy Spirit through the Word. It is the Word-based mind which sees by the light of God's Word. An excellent spirit is required to li...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 26th MARCH 2026 LIVE IN HIS STEAD John 20:31 But these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name. (NIV) Having believed in Jesus and confessed His Lordship over your life you received His life. You are not expected to live it as you deem fit. You now live for Him. Living for Christ is more than living to please Him but living in His stead.  We live in His stead. That is, we live in His place; we live as He would because He lives through us. The Bible says "But these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name." To live in His Name means to live in His total Person. That is not the same as representing His person but being His representation. Being His representation means we are His empress image; His exact expression. Such that all that He is and represe...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 25th MARCH 2026 BE AWARE Romans 8:28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. (NIV) Someone bought a solar panel and placed it outside to have contact with the sun. But whenever it's raining he would move it inside the house. One day a friend visited him and it was about to rain he wanted to go and bring the solar panel inside. His friend told him he didn't have to. That it is waterproof. All these while he was not aware.  The word translated "know" in our opening scripture is the Greek "eido" which means "aware." We are aware that in all things God works for our good. There is no telling what such awareness can do for you.  Are you aware that God has made all your needs readily available? Are you aware that you are superior to satan? Are you also aware that you are forever victorious over Satan, disease, the wor...
