BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 19th MAY 2026 BIND IT! Matthew 16:19 I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven." (NIV) The keys of the Kingdom of heaven is not the same as the keys to the Kingdom of heaven. The keys to the Kingdom of heaven would mean keys that open doors in heaven. But what the Bible tells us is "the keys of the Kingdom of heaven", which means keys that are of heaven origin. In the context of this verse the keys means authority. So what Jesus said in essence is "I will give you the authority of the Kingdom of heaven." And He has long done it. As a child of God you have heaven's authority. You can function in the authority of the Kingdom of heaven. In fact you are required to. You are on earth as a representative of the Kingdom of heaven, and it is your duty and privilege to exercise the authority of t...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 18th MAY 2026 SEE POSSIBILITY Matthew 17:20 And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you. (KJV) People only become hopeless when they can't see beyond where they are. When one is unable to see beyond his seemingly insurmountable circumstances he loses hope. But Jesus said "nothing shall be impossible unto you." If this is true, and of course it is, why not see possibility? There is so much you can do and be in this life. See possibility! The problem is not the challenges or hardships but what you are seeing. If you see a way out of the hardship that's what it would turn out to be. It's not so much about what is not working but your perception about it.  Jesus said in Matthew 17:20 "...If ye have faith as ...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 17th MAY 2026 YOUR LIFE IS YOUR MAKING Matthew 12:33 "Make a tree good and its fruit will be good, or make a tree bad and its fruit will be bad, for a tree is recognized by its fruit. (NIV) First of all, it is important that you realize that every man is a tree and the fruits of his life depends on him. The Bible says "make a tree good and its fruit will be good." You can make your life what you want. You are more in charge of your life than God is. You may not hear this anywhere else. Everyone blames everyone else for their failures and predicaments but themselves. Some even blame God. But He gave you life to live; rule, control and take decision. You are in charge of your life than God is. God doesn't run our life as some think. He gave us His Word by which we should run our own lives. Your life is actually your making. God gave you His manual (His word) to run your life, whether or not you adhere to it is your...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley  16th MAY 2026 ACCORDING TO YOUR FAITH Matthew 9:29 Then he touched their eyes and said, "According to your faith let it be done to you"; (NIV) Two blind men came to Jesus pleading with Him to restore their sight. They wanted to have their sight back. Their desire was all right. But they did not examine their faith. Jesus turned their attention to faith. Because that was what they required; healing and blessing requires more than desire -- faith is required. Matthew 9:27-30 As Jesus went on from there, two blind men followed him, calling out, "Have mercy on us, Son of David!" When he had gone indoors, the blind men came to him, and he asked them, "Do you believe that I am able to do this?" "Yes, Lord," they replied. Then he touched their eyes and said, "According to your faith let it be done to you"; and their sight was restored. Jesus warned them sternly, "See that no one know...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 15th MAY 2026 WHERE YOUR TREASURE IS Matthew 6:21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. (NIV) You can know what your heart is passionate about by taking note of what you do with the things that are precious and important to you. The things that are precious to you are your treasures. Of course, your resources are your treasures too. Your heart goes where your resources goes.  As a child of God you can measure your walk with God, and even your spiritual maturity by what you do with your resources. Money is an important treasure to everyone. If you want to know where your heart is, examine what you spend your money on. Consciously or unconsciously everyone spend their money on what gladdens their heart. If the furtherance of the Gospel of Jesus and seeing people saved is what gladdens your heart then your money will go there. Matthew 6:19-21 "Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 14th MAY 2026 HOPE DOES NOT FAIL Romans 5:5 And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us. (NIV) When we study the Word of God He does not only produce faith in us but also hope. Only the Word gives genuine hope because it has basis. The Word is truth, what He tells us is true. This truth is the foundation or basis of our hope. And such hope does not put us to shame. You may have hoped and waited for God's word concerning a particular issue in your life to come to pass but nothing has happened yet. Don't lose hope. You might have thoughts that the Word has failed and there is no need hoping. Those thoughts are wrong and aimed to destroy your hope. Listen! Hope built on God's Word does not fail. Keep your hope alive! The Bible says "God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given t...
