DIVINE WORD MINISTRIES

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 17th FEBRUARY 2026 AS HE IS SO ARE WE 1 John 4:17 Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world. (KJV) Reading this scripture blows the mind. The natural man would never accept its truth. Many would argue, 'how can you say we are as Jesus is?' But it's right there in the Bible. It's the Word that says so. Another reason people don't agree is that they don't really know how Jesus was when He walked this earth.  How was Jesus when He walked this earth? How different was His physical appearance from the people of His day? Physically Jesus was no different. He ate like everyone else, drank water, used toilet. Jesus was tired like everyone else, He was tempted, He was hungry, His clothes were dirty and He washed them. He was born a little baby and grew to become a man like everyone else. If Jesus walked the earth today He won't be ...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 16th FEBRUARY 2026 BURDEN IS ESSENTIAL Matthew 11:28-30 "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light." (NIV) It's important to take note of what the Lord Jesus said in this above scriptures. He invites the weary and the burdened, and offers them rest. But He didn't stop there He asks them to take up His yoke and said "For my yoke is easy and my burden is light." He didn't say there is no burden but that the burden is light. Burden is essential. Someone has to have a burden, a concern, a pursuit. Something you live for. Everyone in the world has a burden. Everyone is living for something. But there are those whose burden wearies and are bent over with loads of life. Jesus says "my burden is light."  Inste...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 15th FEBRUARY 2026 PRAYER KEEPS YOU IN GOD'S WILL Matthew 26:41 "Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak." (NIV) Jesus during His days on earth prayed often, first for fellowship with the Father, second to keep Himself in God's will and purpose. His personal prayer to God was not of needs. He did not ask God for things. Understanding and committing oneself to this higher purpose of prayer is paramount to filling divine purpose.  Your prayer life should be much more than a means to ask things from God. You won't even enjoy the pleasure of praying if it's always about your needs. Just spend time talking to God about His goodness, mercy, love and blessings in your life. Worship, listen and enjoy His presence. Pray often in other tongues. Doing these keeps you in His will.  This is one of the reasons when you are praying to God about a particular t...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 14th FEBRUARY 2026 THE EXCELLENCY OF WISDOM Ecclesiastes 7:12 For wisdom is a defence, and money is a defence: but the excellency of knowledge is, that wisdom giveth life to them that have it. (KJV) Money is surely a defence. Money is surely an answer. Money does so much but it cannot give life. Money is a shelter as wisdom is a shelter but the excellency of wisdom is that it gives life. Money is a spiritual substance as wisdom is a spiritual substance but wisdom is a living thing. Money is indispensable on earth just as wisdom but wisdom exceeds time; that means unlike money wisdom will be required in heaven. That's the excellency of wisdom. God doesn't want His children to live without wisdom. Wisdom is life. There is the wisdom of men, wisdom of the world, earthly wisdom, but there is the wisdom of God. This is what gives life and makes men excellent and outstanding success in life. And this wisdom is freely given to us....

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 13th FEBRUARY 2026 THE EXPRESSION OF THE FATHER John 5:19 Jesus gave them this answer: "Very truly I tell you, the Son can do nothing by himself; he can do only what he sees his Father doing, because whatever the Father does the Son also does. (NIV) Jesus in His earthly days lived only to please the Father. His life was solely an expression of the Father. He talked and acted only as the Father would. He was an expression of the Father.  He did and acted out what He heard and saw the Father did. He was an earthly manifestation of the Heavenly Father; a visible form of the invisible God. When you saw Jesus you saw God. He was everything God. John 5:30 By myself I can do nothing; I judge only as I hear, and my judgment is just, for I seek not to please myself but him who sent me. That is what it means to be Son of God. Son of God is not one born of God as in reproduction. But God in a human body; the expression or representation ...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 12th FEBRUARY 2026 HE HAS BLESSED YOU 2 Corinthians 9:8 And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work. (NIV) This above scripture is fulfilled. It's not actually a promise but what God has already done for you by Christ Jesus. And He is able to cause that blessing to manifest in your life such that in all things at all times you have all that you need and require no aid or support from anyone, and abound in every good work and charitable donation.  God's dream for you is that you have abundance so that you are not only sufficient but also able to finance the work of the Kingdom and help others too. Lack and want is not God's plan for His children. No one can fulfill God's purpose for his life through lack and want. In fact one of your purposes in life is to walk in the unsearchable riches of Christ.  The first step in walking...
