DIVINE WORD MINISTRIES

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 9th JUNE 2026 HE TOOK AWAY THE SIN John 1:29 The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, "Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world! (NIV) Sin is not and should not be a problem for anyone in the world. Not just Christians but anyone. Because Jesus took away the sin of everyone that ever lived, living and will ever live. The problem of people is not sin but ignorance of righteousness. Back in the old testament bulls and goats were offered annually to atone for sin but they could not take away sin, rather it was an annual reminder of sin. Hebrews 10:3-4 But those sacrifices are an annual reminder of sins. It is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins. Animals are lower creatures to man and as such could not atone for man's sin. Only an equal or higher sinless creature could atone for man's sin. God provided Jesus, a Lamb without blemish. Jesus willingly accepted to be t...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 8th JUNE 2026 GRACE IN PLACE OF GRACE John 1:16-17 Out of his fullness we have all received grace in place of grace already given. For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. (NIV) God's idea from the beginning has been that man live by His Grace. That is, man shouldn't live by his own effort, wisdom and faith rather in the already-made blessings of God. When He created Adam He put everything in perfect condition in the garden of Eden and brought Adam in and asked him to take care of them, and to eat and enjoy whatever he wanted with one exception (the fruit of the tree in the midst of the garden).  He chose Abraham and made his descendant into a nation. He gave His Word (the law) which separated them from the rest of the nations under heaven. That separation was a statement of Grace. With that they enjoyed God's grace, blessings and favour which no other nation had access to. The Isr...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 7th JUNE 2026 LET NOTHING CHOKE THE WORD Luke 8:14 The seed that fell among thorns stands for those who hear, but as they go on their way they are choked by life’s worries, riches and pleasures, and they do not mature.(NIV) The word of God that comes to us has the ability to produce in and for us what it talks about. Our heart receives the word as seed even as soil receives the seed sown into it. But at times those seeds germinate among thorns. Those Precious seeds are then choked by thorns making them unfruitful. Life's worries are thorns that choke the word and limit it from producing what it says. When we receive the word we are full of joy and expectation. But then there are thorns called life's worries, riches and pleasures that choke the word if not fought against. What is life worries? Life's worries are worries about the necessities of life that one doesn't have.  It's good to have the necessities of lif...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 6th JUNE 2026 SING TO HIM A NEW SONG Psalms 33:3-4 Sing to him a new song; play skillfully, and shout for joy. For the word of the LORD is right and true; he is faithful in all he does. (NIV) One of the ways to praise and glorify God is through song. And true song must be rooted in the heart. Worshipping God with generic songs is good but creating songs from your heart to the Lord is better. In your moment of worship listen to your heart. If you listen well enough a new song would spring from it. The Psalmist said "Sing to him a new song; play skillfully, and shout for joy. For the word of the LORD is right and true; he is faithful in all he does." -- Psalm 33:3-4 The Word of the Lord is right and true. It is through a meditation on the Word that you get a Spirit-inspired song. There is a new song for every new season, and it is only the Holy Spirit who can inspire those songs in you. When the Lord is about to do a new th...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 5th JUNE 2026 RISE UP FROM WITHIN 1 John 4:4 You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world. (NIV) Never find yourself downcast and without an option. Never find yourself knocked down or knocked out. Never be a victim in life. For the Christian there is actually one way to be strengthened; it's from within.  If you are overwhelmed by the world and its circumstances turn your attention to within. If you ever find yourself going down the drain look within. Strength comes from within. If there are challenges that you want to rise above you will have to rise above them first from within. When you learn to function from your spirit the supernatural will be your every day experience. A continuous rise in life is the desire of everyone. No one wants to go downwards. Everyone wants to rise higher in their business, job, career, family, marriage, finance...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 4th JUNE 2026 DON'T FORGET WHO YOU ARE 1 John 4:4 You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world. (NIV) Who you are is the reason for your victory. Everything is defined by its nature. A man's essence is his nature. Having been born of God you have His nature. This defines who and how you are. Never forget this! Don't forget who you are.  The reason some christians suffer what the rest of the world suffers is lack of the consciousness of who they truly are. Who you are in Christ is your everything. Peter who denied knowing Jesus before a little girl stood before thousands of people and testified to the Gospel of Christ. One time he and John were going to the temple to worship when stopped by a lame beggar who asked them for money. Peter responded, "Silver or gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you. In the name of Jesus Chr...
