BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 29th JULY 2026 CONTINUE IN HIS GRACE Ephesians 2:8-9 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith —and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God — not by works, so that no one can boast. (NIV) You were saved by grace through your faith in Jesus Christ. The life of God you received you got through faith in Jesus. You can only continue through faith.  Human being likes efforts, works and achievement. They want their efforts to be counted for them. They like to earn things. But God doesn't have blessings that man can earn. His salvation for man is an act of love, which brought us grace by which we were saved. Salvation is all of God, grace is all of God. It is by grace that you have been saved through faith and not your works. So continue in His grace. One of the reasons some Christians are unable to work in the blessings of God is that they want to do something to earn it, no. A life of grace is finding out what...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 28th JULY 2026 IT DEPENDS ON YOUR WORDS Matthew 12:37 For by your words you will be justified and acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned and sentenced. (AMP) Few people would agree that the present state of their lives resulted from their words, but it's true all the same. One might argue and say "my present condition is not what I wanted, I didn't get what I wanted." The Bible didn't say "by what you want or desire you will be justified", rather by your words.  Some erroneously think that just because they wanted or desired something it would come through for them. It doesn't work that way. Wishes and desire is not enough. It's your words that brings to pass. Interestingly it is easier for negative words to come to pass than positive. And that because the default setting of the ordinary world is evil and negative. You don't have to be deliberate with negative words to have it...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 27th JULY 2026 FOR HIS GOOD PURPOSE Philippians 2:13 for it is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose. (NIV) God actively works in and through us by His Spirit. And He does for His good purpose. He works in, through and for us because He loves us. But another reason is because of His purpose. He doesn't want His purpose thwarted in our lives. Beyond His love for us is His purpose. Beyond our dreams and desires is His purpose.  At times the things that happen for us is not because we prayed or go to church but because of His purpose. He leads us in the paths of righteousness for His Name sake (His purpose). When we understand this and function in the light of it, we have more rest. Unnecessary burden is lifted from us because we know our life is not our idea.  Philippians 2:13 for it is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose. Your life is beyond you...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 26th JULY 2026 IF IT SEEMS SLOW Habakkuk 2:3 For still the vision awaits its appointed time; it hastens to the end—it will not lie. IF IT SEEMS SLOW, wait for it; it will surely come; it will not delay. (NIV) God wants for us the good things we seek. He is not against good. It is first His dream for us to be prosperous, victorious and successful before it became our dream and pursuit. There are things He appoints a time to have them happen for us. Until it is that time they might not manifest and then we interpret them as being slow.  It only seems slow to you not to God. He has a time for it. You might say "can't He just tell me the time appointed for it?" If He does you won't walk in faith. He doesn't have to tell you that you will get married next year when you are praying to get married this year, though He does at times.  You can tell from your experiences that there were things you wanted to have happen ...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 25th JULY 2026 PRE-ORDAINED PATHS 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) This above scripture clearly says that God has preordained paths for us to walk in. We don't just walk or live, we live in preordained paths. To preordain or predestine means to plan ahead of time, that is before one was born. God prepared our lives; how we should live through this world and what we should be about before we came. We came into this world because of His preordained purpose. We fullfill His preordained purpose by walking in His preordained paths. What is preordained paths? First it's worth noting, that the paths is in plural not sing...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley  24th JULY 2026 ASK ACCORDING TO HIS WILL 1 John 5:14-15 This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. And if we know that he hears us —whatever we ask —we know that we have what we asked of him. (NIV) Asking according to His will simply means asking according to His word in His Name. When you ask God for anything according to the provision of the Gospel it is His will, and He answers. Jesus said '...whatever you ask in my name' John 16:23 In that day you will no longer ask me anything. Very truly I tell you, my Father will give you whatever you ask in my name. This is what it is to ask according to His will: asking in the Name of Jesus according to the truth of the Gospel. For example it is a Gospel truth that Jesus took away our diseases and infirmities - Matthew 8:17. It is a Gospel truth that He brought us into His riches - 2 Corinthians 8:9. If I were si...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS

A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 23rd JULY 2026 MORE THAN VICTORIOUS Romans 8:37 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. (NIV) We are more than conquerors; more than victorious because we resulted from Jesus' victory. We are the fruit of His victory; His trophy of victory.  We resulted from the victory of Christ over sin, death, the flesh and the world. We are more than just victors; we are the trophy of the Victor, Christ. Jesus won for us but more than that we are His reward.  Live conscious of your victory in Christ. You are more than victorious. In Christ you already overcome the world and everything in it. When the devil and contrary situations rises against you rise above them. Don't cower under opposition, don't hide. Put the word in your mouth and get talking; proclaim your victory in Christ. Remind the devil and the troubles that surrounds you of your victory in Christ. Praise God! You are victorious in Christ, but if you don...
