BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 10th AUGUST 2026 A FIGHT OF FAITH 1 Timothy 6:12 Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called when you made your good confession in the presence of many witnesses. (NIV) Reading this above scripture is improper to interpret it as a warfare with the devil. A lot of Christians have the mentality that they are at war with the devil but that's not true; devil is under your feet defeated, paralyzed and disarmed. Some use such scriptures as the one above to support their claim. But this above scripture didn't suggest anything of such.  The Bible says "fight the good fight of the faith" It's a fight of faith, not a fight with demons or devil.  A fight of faith simply means to work out your faith irrespective of the contraries. It means to manifest the faith you profess irrespective of sight or feeling.  Apostle Paul said to Timothy "take hold of the eternal life to wh...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 9th AUGUST 2026 NOTHING SEPARATES Romans 8:38-39 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, [^11] neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. (NIV) Our oneness with God in Christ is His idea and design. He initiated it, it's what He wanted. He fashioned us such that nothing in all creation can separate us. While we were yet sinners He gave His only Son to save and bring us to Himself, and that because of His love for us. Having brought us into oneness with Him He wouldn't allow anything to separate us. If our sins could not stop Him back then, there is therefore nothing else that can now. We are the object of God's love. Even though all of creation is an expression of His love we are the highest expression of His love. We are so dear to Go...

(NIV) No Christian would argue that God is always available and reliable. But in the face of challenges some wonder 'where is God?' Unpleasant circumstances may tell you that God has abandon you, you may not feel He is around. But God's availability is not judged by circumstances or feeling. You don't have to feel He is around.
