SALVATION IS BY WORDS

"And he shewed us how he had seen an angel in his house, which stood and said unto him, Send men to Joppa, and call for Simon, whose surname is Peter; Who shall tell thee words, whereby thou and all thy house shall be saved." (Acts 11:13–14)NIV

Beloved, notice what the angel told Cornelius: Peter would come and speak words—and through those words, salvation would come to him and his entire household.

This is a powerful revelation. God could not save Cornelius through a vision or a dream or even by Angel, He had to send a man with a message. Why? Because faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God (Romans 10:17). Salvation is transmitted through words.

Cornelius was already a devout man—he prayed continually and gave generously. Yet he still needed to hear the words of salvation. Religion, good works, and sincere devotion cannot replace the power of God's Word. When Peter opened his mouth and spoke the Gospel, the Holy Ghost fell upon all who heard (Acts 10:44). The words carried life!

As a born-again believer, you are already saved—but you walk by faith, and faith is sustained by the Word. You must feed on the scriptures daily. Speak them over your life. Declare them over your family. The same words that saved Cornelius's household can transform yours today.

Do not neglect the Word. Read it. Hear it. Confess it. For in the words of God, there is life, healing, deliverance, and salvation.

Prayer:
Father, thank You for Your Word that brings salvation. I receive it into my heart today. Let Your words bring life to me and my household. In Jesus' name, Amen.

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 15th AUGUST 2025 THE ACTIVENESS OF GOD Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. (NIV) The word of God is alive and active. Think about that for a moment. God's Word is alive and active. His spoken word is His activeness. In other words if God wanted to do anything He does it simply by His spoken word. If you want Him to move or act in a particular situation all you need is to hear His word concerning that situation.  The Father never leaves His throne. He doesn't move around trying to fix things. If He wanted to get things done in the north, south, east or west He only speaks the Word and have it done. He gets active in a place, situation or circumstance by giving His Word concerning such a situation, circumstance or place. When you want God to intervene or g...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley  14th MAY 2025 EAGER TO DO WHAT IS GOOD Titus 2:14 who gave himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for himself a people that are his very own, eager to do what is good. (NIV) One of the characteristics of a wicked person or wickedness is being eager to do what is evil. Those are not born again whose hearts are seared are eager to carry out evil schemes. But the Lord Jesus has redeemed the Christian from all wickedness and has purified him for Himself making him eager to do what is good. Before you got born again you must have found it difficult to do what is good, most especially doing good to people who hated you and treated you badly. But since you got born again and received the Holy Spirit you find out that you willing and eager to do what is good, not only to those who are good to you but also to them that hates you. Being eager to do what is good is the outworking of the life of God in you; never re...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 10th JUNE 2025 PRAYER SHIELDS YOU FROM TEMPTATION Luke 22:40 On reaching the place, he said to them, "Pray that you will not fall into temptation." (NIV) The Lord Jesus prior to His arrest tasked Peter, James and John to pray lest they fall into temptation. But they did not heed to His warning and they fell into temptation. At His arrest they fled from Him and even disowned Him, Peter denied Him completely thrice. Mark 14:33,37 He took Peter, James and John along with him, and he began to be deeply distressed and troubled. Then he returned to his disciples and found them sleeping. "Simon," he said to Peter, "are you asleep? Couldn’t you keep watch for one hour? Prayer shields you from temptation. Temptation is not test. God tests but doesn't tempt. He tested Abraham and many others in the Bible but tempt no one.  Temptation is a trap set by satan for one to fall into sin. Test is an assessment by God to...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 9th MARCH 2024 BE POWER CONSCIOUS Ephesians 1:19-20 and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is the same as the mighty strength he exerted when he raised Christ from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, (NIV) As a Christian you are not without power. If you are not walking in power it might be that you don't know you have power or you don't understand the power or you are not conscious of it. The above Scripture is clear on what it says. It says that God's incomparably great power is for us who believe. And it emphasize that it is the same power God used to raise Christ from the dead. That's interesting! It's important that you understand the power referred here and what it means to you. God's power is not in measure. In other words God doesn't have small and great. The same power with which He created the world is the same that parted the red sea, by i...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 26th JUNE 2025 FIGHT TO FINISH Proverbs 24:16 for though the righteous fall seven times, they rise again, but the wicked stumble when calamity strikes. (NIV) It's only the fight that you fight till the end that you have a chance of winning. When boxers engaged in a competitive fight they don't win if they quit at the first or second round, and they don't lose if they were defeated in the first or second round. If you fell once or twice or even more you are not defeated if you are willing to continue the fight to the end. In the battles of life you must be ready to fight to finish.  A righteous person may fall many times but rises again. Falling is not a defeat if one is willing to rise up and fight to finish. We all have our fights, and it will continue until we depart this world.  Apostle Paul tells us to fight. He says "fight the good fight of the faith."  1 Timothy 6:12 Fight the good fight of the faith. Ta...
