DIVINE WORD MINISTRIES

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 29th FEBRUARY 2024 APPRECIATE HIS MINISTRY 1 Corinthians 12:3 Therefore I want you to know that no one who is speaking by the Spirit of God says, "Jesus be cursed," and no one can say, "Jesus is Lord," except by the Holy Spirit. (NIV) It is important that we recognize and appreciate the ministry of the Holy Spirit in our lives. He ministers to us every time but some do not recognize nor appreciate Him.  The Bible says "no one can say, "Jesus is Lord," except by the Holy Spirit." This seem so simple that many don't recognize that it was the Holy Spirit who helped them to say "Jesus is Lord." But no one can say that without the Holy Spirit. Every divine truth a man accepts is by the Holy Spirit. When you take note of the seemingly little things He does for you and appreciate Him, you would be able to walk with Him in greater things.  You should appreciate Him for being able to stu...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 28th FEBRUARY 2024 LIVE OUT YOUR TIME 1 Peter 1:17 Since you call on a Father who judges each person’s work impartially, live out your time as foreigners here in reverent fear. (NIV) The Apostle Peter said to live out your time. But what does that mean? It doesn't mean to spend your time. But to fulfill your time.  Your time on earth is only fulfilled when it fulfill what it was given for. He talked about God judging each person's work impartially, that means your time is for work. Everyone on earth is apportioned a time to fulfill a course. One's time can elapse. So you must be wise in making use of your time; your days on earth.  Don't shorten your time. What does that mean? It doesn't mean don't die before your time. It means don't spend your time on what it is not meant for.  Yes, you reduces the length of your time when you spend it on the unnecessary, because lost time may not be retrieve. Some dis...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 27th FEBRUARY 2024 RELATE WITH YOUR REALITY 3 John 1:4 I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the truth. (NIV) The Holy Spirit is given to us to guide us into the truth - John 16:13. But it is our responsibility to accept that truth and walk in it. God's word is the truth, that truth is your reality. Relate with it. What God says should be your experience. The Spirit of God expressing Himself through Apostle John says "I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the truth." It is God's desire and joy to see us walking in the truth. He wants you to relate with yourself, circumstances, people, satan and God in the light of your reality in Christ. The reality of who you are in Christ; son of God. In any situation God want you to be yourself; son of God. Relate with that situation in this truth. How you relate, react and deals must be in the light of your reality in C...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 26th FEBRUARY 2024 ALWAYS PRAY FOR MINISTERS 2 Thessalonians 3:1-2 Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may have free course, and be glorified, even as it is with you: And that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men: for all men have not faith. (KJV) The Apostle Paul writing to the church at Thessalonica requested that they offer prayers for him and his team, that the Gospel might have free course and be glorified, that they be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men. Two very important prayer points. And how we need to pray the same for our ministers today! The Gospel cannot have free course and be glorified unless we pray so. The protection, preservation and deliverance of the ministers of the Gospel from unreasonable and wicked men is in our prayers. We can't but pray for them always. We have to make it a habit to pray for ministers and the spread of the Gospel without which we wouldn...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 25th FEBRUARY 2024 ANGELS MINISTER FOR YOU Hebrews 1:14 Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation? (KJV) The Bible referring to Angels calls them ministering spirits sent to minister for us. They don't minister to us, they can't. That's the job of the Holy Spirit. He alone ministers to us.  For example the Angels cannot teach us the word of God, only the Holy Spirit does that.  Angels ministers for us, that is, they go around for us. And they only do that according to our words. We don't necessarily need to call them by name and send them out, no! they are already sent out for us. They wait on our words to act. Whenever we speak they take instructions from our words and go active for us. That's why what we say is very important. You can confuse the ministry of Angels in your life if you speak the wrong words. They wouldn't act but wonder why you tal...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 24th FEBRUARY 2024 BE HAPPY Psalms 9:2 I will be glad and rejoice in you; I will sing the praises of your name, O Most High. (NIV) Don't let your happiness depend on anything otherwise you would have a frustrating time through this world.  Happiness is different from joy. Joy is a fruit of the spirit, it's divine, it's your nature as a child of God. Happiness is an offspring of joy. Happiness is an outward expression of joy.  There is the happiness of favourable circumstances and happenings but true happiness is independent of anything. Like Joy happiness is an ability. And it create for you the right atmosphere to thrive. The enemy always aim at your happiness, if he gets that then he gets you off balance. He cannot carry out his activities around you when you maintain that atmosphere of happiness. So he attacks your happiness first.  It is your responsibility to make yourself happy. You have to be happy, laugh and s...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 23rd FEBRUARY 2024 ANTICIPATE A MIRACLE Psalms 5:3 In the morning, LORD, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait expectantly. (NIV) Maybe you find yourself in a tight situation and don't know what exactly to do, don't panic. Pray, lay your requests before God and anticipate a miracle.  It got to be a miracle. When you have exhausted all your ideas, resources and it seem time is against you. When people and circumstances fail to help out, then it got to be a miracle. It's not a miracle when you know where or how it would come. It's not a miracle when you know the channel that God would use. You are ready for a miracle when all your hope is solely and completely on God, the source, not knowing the channel He would use but you trust that He can and He's willing.   You come to that place where all you expect is a miracle. You know God is faithful and He will do it, but you have no hum...
