BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 31st MAY 2024 A WALK WITH GOD Genesis 5:24 And Enoch walked [in habitual fellowship] with God; and he was not, for God took him [home with Him]. [AMP] The Bible tells us in Hebrews 11:5 By faith Enoch was taken from this life, so that he did not experience death:... Enoch walked with God and did not experience death. God took him to heaven. It was a walk not a run with God. It's not as though Enoch walked the street with God, no! It was a daily walk (fellowship) with God. It was a habitual fellowship. And he did that consistently for three hundred years. No wonder God took him home with Him. He couldn't have let him experience death after a three hundred years walk with Him. We can walk the walk too. It is a daily fellowship with God. It is a walk not a run. It's a walk of process. It's a walk of experiencing God in diverse ways. It is an experiential walk empowered by revelation of His Word. It is a daily walk in t...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 29th MAY 2024 THERE IS GOOD IN IT Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. (KJV) Those who love God and are called according to His purpose also have challenges. When challenges come up don't complain instead look for the good in it. Don't keep your focus on the things that are not working instead look for the good that is being worked for you.  A child of God that loves God and functioning in His purpose can never be disadvantaged no matter what. It might seem failing but it won't fail. It might seem falling but it won't fall. It might seem drowning but it will not. "It might seem." It only seems so. It's working for your good. That's what the Word says and that's what it can be. You might be faced with challenges and trying to get victory over it, you will triumph. But also look for the good in i...

"Yes, I am," he answered. Then the commander said, "I had to pay a lot of money for my citizenship." "But I was born a citizen," Paul replied.

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 27th MAY 2024 BE PRAYERFUL, WATCHFUL AND THANKFUL Colossians 4:2 Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful. (NIV) It takes a strong will to be consistent in prayer. The desire to pray is not enough you must also have the willingness to pray; you will have to choose to pray.  Our theme scripture says "Devote yourselves to prayer..." in other words "give yourselves to prayer." This is not feeling to pray but the discipline to pray. There would be times you won't feel like praying even though you know the problem at hand requires prayer. Another important thing is being watchful. Watch as you pray. Look around you to see the changes that are taking place and the opportunities that are surfacing as a result of your prayer. Answered prayers could come in diverse ways and it is important you watch for your answered prayers. As you pray watch; examine your life to take note of what your prayer is doi...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 26th MAY 2024 RESPOND TO GOD 1 Samuel 3:9-10 So Eli told Samuel, "Go and lie down, and if he calls you, say, ’Speak, LORD, for your servant is listening.’" So Samuel went and lay down in his place. The LORD came and stood there, calling as at the other times, "Samuel! Samuel!" Then Samuel said, "Speak, for your servant is listening." (NIV) The young boy Samuel had not yet learned to respond to God. God called him three times and those times he went to Eli his master supposing he called him. Eli had to teach him how to respond to God. Then God called the fourth time "Samuel! Samuel!" And Samuel responded, "Speak, for your servant is listening." The Christian life is lived by responding to God. God talks to you by His Word and you have to respond to Him by speaking in agreement with His Word. When you respond to God's Word you respond to God. Some want to hear God outside His word...
