BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 15th DECEMBER 2024 PRAY AND PROPHESY Job 22:27-28 Thou shalt make thy prayer unto him, and he shall hear thee, and thou shalt pay thy vows. Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee: and the light shall shine upon thy ways. (KJV) Two important things you must do for light to shine on your way are praying and prophesying. You make your prayer unto God and He answers you. You also decree a thing and it is established unto you. Doing these two is very important in the life of a Christian. Praying and prophesying should go together. When you pray to God about something most often He inspire His Word in you to speak forth. Speaking forth those words is prophecy; by those words you decree a thing and it is established unto you. You are the first person to prophesy God's word concerning your life. So when you pray prophesy; speak forth words of power. One of the works of the Holy Spirit in your life is to e...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 14th DECEMBER 2024 YOU ARE THE ANSWER Isaiah 60:1-2 "Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the LORD rises upon you. See, darkness covers the earth and thick darkness is over the peoples, but the LORD rises upon you and his glory appears over you. (NIV) You know when you think of the darkness in the world and all the evils resulting from it you might get tired and worn out. Looking at the above scripture it talks about the darkness in the world and talks about the light. And you are the light. You are the answer. All that some Christians know to do is to complain about the evils and problems in the world. Don't be such a Christian, know who you are. You are the light of the world; you are the answer to the evils and problems in the world. The Bible says "arise, shine" if you shine as light that you are, darkness and it works will be defeated. Isaiah 60:1-2 "Arise, shine, for your light has c...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 13th DECEMBER 2024 ONLY GOD SATISFIES Psalms 42:1-2 As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, my God. My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When can I go and meet with God? (NIV) This above scripture was David's declaration, expressing how much his inner self needed God. He says "As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, my God. My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When can I go and meet with God?"  Everyone of us should have this kind of desire, because nothing truly and fully satisfy one's soul or inner self but God. There are a lot of people in this world both rich and poor who are without God and are unfulfilled and unsatisfied with life, but they don't know why. Some of them have all they wanted, had traveled wherever they wanted, have done whatever their heart desired, they have been whatever they craved yet constantly feel a vacuum; an empti...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 12th DECEMBER 2024 PRECIOUS AND HONORED IN HIS SIGHT Isaiah 43:4 Since you are precious and honored in my sight, and because I love you, I will give people in exchange for you, nations in exchange for your life. (NIV) Every Christian is precious and honored in the sight of God as an individual. You are precious and honored in His sight. He looks at you and esteems you as though you were the only one in this world. People may not deem you important to them. They may not honor you but it doesn't matter since you are precious to God and honored in His sight. People fight to gain honor from men but God chose to honor you without you struggling or bargaining for it. Some people look down on themselves because others do not esteem them as something. They value themselves in the light in which people honor them. You don't need the honor or praise of men, God honors you, that's the highest. You are important to God, you are pre...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 11th DECEMBER 2024 BY YOUR WORDS Matthew 12:37 For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned." (NIV) There are many things that are very important to man but words are of utmost importance. The Bible says "For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned." In other words, it means what really matters is your words. It doesn't matter what people say about you or what satan plan against you what truly matters is what you say. Interestingly what God says concerning you doesn't really matter in your life until you agree and say the same thing.  Your whole life is dependent on your words; what you say concerning you matters the most. It is by your words that you are acquitted or condemned. It is by your words that you live in health or ill-health. It is by your words that you become rich or poor. It all depends on your words.  You are truly the onl...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 10th DECEMBER 2024 GOD-INSIDE CONSCIOUSNESS 1 John 4:4 You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world. (NIV) The One who is in you is the real definition of a Christian. A Christian is about the One who is inside. The Christian life is about the life inside. True Christian living is living from inside out. But not every Christian live from inside out. Every Christian has God resident on the inside but not every Christian live it out, because it takes precise or accurate knowledge and consciousness. Some has a mental knowledge that God lives in them but not a precise knowledge. Precise knowledge causes you to participate in and be part of what you know. Precise or accurate knowledge is when you know something such that it becomes a part of you in such a way that you cannot be separated from it. That kind of knowledge brings you into a certain kind of...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 9th DECEMBER 2024 WALK BY THE SPIRIT Galatians 5:16 So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. (NIV) The desires of the flesh are not limited to sexual immorality. Any desire that is not sponsored by the Spirit of God is sponsored by the flesh; it's fleshly desire. It might not even be a bad desire. It might just be a good desire. For example, it's not a bad desire to want to get married. But it could be a fleshly desire if initiated and sponsored by the flesh. There is no special way to not walk in the flesh. There is no special way to identify all fleshly desires because some fleshly desires are good desires. It's easy to identify fleshly desires that are bad or immoral but difficult to identify fleshly desires that are moral. The Bible tells us the only way to not walk by the flesh, it says walk by the Spirit. Galatians 5:16 So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify ...
