BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 15th JANUARY 2025 TRAMPLE UPON THEM Luke 10:19 I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you. (NIV) The Lord has given each and every one of us the authority (legal right) and power to trample upon satan and his works. We have the legal right to destroy the devil's work using the Name of Jesus.  The Lord Jesus didn't say He will trample the devil or works for us. He said He has given us the power to do so, and that satan's power cannot harm us. We shouldn't sit around and watch satan run our lives, families, cities and nations. Your first reaction when you find satan oppressing people or running a city should be provocation. Be spiritually provoked against satan and His works; express holy anger against oppression, injustice, evil, sickness and the manipulation of darkness. That's the first step to working in God's power agains...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 14th JANUARY 2025 THE GOOD LIFE; PROSPERITY AND HEALTH 3 John 1:2 Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. (KJV) The central point of the good life God has called us into is prosperity and good health. God desires these two for us. If you are prosperous but unhealthy you can't enjoy your prosperity. And if you are healthy but unprosperous and poor you can't enjoy your health. A complete good life is prosperity and good health. That's what God declared for you through John the Apostle. 3 John 1:2 Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. Prosperity and good health is not only a good life God prearranged for you but also a requirement to fulfilling God's purpose for your life. If you are sick you can't do what the Lord wants you to do, if you are poor you can't afford to fulfill your d...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 13th JANUARY 2025 TAKE YOUR DESTINY IN YOUR HANDS 1 Samuel 10:6-7 The Spirit of the LORD will come powerfully upon you, and you will prophesy with them; and you will be changed into a different person. Once these signs are fulfilled, do whatever your hand finds to do, for God is with you. (NIV) Prophet Samuel said the above words to Saul. He said to him "...As you approach the town, you will meet a procession of prophets coming down from the high place with lyres, timbrels, pipes and harps being played before them, and they will be prophesying. The Spirit of the LORD will come powerfully upon you, and you will prophesy with them; and you will be changed into a different person. Once these signs are fulfilled, do whatever your hand finds to do, for God is with you." -- 1 Samuel 10:5-7. And it happened exactly so. He met group of Prophets prophesying and he prophesied with them. What I want you to note is that he said ...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 12th JANUARY 2025 RIGHTEOUSNESS EXALTS Proverbs 14:34 Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin condemns any people. (NIV) There are two dimensions of righteousness; the nature of righteousness and the fruits or deeds of righteousness. And both exalts. Righteousness as a nature exalts. The fruits of righteousness exalts as well. There is absolutely nothing in all the earth which exalts or promotes like righteousness. Our opening scripture says "righteousness exalts a nation." If righteousness could exalt or promote a whole nation think about what righteousness could do to an individual. And yet the righteousness our opening scripture refers is righteous deeds (fruits of righteousness), and the impact of the nature of righteousness is far greater. If a nation would do right (right deeds and justice) they would be exalted and promoted even if they do not have God's nature of righteousness. Then think about a person or peop...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 11th JANUARY 2025 THE PLANTING OF THE LORD Isaiah 61:3 To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified. (KJV) The Bible calls us trees of righteousness, and that we are the planting of the Lord. That tells us that righteousness is not of ourselves but of the Lord. No tree ever planted itself. We are trees of righteousness and it is God who planted us.  Note in the verse below that righteousness is the topic of discussion and that Christ is the righteousness that came down from heaven. Let us read. Romans 10:6-7 But the righteousness that is by faith says: "Do not say in your heart, ’Who will ascend into heaven?’" (that is, to bring Christ down) "or ’Who will descend into the deep?’" (that is, to bring Ch...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 10th JANUARY 2025 WALK IN THE LIGHT 1 John 1:7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin. (NIV) The light referred in the above verse is reality. Simply put if we walk in the reality as He is in the reality. What is reality with God? It means how things are before God. As new creatures we don't live or walk by our physical senses; we walk in His reality. What is God's reality concerning your health? How is your health before God? He sees you perpetually healthy. If we walk in the light of God's reality; if we relate based on how things are before Him everything contrary to light or good will disappear. We struggle when we don't walk in the light of God. If we walk in His light darkness will be defeated, darkness doesn't fight or resist light. When light is on darkness leaves. Instead of complaining about the ...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 9th JANUARY 2025 A NEW PROJECT Isaiah 43:19 See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland. (NIV) There are two main reasons God starts a new project in a person's life; if a person couldn't walk in what He is doing and it failed or when He decided to do a greater thing in a person's life.  If you failed in the assignment God has given you, don't dispair, He can start a new project. If you are accomplishing the assignment He gave you, then get ready for a greater project. God is about to begin a new project in your life.  Remember we are His instruments or vessels used for His great work. He is the doer but it's done through us. In Isaiah 43:19 He says "See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland." He didn't say see ...
