BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 22nd MARCH 2025 BE ORGANIZED AND ORDERLY 1 Corinthians 14:40 But everything should be done in a fitting and orderly way. (NIV) Apostle Paul instructed the church "... everything should be done in a fitting and orderly way." God expects the church to be organized and orderly. Our church settings should be fitting, organized and orderly. The way we conduct our services should be organised and orderly. When we worship we should be organized and orderly. Those who lead in praises, worship and prayer sessions should not lead the church in a haphazard manner; that would hinder the move of the Spirit of God. It is important that we teach these things in our churches.  And this message also applies to individuals. As a person be organized and orderly. God doesn't do much with people who are not organized. If you have a meeting in two hours time don't wait until it's twenty minutes to the meeting before you start getti...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 21st MARCH 2025 WOMAN IS THE GLORY OF MAN 1 Corinthians 11:7 A man ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God; but woman is the glory of man. (NIV) The Bible declares that man is the image and glory of God but woman is the glory of man. In man you see the glory, beauty, goodness and kindness of God but in woman you see the glory, beauty, goodness and kindness of her husband.  Man is the object of God's love and the revealer of God's goodness. And a man who loves his wife reveals his kindness through her. It is in a man's wife you see a man's heart; his glory or his shame. A woman is the praise and honour of her husband; not only to receive his honour but also to bring him honour. A man's life is not truly complete without a woman. A woman not only reveal the glory of man but also bring him glory. Though a man can fullfil his God-given assignment without a woman, there are men who cannot ...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 20th MARCH 2025 JUDGE NOTHING BEFORE THE APPOINTED TIME 1 Corinthians 4:5 Therefore judge nothing before the appointed time; wait until the Lord comes. He will bring to light what is hidden in darkness and will expose the motives of the heart. At that time each will receive their praise from God. (NIV) This above scripture is very instructive and we will do well to heed to it. Judgment is of the Lord and He has appointed a time for it.  Some people do not resist the prompting to judge others. You have to resist that intuition or impulse to judge others.  When the Bible says not to judge that is not the say thing as not to say anything when you see something that is wrong. If you see someone doing what is wrong you are free to correct the person but don't condemn him. The Bible didn't say don't talk or say anything when you see what's wrong rather it says don't judge. To judge means to decide, to pass judgment --...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 19th MARCH 2025 YOU ARE SACRED 1 Corinthians 3:16-17 Don’t you know that you yourselves are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in your midst? If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy that person; FOR GOD’S TEMPLE IS SACRED, and you together are that temple. (NIV) The Bible declares that God's temple is sacred and that you are that temple. You are sacred.  Sacred means God-filled, holy and set aside unto God's use. The physical temple in the old testament was called holy, the furnishings and articles in it were called holy because they were set aside unto God's use and His presence was on them. Read this scripture and take note of the word "HOLY." Numbers 4:15 "After Aaron and his sons have finished covering the HOLY furnishings and all the HOLY articles, and when the camp is ready to move, only then are the Kohathites to come and do the carrying. But they must not touch the HOLY things or ...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 18th MARCH 2025 IN ORDER TO UNDERSTAND 1 Corinthians 2:12 What we have received is not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may understand what God has freely given us. (NIV) Many of us are not living in the provisions of the Gospel, we pray, we even fast, but still we do not fully live in them. The answer is clearly spelled out in our theme verse. We are given the Spirit of God in order that we may understand what God has freely given us. God has already freely given us all things, what we need is to understand what and what He has freely given us. And it is only the Holy Spirit who can help us understand those things and bring us into them.  Apostle Paul knew that it takes the Holy Spirit and His enlightenment of the heart for a Christian to know what God has freely given him. So in Ephesians 1:18 he prayed for the believers, "I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that ...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 17th MARCH 2025 RESOLVE TO KNOW NOTHING ELSE 1 Corinthians 2:2 For I resolved to know nothing while I was with you except Jesus Christ and him crucified. (NIV) In a world where knowledge is everywhere; where there are lots of things to know about. In a world full of different philosophers and their philosophies Apostle Paul said "I resolved to know nothing while I was with you except Jesus Christ and him crucified." There were other things to know but he chose rather to know only Jesus Christ and Him crucified. Think about that! What have you resolved to know? In a world where knowledge is everywhere; where everyone claims to know something and wants to share it, what do you want to know? The world has its own knowledge and wisdom. Would you seek the world's knowledge and wisdom or choose to know Jesus and the things pertaining to His kingdom? It's a choice. And interestingly it is a daily choice. Every day you ...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 16th MARCH 2025 THE GOSPEL; THE CROSS; THE POWER 1 Corinthians 1:17 For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel —not with wisdom and eloquence, lest the cross of Christ be emptied of its power. (NIV) The Gospel is the good news that Jesus died on the cross for man's sins and He was raised from the dead for man's justification. But this same message that saves is foolishness to men of senses. But it is the only power of God to save.  The power of the cross of Christ is that man doesn't have to do anything to be saved from his sins other than to believe and accept that Jesus' death on the cross was for him. But many sees this as foolishness. They even argued that they didn't live before Jesus, how could He had died for the sins they didn't commit. But it is power of God to salvation. 1 Corinthians 1:18 For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are...
