BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 31st OCTOBER 2025 IT WILL END IN PRAISE Psalms 30:5 ...weeping may stay for the night, but rejoicing comes in the morning. (NIV) Challenges will always surface in a man's life but if he sticks to God those challenges end in praise. No challenge has the ability to pull down a man who refuses to be pulled down. Challenges are normal but to be brought down under them is abnormal.  Trouble always comes, weeping may stay for the night but rejoicing always come in the morning. There is that night in every man's life. That time when everything seems unclear. You try to find clarity and certainty going forward but to no avail. It is that time when everything seems to fail. That night is the time when you are alone in a situation. But it doesn't end there, morning follows after every night. Every night has a morning. No night without a morning. That is, no trouble, predicament or situation without an end. There is an end to ever...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 30th OCTOBER 2025 YOU ARE NOT A SPECTATOR Hebrews 12:1 Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, (NIV) The great cloud of witnesses referred in this above scripture are the saints who have gone to heaven, our Fathers of faith; Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Peter, Paul, John and all the rest. The Bible says we are surrounded by them. They are our spectators, they cheer us on in our walk of faith. They are done with their work here on earth and are now spectators. But there are those on earth who have made themselves spectators. Life is not for lookers. You don't look, you participate. Get involved! Earth belongs to those on earth. You have a say in the earth. What you do or say has impact in this world. Don't be a spectator; don't watch. Take up a role and play ...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 29th OCTOBER 2025 HE IS COMMITTED TO YOUR LIFE Philippians 1:6 being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus. (NIV) God has greater desire for you to succeed in life than you could ever have. The good course you pursue in life are inspired in you by God. Because we don't see God with our optical eyes we don't know how much He is committed to our success. God wants you to succeed and He works to that effect. You might be faced with great challenges in your pursuits in life. And then you think of giving up or charting a different course. But He is always at work in you to bring to pass those good works He began. He is committed to your success.  Maybe you got a clear approval from God on the project you embarked on but midway you couldn't make any head-way. Don't get confused and wonder if God abandoned you. Just because there are challenges ...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 28th OCTOBER 2025 USE HIS WORDS Jeremiah 1:9-10 Then the LORD reached out his hand and touched my mouth and said to me, "I have put my words in your mouth. See, today I appoint you over nations and kingdoms to uproot and tear down, to destroy and overthrow, to build and to plant." (NIV) God's word is your right and authority. Whenever He gives you His word concerning anything, that word is your authority over that thing. When He puts words in your mouth He has put power in your mouth. You can't be any more powerful than God's word in your mouth.  He wanted Prophet Jeremiah to uproot and tear down, to destroy and overthrow, to build and to plant. All He did was to reach out His hand and put His words in his mouth. By those words He appointed him (gave him authority) over nations and Kingdoms. His word is His appointment. When you receive God's word you receive an appointment (an authorisation) to carry out ...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 27th OCTOBER 2025 YOU ARE HIS OWN BODY Ephesians 5:29-30 No one ever hates his own body, but feeds and takes care of it. And that is what Christ does for the church, because we are parts of his body. (NCV) The Bible says that Jesus is the head of His body; the church. Of which every one of us is an essential member. This is not figuratively nor will it be a reality when we get to heaven. It is here and now; it is our now and forever reality. It began when Jesus was raised from the dead, for we were raised together with Him.  Ephesians 5:29-30 says "No one ever hates his own body, but feeds and takes care of it. And that is what Christ does for the church, because we are parts of his body." This couldn't be any more explicit. It says it all. We are parts of His body and He cares for us like anyone would his body. We are parts; that is, the constituents of His body. Without us Jesus is not complete just as true as a hea...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 26th OCTOBER 2025 A PRE-ARRANGED LIFE Ephesians 2:10 For we are God's [own] handiwork (His workmanship), recreated in Christ Jesus, [born anew] that we may do those good works which God predestined (planned beforehand) for us [taking paths which He prepared ahead of time], that we should walk in them [living the good life which He prearranged and made ready for us to live]. (AMP) The life of a Christian is planned and arranged in a perfect setting before he started out. A Christian is God's workmanship, an instrument born anew in Christ for good works. Born in Christ Jesus means he came into being as a result of Jesus' death and resurrection. He began in His resurrection. God has specification in Christ resurrection. He specified that a new creature should begin at Jesus' resurrection and the Christian is that new creature. Before we got born again we already exist in the mind of God. He already envisioned with a co...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 25th OCTOBER 2025 DUTY OR DELIGHT Colossians 3:22 Slaves, obey your earthly masters in everything; and do it, not only when their eye is on you and to curry their favor, but with sincerity of heart and reverence for the Lord. (NIV) The word rendered "slaves" in this above scripture is simply "servants" and by extension "employees." If you are not working for yourself but for someone then you are an employee. This scripture addresses employee's attitude toward his job. God doesn't want you to work for eye-service; trying to please your employer. No! But with sincerity and reverence for the Lord.  You see, a lot of people work for duty but work should be a delight. Their work is about fulfilling their duty even by deceitful ways. The attitude God want you to have towards your job is sincerity and reverence for Him as though you were working for Him not man. When you have this attitude your work b...
