BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 15th NOVEMBER 2025 SHINE AMONG THEM Philippians 2:14 so that you may become blameless and pure, "children of God without fault in a warped and crooked generation." Then you will shine among them like stars in the sky (NIV) At times we complain about the wrongs and evil happening in the world; the hatred, murder, theft, lies, betrayal and the likes. These are only proof of darkness. And as children of God we are mandated to bear light in this world, and as such convey kindness, love, blessing, life, grace, truth and the likes.  The Bible says our generation is warped and crooked but that we should shine among them in spite of the darkness. Darkness and its work will continue in the earth unless we shine and prevail over it. The condition of this world and the state of our lives depends on us to a great extent. You don't have to complain about the rate at which evil is growing in the earth, rather increase and intensify...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 14th NOVEMBER 2025 THE GOOD NEWS OF GOD'S GRACE Acts 20:24 However, I consider my life worth nothing to me; my only aim is to finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me —the task of testifying to the good news of God’s grace. (NIV) Every child of God has received a task to testify to the Good news of God's Grace. And the only true aim in life for a child of God should be to finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given him. If every christian live for this purpose how gloriously would the church advance every day! The Good News of God's Grace is every reason we are here on earth. We not only preach the Good News of the Grace of God but also live it. We came from the Good News; we are a result of the Good News (the Gospel) of Christ. In the Gospel we have salvation, righteousness, sanctification and redemption, and blessings untold. The Good News is our life. Our life is good news....

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 13th NOVEMBER 2025 WITHOUT GRUMBLING OR COMPLAINING Philippians 2:14-15 Do everything without grumbling or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure, "children of God without fault in a warped and crooked generation." Then you will shine among them like stars in the sky (NIV) Grumblers are less effective in any given assignment or endeavour. They tend to see only things that aren't done properly, and also see themselves as target of injustice. They feel they are unjustly maltreated. And resort to complaints. God doesn't want this kind of attitude for His children. He says "Do everything without grumbling or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure, "children of God without fault in a warped and crooked generation." Then you will shine among them like stars in the sky" People complain against others for their own insufficiency. When they are given a task to carry out they comp...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 12th NOVEMBER 2025 RIGHTEOUSNESS REVEALED IN THE GOSPEL Romans 1:17 For in the gospel the righteousness of God is revealed —a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written: "The righteous will live by faith." (NIV) The reason for sin, moral deficiency, failure, and oppression of devil is the absence or ignorance of righteousness. God's righteousness is the answer for riches, blessings, power, dominion and light. Righteousness makes you everything God wants you. And it is revealed through the Gospel.  The various governments and institutions in the world set up laws to have people do the right things and make their society secure and safe to live. Yet all their laws and regulations, and the severe punishments for offenders could not make people do what is right. The only thing that makes a man do right is God's nature of righteousness in him. And it is a gift revealed in the Gospel to be ...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 11th NOVEMBER 2025 DO NOT BE AFRAID Revelation 1:17 When I saw him, I fell at his feet as though dead. Then he placed his right hand on me and said: "Do not be afraid. I am the First and the Last. (NIV) At times we face situations that try to instil fear in us, even things intended for our good could even make us afraid like John the revelator who saw Jesus and became afraid. Yes, he was full of awe of Jesus but He was also full of fear. Fear has a connection with lack of precise knowledge. Jesus said to him "Do not be afraid. I am the First and the Last."  And He says the same to you today, "Do not be afraid. I am the First and the Last." Fear paralyzes; it keeps one at a place, unmotivated and unwilling. Fear keeps one away from God's best. So much is lost to fear. But knowledge of the truth produces faith, and faith conquers fear.  The Lord Jesus said "I am the First and the Last, don't be a...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 10th NOVEMBER 2025 LOVE IS AN ANSWER Proverbs 10:12 Hatred stirs up conflict, but love covers over all wrongs. (NIV) There is actually only one reason for the conflict and fight in the world; absence of love. Hatred breeds conflict. If you had a conflict or disagreement with someone it would flair up in a moment if you nurture hatred or resentment towards the fellow. Hatred accelerate conflict but love covers over all wrongs. Love is an answer.  Love is the answer to the fight and feud in the world. If someone did something that offends you don't harbour hatred or plan on revenge, that's not the answer, respond in love. Don't create space in your heart to keep the wrongs done to you, it harms you than it does the opposite fellow. Forgive and let your love cover over it. Love covers over all wrongs. If you find it difficult to let go of the wrongs done to you that means you have got to grow your love some more. Your hear...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 9th NOVEMBER 2025 GOD SPECIALIZES IN BLESSING Isaiah 51:2 look to Abraham, your father, and to Sarah, who gave you birth. When I called him he was only one man, and I blessed him and made him many. (NIV) Blessing is synonymous with God. He loves to bless. He is more willing to bless us than we are willing to be blessed. Blessing is God's idea. When you read through the scriptures you would find that all the people who walked faithfully with God were so blessed of God. In fact in Bible days blessing was a mark of those who serve God, and the same is true today. Listen to God's words in our theme verse again, Isaiah 51:2 look to Abraham, your father, and to Sarah, who gave you birth. When I called him he was only one man, and I blessed him and made him many. Oh there is so much to this! First, He is saying look at Abraham and Sarah examples of the blessed. When I called him he was only one man, and I blessed him and made him ...
