DIVINE WORD MINISTRIES

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 30th NOVEMBER 2025 PEACE IS AN ANSWER Philippians 4:6-7 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. (NIV) When this text of the scripture is read we don't really pay attention to the answer promised or provided. It says "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God." And went on to promise the answer that would follow. It says "And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." That's interesting! Peace is an answer to prayer and petition. Much more than what we pray for He gives us peace.  He says don't be anxious but present your prayer, petition and reques...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 29th NOVEMBER 2025 POSSESS YOUR INHERITANCE Obadiah 1:17 But on Mount Zion will be deliverance; it will be holy, and Jacob will possess his inheritance. (NIV) Mount Zion means the Church of Jesus Christ. And deliverance -- salvation has come to the church a long time ago, and she is forever holy. And there is an inheritance for every member of the Church, the body of Christ.  Colossians 1:12 giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the saints in light.(ESV) There is a legal inheritance for you. It's not about something that is real and tangible only in the spirit realm but also here on earth. Everything here on earth has a spiritual origin and lineage. You have an inheritance in Christ together with the rest of the saints (Christians) and God wants you to possess it.  A lot of Christians are aware that they have inheritance in Christ but not many of them are in possession of it. Unt...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 28th NOVEMBER 2025 AN EXCELLENT SPIRIT Daniel 5:12 Forasmuch as an excellent spirit, and knowledge, and understanding, interpreting of dreams, and shewing of hard sentences, and dissolving of doubts, were found in the same Daniel, whom the king named Belteshazzar: now let Daniel be called, and he will shew the interpretation. (KJV) Daniel interpreted the mysterious writing on the wall for the king of Babylon. One of the things that enabled him to do so was an excellent spirit. He was described as one with an excellent spirit. An excellent spirit is a keen mind. It's an ability to see and understand things of the spirit.  Every child of God is born with an excellent spirit; he has an inherent ability to see and understand the things of the spirit. An excellent spirit is a keen mind; a mind renewed by the Holy Spirit through the Word. It is the Word-based mind which sees in the light of God's Word. An excellent spirit is requ...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 27th NOVEMBER 2025 LIVE IN HIS STEAD John 20:31 But these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name. (NIV) Having believed in Jesus and confessed His Lordship over your life you received His life. You are not expected to live it as you deem fit. You now live for Him. Living for Christ is more than living to please Him but living in His stead.  We live in His stead. That is, we live in His place; we live as He would because He lives through us. The Bible says "But these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name." To live in His Name means to live in His total Person. That is not the same as representing His person but being His representation. Being His representation means we are His empress image; His exact expression. Such that all that He is and repr...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 26th NOVEMBER 2025 BE AWARE Romans 8:28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. (NIV) Someone bought a solar panel and placed it outside to have contact with the sun. But whenever it's raining he would move it inside the house. One day a friend came to him and it was about to rain he wanted to go and bring it inside, his friend told him he didn't have to that it was waterproof. All these while he was not aware.  The word translated "know" in our opening scripture is the Greek "eido" which means "aware." We are aware that in all things God works for our good. There is no telling what such awareness can do for you.  Are you aware that God made all your needs readily available? Are you aware that you are superior to satan? Are you also aware that you are forever victorious over Satan, disease, the world and everyth...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 25th NOVEMBER 2025 ALREADY FULFILLED 2 Corinthians 1:20 For no matter how many promises God has made, they are "Yes" in Christ. And so through him the "Amen" is spoken by us to the glory of God. (NIV) God has said yes to all the promises He has ever made to man. There is no pending promise. For no matter how many promises God has made, they are "Yes" in Christ. And so through him the "Amen" is spoken by us to the glory of God. All we need to do is say the 'Amen' in agreement. God has said 'yes' in Christ Jesus to all the promises.  When we say they are "yes" in Christ, it means everything God ever promised is now fulfilled in Christ. And all that one needs to do is to enter Christ. They are all already fulfilled in Christ. If you are born again then you are in Christ and the promises are already fulfilled unto you. You might say 'I can't see them, I don't...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 24th NOVEMBER 2025 USE IT TO ADVANCE THE GOSPEL Philippians 1:12-13 Now I want you to know, brothers and sisters, that what has happened to me has actually served to advance the gospel. As a result, it has become clear throughout the whole palace guard and to everyone else that I am in chains for Christ. (NIV) The Apostle Paul said "Now I want you to know, brothers and sisters..." But not every christian can say this. Some Christians do not want anybody to know what they are going through because they are not using it to advance the Gospel. It's not the unfavorable circumstance that happens to you that matters but what you do with it. The situation is not bad because it is bad, it's bad because the affected person does not know how to turn it around for good. For the child of God all things work together for good even when it seems bad.  Use the things that happen with you or to you to advance the Gospel; be it th...
