BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley  31st DECEMBER 2025 RECEIVE MERCY Hebrews 4:16 Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need. (NIV) God's throne of Grace is freely opened to us. Because we have Jesus as our High Priest we can approach God's throne of Grace with confidence. Mercy and Grace are available at the throne of Grace. Mercy here is not in respect to sin; as in pardon of sins, but God's tenderness and softness directed towards us.  God's mercy is care, patience, carefulness and concerns towards us. His mercy means we receive help we do not qualify for or even ask for. We are confident to approach God's throne of grace to receive mercy (help that we are not qualified for) because Jesus our High Priest offered Himself as a sacrificial offering procuring for us all that we would ever need. All we do now is to receive mercy and find grace to help in our...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 30th DECEMBER 2025 BE FULL OF PRAISE Psalms 7:17 I will give thanks to the LORD because of his righteousness; I will sing the praises of the name of the LORD Most High. (NIV) Praising God is a conscious and deliberate act. One could easily be full of praise to God when everything is going well. There is that inspiration that follows good happenings. You naturally praise God when you got the job you wanted, you achieved your set-goals, have success in your endeavours. But it takes something extra to praise God when things seem really bad and going contrary to ones plan. It takes more than emotion to praise God. Praising God takes a different tune and tone when praising Him through difficult times. When everything is fine, one could easily be full of emotion towards God and mistake it for praises. As true joy is not dependent on emotions and favourable happenings even so true praises. You praise Him beyond circumstances. True praise ...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 29th DECEMBER 2025 LEARN TO MOVE ON Genesis 26:22 He moved on from there and dug another well, and no one quarreled over it. He named it Rehoboth, saying, "Now the LORD has given us room and we will flourish in the land." (NIV) The above scripture refers to Isaac who dug wells in the place he lived at the time, which the people of that land confronted and quarreled with him over it. Though actually it was his servants who dug it. Genesis 26:19-22 Isaac’s servants dug in the valley and discovered a well of fresh water there. But the herders of Gerar quarreled with those of Isaac and said, "The water is ours!" So he named the well Esek, because they disputed with him. Then they dug another well, but they quarreled over that one also; so he named it Sitnah. He moved on from there and dug another well, and no one quarreled over it. He named it Rehoboth, saying, "Now the LORD has given us room and we will flouri...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 28th DECEMBER 2025 THE FRUIT OF THE LIGHT Colossians 1:13 who delivered us out of the power of darkness, and translated us into the kingdom of the Son of his love; (NIV) Having received Jesus as your Lord God has delivered you from the Kingdom of darkness and has translated you into the Kingdom of His Son, the Kingdom of light. These are two distinct Kingdoms with very contrary characteristics and manifestations. And are known by their respective fruits.  There are fruits of the light which justifies that one is living in this Kingdom. Both are spiritual Kingdoms and the only way to know which of them anyone belongs is the fruits he produces in his life. God requires us to produce the fruit of the light and it is natural for us, for we are children of light. Ephesians 5:8-10 For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light (for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousnes...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 27th DECEMBER 2025 IT'S VALID FOR TODAY 1 Corinthians 15:57 But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. (NIV) God has given us victory through Christ Jesus over every thing that opposes and it is valid for today over the circumstances at hand.  At times one may find himself in a situation that seem insurmountable, and look as though he has no option but to accept the fate. No! The victory He gave us is valid for today. There are those who have been sick for years, they prayed but didn't get any better. They claimed to have used their faith but no positive changes. And have settled to live with it. But the victory He gave us is valid for today. And every sickness has to bow to it. The way to approach opposing forces is to recognize that you have a legal and valid victory over them. Some things could be legal but no longer valid, but the victory He gave us through Christ is forever valid and i...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 26th DECEMBER 2025 THE OUTSHINING OF HIS GLORY Hebrews 1:3 The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven. (NIV) The Bible declares that "Jesus is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of his being." What a declaration! He is the radiance, that is, the outshining of God's Glory. He is the manifestation and revelation of God's Glory. What is God's Glory? God's Glory is the manifested presence or Person of God. When God's presence or Person is made known is His Glory.  Moses said to God show me your glory. God's response was "you can't see my face and live, you can only see my back." That means what Moses requested of God in essence was 'God manifest your presence or Person, I want to see...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 25th DECEMBER 2025 MERCY AND BLESSINGS FOR EVERY DAY Lamentations 3:23 They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. (NIV) God allotted Grace, Mercy, Blessings and provisions for each and every day of our lives. They are renewed every morning and He is faithful to this. You cannot outspend the mercy and blessings of God. There is always more than enough for each day.  Every new day is a renewed love of God for us. Every day is an opportunity to receive His love, mercy and blessings anew. Every day presents you new mercy and opportunity to rewrite your wrongs and mistakes of yesterday. You don't have to wallow in your wrongs of yesterday, His mercy is new today and He offers you freely. God is faithful to your life; He is committed to see you enjoy the blessings and benefits of the Gospel every day. The problem has never been God, it has always been man's refusal to accept the simplicity of the Gospel and its truth...
