BREAKFAST WITH JESUS

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 29th JANUARY 2026 DECLARED NOT GUILTY Acts 13:38-39 "Therefore, my friends, I want you to know that through Jesus the forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you. Through him everyone who believes is set free from every sin, a justification you were not able to obtain under the law of Moses. (NIV) When the scripture says "set free from every sin" it means set free from every accusation of sin. That means declared not guilty; justified. In Christ, you are justified from every accusation of sin. It is as if you were brought before a law court. And your accuser presented his accusations against you saying, you did this and that, you said this and that. But upon thorough investigation the judge declared you not guilty of the charges labeled against you. That's what happened with you in Christ.  Through Jesus Christ you have remission of sins. Through Him you are justified, set free from every sin and declared not guilty...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 28th JANUARY 2026 THE STATE OF A SINNER Ephesians 2:12 remember that at that time you were separate from Christ, excluded from citizenship in Israel and foreigners to the covenants of the promise, without hope and without God in the world. (NIV) Reading this above scripture and seeing the state of a sinner should inspire us to go out and win them for Christ. They are the reason Jesus died. Matthew 9:13 But go and learn what this means: ’I desire mercy, not sacrifice.’ For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners." He came to call sinners out of their state of doom.  Apostle Paul speaking to the Ephesian church in Ephesians 2:12, reminded them of the state they were before they received Jesus and got saved. It's a state or condition you shouldn't wish anybody. He said "remember that at that time you were separate from Christ, excluded from citizenship in Israel and foreigners to the covenants of the promi...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 27th JANUARY 2026 LOOK AWAY FROM THEM Hebrews 12:2 Looking away [from all that will distract] to Jesus, Who is the Leader and the Source of our faith [giving the first incentive for our belief] and is also its Finisher [bringing it to maturity and perfection]. He, for the joy [of obtaining the prize] that was set before Him, endured the cross, despising and ignoring the shame, and is now seated at the right hand of the throne of God. (AMP) In a world where there are many things that seeks to distract, one has to deliberately keep focus on Jesus. Things that would distract you would come freely, you will have to make conscious effort to look away from them.  Hardship or hard times could be a distraction from what the Lord has laid in your heart to accomplish. Good things and good times could also be a distraction. You have to manage what you give attention to. It might seem good but could be distracting. The Bible says "Looking...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 26th JANUARY 2026 ALL YOU REQUIRE Numbers 14:8 If the LORD is pleased with us, he will lead us into that land, a land flowing with milk and honey, and will give it to us. (NIV) When the twelve returned whom Moses had sent to explore the land they wanted taken over, ten of them gave Moses and the Israelites a very bad and distressing report.  Read Numbers 13:27-28,31, "They gave Moses this account: "We went into the land to which you sent us, and it does flow with milk and honey! Here is its fruit. But the people who live there are powerful, and the cities are fortified and very large. We even saw descendants of Anak there. But the men who had gone up with him said, "We can’t attack those people; they are stronger than we are." Then Joshua and Caleb who were among the twelve spoke up and pin-pointed all that they required. They said "If the LORD is pleased with us,..."  Numbers 14:6-8 Joshua son of Nun ...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 25th JANUARY 2026 THE HAPPENING DOESN'T DEFINE YOU Judges 6:12 When the angel of the LORD appeared to Gideon, he said, "The LORD is with you, mighty warrior." (NIV) Don't let the happenings around you define you, if you do you will be subject to them and unable to change them. But define or change the happenings around you by recognizing and applying who you are in Christ.  When the angel of the LORD appeared to Gideon, he said, "The LORD is with you, mighty warrior." Gideon had become so subject to the happenings around him and all his experiences. With this he belittled himself. He allowed the happenings to define him. You will understand this from his response to the angel, in Judges 6:13, "Pardon me, my lord," Gideon replied, "but if the LORD is with us, why has all this happened to us? Where are all his wonders that our ancestors told us about when they said, ’Did not the LORD bring u...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 24th JANUARY 2026 AT HOME IN HIM 1 John 5:20 We know also that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, so that we may know him who is true. And we are in him who is true by being in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life. (NIV) This above scripture is so beautiful, inspiring and comforting. What could be more than being in God? These are not mere sayings; the above scripture is not a figure of speech or parable.  The Lord Jesus came to give us understanding of the Kingdom and to reveal the Father to us, that we might know Him. And now the Bible says, "And we are in Him who is true by being in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life."  We are in God and God is in us. It is our present-hour reality. Don't look at your body and ask, 'am I really in God?' It is your spirit that is in God, your body is given you to express your spirit.  Apostle Paul spoke in the ...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 23rd JANUARY 2026 A CREATIVE FORCE Genesis 1:3 And God said, "Let there be light," and there was light. (NIV) The spoken Word of God is a creative force. It carries within it the ability to do or create what it says. Everything God created He actually created by speaking forth. They all came to be as He declared. He said let there be light and there was light. His Word created light out of darkness.  2 Corinthians 4:6 For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. He commanded the light to shine out of darkness. His spoken Word is a command, it is a law. When He spoke everything was subject to that law and conditioned to work in conformity to produce light.  And today He has caused that light to shine in our hearts, and that light has given us the knowledge of the glory of God in the revelation of Jes...
