DIVINE WORD MINISTRIES

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 9th FEBRUARY 2026 DON'T PUT OUT GRACE Galatians 2:21 I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness could be gained through the law, Christ died for nothing!" (NIV) The major problem of some Christians is not the challenges they face in life but not rightly applying the truth of the Gospel of Christ. A lot of them set aside the grace of God. No Christian can become anything without Grace, and humanity cannot exist without mercy.  Out of ignorance some set aside the grace God made freely available to them, yet they complain of the troubles they go through. The Bible says "for if righteousness could be gained through the law, Christ died for nothing." Yet there are those who haven't accepted the righteousness of God that is by faith in Jesus Christ. They set that Grace aside; they put it out. Don't put aside God's grace in your life. There are manifold graces, that is, many-sided graces, or i...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 8th FEBRUARY 2026 FOREVER VICTORIOUS Acts 2:24 But God raised him from the dead, freeing him from the agony of death, because it was impossible for death to keep its hold on him. (NIV) Jesus' resurrection from the dead was the final piece of His victory for mankind. When He died He went to hell, defeated and disarmed Satan and his cohorts. And rose victorious; the icing on the cake. This great victory is for us. In Christ we are forever victorious. When He died; we died, we were buried with Him, when He defeated Satan and his cohorts we did, when He rose, we rose together with Him. The Bible declares "it was impossible for death to keep its hold on him." In Christ we have conquered death, satan, darkness and everything that binds or hurts. Romans 6:4 We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 7th FEBRUARY 2026 YOU HAVE THE WORD-NATURE James 1:18 He chose to give us birth through the word of truth, that we might be a kind of firstfruits of all he created. (NIV) Relating with the truths of the Bible startles the mind. The natural mind cannot comprehend the truths the life of Christ has brought us into. Reading our opening verse blows the mind. "He chose to give us birth through the word of truth, that we might be a kind of firstfruits of all he created." - James 1:18. Having been born of the Word you have the Word-nature.  The Word which gave birth to you is the same that was with God from the beginning. John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. This is the Word that you came from. Think about it! What manner of person are you? You have the nature of the Word, thus, you are a word of God; an epistle of Christ, known and read by all. 1 Peter 1:23,25 For you have been...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 6th FEBRUARY 2026 GIVE EXPRESSION TO THE WORD Colossians 3:17 And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him. (NIV) First you were born of the Word - James 1:18 says "Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures." Then, God expects you to express the word in whatever you do, whether in word or deed.  God gave birth to you by His word so that you could be an expression of the Word. Whether in speech or action; it should be an expression of the Word. Your purpose in life is actually to do the Word. If you approach life this way you would find yourself fulfilling God's dream for you. The Word mandates you to preach the Gospel, love, bless, heal and express God. If you do the word in accordance with these you would be fulfilling your purpose in life; for this is the primary pu...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 5th FEBRUARY 2026 THAT ROCK WAS CHRIST 1 Corinthians 10:4 and drank the same spiritual drink; for they drank from the spiritual rock that accompanied them, and that rock was Christ. (NIV) The Israelites journeyed in the wilderness, drank from a rock twice, but did not know that the Rock was Christ. How telling this is! God does amazing and profound things seamlessly. How could the Almighty God manifest in a Rock? That's why He is God.  Exodus 17:6 I will stand there before you by the rock at Horeb. Strike the rock, and water will come out of it for the people to drink." So Moses did this in the sight of the elders of Israel. Water did came out of it. It was a spiritual drink (water), which means it was not an earthly water but the Israelites did not read any spiritual meaning to it. To them it was just another water but it was not. At times we take for granted the supernatural things that happen with us and around us. If o...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 4th FEBRUARY 2026 THE REQUIREMENT FOR SUCCESS 2 Corinthians 4:13 It is written: "I believed; therefore I have spoken." Since we have that same spirit of faith, we also believe and therefore speak, (NIV) A successful walk with God requires faith. Living a successful Christian Life and fulfilling an individual christian calling requires faith. Faith is the requirement for success in life.  A lot of people look for ways to make success out of their lives and endeavour, but faith is a sure answer. There is such a thing as 'the spirit of faith.' It is an unction of faith which works with the Word that is in your heart. You received faith when you got born again and when you meditate on the Word it stirs that faith to well up in you. That welled-up faith is the unction or spirit of faith, it speaks and produces result. That is what you require for success in life. Hebrews 11:6 And without faith it is impossible to pleas...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 3rd FEBRUARY 2026 HE IS A REWARDER Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. (KJV) God rewards faith. Those who seek God do so because they believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder. Anyone who seeks God has faith in Him. If you seek God it is your response to His Word; it is an active faith. God is a rewarder of faith. Abraham believed God and it was credited to him as righteousness.  Keep putting your faith to work; keep acting your faith. Faith pays! People may not see the degree of your faith but God does. Enoch walked with God and did not see death. The people of his day did not know that His faith had reached the level of translation. Read this, Genesis 5:24 Enoch walked faithfully with God; then he was no more, because God took him away. You might not know the reward your active faith is...
