BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 21st FEBRUARY 2026 FIND PLEASURE IN WHAT YOU DO Ecclesiastes 3:22 So I saw that there is nothing better for a person than to enjoy their work, because that is their lot. For who can bring them to see what will happen after them? (NIV) The above scripture tells us that there is nothing better for a person than to enjoy their work. God expects you to enjoy your work; to find pleasure and fulfilment in it. God did not intend life for suffering. Suffering is man-made (intentionally or unintentionally). God did not design work to be man's source. Ephesians 4:28 Anyone who has been stealing must steal no longer, but must work, doing something useful with their own hands, THAT THEY MAY HAVE SOMETHING TO SHARE WITH THOSE IN NEED. God intends that we work to meet the needs of others. It is in meeting the needs of others that our own needs are met. Our needs are met through the resulted blessings of helping others. There is a level of bl...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 20th FEBRUARY 2026 MAYBE IT'S NOT TIME YET Ecclesiastes 3:1 There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens: (NIV) There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens, the Bible says. This means, there is a set time for specific things in one's life and a season for certain activities. So when an activity occurs in your life it is not just because you wanted it but that it is its season. That also means when you want something to happen in your life and it doesn't, it means it is not yet its time or season.  Often when we want something we think 'now' is the right time but 'now' may not be the right time or season. Desire cannot overrule time and season, and it shouldn't be allowed. If things happen before their time they won't be matured, not grounded and as such won't endure. Things are only truly beautiful as God made them to ...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 19th FEBRUARY 2026 REVELATION GUIDES Proverbs 29:18 Where there is no revelation, people cast off restraint; but blessed is the one who heeds wisdom’s instruction. (NIV) Restraint means restriction. Revelation here means insight into the true state of things. What do you see? What is your vision? What you see is your revelation. What is the true state of your health? Do you live your life based on what people say? You have to have revelation, knowledge and insight to guide your life. Without which you would cast off restraint. A life that is not restrained shipwrecks. Your life has to be guided; not every way is a way, every direction doesn't leads home. The only thing that can successfully guide your life is the Word of God. It is only the Word that can give you true revelation, knowledge, insights and principles to live by.  Another word to consider with the word 'revelation' in our theme scripture is principle. Throu...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 18th FEBRUARY 2026 HE TAKES SIDE WITH YOU Romans 8:16 The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children. (NIV) It's like in a law court, the complainant brings charges against the defendant, then his lawyer comes out to take side with him; to speak for him.  The Holy Spirit is your lawyer; He takes side with you in the issues of life. He speaks for you.  Though you are born again negative thoughts and voices won't stop coming to you. And one sure thing it does is to condemn you; to make you feel and see yourself lesser than the Word says you really are. If you did something wrong that voice would sprang up and tell you that God's children doesn't do such, that you are not truly a child of God, making you feel terrible of yourself. But the Bible says "The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children." He takes side with you. In everything the Holy Spirit takes si...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 17th FEBRUARY 2026 AS HE IS SO ARE WE 1 John 4:17 Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world. (KJV) Reading this scripture blows the mind. The natural man would never accept its truth. Many would argue, 'how can you say we are as Jesus is?' But it's right there in the Bible. It's the Word that says so. Another reason people don't agree is that they don't really know how Jesus was when He walked this earth.  How was Jesus when He walked this earth? How different was His physical appearance from the people of His day? Physically Jesus was no different. He ate like everyone else, drank water, used toilet. Jesus was tired like everyone else, He was tempted, He was hungry, His clothes were dirty and He washed them. He was born a little baby and grew to become a man like everyone else. If Jesus walked the earth today He won't be ...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 16th FEBRUARY 2026 BURDEN IS ESSENTIAL Matthew 11:28-30 "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light." (NIV) It's important to take note of what the Lord Jesus said in this above scriptures. He invites the weary and the burdened, and offers them rest. But He didn't stop there He asks them to take up His yoke and said "For my yoke is easy and my burden is light." He didn't say there is no burden but that the burden is light. Burden is essential. Someone has to have a burden, a concern, a pursuit. Something you live for. Everyone in the world has a burden. Everyone is living for something. But there are those whose burden wearies and are bent over with loads of life. Jesus says "my burden is light."  Inste...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 15th FEBRUARY 2026 PRAYER KEEPS YOU IN GOD'S WILL Matthew 26:41 "Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak." (NIV) Jesus during His days on earth prayed often, first for fellowship with the Father, second to keep Himself in God's will and purpose. His personal prayer to God was not of needs. He did not ask God for things. Understanding and committing oneself to this higher purpose of prayer is paramount to filling divine purpose.  Your prayer life should be much more than a means to ask things from God. You won't even enjoy the pleasure of praying if it's always about your needs. Just spend time talking to God about His goodness, mercy, love and blessings in your life. Worship, listen and enjoy His presence. Pray often in other tongues. Doing these keeps you in His will.  This is one of the reasons when you are praying to God about a particular t...
