BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 6th MARCH 2026 YOUR FAITH IS YOUR VICTORY 1 John 5:4 for everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith. (NIV) This verse above implies that for you to enjoy your victory in Christ requires your faith. Although everyone who is born of God overcomes the world living perpetually in that victory has to do with personal faith. Everyone who is born of God has equal victory over the world, satan and his evil works. But it's obvious that not every Christian is enjoying or experiencing this victory. And that because the level of victory you enjoy or experience is dependent on your personal faith. When you got born again you were born with faith. But that faith is a seed, and it cannot do everything you would have to do in this world, it won't be enough to win over every contention. You have a responsibility to grow your faith by continuously and consistently feeding on the ...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 5th MARCH 2026 LIVE ABOVE IT Galatians 5:24 Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. (NIV) The flesh has its passions and desires. Those ruled by the flesh are eventually ruined by the flesh. Don't let the flesh control you. The flesh refers to your outward self or human body without the Holy Spirit. You have an inward self and outward self. Even though you are born again and the Holy Spirit dwells in your inward self, if your outward self is not subdued to your inward self it would control you. The flesh (your outward self) always seeks to dominate you. If allowed it would rule over you even though you are born again and when it does rule it ruins.  Those who belong to Christ (those born again) have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If you don't know and walk in the consciousness of this as your reality the passions and desires of the flesh would still be exp...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 4th MARCH 2026 PRAYER IS A SOLUTION James 5:13 Is anyone among you in trouble? Let them pray. Is anyone happy? Let them sing songs of praise. (NIV) When some people find themselves in a precarious situation and in search of solution, and you say let us pray about it. They look at you and say 'I am talking about a serious problem that needs a serious solution and you are saying let us pray.' That's how some people reason. But prayer is a solution; a powerful and quick one.  The Bible says "Is anyone among you in trouble? Let them pray." This is God's solution to problem. He didn't say 'Is anyone among you in trouble? Let them cry, beg, run around or look for money.' Prayer is God's remedy for you in time of trouble. If you find yourself in a problem prayer is what you should employ. To some people prayer is for those who has no option or for the weak. They think you pray because you don'...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 3rd MARCH 2026 INCUBATE Genesis 1:2 The earth was without form and an empty waste, and darkness was upon the face of the very great deep. The Spirit of God was moving (hovering, brooding) over the face of the waters. (AMP) The condition of the earth before the Spirit of God brood over it was pathetic. The one word to describe it is 'chaos.' The Bible says "the earth was without form, empty and darkness was over it." It couldn't be worst than that. God's answer to it was His Spirit. His Spirit hovered, brood over the face of the water. What the Spirit actually did was to incubate over the water; that means to hatch or develop. By incubating He created a condition conducive to bring forth light and orderliness.  When a situation becomes chaotic; empty and without form, incubate. When you look and see only contraries incubate. Incubate; hatch or develop a spiritual atmosphere conducive to bring forth what you...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 2nd MARCH 2026 ROOM TO FLOURISH 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) Isaac dug a well but his neighbouring enemies quarreled over it. He left it for them, moved on and dig another one. But they disputed with him over it also. Again he left it for them, moved on and dug another. This time no one quarreled over it, so he named it Rehoboth, saying, "Now the LORD has given us room and we will flourish in the land." The requirement for flourishing is a room given by God. It comes with rest, and victory over the enemies. Until God gives one rest and room to flourish struggles and contentions continues. A 'room' in our text scripture actually denotes a large and spacious place. And it means freedom and victory over enemies and every contrary. This is what you...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 1st MARCH 2026 BLESSED BEYOND WORDS 2 Corinthians 9:8 And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work. (NIV) Being a Christian you are blessed beyond words. God has blessed you abundantly such that in all things at all times you have all that you need, and abound in every good work. Think about that!  We cannot sufficiently explain in words how much God has blessed us. Even our experience of the blessings cannot even explain it all. I am sure when we get to heaven we would be able to see a great deal of our blessings. Imagine a life where you have everything you need every time not depending on anyone or anything! That's how much God has blessed you.  Let's read our theme scripture again, this time in Amplified translation: 2 Corinthians 9:8 And God is able to make all grace (every favor and earthly blessing) come to you in abundance,...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 28th FEBRUARY 2026 UNLESS THE LORD BUILDS Psalms 127:1 Unless the LORD builds the house, the builders labor in vain. Unless the LORD watches over the city, the guards stand watch in vain. (NIV) Do you ever wonder why people fail so miserably in life in spite of all their efforts? Some believe education is the key to success in life; the more educated you are the more successful you would be. But life has taught us over and over again that education doesn't guarantee success.  Men fail in life because they refuse to give God His due place and role in their lives. Life belongs to God; existence belongs to God, everything belongs to God. Your life did not begin the day you were born of your mother; God saw you before this world began. He has a plan for you. You cannot have a plan for yourself outside His plan. That would be rebellion against Him who made you for His glory. Unless God run your life you would ruin your life. Our the...
