BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 17th MARCH 2026 MAN SHOULD NOT LIVE ON BREAD ALONE Matthew 4:4 Jesus answered, "It is written: ’Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.’" (NIV) Even though the Word instructs that man should not live on bread alone many live their lives on bread alone. Food is for the body. But man is not a body. His body houses his spirit (his real self). Earthly food sustains and keeps his body alive, and spiritual food (God's word) sustains and keeps his spirit (his real self) alive. And though he has two-self; outward and inner self to feed, he feeds only his body (outward self).  A child of God should not live on bread alone. A man who lives on bread alone cannot know let alone fulfill his purpose of coming to this world. Life is not meant to be lived on bread alone, true living is by the word that comes from the mouth of God.  True living is by God's word; words of revelation, w...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 16th MARCH 2026 FABRICATED FOR THE GOOD LIFE Ephesians 2:10 For we are God's [own] handiwork (His workmanship), recreated in Christ Jesus, [born anew] that we may do those good works which God predestined (planned beforehand) for us [taking paths which He prepared ahead of time], that we should walk in them [living the good life which He prearranged and made ready for us to live]. (AMP) The good life is the God life. Everyone who is born again is born with the good life. And he is sufficient to live it because he is fabricated and fashioned for it. A Christian shouldn't struggle to live the God life because it is his natural life. God recreated us in Christ Jesus, [born anew] that we may do those good works which God predestined (planned beforehand) for us [taking paths which He prepared ahead of time], that we should walk in them [living the good life which He prearranged and made ready for us to live. Living the good life...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley  15th MARCH 2026 DON'T HIDE YOUR LIGHT Luke 8:16 "No one lights a lamp and hides it in a clay jar or puts it under a bed. Instead, they put it on a stand, so that those who come in can see the light. (NIV) You find people who are good in what they do; their endeavour or field of work but hidden. He is a good auto mechanic but has no shop. Another fellow is a great engineer but has no tools. They are good in their profession but hidden. Same is true of some Christians. One Christian is a light which is enough for the whole world but a hidden light makes no impact. Every Christian is a light but not every Christian is a shining light. Some are hid and shielded by life worries; what to eat, drink, wear, fame, self-imposed pursuits, and the challenges that follows them. Those who are supposedly to be light to their family, city, nation and world are hidden. For life troubles they hid their light. Don't hide your light. Cau...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 14th MARCH 2026 SHINE AMONG THEM Philippians 2:14 so that you may become blameless and pure, "children of God without fault in a warped and crooked generation." Then you will shine among them like stars in the sky (NIV) At times we complain about the wrongs and evil happening around the world; the hatred, murder, theft, lies, betrayal, and the likes. These are only proof of darkness. And as children of God we are mandated to bear light in this world, and as such convey kindness, love, blessing, life, grace, truth and the likes.  The Bible says our generation is warped and crooked but that we should shine among men in spite of darkness. Darkness and its work will continue in the earth unless we shine and prevail over it. The condition of this world and the state of our lives depend on us to a great extent. You don't have to complain about the rate at which evil is growing in the earth, rather increase and intensify the...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 13th MARCH 2026 THE GOOD NEWS OF GOD'S GRACE Acts 20:24 However, I consider my life worth nothing to me; my only aim is to finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me —the task of testifying to the good news of God’s grace. (NIV) Every child of God has received a task to testify to the Good news of God's Grace. And the only true aim in life for a child of God should be to finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given him. If every christian live for this how gloriously would the church advance every day! The Good News of God's Grace is every reason we are here on earth. We not only preach the Good News of the Grace of God but also live it. We came from the Good News; we are a result of the Good News (the Gospel) of Christ. In the Gospel we have salvation, righteousness, sanctification and redemption, and blessings untold. The Good News is our life. Our life is good news.  You think...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 12th MARCH 2026 WITHOUT GRUMBLING OR COMPLAINING Philippians 2:14-15 Do everything without grumbling or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure, "children of God without fault in a warped and crooked generation." Then you will shine among them like stars in the sky (NIV) Grumblers are less effective in any given assignment or endeavour. They tend to see only things that aren't done properly, and also see themselves as targets of injustice. They feel they are unjustly maltreated. And resort to complaints. God doesn't want this kind of attitude for His children. He says "Do everything without grumbling or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure, "children of God without fault in a warped and crooked generation." Then you will shine among them like stars in the sky" People complain against others for their own insufficiency. When they are given a task to carry out they compla...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 11th MARCH 2026 RIGHTEOUSNESS REVEALED IN THE GOSPEL Romans 1:17 For in the gospel the righteousness of God is revealed —a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written: "The righteous will live by faith." (NIV) The reason for sin, moral deficiency, failure and oppression of the devil is the absence or ignorance of righteousness. God's righteousness is the answer for riches, blessings, power, dominion and light. Righteousness makes you everything God wants you. And it is revealed and received through the Gospel.  The various governments and institutions in the world set up laws to have people do the right things and make their society secure and safe to live in. Yet all their laws and regulations, and the severe punishments for offenders could not make people do what is right. The only thing that makes a man do right is God's nature of righteousness. And it is a gift revealed in the Gosp...
