BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 14th APRIL 2026 HIS WILL NOT TROUBLE-FREE 1 Thessalonians 5:18 give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. (NIV) When you follow God's will as revealed in the scripture or heard His voice directly asking you to do something and heed to it, that doesn't mean you won't have trouble. You might wonder "I know very well this is God's will yet I am facing challenges." Challenges are not exempted from God's will. If He asks you to walk on a path it doesn't mean it's going to be a trouble-free walk.  In all the paths we walk in life and all the challenges on them He asks us to give thanks irrespectively. He didn't expect us not to face challenges but that we triumph over them. There is no path that God would ask you to walk that you wouldn't find trouble. What you do is give thanks to Him for what the trouble will produce and then triumph over it.  Read our...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 13th APRIL 2026 YOU ARE THE SEED OF ABRAHAM Galatians 3:16,29 The promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed. Scripture does not say "and to seeds," meaning many people, but "and to your seed," meaning one person, who is Christ. ...If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise. (NIV) We are not Abraham's seeds but Abraham's seed. Abraham has one spiritual seed and that seed is Christ. If you are in Christ you are the seed of Abraham. All the blessings and promises God gave to Abraham are actually fulfilled in you. The promise of blessing God made to Abraham was of two sides; physical and spiritual.  Genesis 13:15 For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed for ever.  Abraham and his physical seed did enjoy the physical side of the blessing. But the spiritual side was reserved for the spiritual seed; those in Christ. The spirit...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 12th APRIL 2026 (It's Pastor Stanley's birthday today) THE WORD GUARANTEES YOUR PROSPERITY 3 John 1:2 Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. (KJV) When the subject of prosperity is brought up some Christians object it. They believe that prosperity shouldn't be given a priority in the church but salvation. But true salvation is prosperity. Their judgment and argument are not based on the scripture. Reading our theme scripture no one should argue that God want His children to prosper and be in health.  God's Word is the revelation of God's mind and intent. His Word says He wants you prosperous and in health, but not just that His Word also guarantees your prosperity. God's word concerning you is more than His wishes and desire but a dream and a reality He has enabled you to live. He wants you prosperous, in health even as your soul prospers. You...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 11th APRIL 2026 GATHER LITTLE GATHER MUCH Exodus 16:18 And when they measured it by the omer, the one who gathered much did not have too much, and the one who gathered little did not have too little. Everyone had gathered just as much as they needed. (NIV) Everyone is in pursuit of something. In your endeavor or pursuit learn to gather little and learn also to gather much. Learn to take advantage of seemingly little opportunities as well as the big ones. Success is a product of plan and preparation. No one succeed by chance. Plan big but don't despise little opportunities that might come your way, they might even be your stepping stone to bigger opportunities. If you gather little by little you won't have little, if you gather much you won't have too much.  In life be prepared for what might come. So it's important you diversify your plans and investments. If you have just one plan to succeed in this life and it fai...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 10th APRIL 2026 GRACE FOR REIGNING Romans 5:17 For if, by the trespass of the one man, death reigned through that one man, how much more will those who receive God’s abundant provision of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man, Jesus Christ! (NIV) When Adam transgressed the command of God death came into the world through him, and death reigned. Those who has received Jesus as their Lord received grace and rightousness to reign in life. Grace is for reigning! Grace and righteousness cannot be earned. They are free gifts of God. These two brought man out of condemnation and judgment. Judgement came to the first Adam through his transgression, and brought death which reigned until the law of Moses. -- 'Romans 5:14 Nevertheless, death reigned from the time of Adam to the time of Moses, even over those who did not sin by breaking a command, as did Adam, who is a pattern of the one to come.' Jus...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 9th APRIL 2026 LEVERAGE ON GRACE 2 Timothy 2:1 So, my child, draw your strength from the grace that is in Christ Jesus. (CEB) If there is a trading platform where you could invest a minimum of $1,000 and get $10,000 in return in a short period of time and you like to invest but have just $100. If the trading platform offers you the $900 to make it up then you struck the deal and got your own dividend from the returns. What actually happened is that you leverage on the platform. You can leverage on grace in like manner.  You will always have things you are required or supposed to do in life that you won't be sufficient for. You want to start up a business but no enough capital, you want to go to school but no enough money, you want to start an organization no enough information. Leverage on grace! In the many things you fall short leverage on grace.  You tried to do all the right things you could, you want to be rightousnes...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 8th APRIL 2026 HE GAVE LIFE NOT RULES 1 John 5:11-12 And this is the testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life. (NIV) A lot of Christians struggle to live the Christian Life because they see God's word as rules to be obeyed. The word of God is not a rule but a statement of the reality of who you are. God's word says walk in righteousness because you are His rightousness. He wouldn't tell you to do something that is not in you already. The Word only ask you to express yourself. Our theme scripture says "God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. Whoever has the Son has life." Do you have the Son? Do you believe in Jesus? If yes, then you have eternal life. What are you supposed to do? Live it; live eternal life. Live beyond the human life. Don't look for rules in the Bible to g...
