BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 8th MAY 2026 IF THE LORD DOES NOT HELP YOU 2 Kings 6:26-27 As the king of Israel was passing by on the wall, a woman cried to him, "Help me, my lord the king!" The king replied, "If the LORD does not help you, where can I get help for you? From the threshing floor? From the winepress?" (NIV) It's important to know that only God can truly help a man. Even when a fellow man helps you it is only an extension of God's help. So it's no use setting your focus on man to help you, if the Lord does not help you no man however great or rich can. A woman wanted justice and cried to the king of Israel. His response was "If the LORD does not help you, where can I get help for you? From the threshing floor? From the winepress?" He was simply telling the woman I cannot do anything for you, only God can. Actually the king himself needed help at the time.  You see the people you look to for help also need h...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 7th MAY 2026 THE NAME, THE WORD AND THE SPIRIT Philippians 2:9-11 Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. (NIV) What you require to solve any challenge is the Name, the Word and the Spirit. Irrespective of the circumstance you find yourself in, whether sickness, hopelessness, failure or even the death of a loved one all you need is these three.  Your understanding of the Name of Jesus, the Word (the Gospel of God), and the Spirit of God will have significant impact on your life and the way you relate and deal with the circumstances of life.  You have to understand that the Name of Jesus is sovereign over every name, people, organization, thing, disease and infirmity. What we read in Philippi...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 6th MAY 2026 MORE THAN TWO THOUSAND YEARS AGO 1 Corinthians 15:57 But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. (NIV) When a Christian is faced with a challenge and wants a change he prays to God hoping that He would do something right away. When conflict comes up at his workplace he want God to give him victory over it. But God already gave us victory over every conflict more than two thousand years ago through the Lord Jesus Christ. And it is valid for today and for all time.  The victory we got in Christ is a continuous victory; it is a once and for all time victory which continue over times and circumstances. We are as victorious today as we were more than two thousand years ago when God raised us up with Jesus from the dead.  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. When God raised Jesus ...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 5th MAY 2026 THE SPIRIT OF FEAR 2 Timothy 1:7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. (KJV) There is such a thing as the spirit of fear. It precedes every disaster or calamity that comes to a man. Before any negative thing takes place in the life of a person he is first attacked with fear. It takes fear to die. Anyone who rejects fear rejects death.  When a Doctor diagnose a person with an incurable disease and tell the person you are going to die in three months from now. A lot of times such a person dies before the end of that three months. What actually kill the fellow is not the disease but fear of death. If the Doctor hadn't said anything to him he probably would have lived many years more. Fear kills! If you had school exams to write devil would attack you with fear of failing. If you allow such fear you would actually fail before the exam. When devil wants you to fail...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 4th MAY 2026 WHOLESOME THOUGHTS WHOLESOME LIFE Proverbs 23:7 For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he:... (KJV) Everyone wants their life to be wholesome but not everyone gives careful attention to their thoughts. And not many give premium to their thoughts. Yet the Bible says as a man thinks so is he. Everyone is a product of their thoughts. The circumstances of man's life is defined by his thoughts. He may not be responsible for every thought that comes to him but he is certainly responsible for processing them and the resultant effect in his life.  If you want a wholesome life have wholesome thoughts. The outcome of your life cannot escape your thoughts. You can control what you think because your mind thinks only the information you provide it. Avail yourself to the right information. People who live in constant fear is as a result of the fearful information they have digested over a cause of time. If you listen to the rig...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 3rd MAY 2026 REMEMBER HIS GOODNESS Micah 6:5 My people, remember what Balak king of Moab plotted and what Balaam son of Beor answered. Remember your journey from Shittim to Gilgal, that you may know the righteous acts of the LORD." (NIV) The Israelites on their way to the promised land from Egypt encountered enemies. Kings and people of other nations attacked them many times. One of such was king Balak of Moab. He prepared to attack Israel but fear of them gripped him for they were numerous and strong. He sent for Balaam the prophet and pleaded with him to lay a curse on the Israelites to weaken them. But God would not let him. He ended up blessing them, and concluded in Numbers 23:20 I have received a command to bless; he has blessed, and I cannot change it. Inspite of this and many other things God did for the Israelites; deliverance and blessings, they would not remember. Each time they were faced with hardship or an enemy ...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 2nd MAY 2026 KEEP HOPE ALIVE Romans 5:5 And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us. (NIV) Everyone at some point gets to their stretch. A person may have many disappointments and failures, and concluded "I have had it." He tries to look forward and the road seems bleak and impossible. Recounting the things that didn't work for him he lost hope of the future.  If your hope is based on God's word keep it alive. Everything else you might set your hope would fail. Only the hope built on God's word that will not fail. The Bible says "And hope does not put us to shame," and went further to explain "because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us."  Our hope is in His word; when you receive His word into your heart anticipate its fulfilment.
