DIVINE WORD MINISTRIES

 BREAKFAST WITH JESUS Daily devotional Pastor Stanley 5th SEPTEMBER 2026 CHRIST IN YOU "Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints: To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:" (Colossians 1:26-27, KJV) For centuries, the deepest secret of God’s redemptive plan was veiled from the world. But through the cross and resurrection, that veil has been torn away. The glorious mystery is no longer distant or theoretical—it is present, personal, and power-packed: Christ in you. This is not a metaphor; it is the living reality of every born-again believer. The same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead now dwells within us, and has transferred us from the kingdom of darkness into the light (reality) of divine nature, power, and purpose. Do not live as though you are striving alone, carrying the weight of your battles, dreams, ...

  BREAKFAST WITH JESUS Daily devotional Pastor Stanley 4th SEPTEMBER 2026   HAVE THE ATTITUDE OF CHRIST   "In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness." (Philippians 2:5-7, NIV)   True greatness is never found in the pursuit of power, but in the pursuit of humility. Jesus Christ, though He possessed the very nature of God and held perfect equality with the Father, did not cling to His rights for personal gain. He did not use His authority to be served; instead, He emptied Himself. He laid aside the display of His glory to take on the form of a servant, becoming human to draw near to us.   In our daily relationships, the world tells us to fight for our rights and demand recognition. But the believer is called to a higher w...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS Daily devotional Pastor Stanley 3rd SEPTEMBER 2026 DON'T NURTURE SELFISH AMBITION "Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others." — Philippians 2:3-4 (NIV) Beloved, the flesh whispers a dangerous lie: that promotion comes by pushing others down. But the Kingdom of God operates on a higher law—the law of love and humility. Selfish ambition is a poison that corrupts the heart and fractures relationships. It makes you a competitor instead of a collaborator, a taker instead of a giver. But Christ calls us to a different path. He calls us to value others above ourselves, to look beyond our own interests and serve the interests of others. This is not weakness; it is the very nature of the New Creation. When you lay down your vanity, God lifts you in His time and His way. When you serve others with humility, you reflect t...

  BREAKFAST WITH JESUS Daily devotional Pastor Stanley 2nd SEPTEMBER 2026   BE LIKE-MINDED   "Make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and of one mind." — Philippians 2:2 (NIV)   Beloved, there is a divine power in alignment. In a world filled with division and conflicting agendas, the believer is called to a higher standard: the standard of oneness.   To "be like-minded" is not simply about tolerating differences; it is about agreeing with God and agreeing with one another. It means setting aside the petty ambitions of the flesh to embrace the "same love"—the very love of Christ that binds us together. When you align your spirit with the Holy Spirit and walk in unity with the Body of Christ, you tap into a reservoir of power that shifts atmospheres and fulfills destiny.   God's joy is complete in us when we are unified. Division stalls progress, but unity unleashes heaven's power. So today, I encourage y...

  BREAKFAST WITH JESUS Daily devotional Pastor Stanley 1st SEPTEMBER 2026   OUR ORIGIN IS IN HEAVEN   "But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ,” — Philippians 3:20 (NIV)   Beloved, the greatest tragedy of the Christian life is not failing; it is forgetting who we are. When the storms of life rage and the world tries to label you by your past, your finances, or your circumstances, the Bible reminds you to look upward.   Paul tells us in Philippians 3:20 that our true citizenship is in Heaven. This means you are not merely an earthling struggling to do good; you are a born-again citizen of Glory temporarily visiting this earth. Your origin is in Heaven. Your nature is a new creation, aligned with the heart of God.   Because our home is Heaven, we do not act like the world. We walk with exceptionalism, knowing that the King of Kings awaits us. We eagerly await our Savior—not just for the rescue He will ...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A Daily devotional Pastor Stanley 31st AUGUST 2026 THE EARTH SHALL BE FILLED WITH THE GOSPEL "For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD as the waters cover the sea." — Habakkuk 2:14 (NIV) This is not a prayer request—it is a divine decree. God did not say the earth might be filled with His glory. He declared it will happen. Just as the waters completely cover the sea, leaving no part dry, the knowledge of God's glory shall leave no corner of the earth untouched. You may look at the world and see darkness, rebellion, or chaos. But God sees the end from the beginning. The Gospel is not on the defensive; it is on the advance. Every soul that comes to Christ, every nation that turns to Him, is a fulfillment of this promise. We are not fighting for victory—we are fighting from victory. God fulfills this promise through you. When you share your faith, when you live righteously, when you pray for the lost, you become a vessel o...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS Daily devotional Pastor Stanley 30th AUGUST 2026 BE CONFIDENT TO ENJOY HIS GOODNESS I remain confident of this: I will see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living." — Psalms 27:13 (NIV) Confidence is a choice. David did not say, "I hope to see" or "Maybe I will see." He declared, "I remain confident." Faith is not a wish; it is a stance. You do not wait for circumstances to change before you believe God—you believe God, and your circumstances align with His word. Notice in the statement: *"in the land of the living."* God's goodness is not reserved for heaven alone. It is for *here and now*. It is for your home, your workplace, your health, your relationships, and your finances. You are not meant to struggle through life waiting for glory. You are meant to walk in victory today. You walk in confidence by confessing His word daily. Your mouth releases what your heart believes. Secondly, by expectation: Wake...
