THE MAIN THEME:  CHANGING YOUR WORLD

TITLE: EFFECTIVE CHANGE IS BY FAITH AND WORKS 

Our bible verse for today’s devotional is: James 2:26 (NIV)

"As the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without deeds is dead.”

Devotional:

Change is something we all desire at different points in life—whether in our habits, relationships, or spiritual walk. But real, lasting change doesn’t just happen because we believe it can. It requires both faith and action.

Faith is believing that God is able to transform us. It is trusting that He has the power to help us overcome struggles, break bad habits, and step into His purpose. But faith alone isn’t enough—we must also take action.

 If you pray for success but never put in the effort, change won’t happen. If you desire spiritual growth but never spend time with God, your faith will remain stagnant.

God calls us to partner with Him in the process of change. When we step out in obedience—whether by making better choices, practicing discipline, or trusting Him in uncertainty—He meets us there. True transformation happens when our faith fuels our actions, and our actions demonstrate our faith.

Here are a few reflective questions:

1. What area of your life needs to change right now?
2. What small step can you take today to align your faith with your works?

Let us Pray

Heavenly Father, I pray that my faith will be reflected in my actions, and that my works will be empowered by my faith. In Jesus' name, Amen.

Please say these words of affirmation after me. Say them, mean them, own them and live them:

• I trust God for transformation, 
• I take steps of faith to bring change into my life."

Do have a fulfilling day. I'll see you tomorrow.

TITLE: FACING YOUR FEARS

The bible verse for today’s devotional is: Isaiah 41:13 (NIV)

For I am the Lord your God who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you.”

Devotional

There are different types of fears in the bible but the one our topic for today is referring to is a type of fear that is detrimental and can destroy one’s confidence. It brings worry, torment and unrest.

Everyday of our life we are confronted with one fear or the other. Fear of facing our academics with courage, fear of failure, fear of rejection or isolation by our peers, fear of death or loss of someone.

These are natural to our existence but God knowing that we will face these fears, commands us in Isaiah 41:10 saying Fear not for I am with you Be not dismayed for I am your God, I will

God wants to be famous for his compassion and ability to deliver us. He wants to be famous for showing up in our despair and being our source of overcoming our fears. Remember when Moses had to go back to Pharaoh after his encounter with God at mount Sinai, that was a moment of excruciating fear. He had to face the same king that raised him, whom he had turned his back on because of his love for his brethren. It was not an easy task but Moses had to trust God and embark on the journey of leading the Israelite out of Egypt. It is in God’s nature to come to our rescue whenever we call upon Him Jere 33:3

God has not given us the spirit of fear but the spirit of love and sound mind 2 Tim 1:7 In our text for today God promises to hold us by the hand and help us. What a father we have in Jesus! What a connection!

Here are a few reflective questions:

1. What fears have I exalted above the Almightiness of God?
2. Are there no times God has shown up for me in the past? 
3. Why can’t I trust Him for my present fears?

Let us Pray:

Thank you, Lord, for your word to me today. I receive the spirit of love, power and sound mind. I choose to release all my fears, cares and worries to your helping hands in Jesus name Amen

Please say these words of affirmation after me. Say them, mean them, own them and live them:

• I am held in God’s hand, I shall fear no evil
• I am courageous and bold

Cheers to a beautiful day. I’ll see you tomorrow.

TITLE: THE POWER OF FORGIVENESS

The bible verse for today’s devotional is: Matthew 6:14 

For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you..”

Devotional

But dad, Emmanuel deliberately hurt my feelings, Dinma lamented; he is fun of cajoling me in the presence of his friends, calling me “fatty bombom” I am not happy being fat, and I have been working towards losing weight. I have cut down on my carb intake, I am exercising more now, because he is not seeing the effect does not mean that I am not worried about it. I won’t let his making me look stupid and worthless before his friends slide, Dinma expressed furiously.

This is a typical experience of teens amongst their siblings and friends. Sometimes when your heart aches from pains of unforgiveness it blurs your mind from thinking critically and relating freely. Unforgiveness is like taking pills for someone else’s ailment or drinking poison expecting the other person to drop dead. It is of no value as the negative effect is far more devastating. Does it minimize the effect of offence, no! but you have a choice to let if fester or to trash it by letting it go.

Forgiveness is first about you, it is about your mental health, it’s about your overall well being. While forgiveness is difficult it is the key to releasing freedom, peace, and joy into our lives. This is why forgiveness is not dependent on the apology tendered to you, sometimes the offender might be ignorant of his offence, so choose to forgive ahead of offences so that you can guard your inner peace.

We are all in need of forgiveness. Jesus praying for us on the cross asked God to forgive us for we know not what we do. And he made forgiveness a condition for us to receive forgiveness from God. Do you think you ‘ve got a choice in this matter?  Nope, simply give what you want to receive. Mark 11:25 And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive them, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins. You see, forgiveness is first about you.

Forgiveness is God’s nature, Psalm 86:5 “Oh Lord, you are so good, so ready to forgive, so full of unfailing love for all who ask for your help. Have you accepted God's forgiveness of your sin through Christ Jesus? Have you extended forgiveness to yourself, today and now is the right time to do so.

This is one of the ways we can change our world, when we extend forgiveness to those that hurt us and to ourselves.

Here are a few reflective questions:

1. Who do I owe forgiveness today? You may need to make a call now to that person
2. Have I completely forgiven myself of any past mistake?

Let us Pray:

Thank you, Lord for your word to me today. Thank you for forgiving my sins and demonstrating how to offer it to others,  I receive grace to forgive my offenders and to extend forgiveness to myself in Jesus name Amen

Please say these words of affirmation after me. Say them, mean them, own them and live them:

• I am worthy of love and forgiveness
• I embrace freedom, peace and joy that forgiveness offers me today

I’ll see you tomorrow

TITLE: LIVING FOR AN AUDIENCE OF ONE

The bible verse for today’s devotional is: Galatians 1:10 (NIV)

Am I now trying to win the approval of human beings, or of God? Or am I trying to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ.

Devotional

“I am not living to impress anyone rather for the approval of God Almighty who sees everyone.” This was the exact response of Obinna when the driver conveying the cement to the site he was managing, cajoled him into entering a deal with him.  He had requested that Obinna allow him to keep 25 bags in the truck after he had offloaded the bags of cement, meanwhile he asked Obinna to record that he offloaded all.

  The driver reminded him that as a young man, who just finished his youth service and is about settling down, he should be smart to learn how things are done in the construction industry. He promised him that he would be rewarded handsomely if only he cooperated with him.

Obinna needed not to think about it, as he was angry in his spirit at the level of corruption in the land. He warned the driver sternly, reiterating that he would ensure that that there wouldn’t be diversion of resources meant for this site anywhere else. All this happened during the Christmas season when his bo0ss had gone on holiday with his family leaving everything on site to Obinna’s care.

At the beginning of the year, when the boss had returned, Obinna gave a detailed account of materials he received and he they were deployed.  The boss was so thrilled and immediately offered him a permanent position where he will be earning handsomely. Obinna's decision is a demonstration of how we should live our lives as Christians. It exemplifies his belief and relationship with God. He showed an understanding of the omnipresence God he serves.  It’s a testament that he upgrades good values and can apply delay gratification in the face of temptations.

Living for an audience of one is to live our lives focusing on the approval of God, seeking to please him regardless of man’s opinion. Apostle Paul is reminding us in today's text to be mindful of whose approval we are seeking.

Here are a few reflective questions:

1. Who is taking God’s place in your life? 
2. To whom have you delegated your accountability to?

Let us Pray:

Thank you, Lord for your word to me today. I ask that you forgive me in any way I have put man’s approval above your judgement. I repent today, and I focus on you my number one audience in Jesus’ name Amen

Please say these words of affirmation after me. Say them, mean them, own them and live them:

Please say these words of affirmation.  Say them, mean them, own them and live them

• I am loved and made whole by God
• I live to please Him daily.  See you tomorrow

Have a pleasant day, world changers. I’ll see you tomorrow.
