TITLE: FORGIVENESS PROCESS

 The bible verse for today’s devotional is: Colossians 3:13 (NIV)

Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.

Devotional:

The second semester was particularly difficult for Kofi. His name had been listed as one of those who cheated during a major exam and there were rumours that those listed would not graduate. D-day came and as rumoured, the school had decided to expel all whose names were on the list. Kofi could not understand why this was happening, as he ‘faithfully’ served God and knew that he did not cheat.

As he was in his room packing his bags, his friend Sam walked in with a rather long face and begged his forgiveness. He explained that he (Sam) had cheated and when he was caught, he had given his name as Kofi and had gone on to provide Kofi’s exam number, to cover his tracks. Kofi was totally devastated, the verdict had been passed and he was leaving school. How could his friend do this to him? His anger knew no bounds.. and as he shouted at Sam and cried, he felt like his heart would literally burst.

He was a Christian and knew about forgiveness but he didn’t feel he could forgive - this level of betrayal was unprecedented he thought.

Kofi’s story is not peculiar; there are times close friends and family would act in ways that ‘bring us to our knees’, sending us into the hole of despair. At that instance, our way out is forgiveness.

But what really is forgiveness? Forgiveness is first a command from God, so when we choose to forgive, we are choosing to obey God. Beyond this, research has shown that forgiveness benefits the offended, more than the offender. When we allow hurt to sit in our heart, it ends up becoming anger and resentment and all those hard emotions that affect our health negatively. 

How do you forgive? The first thing to do is to acknowledge the wrong and how it makes you feel. Find safe ways to deal with the hurtful emotions; make a decision to forgive, and choose to move on. You may speak with a trusted adult or a professional.  Trust God to work it all out for you and ask God to help you.

While you must choose to forgive, you must keep in mind that you don’t always need to reconcile with the offender.

Forgiveness does not mean that what was done to us is ok, it simply means we are choosing not to allow the offender to continue to hurt us.

Here are a few reflective questions:

• Is there someone I need to forgive?
• Is there anyone I have offended?
• Have I offended someone who works with me or supports my journey to destiny or has the person offended me?

Let Us Pray:

Dear God, thank You for forgiving me even when I don’t deserve it. Help me to forgive those who have hurt me. I pray I am forgiven too. Amen.”

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

• I choose to forgive because it sets my heart free.
• My destiny is too precious to be weighed down by bitterness.
• God’s love empowers me to forgive and move forward.

Have a day free of hurts. I’ll see you tomorrow, lovelies.

TITLE: EVERYONE MATTERS

The bible verse for today’s devotional is: Philippians 2:3 (NIV)

"Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility, value others above yourselves."

Devotional:
In our journey through life, it’s tempting to prioritize relationships that seem beneficial to us while neglecting or overlooking others. But God’s word reminds us that everyone matters. Each person we encounter is created in God’s image, with inherent worth and value.

Jesus showed us the ultimate example of valuing others, whether it was dining with sinners, healing the outcasts, or washing His disciples' feet. Following His example, we are called to embrace humility, recognize the value in others, and extend love, kindness, and respect to all.

This doesn’t mean everyone will walk closely with us on our journey, but it does mean acknowledging their importance. When we treat others as significant, we reflect Christ’s love and invite His grace into our relationships.

Here are a few reflective questions:

• Am I treating everyone I encounter as someone valuable to God?
• How can I extend love and kindness to someone I might have overlooked?
• Do I prioritize humility in my interactions, or am I motivated by selfish ambition?

Let Us Pray:
Lord Jesus, thank You for teaching me that there is value in every person. Help me to see others as You see them—with love, kindness, and respect. Teach me to walk in humility, honoring the worth of everyone I encounter. Let my life be a reflection of Your love and grace. Amen.

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

• I honor and value every person God places in my path.
• I walk in humility, extending love and kindness to all.
• I reflect God’s grace in my relationships and interactions.
• I am a vessel of Christ’s love to the world around me.

Do have a fulfilling day. Take good care of yourself and see you tomorrow!

TITLE: THE FOUR VITAL RELATIONSHIP KEYS

 The bible verse for today’s devotional is: Romans 15:5 ((NIV)

May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you the same attitude of mind toward each other that Christ Jesus had,

Devotional:

Man is a relational being - God planned it that way. In Genesis, we are told that God said it was not good for Adam to be alone (Genesis 2:18) so he created Eve - someone like Adam, with whom he could share his life.

Our lives revolve around people- our families, our friends, our colleagues, etc. While it is true that being in relationships is God’s idea for us to have the best experience of life, it is not always easy to maintain these relationships. Today, we will look at 4 vital relationship keys that make the wheel of relationships run a bit smoothly.  

1. Effective communication: We should practice open, honest but respectful communication. When you listen to others, listen actively, hear what they are saying, rather than listening just to respond to what they said.
2. Trust: be consistent, reliable and transparent in your relationships.
3. Mutual respect: acknowledge and value others’ opinions, feelings and boundaries.
4. Empathy and understanding: try to understand others’ perspectives without being judgmental. It is okay if people have a different opinion to yours, show compassion even when you disagree and know that others don’t need to be wrong so that you are right- we can both be right.

These simple tips will work with your family members, your friends or even in work settings. Getting the best out of our relationships is a two-way street, when we invest in our relationships and give our best, we increase the chances of a more harmonious relationship. Will this always work? Perhaps not, as we cannot control how others respond to us; but if we do our best, chances are that we will have less turmoil in our relationships.  

Here are a few reflective questions:

•  How can I show kindness to someone I struggle to get along with?
• What can I do today to improve my relationship with others?
•  Is there a strained or broken relationship that I need to work on? What do I need to do?
•  What boundaries can I set to ensure others don’t

 Let Us Pray:

Dear God, I thank you for your love that makes a difference in me. Help me extend that same love to others in Jesus’ name. Amen.

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

• I will be intentional about all my relationships.
• I choose to love others as God loves me.
• I will listen actively and respond with understanding and grace.
• I will live by the golden rule- relating with others as I desire them to relate to me.

Have a beautiful day lovelies. See you tomorrow.

TITLE: FINDING YOUR TRIBE  

The bible verse for today’s devotional is: Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 (NIV)

Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labour: If either of them falls down, one can help the other up. But pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up.

Devotional:

Have you ever felt out of place or like you don’t quite belong?

It’s a common feeling, especially when you're growing up and trying to figure out where you fit in. That’s where finding your "tribe" comes in. Your tribe is the group of people who love you, support you, and help you become the best version of yourself.

The bible teaches the importance of community and friendship.

Today's Bible reference reminds us that we aren’t meant to do life alone. We need people who will pick us up when we fall, encourage us when we are down, and celebrate our successes. 

But finding your tribe isn’t just about finding friends who make you feel good. It’s about surrounding yourself with people who share your values, support your faith, and help you stay on track. These are the people who will walk with you through both the highs and the lows of life.

Finding the right tribe requires intentionality. By praying for the right friends and being open to new relationships that align with God’s purpose for your life, you can find your own tribe.

Here are a few reflective questions: 

• What qualities do I look for in friends? 

• Are these qualities aligned with God’s vision for my life?

• How can I be a better friend to the people in my tribe

Let us pray:

Lord, I thank You for the gift of friendship and community. Help me to find my tribe. Give me the wisdom to choose the right friends and the courage to let go of relationships that are not healthy in Jesus' name, Amen.

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

Dear Lovelies, do have a fulfilling day. Take good care of yourself and see you tomorrow!
