01-APRIL-2025 - BE THE LIGHT IN DARKNESS

THE MAIN THEME: CHANGING YOUR WORLD

TITLE: BE THE LIGHT IN DARKNESS

Our bible verse for today’s devotional is:  Matthew 5:16 (NIV)

" In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven."

Devotional

In a world filled with uncertainty, fear, and negativity, choosing to be light means bringing hope, kindness, and love wherever you go. Your light shines when you encourage a friend, help someone in need, or offer a smile. Even small acts of kindness can dispel darkness and inspire others.

Being the light requires courage because not everyone will appreciate or understand your positive energy. However, remember that light always overcomes darkness. Living with love, honesty, and compassion reflects God's light to the world.

Here are a few reflective questions:

  1.   What small ways can I be a light to those around me?
  2.   How can I encourage someone who is going through a difficult time?
  3.   What fears prevent me from shining my light, and how can I overcome them?
  4.   Who has been a light in my life, and how can I show gratitude to them?

Let us pray: Dear God, help me to be a light in the lives of others. Give me the courage to share kindness, love, and hope in every situation. May my actions glorify You and inspire those around me. Amen.

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

  •         I am a beacon of light and hope.
  •         My kindness makes a difference.
  •         I choose to shine even in difficult moments.
  •         God's light shines through me every day.

Never forget the power you hold to brighten someone's day. Keep shining! I'll see you tomorrow!

31-MARCH-2025 - NAVIGATING CHANGE AND UNCERTAINTY

THE MAIN THEME: ACHIEVING PERSONAL GROWTH 

TITLE: NAVIGATING CHANGE AND UNCERTAINTY

The bible verse for today’s devotional is: Proverbs 3:5-6 (NIV)

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight." 

Devotional:

Life is full of changes - getting into a new school, shifting friendships, family transitions, and personal growth. It is easy to feel lost when things don’t go as planned or when the future seems unclear. Change can be scary, but it can also be an opportunity for growth.

God doesn’t promise a life without challenges, but He does promise to guide you through them. Instead of relying on your own strength or trying to control everything, trust that God has a plan for you. Even when you don’t understand what is happening, God is busy working behind the scenes, shaping your path for the best.

When uncertainty makes you anxious, remind yourself that God is constant. He never changes, even when everything around you does. Hold onto His promises, pray for wisdom, and take one step at a time.

Here are a few reflective questions:

  1. What changes in my life are making me feel uncertain right now?
  2. How can I lean on God instead of worrying?
  3. Have I experienced a time when God used a difficult change for something good?

Let us pray:

Heavenly Father, help me to trust You when I don’t understand what’s happening. Remind me that Your plans are always for my good, even when they don’t make sense right now. (Amen)

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

  • I trust that God is guiding me through every change. 
  • I will not be afraid of the unknown because He is with me.

Have an amazing day and see you tomorrow.

30-MARCH-2025 - HOW EFFECTIVE TIME MANAGEMENT CAN FUEL PERSONAL GROWTH

THE MAIN THEME:  ACHIEVING PERSONAL GROWTH

TITLE: HOW EFFECTIVE TIME MANAGEMENT CAN FUEL PERSONAL GROWTH

The bible verse for today’s devotional is: Ephesians 5:15-17 (NIV)

“Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. Therefore, do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord’s will is.”

DEVOTIONAL

The bible encourages us to align our time with God’s purpose.  God admonished us to use our time to grow in faith, love and purpose. The transformational impact of approaching everyday tasks with a spiritual purpose, as seen in Col 3:23 “Work willingly at whatever you do, as though you were working for the Lord rather than for people.” This perspective shifts the focus from mere task completion to fulfilling one’s calling and serving others, and this can dramatically increase both the quality of work done and personal satisfaction.

Prov 16:3 Commit your actions to the Lord, and your plans will succeed. There should be a balance between diligent action and trust in divine guidance, as we plan and work towards our goals, we ought to remain open to the direction and instructions of the Lord. Proverbs 24:27 Underlines the importance of strategic planning and preparation, doing the groundwork before executions.

The bible text for today warns about living not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity. Eccl 9:10 admonished to “do with all your might”; maximising effort and efficiency. King Solomon advocates for full commitment to our vision, mission and values towards effective personal growth.

Eccl 3:1 reminds us of the seasonality of life and how to recognise the right timing and focus for tasks. Apply time blocking to dedicate specific hours to different activities- word study, prayer, academic activities, play and rest – ensuring a balanced approach to your daily life. Today you will identify and eliminate common distractions from your important tasks and set boundaries to minimize these interruptions, enabling you to have more focused and efficient work periods.

To achieve effective time management that can fuel your personal growth “Be sure that everything is done properly and in order 1 Corinth 14:40 teaches us the importance of conducting tasks in an orderly, structured manner.  Nothing saves time like a structured and orderly life.

Proverbs 10:4 associates diligent time management with achieving success and prosperity. I strongly believe that this is where you want to be. Let’s go ahead and Plan, Prepare, Prioritise, commit into the hands of God our plans, and execute without fear.

Here are a few reflective questions;

  1. How much time do I dedicate to planning and preparation? 
  2. What are my peak productivity times? 
  3. Am I scheduling my most important tasks for these times? 
  4. Am I spending time on my high-impact activities?

Let us Pray:

Thank you, Lord, for your word to me today. I receive grace to maximize my time and opportunities. I overcome procrastination, distractions and laziness in Jesus name Amen

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

  • I am an excellent time manager. I use my time wisely and effectively
  • I prioritize my tasks and focus on what’s important and urgent

Enjoy your day, while I see you, tomorrow

29-MARCH-2025 - SELF-AWARENESS AND PERSONAL GROWTH

THE MAIN THEME: ACHIEVING PERSONAL GROWTH

TITLE: SELF-AWARENESS AND PERSONAL GROWTH

The bible verse for today’s devotional is: Psalm 139:23 (NIV)

“Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts.” 

Devotional

Self-awareness is the foundation of personal growth. To grow into the person God has called us to be, we must first understand who we are—our strengths, weaknesses, emotions, habits, and thought patterns. When we know ourselves, we can intentionally work on improving and aligning our lives with God’s purpose.

King David is a great example of self-awareness leading to personal growth. 

David constantly sought self-awareness through his relationship with God. He didn’t pretend to be perfect but acknowledged his weaknesses and sought God’s help to grow.

His life was filled with great victories, but also personal failures. What set him apart was his ability to:

  • Recognize his weaknesses – When he sinned (such as with Bathsheba), he acknowledged his mistakes and repented.
  • Seek God’s guidance – He constantly inquired of the Lord before making decisions.
  • Embrace growth – He learned from his failures and became a wise and humble king.

Self-Awareness Fuels Personal G.R.O.W.T.H. by helping you:

GGain clarity (You understand your strengths, weaknesses, and purpose)
RRecognize blind spots (You identify behaviors that may be limiting you)
OOpen doors to improvement (You make changes where needed)
WWelcome feedback (You accept constructive criticism and learn from it)
TTake responsibility (You own your actions and seek growth)
HHelp in decision-making (You make wiser choices based on self-awareness)

David’s journey teaches us that self-awareness is not about self-condemnation, but about self-improvement through God’s grace.

Here are a few reflective questions:

  1. What are my strengths and how am I using them for growth?
  2. What areas of my life do I need to work on?
  3. How can I become more self-aware through prayer and reflection?

Let Us Pray:

Lord, help me to be self-aware so that I may grow into the person You have called me to be. Reveal to me my strengths, weaknesses, and blind spots. Give me the humility to learn, change, and improve daily. In Jesus' name, Amen.

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

  • I am self-aware and committed to personal growth!
  • My self-awareness helps me make better decisions!
  • I embrace my strengths and work on my weaknesses!
  • With God’s help, I am growing into my best self!

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

28-MARCH-2025 - NO SELF DISCIPLINE, NO PERSONAL GROWTH

THE MAIN THEME:  ACHIEVING PERSONAL GROWTH

TITLE: NO SELF DISCIPLINE, NO PERSONAL GROWTH

The bible verse for today’s devotional is:  Proverbs 16:32  (NIV)

Better a patient person than a warrior, one with self-control than one who takes a city.

DEVOTIONAL

Self-discipline is the foundation of success, requiring a clear vision and specific, actionable goals. It is the ability to control or restrain ourselves from feelings, impulses, and desires. Self-discipline is a virtue that applies to all aspects of life, including food choices, anger management, relationships choices etc. The bible encourages us to hone our self-discipline skills from the following scriptures:

Prov 23:20-21 “Do not join drunkards or gluttons in their feasting, for drunkards and gluttons become poor, and drowsiness clothes them in rags” God condemns gluttony as a sin, encouraging moderation and mindful eating.  Prov 25:28 “Like a city whose walls are broken down is a man who lacks self-control.” Lack of self-discipline makes you vulnerable to all manner of vices, your life has no boundary, and no fence.   Prov 1:10 “My son if sinners entice thee, do not yield to them.” 2Tim 2:7 God has not given us the spirit of fear but he has given us the spirit of power, love and self-discipline.”

It is a given! Live with this consciousness that you are in control. You have the power to say NO to things that do not align with your values. Do not allow anyone or any circumstance pressure you into a lifestyle you are not meant to live.

Practicing delayed gratification and maintaining a positive mindset allows you to overcome challenges and focus on long-term rewards, with kindness and patience towards yourself, self-discipline becomes a lifelong tool for achieving personal and professional success

Here are a few reflective questions;

  1. How can I build more self-discipline into my daily routine? 
  2. What areas of my life will benefit most from increased self-discipline? 
  3. What are some common obstacles that prevent me from being more self-disciplined? 
  4. What are my goals and how can I discipline myself to achieve them?

Let us Pray:

Thank you Lord, for your word to me today. I receive the spirit of love, power and self-discipline, grant me the wisdom to discern when I am being enticed and grace to consent not in Jesus name Amen

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

  • I am capable of achieving anything I set my mind to. 
  • I am worthy of achieving my goals
  • I am becoming more disciplined and resilient. 
  • I trust in my ability to stay focused and disciplined.

Have a beautiful day full of discipline, I will see you tomorrow.
