THE MAIN THEME:  STANDING OUT

TITLE: UNLEASH YOUR INNER STRENGTH

The bible verse for today’s devotional: Philippians 4:13 (NIV)

" I  can do all this through him who gives me strength." 

Devotional

Strength doesn’t always look like physical power or loud confidence. Sometimes, it looks like standing firm when everything around you says to give up. Sometimes, it’s found in the quiet decision to keep going, even when no one is cheering you on.

Inner strength is not something you put on—it’s something you draw out. It’s already within you, planted by God, powered by His Spirit, and proven through your challenges.

We often wait for the “perfect moment” to be brave. But true strength shows up in the imperfect moments—when you feel afraid but move forward anyway; when you feel small but remember you’re chosen; when life pushes hard, but you push back harder through faith.

You may not feel strong every day, but strength is not a feeling—it’s a choice, a mindset, a response. And when you allow God to work through your weakness, His strength becomes your superpower.

Amara was a 14-year-old student who loved singing but had terrible stage fright. Whenever she was asked to perform, fear would paralyze her. One day, her school announced a talent show, and her friends encouraged her to join. She almost said no—but something in her stirred. She remembered her favourite verse: “God has not given me a spirit of fear…” (2 Timothy 1:7).

Amara decided to sing anyway. She practiced daily, prayed earnestly, and stepped on stage trembling. Her hands shook, but her voice didn’t. The moment she sang her first note, peace filled her. She didn’t win the competition—but she won something far greater: confidence and courage.

From that day, Amara started singing at church and mentoring younger students to overcome fear. She realized her strength wasn’t about being fearless—it was about choosing faith over fear.

Amara didn’t discover strength. She unleashed it. And so can you.

Here are a few reflective questions:

1. What fears or challenges have I allowed to limit me?
2. In what area of my life do I sense God calling me to be braver?
3. What strengths do I already have that I’ve been underestimating?
4. Who in my life needs to see me rise so they can believe they can too?

Let us Pray:

Thank You Lord for your word to me today; and for placing strength within me. Help me to stop looking outside for the courage You’ve already given me on the inside.  Amen.

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

• I am powerful in Christ.
• I am rising and I choose to stand out
• I am unstoppable

Be bold. Be unstoppable.  I’ll see you tomorrow
