02-FEBRUARY-2025 - PRACTICING GRATITUDE AND POSITIVE THINKING

MAIN THEME; THE PURPOSE DRIVEN LIFE 

TITLE: PRACTICING GRATITUDE AND POSITIVE THINKING

The bible verse for today’s devotional is: 1 Thessalonians 5:18  (NIV)

“give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” 

Devotional 

The dusty streets of a small village were alive with whispers. Everyone was talking about Jesus, the teacher and healer who was passing through. Ten men approached Him. Their clothes were tattered, and their faces bore the marks of a life lived in isolation. They were lepers, outcasts who couldn’t live among the rest of men.  

From a distance, they cried out, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!” Their voices carried both desperation and hope, as if they knew this might be their only chance for healing.  

Jesus stopped. His gaze was full of compassion, and His words were simple yet powerful: “Go, show yourselves to the priests.”  

The ten men hesitated for just a moment before obeying. As they walked away, something incredible happened. Their skin, once marred by disease, became clear. They were healed!  

For one of them,  instead of going to the priests, he turned back, his face radiant with joy. He ran to Jesus, fell at His feet, and thanked Him over and over again.  

Jesus looked at him and asked, “Were not all ten cleansed? Where are the other nine? Has no one returned to give praise to God except this foreigner?”  

The man, a Samaritan, bowed low, his gratitude evident in every word and action. Jesus smiled at him and said, “Rise and go; your faith has made you whole.”  

The man had already been physically healed, but Jesus offered him something even greater. To be made whole meant that his healing went beyond his body. His gratitude and faith opened the door to a deeper transformation, one that brought him peace, restoration, and a renewed relationship with God. (Luke 17:12-19)

Here are few reflective questions:

  1. When was the last time you thanked God for something? How did it make you feel?
  2. What are three things you can be grateful for today, even if they seem small?
  3. How do you think practicing gratitude daily can change your outlook on life? 

Let us pray

Dear God, thank You for the many blessings in my life, both big and small. Teach me to have a heart of gratitude and to focus on Your goodness every day. Help me to see the positive in every situation in Jesus’ name, Amen.

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

  • I choose to focus on the good in my life. 
  • I am grateful for the blessings I have, and I trust that more are on the way. 
  • Gratitude brings wholeness to my heart and mind.  

Stay positive and I'll see you tomorrow.

01-FEBRUARY-2025 - EMBRACING AUTHENTICITY AND INDIVIDUALITY

MAIN THEME; THE PURPOSE DRIVEN LIFE 

TITLE: EMBRACING AUTHENTICITY AND INDIVIDUALITY

The quote for today’s devotional is: "Be yourself; everyone else is already taken." 

  • Oscar Wilde 

Devotional 

In a world that constantly tells you who to be, it can feel overwhelming to stand out and embrace your true self. Social media, peer pressure, and societal expectations often create a mold that everyone seems to follow. But God didn’t create you to fit into someone else’s mold. He made you uniquely you.  

Think about it: no two fingerprints are the same, no two voices sound exactly alike, and no one else has your exact combination of talents, quirks, and dreams. You are a masterpiece, carefully designed by the Creator of the universe.  

When you try to imitate others or hide parts of who you are, you miss out on the amazing plans God has for your life. Embracing your authenticity means recognizing your worth in Christ and celebrating the individuality He’s given you.  

 

Practical Steps to Embrace Your Authenticity

  1. Study the Bible and spend time praying to understand how God sees you.
  2. Celebrate Your strengths and weaknesses
  3. Say no to comparison as it makes you lose sight of your own unique value. 
  4. Be authentic about your feelings. Share your struggles and joys with trusted friends or mentors.  

 

Let us pray 

Dear God, thank You for creating me as a unique masterpiece. Help me to see myself through Your eyes and embrace the individuality You’ve given me. Amen.  

Here are a few reflective questions 

  1. What are some unique qualities or talents that God has given you?  
  2. Have you ever felt pressured to be someone you’re not? How did it make you feel?  
  3. How can you start embracing your authenticity and individuality this week?  

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

  • I am God’s masterpiece, uniquely created with purpose and love. 
  • I embrace my individuality and trust that God’s plans for me are perfect

Have an amazing day and see you tomorrow.

31-JANUARY-2025 - ALONE BUT NOT LONELY- FINDING SOLITUDE WITH GOD

THE MAIN THEME: WHO DO I GO WITH?

TITLE: ALONE BUT NOT LONELY: FINDING SOLITUDE WITH GOD

The bible verse for today’s devotional is: Psalm 46:10 (NIV)

Be still, and know that I am God.

Devotional: 

Being alone can feel uncomfortable or even lonely. Yet, solitude can be one of the most transformative experiences when we invite God into that space.

Throughout Scripture, we see examples of people finding strength and clarity in solitude with God. Jesus often withdrew to lonely places to pray and connect with the Father (Luke 5:16). These moments were not about isolation but about intimate fellowship with God, away from distractions.

Being alone doesn’t have to mean being lonely. Solitude with God is a gift—a time to listen, rest, and grow in faith. It’s an opportunity to know Him deeply and allow His love to fill every empty space in our hearts.

If you find yourself in a season of aloneness, embrace it as a sacred time with God. Let Him renew your strength, clarify your path, and remind you that you are never truly alone.


Here are a few reflective questions:

  • How can I create more moments of solitude to connect with God?
  • Do I see being alone as a gift or as a burden? Why?
  • In what ways has God revealed Himself to me during times of stillness?

Let Us Pray:
Father, thank You for always being with me, especially in moments when I feel alone. Help me to embrace solitude as a time to draw closer to You. Amen.

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

  • I am never alone; God is always with me.
  • I embrace solitude as an opportunity to grow closer to God.
  • God fills every empty space in my heart with His love.
  • I find strength, clarity, and peace in God’s presence.

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

30-JANUARY-2025 - FAMILY AS YOUR FIRST TEAM

THE MAIN THEME: WHO DO I GO WITH?

TITLE: FAMILY AS YOUR FIRST TEAM

The bible verse for today’s devotional is: Mark 3:25 (NIV)

If a house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand.

Devotional:
Family is God’s foundational design for community. Long before you build friendships or partnerships, your family is the first team God places you in. They are meant to be your support system, your encouragers, and your accountability partners. While families are not perfect, they are a gift from God, designed to nurture and shape us.

In Mark 3:25, Jesus reminds us that division weakens any household. Unity within a family is key to its strength and ability to weather life’s storms. When families support each other, they become a safe haven and a launchpad for fulfilling God’s purpose.

Even in situations where family dynamics are strained, you can still choose to foster love, forgiveness, and prayer. As members of God’s family, we are called to be peacemakers, bridge-builders, and advocates for unity.

Who you go with begins at home. Start by nurturing and investing in the relationships within your family. Pray for them, support them, and trust God to strengthen those bonds.

Here are a few reflective questions:

  • How can I contribute to unity and love within my family?
  • Are there unresolved issues in my family that need forgiveness and healing?
  • How has God used my family as my first team to shape my life and purpose?

Let Us Pray:
Lord, thank You for placing me in a family where I can learn, grow, and love. Help me to see my family as my first team and teach me how to contribute to its unity and strength. Heal any divisions or pain in my family, and guide us to walk in love and understanding. Amen.

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

  • My family is my first team, and I cherish them deeply.
  • I am a source of love, unity, and peace in my family.
  • I forgive and release past hurts, trusting God to heal my family.
  • With God’s help, my family is strong, united, and purposeful.

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

29-JANUARY-2025 - THE POWER OF LOVE

THE MAIN THEME: WHO DO I GO WITH?

TITLE: THE POWER OF LOVE

 The bible verse for today’s devotional is:  1 Corinthians 13:4-7 (NIV)

“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

 

 Devotional:

Love is in action not words. Of course, words are important as we need to convey our thoughts through words, but beyond just saying ‘I love you’ to your friends and family members, what you do as a corresponding action to demonstrate that love is more important and that is what lingers in the hearts of your loved ones.

There is a story in the bible of the good Samaritan (Luke 10:25-37), which is essentially a narrative of how a stranger, one who was the least likely to have a good reason to show care to a jew, was able to suspend his prejudice and offer help to someone who needed it, even to the extent of committing more resources than he originally planned to spend for the welfare of another person. That was love in action!

As we go along our day, we will come across different people who tick us off in all the wrong ways - the call for today is to choose to be the difference maker. You can choose to ignore the obvious provocation, choose to be patient and offer grace to those who do not ‘get it’ as fast as you do(whatever ‘it’ is), choose to say a kind word or withhold the angry words when wronged, choose to believe the best so that you can respond with kindness, choose to rejoice when others get something you wanted, choose to be love personified!

Here are a few reflective questions:

-          Who is in my life who may may help or be kind today?

-          How can I go beyond words to show love through action?

-         How can I use my actions to reflect God’s love in my daily life? 

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 show love through my actions, no matter how small they seem.
  • I choose to respond to hurt with love and kindness.
  • My actions will reflect God’s love and inspire others to change.

Have a lovely day. Take good care of yourselves. I’ll see you tomorrow.
