THE MAIN THEME: HOW DO I GET TO WHERE I AM GOING?

TITLE: STEP UP

The bible verse for today’s devotional is: Colossians 3:23 (NIV)

"Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters." — 

Devotional

There are moments in life when you’re called to step up—to rise above challenges, take responsibility, and give your best effort. Stepping up means doing what needs to be done, even when it’s difficult or outside of your comfort zone. Colossians 3:23 encourages us to give our all, not just for others, but as an offering to God.

Think of athletes, musicians, or even students who go the extra mile to succeed. They don’t wait for the perfect conditions; they step up and give their best.

Think of Nehemiah, who took the initiative to rebuild Jerusalem’s walls. Even though it was a huge responsibility, he stepped up because he knew the work was important. He didn’t wait for others to act—he took charge and worked hard, knowing he was doing it for God.

You, too, can step up in your life by taking responsibility and giving your best effort in everything you do. Whether it’s school, home, or helping others, you honor God when you give your all.

Here are a few reflective questions:

1. In what areas of my life is God calling me to step up?
2. How can I give my best effort, knowing I am working for God, not just people?

Let us pray:

Lord, give me the strength and courage to step up in every area of my life. Help me to give my best, knowing that I’m working for You. Amen.

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

• I will get to where I am going because I will always do my best.
• I step up and give my best in all I do, knowing that I work for the Lord. 
• Kudos to me for pushing forward with faith!"

Give your best shot today beautiful souls. Take good care of yourselves, I’ll see you tomorrow.

THE MAIN THEME: HOW DO I GET TO WHERE I AM GOING?

TITLE:  WIND BENEATH MY SAILS (THE IMPORTANCE OF SUPPORT)

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 labor: If either of them falls down, one can help the other up." 

Devotional

Having the right support system—friends and family—is like having wind beneath your sails. It keeps you going when the journey gets tough. Think of people like Malala Yousafzai, whose family and supporters helped her stand strong in her fight for education. Without their encouragement, her journey might have been much harder.

Think about Moses and Aaron. Moses wasn’t a great speaker, but Aaron supported him by speaking for him. Together, they accomplished God’s mission. Just like Moses needed Aaron, you need the support of friends and family to help you on your journey.

Ecclesiastes reminds us that we’re stronger together. The right friends and family can lift you up when you’re down and help you reach your goals. Don’t try to go through life alone—surround yourself with people who encourage and uplift you.

Here are a few questions:

1. Who in my life is a source of support and encouragement?
2. How can I show appreciation for the people who help lift me up?

Let us pray:

Lord, thank You for the friends and family who support me. Help me to appreciate and cherish them as they help me grow. Amen.

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

• I acknowledge the support I need to get me to where I am going.
• My friends and family are the wind beneath my sails, supporting me on my journey. 
• Kudos to me for recognizing the importance of support!"

Do have a beautiful day dear ones. Take good care of yourselves. I’ll see you tomorrow.

THE MAIN THEME:  HOW DO I GET TO WHERE I AM GOING?

TITLE: OVERCOMING DISTRACTIONS

The bible verse for today’s devotional is: Proverb 4:25-27 (NIV)

Let your eyes look straight ahead; fix your gaze directly before you. Give careful thought to the paths for your feet and be steadfast in all your ways. Do not turn to the right or the left; keep your foot from evil.

Devotional:

The Latin root for the word distraction comes from dis- which means ‘apart’, and trahere, which means ‘drag’. In other words, anything that drags you apart from your vision and mission in life is a distraction. 

Let’s look at some bible characters that fall for this demon called distraction: Eve was distracted by a conversation with the enemy which led to the fall of man. Abraham was distracted by fear, betraying his wife on two occasions.  David got distracted by pleasure which led to more sin of murder, destabilising his family and opening gates of immorality among his children. Samson, lost focus on his divine purpose, died alongside his enemies.

We give our distractions all sorts of names, but at the end of the day, distraction is anything that pulls our attention away from God. None of us is immune to distractions, nonetheless, how we respond to them is what matters.

The demon of distractions is interested in subtle tactics of making us feel vulnerable. As a child of God, you have the power to resist and guard your heart.

Presently, tech has made distraction much more common. We have more opportunities to be distracted through our cell phones, and other devices that offer endless hours of entertainment, making us consumers of content rather than become co-creators with God.

Our anchor scripture reminds us of the need to look straight ahead, fix our gaze directly on what is set before us. Give careful thought to our paths and be steadfast.  

Here are a few reflective questions:

• What are the subtle ways the enemy has used to put me off my focus? 
• What proactive measures can I take to guard my mind from distractions?

 Let us pray:

Lord thank you for your word to me today, I receive the power to avoid and overcome distractions guarding my heart with all diligence in Jesus name. Amen

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

• I will not be distracted from where I am going.
• am capable of guarding my heart from distractions
• My eyes look straight ahead; I fix my gaze directly on my goals. I am steadfast and unmovable.
• I am in control of my mind.

Have a focused filled day dear ones. I’ll  see you tomorrow

THE MAIN THEME:  HOW DO I GET TO WHERE I AM GOING?

TITLE: FOCUS DETERMINES DESTINATION

The bible verse for today’s devotional is: Hebrew 12:2 (NIV)

fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

Devotional: 

Focus is a life skill everyone should master. It is the selective and effortful attention you use to filter through the flood of sensory stimuli and narrow your attention to what is relevant.

We have read the stories of biblical characters that defied distractions to get to their desired destination e.g Noah, Joseph, Ruth, Esther, Nehemiah, Jesus

In Nehemiah 4: 1-23 Nehemiah remained remarkably focused on the task God had called him to do in spite of all the distractions. In fact, the more pressure that was applied to Nehemiah, the more determined and steadfast he became: He understood the devices, conspiracies and tricks of the enemy to stop the work, but rather than give excuses, he took action by setting a watch day and night against their enemies, equipping every builder with weapon while doing the work. He was focused and determined to rebuild the wall of Jerusalem and he achieved that. 

When we stay focused on what God wants to do with us and through us, then He will give us the enabling power and staying power needed to accomplish our respective assignments. 

Apostle Paul said “I focus on this one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead, I press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us” (Philippians 3:13-14, NLT)

Here are a few reflective questions:

• Do I understand the “why” of pursuing my God given assignment in life?
• My excuses may be valid, but do they deliver the desired results?
• What do I need to remove from my environment to stay focused on my journey? It might be friends, TV series, devices, think about these things and more

 Let us pray

Lord thank you for your word to me today, I receive grace to guard my heart with all diligence. Help me to remain focused on my vision looking unto you the author and finisher of my faith in Jesus name. Amen

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

• I will focus on where I am going.
• I am in control of my mind; I focus on what is most important for my life journey
• I choose my circle of friends wisely
• I spend my time and energy on productive activities only

 Enjoy your day and see you tomorrow
