21-NOVEMBER-2024 - GROWING FROM MISTAKES

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

TITLE: GROWING FROM MISTAKES

The quote for today’s devotional is:
 "Success is not final, failure is not fatal: It is the courage to continue that counts." – Winston Churchill

Devotional:
Mistakes are an inevitable part of life, but what truly matters is how we respond to them. Every mistake carries a lesson, and when we choose to grow from them, we become stronger and wiser. It’s easy to feel discouraged when things don’t go as planned, but mistakes are often stepping stones to success. They provide us with valuable insight into areas where we can improve, and they challenge us to adapt and evolve.

Consider the story of Michael Jordan, one of the greatest basketball players of all time. Jordan was cut from his high school basketball team, a moment that could have been a crushing defeat. Instead, he used that experience as motivation to work harder, pushing himself to become a better player. His famous quote, "I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed," highlights how mistakes and failures played a key role in his journey to success.

Just like Jordan, we all encounter mistakes along the way. Rather than letting them define or discourage us, we can choose to learn from them. Every mistake is an opportunity to reflect, grow, and become better equipped for future challenges.

Here are a few reflective questions:

  1. Can I recall a mistake I made that taught me an important lesson?
  2. How do I typically react to mistakes—do I get discouraged, or do I see them as opportunities to grow?
  3. What steps can I take to embrace mistakes and turn them into learning experiences?
  4. How can my response to mistakes shape my future success?

Let us pray:
 Lord, help me to see mistakes not as failures, but as opportunities for growth. Grant me the humility to learn from them and the strength to keep moving forward. Teach me to embrace challenges with grace and wisdom, knowing that You are guiding my path. Amen.

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

  • My mistakes are learnings to get me to where I am going.
  • I grow from every mistake I make.
  • Each misstep is a valuable lesson that brings me closer to my goals.
  • I embrace the learning process and use it to become stronger, wiser, and more resilient.

Have a wonderful day my darling overcomers. I’ll see you tomorrow.

20-NOVEMBER-2024 - YOU CAN RE-ROUTE

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

TITLE: YOU CAN RE-ROUTE

The bible verse for today’s devotional is: Proverbs 16:9 (NIV)

“In their hearts humans plan their course, but the Lord establishes their steps." 

Devotional

Have you ever had a plan that didn’t work out the way you expected? Life is full of twists and turns, and sometimes things don’t go according to plan. But the good news is, you can always re-route! Just like a GPS recalculates when you take a wrong turn, God can guide you back on track when life’s plans change.

Remember the story of Jonah? He tried to run away from God’s plan, but God re-routed him back to Nineveh. Even though Jonah had his own ideas, God’s plan prevailed. When we make mistakes or encounter setbacks, God can re-direct us just like He did with Jonah.

If your plans don’t work out or you make a wrong turn, trust that God can re-route you to the right path. He always has a way of getting you where you need to go.

Here are a few reflective questions:

  1. Have I faced a situation where my plans didn’t work out? How did I handle it?
  2. How can I trust God to re-route me when things don’t go as planned?

Let us pray:

Lord, when my plans don’t go as expected, help me trust that You are still in control. Re-route me according to Your perfect plan. Amen.

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

  • It's okay to re-route to get to where I am going.
  • I trust God to re-route me when life takes unexpected turns. 
  • Kudos to me for being flexible and keeping faith!"

I wish you all a beautiful day. I’ll see you tomorrow.

19-NOVEMBER-2024 - STEP UP

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.

18-NOVEMBER-2024 - WIND BENEATH MY SAILS (THE IMPORTANCE OF SUPPORT)

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.

17-NOVEMBER-2024 - OVERCOMING DISTRACTIONS

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
