THE MAIN THEME: CHANGING YOUR WORLD

TITLE: RENEW YOUR MIND

Our bible verse for today’s devotional is: Romans 12:2 (NIV)
"Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.”

Devotional:

It is true that as a man thinks in his heart so he is- whatever we have as a predominant thought will often determine how we speak and how we act. If our mind is full of fear, doubt, and negativity, we will reflect that in our speech and how we respond to things that happen around us.

But the thing is, when we are afraid or filled with negativity, we are not in a creative state of mind and may not be able to find the solutions to the problems we are experiencing. God expects us to be filled with His word, to meditate upon His word to the extent that when we are hard-pressed, what comes out is the confidence that ‘WE KNOW’ that God’s promises are true and we will be fine, no matter what.

Changing the way, we think will not be automatic, it will require some intentional actions on our path. Consider the following:

1. Guard Your Thoughts: Be mindful of what you watch, listen to, and read.
2. Memorize Scripture: Use God’s Word to combat negative thinking.
3. Practice Gratitude: Focus on what’s good and right in your life.
4. Speak Life: Declare God’s promises over your situation.

Here are a few reflective questions:

• What negative thoughts do you struggle with the most?
• How can you replace those thoughts with God’s truth?
• What scripture encourages you when you’re feeling low?

 Let Us Pray:

Dear God, help me renew my mind with your word daily. Help me think only of that which is true, honest, of good report, thoughts that will lead me to the right actions in Jesus name. Amen.

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

• My mind is renewed by God’s truth.
• I think thoughts of peace, joy, and faith.
• God’s Word shapes my perspective and actions.

 Have a beautiful day, dear ones. I’ll see you tomorrow.

THE MAIN THEME: CHANGING YOUR WORLD

TITLE: EMBRACING YOUR ROLE AS A WORLD CHANGER

Our bible verse for today’s devotional is: Matthew 5:14 (NIV)
You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden.

Devotional:

I am sure there are a lot of things we would love to see change in our worlds, from the minor nuisances that we see around us to more pressing global issues that break our hearts. There is so much that we would love to see get better, and sometimes it can feel overwhelming.

When God called Jeremiah to be a prophet, the Bible records that he objected- he probably saw the level of decadence and his mind could not conceive how on earth he was going to be able to make even a small difference in all that mess. However, God reminded him that He(God) had already equipped him to do the task ahead.

In each of us, God has deposited His Spirit and equipped us before we were born to do whatever He has called us to do. He is not asking us to change everything that we feel burdened about, He is asking us to do the little we can today in obedience to Him. We don’t have to know how it will all work out before we commit to doing our best in what we can do today and trust Him for more guidance as the day progresses.

And this also means that while we are students, our first task/purpose is to complete to the best of our capabilities, the task at hand (our education) and as we go along, other opportunities will open up and then, we can do the best we can in that situation as well. That is what being a world changer is about-doing the best you can where you are, and continuing to ask God to show you what next He has for you, and then you repeat- do the best you can AGAIN!

Here are a few reflective questions:

-          What is one way you can change your world today?

-          At this stage in my life, what is my primary assignment and how can I be a difference maker where I am?

-          What can I do to increase my chances of hearing God and having His help daily?

Let Us Pray::

Dear God, I trust you to enable me to light up my world and honour you each day, in Jesus’ name. Amen

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

•       I am a world changer
•       I will be my best and do my best at all times
•       I will not wait to be older to be a difference-maker
•       I am a world-changer, I embrace my role with confidence.

 Dear world changer, I’ll see you tomorrow.

THE MAIN THEME: CHANGING YOUR WORLD

TITLE: BUILDING RESILIENCE

Our bible verse for today’s devotional is:   2 Corinthians 4:8 (NIV)

“We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair.”

Devotional:

Resilience is a word that we have come to hear a lot about these days- in its simplest definition, it is the ability to bounce back when life knocks you down. History is filled with stories of men and women, boys and girls who defied seemingly insurmountable challenges and got to ‘the other side’ victorious.

 After Nelson Mandela endured an unfair jail term for 27 years, he came out, not bitter or broken but with the light of hope still burning in him- he led his country towards peace and reconciliation instead of seeking vengeance.

In life, there will be many hurdles to climb/cross, sometimes it’s everyday challenges like not being accepted by our friends, being misunderstood by our family, or the challenges that come as a direct (or indirect) consequence of our actions. No matter what the challenges are, our lesson today is a reminder that nothing strange is happening to you, and no matter what you face, you have what it takes to bounce back, get back into the game and win- all the time. Of course, this does not mean we should pretend that we are not hurt when unpleasant things happen, but despite the hurt, we must choose to move on.

So, what can we do to fortify ourselves and increase our chances of bouncing back after a challenge?

1. We can lean on God
2. Recognize what the challenge is and seek solutions, while minding the lessons
3. Encourage yourself (sometimes you need to be your own cheerleader)
4. Find a real support system, with people who can encourage you
5. Be positive, remind yourself of God’s promises, and be gracious to yourself..

Afterall, God has promised in Proverbs 24:16- that even if the righteous trip seven times, they will get up again. No matter where you are or what you are going through.. get up, dust yourself and keep going- you’ve got this!

Here are a few reflective questions:

-          What is one challenge you are facing right now? [can you write a short prayer asking God to help you with that specifically]

-          What is one verse or one affirmation you will meditate on as a reminder that all is well?

-          What can you do to support  a friend who may be going through challenges?

Let Us Pray:

Dear God, no matter what comes my way, help me remember you are with me and that all things must work together for my good in Jesus’ name. Amen.

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

• I am strong, I am well able to overcome any challenge.
• God’s Spirit lives in me and He strengthens me
• I cross every hurdle with grace and ease.

Have an awesomely pleasant day lovelies. I’ll see you tomorrow.

THE MAIN THEME: CHANGING YOUR WORLD

TITLE : UNSTOPPABLE FAITH

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

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

Devotional:

What if you truly believed that nothing could stop you from making a difference? Unstoppable faith is not about never facing obstacles; it is about knowing that with God, those obstacles are stepping stones, not roadblocks.

When David faced Goliath, he wasn’t the strongest warrior, but he had faith in God’s power. (1 Samuel 17)

 When Esther stood before the king, she wasn’t the most powerful person in the kingdom but she believed in God’s purpose for her life. ( Esther 5:1-8)

Their faith allowed them to change their world.

You don’t need to be the loudest or the most talented. All you just need is to trust that God has placed you where you are for a reason. Your words, actions, and prayers can bring light to your school, home, or community.

Here are a few reflective questions:

1. What fear is holding you back from stepping out in faith?
2. How can you use your gifts to bring positive change around you?

Let us pray:

Heavenly Father, strengthen my faith so I can do exploits for you even in difficult situations in Jesus name. Amen 

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

• I am empowered by God to make a difference. 
• My faith is unstoppable, and I will change my world.

Have an awe-mazing day darlings, I’ll see you tomorrow.
