THE MAIN THEME: ACHIEVING PERSONAL GROWTH

TITLE: PERSONAL GROWTH: PREPARE FOR THE UNEXPECTED

The quote for today’s devotional is: Tough times never last, but tough people do."

– Robert H. Schuller

 Devotional:

Let’s face it, sometimes with all our preparation and calculations, life happens. Sometimes the impact can be localized as we face family troubles or unexpected disappointments; and at other times, like it was in the year 2020 with the Covid 19 pandemic, it could be global, and such major shifts can halt our plans.

While this does not mean that we live in a perpetual state of fear or expectation of ill, it means that we ought to develop our resilience muscle; we must have within us a doggedness that ensures that we can assess and recover from a setback because we know God is still in control. True personal growth means learning to trust God through unexpected changes.

Here are a few reflective questions:

-          Is there a recent setback that I have experienced?

-          How did I handle it or how could I have handled it better?

-          How can I trust God more in uncertain times?

 Let Us Pray:

Dear God, I know you are on the throne and always in control. Help me trust you 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 know God has good thoughts towards me.
•       I will trust God and not be afraid
•       I grow strong through every challenge.

Do have a beautiful day. I’ll see you tomorrow.

THE MAIN THEME: ACHIEVING PERSONAL GROWTH 

TITLE: OVERCOMING THE FEAR OF FAILURE 

The bible verse for today’s devotional is: 2 Timothy 1:7 (NIV)

For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline 

Devotional:

Moses grew up in Pharaoh’s palace but fled Egypt after killing an Egyptian who was mistreating a Hebrew slave. Now, years later, he was living a quiet life as a shepherd when God appeared to him in a burning bush with a mission to go back to Egypt and lead the Israelites to freedom.

But Moses said to God, "Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh and bring the Israelites out of Egypt?”(Exodus 3:11 NIV)

He came up with one excuse after another, "What if they don’t believe me? I’m not a good speaker. Please send someone else!" I am not eloquent in speech, I even stammer! (Exodus 4:10-13). Moses was afraid of failing. He doubted himself and his abilities.

But God didn’t let Moses’ fear define his future. Instead of giving up on him, God reminded him:

"I have chosen you for this mission." (Exodus 3:10)

"I will be with you." (Exodus 3:12)

"I will give you the words to say." (Exodus 4:12)"

Moses decided to trust God and stepped into his calling. Because of his obedience, God performed miracles, and Moses became one of the greatest leaders in history. 

Have you ever felt like Moses, afraid to try something new because you don’t want to fail?  Fear of failure can hold you back from becoming everything God created you to be.

You may not be perfect or have all the answers, trust that God is with you. Even if you fall, He will pick you up and guide you forward.

Here are a few reflective questions:

1. What is something I have been afraid to try because I fear failure?
2. How does Moses’ story encourage me to trust God even when I feel unqualified?
3. What would you do differently if you truly believed God was with you?

Let us pray:

Lord, sometimes I feel afraid, uncertain, and unqualified. But I know that You are with me, just as You were with Moses.  Give me the courage to step forward, knowing that You are with me to guide me. Amen."

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

1. I am not alone—God is with me in every challenge.
2. I am capable because God strengthens me.
3. I step forward in faith, knowing that God has already made a way for me.

Have an awesome day and see you tomorrow.

THE MAIN THEME: ACHIEVING PERSONAL GROWTH

TITLE: OVERCOMING PROCRASTINATION

The bible verse for today’s devotional is: Proverbs 6:6 (NIV)
 "Go to the ant, you sluggard; consider its ways and be wise!!" – 

Devotional:
 Imagine a student named Tunde with a big assignment due in two weeks. Instead of starting early, he said, “I’ll do it tomorrow.” Soon, tomorrow became the night before the deadline, and he rushed through the work, stressed and exhausted. Sound familiar? This is the cycle of procrastination— the habit of delaying essential tasks until the last minute.

Many people procrastinate because they feel overwhelmed, distracted, or simply unmotivated. However, successful individuals understand the importance of taking action. Take Thomas Edison, for example. If he had procrastinated, we might not have the electric light bulb today! He knew that consistent effort leads to success, even in small steps.

The key to overcoming procrastination is discipline. Start by breaking large tasks into smaller, manageable steps. Set clear deadlines for yourself and remove distractions. Most importantly, ask God for wisdom and strength to stay focused. Remember, procrastination steals your time and potential. When you take action now, you set yourself up for success in the future.

Procrastination may feel easy at the moment, but it steals your progress. Take that first step today, no matter how small. Your future self will thank you!

Here are a few reflective questions:

1. What is one task I often procrastinate on, and why?
2. How do I feel when I rush to complete something at the last minute?
3. What small steps can I take today to become more disciplined?
4. How can trusting God help me to overcome procrastination?

Let us pray:
 "Dear Lord, help me overcome the habit of procrastination. Give me the wisdom to plan my time wisely and the discipline to take action. May I use my days purposefully and honour You with my work. Amen."

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

• I take action today and refuse to delay my success.
• I am disciplined, focused, and motivated.
• Every small step I take brings me closer to my goals.
• I use my time wisely and fulfil my purpose with excellence.

 Have a productive and fulfilling day. See you tomorrow!

THE MAIN THEME: ACHIEVING PERSONAL GROWTH 

TITLE: KNOWLEDGE OF SELF IN PERSONAL GROWTH

The quotes for today’s devotional are: "The more you know yourself, the more clarity there is. Self-knowledge has no end. You don’t come to an end of knowing yourself." 

— Jiddu Krishnamurti

"To thine own self be true." — William Shakespeare

Devotional 

It is easy to get lost in comparisons or let others define who we are, but true growth happens when we understand our identity in Christ. When you know your strengths, weaknesses, desires, and values, you are able to make decisions that align with God’s purpose for your life.

Self-knowledge isn't about becoming self-centered but about understanding how God uniquely shaped you. By embracing who you are and whose you are, you’ll grow into the person God created you to be.

Here are a few reflective questions:

1. What areas of my life do I struggle to accept or understand about myself?
2. How can knowing my strengths and weaknesses help me grow closer to God’s purpose for me?
3. What are some steps I can take today to understand myself better?
4. How can I embrace my true self while still being open to growth and change?

Let us Pray:

"Lord, help me to know myself better so I can grow in the way You’ve designed me. Help me to embrace my true identity in You and guide me in living a life that reflects Your purpose for me. Amen.”

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

1. I am fearfully and wonderfully made by God.
2. I embrace my unique strengths and talents as part of God’s plan for me.
3. My worth is not defined by others, but by the One who created me.

Have a wonderful day and see you tomorrow.
