THE MAIN THEME: WHAT DO I HAVE?

TITLE: OPPORTUNITIES:  POOR (Passing Over Opportunities Repeatedly) OR CEPO (Carefully Exploring Possible Opportunities)

The bible verse for today’s devotional is: Luke 23: 39-43 (NIV)

One of the criminals who hung there hurled insults at him: “Aren’t you the Messiah? Save yourself and us!” But the other criminal rebuked him. “Don’t you fear God,” he said, “since you are under the same sentence? We are punished justly, for we are getting what our deeds deserve. But this man has done nothing wrong.” Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.” Jesus answered him, “Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in paradise.”

Devotional:

Opportunity can be defined as an appropriate or favorable time or set of circumstances, occasions, situations or conditions that make it possible for you to do what you want or have to do.

In other words, opportunities are directly linked to time and circumstances.  It also indicates that only a person with discernment or right perspective can identify opportunities and maximize them.

Today, we read from our bible text that Jesus was crucified in between two criminals. While one railed curses on him, mocking and accusing him for claiming to be a savior but could not save himself and them, the other criminal rebuked him. He was able to interpret their situations, recognizing that they are paying for the sins they had committed.  He was able to discern that Jesus was unjustly being punished because he had done nothing wrong, and he seized the opportunity to secure his eternal rest in God’s kingdom. The request Jesus granted immediately.

We have opportunities thrown at us every now and then, the problem is in our ability to identify them as such. Now that you have an opportunity to study, how are you maximising the time and energy, how many self-development books have you read, how much time do you invest in fostering your creativity. Remember, opportunities are time-bound, and once lost may not be redeemable. Be mindful, be observant, be wise!!

 Here are a few reflective questions:

1.   In what areas have I been passing over opportunities repeatedly without recognizing them?
2.     In what ways have I allowed distorted perceptions to cloud my ability to identify opportunities?
3.       What opportunities are right before me now that I need to utilize?

Let us pray

Lord thank you for your word to me today, I receive grace to carefully explore possible opportunities that you will bring my way so that I will not miss your timing and seasons of visitations in my life in Jesus’s name Amen

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

• I know what I have.
• By the spirit I recognize possible opportunities in my life today.
• I have the gift of right perspectives to circumstances.
• I maximize all opportunities that are open to me.

Enjoy your day and see you tomorrow

THE MAIN THEME: WHAT DO I HAVE?

TITLE: TIME: MAKING THE MOST OF EVERY MOMENT

The quote for today’s devotional is:
 "Do not squander time, for that is the stuff life is made of." 

– Benjamin Franklin

Devotional

Time is a precious gift. Once it’s gone, we can never get it back. Every moment we have is an opportunity to grow, learn, and make an impact. Benjamin Franklin understood the value of time, famously stating, "Lost time is never found again." Benjamin Franklin, a renowned statesman and inventor, is known for his disciplined time management and famous quote, “Lost time is never found again.” He serves as a great example of using time wisely.

Like Franklin, we should be intentional in how we use our time, focusing on things that truly matter. God encourages us in His Word to make the most of every day, living purposefully and with a heart of wisdom. Life moves quickly, and how we spend our time will determine the legacy we leave behind. Time waits for no one.

Here are a few reflective questions:

1. How am I currently using my time? Are my activities aligned with my goals and values?
2. What distractions are keeping me from using my time wisely? How can I minimize or eliminate them completely.?
3. In what ways can I  be more intentional in making the most of every moment?
4. How can I ensure that I am investing time in what matters most to God?

 LET US PRAY:

Dear Lord, help me to value the time You have given me. Teach me to use each moment wisely and purposefully. Guide my steps and remind me to focus on what truly matters, so I may live a life that honours You. Amen.

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

• I know what I have.
• I value the gift of time and commit to using it wisely.
• I focus on what truly matters, trusting God to guide my days.
• I choose to be intentional, making the most of every moment to fulfill my purpose and live a life of meaning.

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

THE MAIN THEME: WHAT DO I HAVE?

TITLE:  WHERE THERE IS A WILL, THERE IS A WAY

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

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

Devotional:

Life often presents us with challenges that seem insurmountable. Whether it's pursuing a dream, overcoming an obstacle, or navigating a difficult season, the road can be tough. But the phrase "Where there is a will, there is a way" reminds us that determination and faith can lead us through even the most daunting circumstances.

God has given us the strength and resilience to face any challenge. When we align our will with His, trusting in His guidance, we find the way forward. This doesn't mean the path will always be easy, but it means that with perseverance and faith, nothing is impossible. Our will, coupled with God’s strength, becomes a powerful force for overcoming adversity, achieving goals, and living out our purpose.

Here are a few reflective questions:

1. Have I got the will?
2. What challenges am I currently facing that require perseverance and faith?
3. How can I align my will with God’s to find the strength and direction I need?

LET US PRAY:

Father God, thank You for the strength and guidance You provide each day. Help me remember that with Your support, I can overcome any obstacle. Give me the will to persevere through challenges and the faith to trust that You will always make a way for me. Amen.

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

• I know what I have
• My determination and faith will guide me through difficulties.
• I trust that God will always make a way for me.
• I am resilient and capable of achieving my goals.

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

THE MAIN THEME: WHAT DO I HAVE?

TITLE:  YOU ARE ENOUGH

The quote for today’s devotional is:

You are enough just as you are. 

— Unknown

Devotional Reading:

In a world that constantly pushes us to do more, be more, and achieve more, it's easy to feel like we're not enough. We compare ourselves to others, measure our worth by external standards, and forget the simple truth: we are enough. Right here, right now, just as we are.

This isn't about settling for mediocrity or giving up on growth. Instead, it's about recognizing that your value doesn't come from what you do but from who you are. You were created with purpose, with love, and with everything you need to fulfill your unique role in this world. Embrace your imperfections, your strengths, and your journey. Remember, you are worthy of love, respect, and kindness—not because of what you accomplish, but because of who you are.

 Here are a few reflective questions:

1. In what areas of my life do I struggle with feeling "enough"?
2. How can I remind myself daily of my inherent worth and value?
3. What are some ways I can embrace and celebrate my unique qualities and strengths?

LET US PRAY:

Heavenly Father, help me to remember that I am enough in your eyes. Give me the strength to silence the voices of doubt and comparison, and to embrace the truth of our worth. May I find peace in knowing that I am loved unconditionally, and may that knowledge inspire me to live fully and authentically. Amen.

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

• I know what I have.
• I am enough.
• I embrace my uniqueness and celebrate who I am.
• I am on a journey of growth, and I honor every step of it.
• I choose to see myself through eyes of compassion and love.

Do have an amazing day. Take good care of yourself and see you tomorrow!
