22-SEPTEMBER-2024 - ACTIVATING MY VISION

THE MAIN THEME: WHERE AM I HEADED TO?

TITLE: ACTIVATING MY VISION

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

Then the Lord replied: “Write down the revelation and make it plain on tablets so that a herald may run with it.

Devotional:

Do you have a clear picture of what you want your future to look like? Activating your vision is the key to making it a reality!

Having identified your vision, you need to gain clarity into the exact path you need to tow and how to get there.  This will enable you to determine the goals you need to set and the steps to achieving them. 

Activating your vision requires that you go beyond documentation to breaking it into simple actionable steps. You will need to include time-frames for achievements, milestones that will be reached, and requirements needed for achieving them.

Your vision should be broken into goals, SMART goals, they should be Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, and Time-bound goals.

There is no achievement of goals without a plan. 

How to activate your vision:

  1. Imagine Your Future: Close your eyes and picture yourself 5-10 years from now. What does your ideal life look like?
  2. Set Clear Objectives: Write down what you want to achieve in different areas of your life (education, career, relationships, etc.).
  3. Make it Specific: Avoid vague goals. Instead, make sure your objectives are specific, measurable, and attainable.
  4. Create a Visual Reminder: Draw, paint, or create a vision board to represent your goals. This will help you stay focused and motivated.
  5.  Break it Down: Divide your long-term goals into smaller, manageable steps. Take action on these steps every day.
  6. Stay Committed: Remind yourself why you're working towards your vision. Celebrate your progress and stay positive.

You are the Architect of Your Future

Activating your vision takes courage, creativity, and determination. But remember, you have the power to design the life you want. So go ahead, bring your vision to life, and make your dreams a reality!

Here are a few reflective questions:

  1. What is my vision?
  2. What skills, training and learnings do I need to acquire in order to activate my vision?

LET US PRAY:

Dear Lord, please grant me the grace to activate my vision. In your mercy, please provide all I need to to bring it to life. Amen

Please say these words of affirmation: Say them. Mean them and own them.

  • I know where I am headed.
  • My vision is a solution to mankind
  • I will be taking little actionable steps today to bring my vision to past

Have a beautiful day. See you tomorrow.

21-SEPTEMBER-2024 - THE ENEMY CALLED DISTRACTIONS

THE MAIN THEME: WHERE AM I HEADED TO?

TITLE: THE ENEMY CALLED DISTRACTIONS

The Bible verse for today’s devotional is: Numbers 13: 27-28 (NIV)

They gave Moses this account: “We went into the land to which you sent us, and it does flow with milk and honey! Here is its fruit. 28 But the people who live there are powerful, and the cities are fortified and very large. We even saw descendants of Anak there.

Devotional:

Today, we start with Winston Churchill’s quote “You will never reach your destination if you stop and throw stones at every dog that barks”.

I hope you know that as you journey towards achieving our goals and purpose in life, there will be many things vying for your attention. Have a quick rethink about yesterday; what did you set out to do? How many were you able to accomplish?

The things that try to deviate you from your goals or at least slow you down, may not always be bad situations or ideas. Sometimes,  good thoughts and ideas may become a distraction (it may be a case of wrong timing) and then you will have to decide to let go of the good, so that you can obtain the best which is the achievement of your goal. In this instance, you will need to prioritize or ask yourself, what is more important at this moment?

Where the distraction is bad, meaning the idea is completely drifting you away from achieving a set goal, of course, it’s  a no-no. You therefore must always consider the consequences of every of your actions.

Now you know that this will happen, how can you position yourselves so that you can have a better chance of reaching your goals? 

  • Be self aware
  • Be mindful of actions and their consequences.
  • Stay committed to the course.

Here are a few reflective questions:

  • Do I get distracted? What or who distracts me?
  • Do I have measures in place to handle distractions?

LET US PRAY:

Dear God, please help me cooperate with you to recognize and minimize distractions today and always, in Jesus’ name. Amen

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

  • I know where I am headed.
  • I am focused, I will be focused.

Do have a self fulfilling day. Take good care of yourself and see you tomorrow!

Good habits can:

 19-SEPTEMBER-2024 - DAILY HABITS - THE BUILDING BLOCK OF DESTINY

 THE MAIN THEME: WHERE AM I HEADED TO?

TITLE: DAILY HABITS: THE BUILDING BLOCK OF DESTINY

 Our quote for today’s devotional is:

The secret of your future is hidden in your daily routine. - Mike Murdock

Devotional:

According to the Cambridge dictionary, a habit is something you do often and regularly, sometimes without knowing that you are doing it.

Did you know that our habits shape our daily routines, and those routines ultimately define us and our destiny? In essence, our habits and routines are like a prayer to God, declaring who we aspire to be. When we consistently practise good habits and routines, we're essentially asking to become the best version of ourselves. And when those habits and routines are blessed with success, we become the manifestation of our own making – the result of our intentional choices of habits and routines.

What will that be?

As we wake up each day, chances are we do the same things in the same order almost automatically. From brushing your teeth to prayer time or whatever else features in your day. Researchers tell us that about 43% of what we do every day is habitual. Most times we have already done something before we realize that we have done it. Like making your bed, how we eat, or buying the same brand of a product or driving or walking home through the same route each day.

We need to regularly audit our day to find out if our routines are channelling us towards our goals and destination or derailing us from it.

Here are a few reflective questions:

  • Am I conscious of my routine and habits?
  • Which of my daily routines (if done everyday for 5 years) is moving me towards my goals?
  •  Which of my daily routines (if done everyday for 5 years) will take me away from my desired goal?

LET US PRAY:

Dear God, please help me develop habits that steer me toward my purpose and grant me the grace to steer away from habits that hinder me, in Jesus name. Amen.

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

  • I know where I am headed
  • I commit to my purpose
  • My habits and routines will align with my purpose.

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

18-SEPTEMBER-2024 - OVERCOMING FEAR AND DOUBTS

THE MAIN THEME: WHERE AM I HEADED TO?

TITLE: OVERCOMING FEAR AND DOUBTS

 Our quote for today’s devotional is:

Doubt and fear steal more dreams than failure does. - Darren Hardy

Devotional:

You know, those amazing goals and aspirations you have for your life?

Well, here's the thing: doubts and fears can sometimes get in the way of achieving those dreams. It's like having a big cloud hovering over your head, making it hard to see the sunshine.

Doubts can make you question your abilities, like "Am I really good enough?" or "Can I actually do this?" Fears can make you worried about taking risks or trying new things, like "What if I fail?" or "What if I'm not perfect?"

When we let doubts and fears take over, they can:

  • Hold us back from trying new things
  • Make us give up too easily
  • Stop us from believing in ourselves

But here's the good news! You have the power to overcome those doubts and fears. You can:

Practise positive self-talk (encourage yourself with kind words)

  • Take small steps towards your goals (build confidence and competence) 
  • Surround yourself with supportive people (friends, family, or mentors)
  • Focus on learning from failures (instead of giving up)

Remember, your dreams are worth fighting for! Don't let doubts and fears hold you back from achieving your awesomeness!.

 Here are a few reflective questions:

  • Do I have fears?
  • Do I believe in myself and my course?
  • What could I do differently to overcome fear?

 LET US PRAY:

Dear God, help me to overcome fears anytime they arise,in Jesus name. Amen.

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

  • I know where I am headed
  • I will not allow fear to overcome me.
  • I can do all things through Christ

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