MORNING TEA☕ SUNDAY SEPTEMBER 7, 2025. ARMED WITH STRENGTH. TODAY'S SCRIPTURE: Psalm 18:32, NIV- It is God who arms me with strength and keeps my way secure. TODAY'S WORD: When David went out to face the giant Goliath, he didn’t have a chance in natural. But David knew that the Lord his God had made him very powerful. Our strength doesn’t come just from our ability or our willpower. That’s all good, but you will face times when that’s not enough. The sickness is too strong, the trouble too great. That’s when you’re going to see the Lord your God empowering you to go further, to defeat giants, to accomplish dreams that seem impossible. There’s a force that you can’t see, a power that’s beyond your ability. The Lord who arms with strength has breathed His power on your life. Victory starts in your mind. You can’t think weak and be powerful. You can’t think limited and be strong. You can’t think fear and have courage. Is your thinking keeping you from being very powerful? Are wrong mindsets stopping the strength, the favour, the victory that belongs to you? Start thinking power thoughts. “I am strong. I am well able. I am confident. I am full of resurrection power.” PRAYER FOR TODAY: Father, thank You that other people and circumstances cannot keep me from what You have purposed for me. Thank You that You arm me with strength and resurrection power. I believe that You will take me through or over or around whatever stands in my way. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

MORNING TEA☕ MONDAY SEPTEMBER 8, 2025. RELATIONSHIPS. TODAY’S SCRIPTURE: Revelation 3:7, NIV- “These are the words of him who is holy and true, who holds the key of David. What he opens no one can shut, and what he shuts no one can open.” TODAY’S WORD: If you don’t understand that God has necessary endings of some relationships, you’ll get upset when they happen. “Why did her friendship fade? Why did he walk away?” God knows what He’s doing. It’s not because you did something wrong or you’ve lost His favor. It’s because a new door is about to open. Without that ending, you wouldn’t discover new friendships and fulfillment greater than you’ve imagined. You wouldn’t meet the divine connection He has for you, somebody better than you ever dreamed. The right attitude is: “God, I trust You. I don’t like what happened, but You wouldn’t have allowed this relationship to cease unless you had better relationships coming.” When God closes a door, you can’t open it. If someone wants to leave, you have to accept that their part in your story is over. Some people are like scaffolding. They come into your life for a season, perhaps to help you get to a certain point. But if they stayed, they would limit your growth. That scaffolding has to come off, so you can rise higher. PRAYER FOR TODAY: Father, thank You that You know best when it comes to the people who should be a part of my life. Thank You that You are the doorkeeper and that You’ll lead me to the best relationships. Help me to see that even though the end of a relationship may not feel good, You have great people ahead. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

MORNING TEA☕ WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER 10, 2025. WHY ME? - TODAY’S SCRIPTURE: Luke 23:26, NIV- As the soldiers led him away, they seized Simon from Cyrene, who was on his way in from the country, and put the cross on him and made him carry it behind Jesus. TODAY’S WORD: Simon was from Cyrene, a city in North Africa. He was a foreigner, a stranger just travelling through who suddenly found himself carrying Jesus’ cross. He didn’t know who Jesus was. He didn’t know he would be chosen to be a part of history. God could have chosen one of Jesus’ disciples to be with Him in His final, critical moments. But He purposefully chose a stranger who didn’t look like he belonged. Simon could have tried to refuse, but I can imagine that deep down, he heard a voice whispering, “I know you’re a stranger, but you’ve been chosen. This is your moment.” Simon accepted the calling and stepped into a destiny greater than he ever dreamed. This is the beauty of our God. While we were yet strangers, while we were far off, God in His great mercy chose us. He didn’t choose you based on your performance; He chose you based on His love. Simon had no history with Jesus, but God had a divine purpose for his life. Who knows where God will take you if you simply answer His call. PRAYER FOR TODAY: Father, thank You that You are the Most High God, and You chose me and set me apart for Your own purpose. Thank You that Your call is based completely on Your love for me and not my performance. I am saying yes to Your call and to carrying the cross You have for me. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

MORNING TEA☕ THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 11, 2025. BE A PERSON OF INTEGRITY. TODAY’S SCRIPTURE: Psalm 101:2, ESV - I will walk with integrity of heart within my house. TODAY’S WORD: Solomon said, “A good name is worth more than great riches.” Your reputation is one of the most valuable things you have, and it is built on the foundation of your personal integrity. A person of integrity does the right thing when no one is watching. You can have talent, determination, and vision, but without integrity, you won’t reach your full potential. Where does it start? In today’s Scripture, David was saying, “Starting in my private life, when I could compromise, give in to temptation, cheat people, instead I’m going to do the right thing. I’m going to be a person of excellence and show God that He can trust me.” He went on to say, “I will not look at anything impure. I won’t watch things that are going to poison me. I will not have anything to do with crooked dealings, things that are shady, not ethical.” Your name is too important to let it become tarnished by not having integrity. PRAYER FOR TODAY: Father, thank You that down at the foundation of my life, I can be a person of integrity, someone who’s true to You no matter what. Thank You that as I honor You, You are a shield of protection to me. I will not let small things keep me from Your big blessings. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
