MORNING TEA☕ WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER 3, 2025. TUNE OUT, TUNE IN. TODAY’S SCRIPTURE: Psalm 125:4, NLT- O LORD, do good to those who are good, whose hearts are in tune with you. TODAY’S WORD: David was careful about who he allowed in his ear. When Samuel came to choose the next king, David’s father didn’t believe enough in him to call him in from the shepherds’ fields. Feeling the sting of rejection, he could have let his father’s opinion of him cause him to be insecure and intimidated. David’s oldest brother, Eliab, tried to make him feel small, as if he wasn’t up to par. When David told King Saul he wanted to fight Goliath, Saul said, “Don’t be ridiculous! You’re just a boy.” If David had listened to those voices, we wouldn’t be talking about him. The enemy would love to use people to discourage you, to talk you out of your dreams, to convince you to live intimidated by giants. But you wouldn’t be facing a giant if you weren’t already equipped to defeat it. If that obstacle was too big, God wouldn’t have put you there. Tune out those negative voices. Tune in to what God says about you. You’re a giant killer, a history maker, a barrier breaker. PRAYER FOR TODAY: Father, thank You that I am not limited by what the people around me say or think about me. Thank You that You have equipped me to do what You have destined me to do. I will not allow others to get in my ear and put a limitation on what You have put in my heart. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

MORNING TEA ☕ WEDNESDAY AUGUST 13, 2025. CELEBRATE WHO YOU ARE. TODAY’S SCRIPTURE: Philippians 1:6, MSG- There has never been the slightest doubt in my mind that the God who started this great work in you would keep at it and bring it to a flourishing finish on the very day Christ Jesus appears. TODAY’S WORD: Too many people go through life feeling wrong inside. They get up every morning and take inventory of their faults and weaknesses. There’s nothing the enemy would love more than for you to go through life focused on your failures, how you don’t measure up, being against yourself. Don’t fall into that trap. When he whispers those condemning thoughts, “You blew your diet. You were late to work. You lost your temper. You gave in to that temptation,” just remind yourself that you are not a finished product. You may have some things wrong with you, but you have a lot more right with you. Learn to celebrate who you are and not beat yourself up because of who you’re not. God is changing you from glory to glory. You don’t have to be a finished product before you feel good about yourself. The more you give God thanks for what He’s done, the more He releases strength, favour, and new levels. Keep honouring God, being your best, and He’ll get you to where you’re supposed to be. PRAYER FOR TODAY: Father, thank You for the good work You’re doing in my life, and I am convinced that You will keep developing and bringing it to full completion. Thank You that I can be free from the enemy’s condemnation. I declare that I will not be moved from believing. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

MORNING TEA☕ THURSDAY AUGUST 7, 2025. IMMOVABLE. TODAY'S SCRIPTURE: Acts 20:24, NKJV- “But none of these things move me; nor do I count my life dear to myself, so that I may finish my race with joy.” TODAY'S WORD: It’s great when feelings assist us, when we feel hopeful, positive, and encouraged. But you can’t depend on those feelings because they come and go. Feelings can lead you astray. If you’re only going to have a good mood if things go your way, you’re setting yourself up for disappointment. That’s surface living. You have to go deeper and say as Paul did, “None of these things move me. I’m not going to let other people, delays, or what doesn’t work out sour my day.” In other words, turn it over to God. You’re not supposed to go through life carrying around worries, stress, disappointments, and discouragement. Yes, you have some negative feelings, but you don’t have to let the feelings have you. You may feel upset, but you don’t have to act on it. You may feel offended, but you don’t have to take the offence. You may feel discouraged, but you can override it with thoughts that are full of faith, hope, and expectancy. Get your mind going in a new direction and choose to have a good mood. PRAYER FOR TODAY: Father, thank You that I can shut the door on the negative feelings that come against me and keep what You have promised and said about me close to my heart. Thank You that none of these things need to move me. I declare that my hope and expectancy are in You. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

AFTERNOON TEA☕ THURSDAY JUNE 12, 2025. RICH IN MERCY. TODAY’S SCRIPTURE: Ephesians 2:4–5, ESV- But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved. TODAY’S WORD: It’s easy to believe that God will bless us when we’re doing what’s right and making good choices. But the beauty of the mercy of God is that even when we make mistakes, when we’ve done the wrong thing, He doesn’t say, “Too bad. You had your chance, but you blew it. Now you’re on your own.” No, His mercy covers you. His mercy is bigger than any mistake. He is not holding that against you. God will not only help bring you out of the trouble, He’ll help clean up the mess and cause something good to come out of it. If this is going to happen, you can’t sit around feeling guilty, condemned, and beating yourself up because of past mistakes. It takes a boldness to believe that God will bless you in spite of what you’ve done. The accuser will say, “You made the mess. You went the wrong way. God’s not going to listen to you. Who do you think you are?” Answer back, “I am a child of the Most High God. I am redeemed, forgiven, and covered by mercy.” PRAYER FOR TODAY: Father, thank You that You are rich in mercy, and nothing is too hard for You to work out in my life. Thank You that You never give up on me when I’ve gone my own way and failed. Help me to hear Your word and simply believe that You will work wonders for me. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

It’s Okay to Be Assertive: Here's How To Tackle Toxicity at Work 👇🏽 Scenario: You’re in a virtual meeting, and a colleague dismisses your idea with a sarcastic remark, leaving you feeling humiliated. Over time, this behavior becomes a pattern—interruptions, blame-shifting, credit-stealing—slowly creating a toxic environment. Staying silent may seem easier in the moment, but silence only allows such behavior to persist and worsen. Assertiveness is the antidote. It’s not about being confrontational but about standing up for yourself with confidence and respect. Addressing toxic behavior early on helps protect your well-being and fosters a healthier workplace culture. Here 10 Moments Where Silence is Not an Option: 1. Frequent interruptions: Don’t let your voice be drowned out. Speak up politely but firmly. 2. Disrespectful tone or language: Address it calmly, such as, “I feel this tone isn’t productive for the discussion.” 3. Credit-stealing: Diplomatically reclaim ownership of your ideas. 4. Blame-shifting: Clarify facts and roles to avoid being unfairly targeted. 5. Passive-aggressive comments: Address the behavior directly and seek clarification. 6. Micromanagement: Push back on overreach respectfully by emphasizing your autonomy. 7. Ignoring boundaries: Reinforce your availability and work hours when interrupted outside them. 8. Gossip or exclusion: Either redirect the conversation or address the behavior constructively. 9. Bullying or harassment: Always confront or report inappropriate behavior to HR or leadership. 10. Unrealistic demands: Discuss priorities and the need for support to avoid burnout. Be the Colleague You’d Want to Work With The golden rule applies here: “Treat others as you want to be treated.” If someone tells you your behavior bothers them, listen, apologize sincerely, and make changes. We all have blind spots, and being open to feedback helps prevent unintentional harm. Here are 5 effective tactics to protect yourself and prevent bad behavior from spiraling out of control: - Set boundaries clearly and early. - Address issues calmly but directly (involve a decision-maker if you can). - Document incidents for accountability. - Seek support from HR, a major decision maker or trusted colleagues. - Prioritize your emotional well-being and always be polite. As Mahatma Gandhi said: “You may never know what results come of your actions, but if you do nothing, there will be no result.” Speak up for respect and fairness. Let’s foster healthy workplaces where professionalism thrives. P.S. Have you ever faced workplace toxicity? How did you handle it?

𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗽 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴! 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗔𝗿𝗲 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗢𝘄𝗻 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗲𝘁𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻. It's Weekend already! This week went by pretty fast. Let's have an honest conversation about something we've all felt but rarely discuss openly. You know that feeling when you catch up with old friends? That subtle ache in your chest when you see your peers landing dream jobs, buying homes, or reaching milestones you're still working towards? I've been there. We all have. That moment when you wonder, "Am I falling behind?" But here's the truth I've learned along my journey: 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝒐𝒏𝒍𝒚 𝒓𝒂𝒄𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒕𝒓𝒖𝒍𝒚 𝒎𝒂𝒕𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒔 𝒊𝒔 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒐𝒏𝒆 𝒃𝒆𝒕𝒘𝒆𝒆𝒏 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒚𝒆𝒔𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒅𝒂𝒚 𝒔𝒆𝒍𝒇. Think about it for a moment. When you feel that rush to "catch up," ask yourself: Catch up to what? To whom? Every person you see as "ahead" is running their own unique race, with different: -Starting points -Challenges -Resources -Life circumstances -Personal definitions of success Here’s the truth: the real competition isn’t out there—it's you vs. you. Every single day, the version of yourself from yesterday is your only rival. 𝘚𝘰 𝘴𝘵𝘰𝘱 𝘵𝘳𝘺𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘰 𝘧𝘪𝘵 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘦𝘭𝘴𝘦’𝘴 𝘫𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘯𝘦𝘺 𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘰 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘴𝘵𝘰𝘳𝘺. Some people are late bloomers, but that doesn’t make their growth any less valuable. It's about the lessons, the persistence, and the courage to not back down. 𝑰𝒏𝒔𝒕𝒆𝒂𝒅 𝒐𝒇 𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒑𝒂𝒓𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒄𝒉𝒂𝒑𝒕𝒆𝒓 3 𝒕𝒐 𝒔𝒐𝒎𝒆𝒐𝒏𝒆 𝒆𝒍𝒔𝒆'𝒔 𝒄𝒉𝒂𝒑𝒕𝒆𝒓 30, 𝑳𝒐𝒐𝒌 𝒊𝒏𝒕𝒐 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒎𝒊𝒓𝒓𝒐𝒓, 𝒄𝒉𝒊𝒏 𝒖𝒑 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒇𝒐𝒄𝒖𝒔 𝒐𝒏 𝒘𝒓𝒊𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒐𝒘𝒏 𝒔𝒕𝒐𝒓𝒚. Remember: You're not behind. You're not early. You're right on time for YOUR journey. As we head into the weekend, this is another chance to strategize, reflect, and do a little bit more. Keep challenging yesterday’s version of you, and never forget that progress is progress, no matter the pace. I'd love to hear from you: What's one way you've grown compared to your past self? Share your thoughts in the comments below. Happy Weekend!!! #SelfGrowth #PersonalDevelopment #MindsetMatters #YouAreYourCompetition #WeekendMotivation #ProgressNotPerfection #Inspiration

Alx9jaCommunity #Day3 #LinkedInChallenge #BlessingUzoamakaexperience about a Time When Something Didn't Go as Planned: How I Navigated the Situation, the Lessons Learned, and Growth system I've faced numerous challenges throughout my career, but one particular incident stands out as a pivotal moment in my Career development . #Projectmanagement During a crucial project, I was assigned a task that I initially believed was straightforward. However, as I delved deeper into the work, I realized that there were several unforeseen complexities. Rather than #panicking, I took a step back to assess the situation. I reviewed the project goals, the specific requirements for the task, and my own understanding of the project's scope. I realized that my initial interpretation had been somewhat flawed. Instead of feeling embarrassed or overwhelmed, I decided to be open and honest with my team. I shared my misunderstanding and sought their input. Together, we reviewed the task, clarified any ambiguities, and realigned my efforts with the project's objectives. Through this experience, I learned several valuable lessons.👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇 ♧♧ The Importance of Self-Assessment: Even as a team leader, it's crucial to regularly evaluate your understanding of tasks and goals. ♧♧ The Power of Open Communication: Sharing your mistakes or misunderstandings can foster a more collaborative and supportive team environment. ♧♧ The Value of Teamwork: When faced with challenges, working together as a team can lead to more effective solutions. ♧♧ This experience helped me become a more adaptable, resilient, and effective leader. I learned to embrace challenges as opportunities for growth and to approach setbacks with a positive mindset. #Alx9jaCommunity #Leadership #OvercomingChallenges #PersonalGrowth
