EVENING TEA☕ TUESDAY NOVEMBER 18, 2025. IN THE POTTERS HANDS. TODAY'S SCRIPTURE: Isaiah 45:9, NLT - "What sorrow awaits those who argue with their Creator. Does a clay pot argue with its maker? Does the clay dispute with the one who shapes it, saying, 'Stop, you're doing it wrong!'" TODAY'S WORD: The Scripture says that God is the potter and we are the clay. The potter takes a lump of clay and spins it on his wheel. The clay could say, "I'm tired of going in circles. Let me off this wheel." The clay doesn't realize that while it's spinning, the potter is molding it. It's rising up from a lump of clay into a beautiful vase. After it has gone through the process, it would tell you, "I didn't like the spinning, but without it I wouldn't be what I am." You may feel like you're spinning today. You're doing the same thing over and over and don't see much progress. But when it feels like you're going in circles, something is happening that you can't see. You're coming up higher. God is molding your character. It may seem routine, but when you're faithful where you are, when you have a song of praise when you could be complaining, you're rising higher. Trust Him when you're spinning. Trust Him when you're in the routine. PRAYER FOR TODAY: Father, thank You that my life is in Your hands, and You are shaping my life like a potter not just my dreams and goals, but my character. Thank You that You are working in the routine to mold my life into Your image. I trust You whether I’m seeing progress or not. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

AFTERNOON TEA☕ CONNECT WITH THE RIGHT PEOPLE. THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 25, 2025. TODAY’S SCRIPTURE: Luke 5:7, NLT - A shout for help brought their partners in the other boat, and soon both boats were filled with fish and on the verge of sinking. TODAY’S WORD: In today's Scripture, because Peter obeyed Jesus' instructions to try again after having fished all night and caught nothing, he was blessed with favour and caught so many fish that his net began to tear. But notice that he had so many fish that his partner's boat was also full of fish. When you're connected to someone who's favoured, as they increase, you will increase from their overflow. Some blessings belong to you that are attached to people whom God has put in your life. If you're not seeing any fish, evaluate who you're connected to. You need to disconnect from relationships that are not producing any increase and connect with people who are seeing favour. You need people who are taking new ground, who think and dream bigger than you, and who will expand your vision and thinking for the new things God has in store. Look around and find the favourable connections in your life. PRAYER FOR TODAY: Father, thank You for the people whom You've brought into my life to recognise, to respect, and connect with. Help me to be wise and honour them, sow into them, learn from them, and partner with them. I believe that You are taking me higher. 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.

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☕ 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☕ 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 ☕ SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 6, 2025. DO IT IN ADVANCE. TODAY’S SCRIPTURE: Genesis 12:8, NLT- There, he built another altar and dedicated it to the LORD, and he worshipped the LORD. TODAY’S WORD: In Genesis 12, God told Abraham that he was going to become the father of many nations, that his descendants would own all the land, that he was going to be blessed and become a great blessing. When Abraham heard this incredible promise, he built an altar and worshipped the Lord. What’s interesting is that the promise hadn’t come to pass. He wasn’t a father, and his wife, Sarah, was barren. He didn’t own any land. Yet he built an altar simply to thank God for what He promised. This is showing us a principle. Don’t wait for the promise to come to pass. Thank God in advance for what He said He would do for you. “God, You said my children will be mighty in the land.” Your child might be running with the wrong crowd, but build your altar now. Thank God before you see the promise. That’s what faith is all about. When God sees your altar, when He hears you thanking Him, praising Him, declaring His goodness, that’s when doors will open, healing will come, and favour is released. PRAYER FOR TODAY: Father, thank You that my faith and trust are anchored to You and the promises in Your Word. Thank You that I don’t have to be moved by the tests and troubles I face because I am fully persuaded You will do what You promised. I declare that my hope is in You. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

AFTERNOON TEA ☕ FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 5, 2025. TAKE THE LIMITS OFF. TODAY'S SCRIPTURE: Ephesians 2:6-7, AMPC- "He raised us together with Him…that He might clearly demonstrate through the ages to come the immeasurable (limitless, surpassing) riches of His free grace (His unmerited favour)" TODAY'S WORD: Sometimes we think so small. We limit our possibilities and potential. When God sees you, He sees all your potential. God knows what you’re capable of. His grace and favour in your life enable you to become what He sees. But first, you have to open your heart and take the limits off your life. How do we limit God? We limit God in our thinking. Thoughts of doubt, unbelief and unforgiveness in your heart will close the door to His favour. In Mark 6, it says that Jesus could do no great works in a particular town because of the unbelief of the people. It works the same way today. On the other hand, when you choose thoughts of faith and expectancy, you are opening the door for God to work in your life. You are taking the limits off. You are allowing Him to multiply what you have in your hand. Choose to take the limits off by choosing His thoughts of victory. Choose thoughts of increase and blessing. As you do, you’ll rise higher and higher and live the abundant life He has prepared for you! PRAYER FOR TODAY: Father, I choose faith! I choose Your unlimited grace and favour. I choose to believe that You have good things in store for me. You use me for Your glory in Jesus’ name. Amen.

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☕ HAPPY NEW MONTH. MONDAY SEPTEMBER 1, 2025. FINISHED WITH FEAR. TODAY'S SCRIPTURE: 2 Timothy 1:7, NLT- For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline. TODAY'S WORD: So many people today are missing out on God’s abundant joy, peace and victory because they keep giving in to a spirit of fear. They are afraid to make a decision, afraid to confront issues, afraid to step out in faith, afraid of the past, and afraid of the future! But we don’t have to live that way. Always remember, fear is not from God. God has given you power, and His power is greater than any other power in the universe! You have to decide to confront and conquer fear head-on with the Word of God. His Word is truth that sets you free! You can’t be passive and expect to live in victory. The next time you feel fear, declare today’s verse in 2 Timothy 1:7. Tell fear it has to go and walk in freedom. Sing a song of praise and declare that God is empowering you. Focus on Him, find freedom, and move boldly into the blessing He has prepared for you! PRAYER FOR TODAY: Father, thank You for giving me power to overcome fear. I choose to face fear head-on and drive it out of my life. Show me any areas of my life where fear is holding me back so that I can press forward into the life of victory You have for me in Jesus’ name. Amen.
