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.

MORNING TEA☕ MONDAY AUGUST 25, 2025. THE ONE THING. TODAY’S SCRIPTURE: Philippians 3:13, TLB- I am still not all I should be, but I am bringing all my energies to bear on this one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead. TODAY’S WORD: Some people say the richest place in the world has to be the diamond mines in South Africa or the Middle Eastern oil fields, but it’s in graveyards. In the graves are buried dreams, books that were never written, songs that were never sung, businesses that were never started, inventions that were never developed, relationships that were never formed. So many people never developed the gifts and talents God entrusted them with. What could you be at this time next year if you got rid of the distractions and things that are not producing good fruit and put all your efforts into the main thing that you know God put in your heart? It may mean taking a class, getting things lined up to start that business, and finding a mentor who can help develop your skills. You may be good at doing many things, but you can’t do many things great. Sometimes we’re too spread out. Paul says, “This one thing I do.” Find that one thing and excel at it. Find that one thing and do it to the best of your ability. PRAYER FOR TODAY: Father, thank You for the gifts and talents You have given to me which are unique to my life. Thank You that creating me to develop them and use them to make a difference in the world. I declare that I will focus on that one main thing that You put in my heart and excel at it. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

EVENING TEA☕ MONDAY AUGUST 11, 2025. THE POWER OF ONE KIND WORD. TODAY’S SCRIPTURE: Proverbs 18:4, NLT "Wise words are like deep waters; wisdom flows from the wise like a bubbling brook." TODAY’S WORD: People are thirsty. People have gone through heartache. They’ve been pushed down by life. When we think of healing for them, we may think of praying for them, but we need to realise that our words have healing power, like life-giving water. When you’re kind, when you’re encouraging, when you don’t just think something good but you take time to verbalise it, you’re being a healer. We don’t realise the power of one kind word, the power of a simple compliment, the power of “I believe in you. You’re going to make it. Great things are in store.” Your words may seem ordinary to you, but when God breathes life into them, they become extraordinary to the other person. Somebody needs your healing words today. Somebody won’t get past the depression without you speaking blessings into them. Somebody will give up on their dream unless you step up and encourage them. Will you be a healer today? Will you use your words to lift people? PRAYER FOR TODAY: Father, thank You for the people You have placed in my life. I want to love them like You do. Thank You for transforming my ordinary words into life-giving water for others. I believe that You are making me into a lifter, an encourager, a healer. 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.

MORNING TEA☕ WEDNESDAY JUNE 4, 2025. IT IS YOURS. TODAY’S SCRIPTURE: Genesis 13:17–18, NIV- Go walk through the length and breadth of the land, for I am giving it to you.” So Abram…built an altar to the LORD. TODAY’S WORD: Abraham and his nephew Lot had such great herds and flocks that the land couldn’t support them both. Abraham allowed Lot to take the best land, with plenty of springs and lush pastures, and Abraham ended up with dry land that was not nearly as desirable. After this disappointment, after Abraham had to start over, God spoke to him today’s Scripture, and Abraham’s response was to build an altar. He didn’t have the land yet, but he thanked God that what He promised was on the way. He knew the power of an altar. God has whispered promises in your spirit that may seem impossible. Now, do your part and build the altar. Thank God that it’s on the way. Remind Him of His greatness. Go back over the times when God opened a door you couldn’t open or prospered you despite all the odds. When you look back at the altars you’ve built and thank God for what He’s done, that’s fuel for your faith. That makes it easier to build those altars looking ahead, thanking God for what He’s about to do. PRAYER FOR TODAY: Father, thank You that I am not limited by what the people around me do or how they treat me. Thank You that You can override difficult circumstances and bring about what You have destined me to do. I will not allow others to put a limitation on what You have put in my heart. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

MORNING TEA☕ SATURDAY MAY 31, 2025. NO MORE FOREVER. TODAY'S SCRIPTURE: Exodus 14:13, NKJV- Moses said to the people, “Do not be afraid. Stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD, which He will accomplish for you today. For the Egyptians whom you see today, you shall see again no more forever.” TODAY’S WORD: After Pharaoh finally let the two million Israelites slaves leave for the Promised Land, he soon changed his mind and came chasing after them. The Israelites reached a dead end at the Red Sea, but just because you run out of options doesn’t mean God has run out of options. God parted the water, and the Israelites went through on dry ground. When the enemy came chasing after them, they were all drowned. The Israelites saw those enemies no more. You may have situations that look as though they’ll never change. God is saying to you what He said to them. You’re about to see the depression no more. You’re about to see that struggle in your finances no more. God is about to release you into abundance. You might as well have a going-away party for the sickness that’s been hindering you. God is doing a new thing. Now, keep this tenacity in your spirit. Be more stubborn in your faith than anything stubborn that’s trying to stop you. You are well able to outlast what’s trying to stop you. PRAYER FOR TODAY: Father, thank You that You have broken the chain of any negative thing from my past that’s trying to hold me back. Thank You that You have so defeated the problem that I’m not even going to see it anymore. I’m going to start living like I am free and experience everything You have for me. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

MORNING TEA☕ WEDNESDAY JANUARY 22, 2025. ANOTHER CHANCE. TODAY’S SCRIPTURE: Lamentations 3:21-23 "But this I call to mind, and therefore I have hope: The steadfast love of the LORD never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness." TODAY’S WORD: We all have opportunities that we’ve missed and times when we failed. We knew God’s calling was on our lives. He’d given us a dream, a great spouse to love, a door had opened, but we let distractions and compromise get us off course. We look back and think, “What could I have become if I had been more disciplined, controlled my temper, finished school, or forgiven that person?” It’s easy to live in regrets and think our life is limited because of past choices. We knew better if only we’d done better. The good news is that God is the God of another chance. He’s full of mercy. He knew the times when you’d fail, shrink back, and compromise. When we don’t deserve it, He steps in and says, “I’m giving you another chance to have a great relationship, to accomplish the dream, to step into your purpose. It’s not too late.” You haven’t made too many mistakes. God’s calling is still on your life. He never changes His mind. He doesn’t disqualify you. Now don’t disqualify yourself. Receive His mercy. PRAYER FOR TODAY: Father, thank You for Your mercies that are new every morning and for Your great faithfulness to me. Thank You that I can start every day new, rejoicing and expecting a great day. I declare that I will keep setting my mind for victory and the abundance of Your favour today. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

“After oil and gas industry, Pentecostal churches have become the most lucrative business in Nigeria. I’m not aware of any oil magnate who owns as many as three private jets, but I know a Nigerian pastor who does.” — Nigerian Bishop, Godfrey I. Onah

𝗚𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘁𝘂𝗱𝗲: 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝗶𝗹𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗰𝗲 𝗕𝗲𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝗠𝘆 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀 Reflecting on the journey these past few weeks, gratitude has been my quiet powerhouse, and it’s humbling to look back and recognize what it’s brought my way. I’m grateful for the opportunities to learn and grow, from tackling new projects and responsibilities in Product Management and Project Management to honing my skills in community building and Virtual Assistance. Each step has added more knowledge to my skill set and has broadened my perspective. I’m grateful for the powerful impact of teamwork. Working alongside dedicated team members, mentors, and leaders who push boundaries with creativity and resilience has shown me just how much can be achieved when we work with a shared vision. I’m grateful for the unexpected challenges, the ones that seemed impossible at first but ultimately taught me resilience, grit, and the art of looking for solutions in odd places. Every twist in the road has strengthened me and shown me just how adaptable we can be when we embrace growth. I’m grateful for my family and the gift of friendship, everyone cheering me on, whether it’s here on LinkedIn or in everyday conversations. Each of you has reminded me to keep striving and to remember the value in what we’re building together. Lastly, I'm grateful for the strength and peace my relationship with God, my Heavenly Father brings. His grace upon my life, I cannot deny. His presence guides me through challenges and fills me with gratitude, reminding me I’m never alone on this journey. Today I'm grateful. I truly am.

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?
