READ, PROVERBS 28:19-25
faithful person will be richly blessed. Proverbs 28:20, NIV

Be Faithful in Service

Sometimes we’re frustrated because we know we have more in us but we’re not seeing it happen. David was anointed to be the king, then God sent him back to the shepherds’ fields to care for sheep. Your anointing will supersede where you are right now. But David didn’t slack off or have a sour attitude in the mundane when no one was watching him. Thirteen years later, after being faithful in the shepherds’ fields and going through all kinds of unfair situations with King Saul, David suddenly took the throne. Passing the test in the ordinary days is what leads to exceptional days.

As with David, you may know you have more in you. You can feel the seeds of greatness, but you’re doing something menial, something below your training. Are you being excellent where God has you now? Be faithful in the routine. Be faithful when nothing exciting is happening or changing. If you are being your best where God has you now, serving and giving with a good attitude, God will take you from the background to the foreground.

A Prayer for Today
“Heavenly Father, thank You for calling me to be faithful in the routine, knowing that You are preparing me for the new things You have in store. Thank You that You will take me from the ordinary to the exceptional. I’m going to keep being my best, serving and loving right where I am. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”

READ, HABAKKUK 3:17-19
…yet will I rejoice in the LORD! I will be joyful in the God of my salvation.
Habakkuk 3:18, NLT

Be a “Yet” Person

The prophet Habakkuk was saying, “My crops didn’t bloom, my fields are empty, and my cattle are gone. I am feeling discouraged, defeated, and depressed.” He didn’t deny what he felt, but he also didn’t let his feelings dictate his life. He added one little powerful word—“yet.” He was saying, “All that’s happened to me will not control my attitude. Yet will I rejoice. Yet will I be joyful, knowing that God is fighting my battles.”

Feelings can be very powerful. Overwhelming negative feelings may come to you but do as Habakkuk did and add the “yet.” Don’t let the feelings have the last word. “I had a bad break, yet will I rejoice.” “The medical report isn’t good, yet it won’t steal my peace and joy.” “Coworkers aren’t treating me right, yet I know God is my vindicator.” When you add the “yet,” angels go to work. When you choose to praise instead of complain, forces of darkness are broken. When you’re consistent, stable, always in a good mood, thanking God that He’s working, you’re a Habakkuk. You’re a “yet” person.

A Prayer for Today
“Heavenly Father, thank You that I can rejoice in You, knowing that You are the God of my salvation and that victory is on the way. No matter what my circumstances look like, I know You are greater than my circumstances. I declare that I will yet praise You and keep rejoicing. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”

TODAY'S DEVOTION

READ, 2 KINGS 19:29-35
That night the angel of the LORD went out and put to death a hundred and eighty-five thousand in the Assyrian camp.
2 Kings 19:35, NIV

LOOK BACK AND SEE

In 2 Kings 20, soon before king Hezekiah received a promise of healing from God and then asked for a sign of assurance, he had seen the greatest victory of his life. The powerful Assyrian army was about to attack Jerusalem, but when Hezekiah prayed and asked God to help them, that very night an angel destroyed 185,000 Assyrian soldiers. Hezekiah and the people of Judah were spared. You would think Hezekiah wouldn't need a sign for his promised healing. He had just seen a supernatural victory.

But how often do we forget what God has done? As with Hezekiah, God has shown up and turned things around for us. He's healed us, protected us, freed us, promoted us. If you need a sign, look back at the goodness of God in your life. Look back at how He gave you strength, how He promoted you and gave you breaks, how He turned your child around, how He brought someone great into your life to love. When you need evidence, look back at the faithfulness of God.

A Prayer for Today
"Heavenly Father, thank You for the history that I have with You and for the mercies You have shown out in my life. Thank You that I can remember Your constant goodness and every victory You've given me. I declare that Your faithfulness is all the evidence I need. In Jesus' Name, Amen."

09/12/2025

When the weight of the world presses against my chest and the storms rise higher than my strength can reach, I do not tremble. I stand. Because I know this truth, the Lord is my refuge and my strength.

When fear comes knocking, dressed as uncertainty, dressed as failure, dressed as the unknown, I look it in the eye and remember Who walks with me. I am never outnumbered. I am never uncovered. I am never alone.

In the quiet hours when doubt whispers that I am not enough, His voice speaks louder, “Be still. I am with you.”
In the loud moments when life feels too heavy, His hand becomes my anchor.
In the battles I did not choose, He becomes my shield.

So whom shall I fear?
Not the valleys, because He lights my path.
Not the mountains, because He strengthens my steps.
Not the enemies, because He fights my battles.
Not tomorrow, because He holds it.

I move with confidence not because I am strong, but because He is.
I rise each morning not because the journey is easy, but because He walks before me.

The Lord is my refuge. My fortress. My strength.
And with Him by my side, fear has no voice, no power, no place.

TODAY'S DEVOTION

READ, JOSHUA 10:1-15
There has never been a day like it before or since, a day when the LORD listened to a human being. Joshua 10:14, NIV

Bold Prayers

In Joshua 10, Joshua was winning a battle against five armies, but darkness was coming and the enemy would escape, so he prayed a bold prayer. He asked God to stop the sun in place. In the natural, there’s no possibility of this, but God created the solar system. He spoke the universe into existence. He can stop what He wants to stop and still cause it to work. The next verse simply says, “So the sun and the moon stood still until the Israelites defeated their enemies.” No big explanation for this amazing occurrence. God is not intimidated by bold prayers, and He’s not at a loss to figure out how to bring about His purpose. Stopping the sun was no big deal.

Are you praying bold prayers? Maybe not for the sun to stop, but how about for your child to do something awesome, for you to set a new standard for your family, for you to accomplish that dream that seems far out? God put the desire in you. Perhaps He’s just waiting for you to ask Him in prayer and the answer is coming. Pray and act on your purpose.

A Prayer for Today
“Heavenly Father, thank You for giving me every reason to believe You for above and beyond the natural. Thank You that nothing and no one is more powerful than You, and I can believe You for the extraordinary. I believe that You are going to show out in my life as You did with Joshua. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”

You can be highly educated and still lack wisdom and manners🤗

Today I had an encounter that reminded me of this truth in the most dramatic way.
Someone came to me for help, and after listening to his story, I realised the person who could assist him was his former supervisor a Dr something. Medical? Academic? I honestly don’t know.

So I politely asked for the doctor’s number and called him.
The greetings went well. I introduced myself, my position, and why I was calling.

Then came the shocker.
He replied, “In what capacity are you calling me for over the weekend?”
The English alone nearly sent me to the floor, but the tone, the coldness, the bitterness, even worse!

I calmly asked if his weekend starts on Friday. He confidently said yes.
I asked when I should call, he said Monday.
I said okay, but still went ahead and probed further. He gave answers that didn’t even make sense, and at that point my spirit started questioning whether he was a Dr by vibes and ambition.🤭

✅️But here’s the thing:

This is not the first time I’ve encountered such behaviour. Some people carry titles but lack the grace that should accompany them.
Some hold degrees but not decency. Some have education but no emotional maturity.
Wisdom my people is not in books, it’s in character because at the end of the day, it costs absolutely nothing to be kind.
✅️Your attitude is your true qualification.
✅️Your manners speak louder than your title.
✅️And your humility will always take you farther than your degree.
✴️Be educated, but more importantly, be human.
It doesn’t hurt to be nice. Always.🙏✨

What Are We Preserving This Season?

Many of our foods go to waste not because we don’t have enough, but because we don’t preserve what we already have. As we enter this season of abundance, it’s time to rethink how we handle our harvests and household supplies.

Benefits of Food Preservation

1️⃣Reduces Waste:
Preservation helps us save what would otherwise be thrown away. Every tomato, mango, pumpkin, or vegetable stored properly is money saved and food secured.

2️⃣Ensures Year-Round Availability:
Whether it’s drying vegetables, fermenting, canning, or freezing, preservation guarantees access to nutritious foods even in off-seasons when prices rise.

3️⃣Protects Nutrients & Health:
Properly preserved foods maintain their vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. This strengthens our immunity, improves dietary diversity, and enhances overall health.

4️⃣Saves Money:
Buying or harvesting in bulk and preserving reduces the need for constant shopping, protects against price fluctuations, and stretches every kwacha further.

5️⃣Supports Household Food Security:
Preservation creates a buffer, especially for families in rural areas. When unexpected challenges arise, preserved foods become a safety net.

6️⃣Encourages Value Addition & Income Generation: Dried vegetables, fruit jams, herbal teas, pickles, and sauces can all be sold. What starts in your kitchen can become a side business.

✅️This season, let’s shift from waste to wisdom.
Start preserving TODAY! Dry it. Freeze it. Can it. Ferment it. Turn it into a product.
Your kitchen can be a center of nutrition, savings, and sustainability.

✅️The food you preserve today is the health, wealth, and security you’ll enjoy tomorrow.

What’s for lunch today?

As for me, it’s butternut, packed with vitamin A for sharp vision, vitamin C for strong immunity, and fibre for a healthy, satisfied gut. It’s low in calories, supports heart health with its potassium, and offers natural antioxidants that reduce inflammation. A simple meal, but full of powerful nourishment. What are you having? 🍽️💛

One of my workmates told me today, “Madam Sylvia, you look very happy!”
I simply smiled and gave the answer I always give:

“I am always a happy person.”

Because happiness is not an event.
It’s not something I wait for.
It’s a decision I make every single morning, to rise above pressure, to choose peace, to protect my energy, and to show up fully in every space God allows me to enter.

Joy doesn’t mean life is perfect.
It means I refuse to let anything dim my light.

So yes, I am happy, consistently, intentionally, unapologetically.

Choose your happiness. Own it. Live it.✨

TODAY'S DEVOTION

ROMANS 8:12-17
So you have not received a spirit that makes you fearful slaves. Instead, you received God’s Spirit when he adopted you as his own children. Now we call him, “Abba, Father.”Romans 8:15, NLT

Start Thinking Like a Son

Are you living like a child of God, knowing that you have rights of sonship, knowing that God is pleased with you, that He is longing to be good to you, that “it is the Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom”? Or are you living like a slave, feeling unworthy, like you don’t deserve God’s goodness? Why don’t you start believing that you’re His child? You’re already in the family.

Even though the enemy has been taken care of, even though the oppressor is defeated, he will work overtime trying to remind you of all your mistakes, making you feel guilty and unworthy. He’ll still whisper lies. “You’re not supposed to be blessed. You’ll always be addicted.” What he’s really saying is, “You’re a slave. Just accept it.” Tell him, “No, you have the wrong person. I’m not a slave; I’m a son. I’m blessed, I’m prosperous, and I’m a difference maker.” You’re not going to qualify as a son when you perform well enough. You’re a son right now. Get rid of that slave mentality and start having an abundant mentality.

A Prayer for Today
“Heavenly Father, thank You that You have not only freed me from sin and guilt, but You have defeated the enemy. Thank You that I am not a slave but I am Your child. I believe that I don’t have to perform well enough to qualify but that I am Your child now. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”

👧🏾👧🏾👧🏾 A Car Ride That Touched My Heart ❤️

On our way to school yesterday, the girls and I were listening to a radio discussion on disability. What started as a simple conversation became one of the most beautiful lessons I’ve ever witnessed.

Luumuno: “Mummy, what is disability?”
I was still thinking of how to explain it when her sister jumped in.

Lubona: “It’s when someone’s body works differently… maybe they can’t walk, or see, or do things the same way we do. But they are still people like us.”

Before I could smile, Luumuno whispered another question:

Luumuno: “Can someone be born without a brain?”

Lubona shook her head confidently. “Everyone has a brain, that’s how we think and feel.”

Then Lushomo, with her proud science voice, added:

“Actually, the medulla oblongata helps the brain send messages. It keeps us alive.”

Luumuno looked outside the window and said softly:

“So, even people with disabilities have hearts that feel and brains that think?”

Lubona: “Yes. They just do things differently. And we must be kind to them.”

Luumuno: “Mummy, when I grow up, I want to help people who feel left out, so they know they're loved.”

And in that moment, I realised, Empathy is not taught. It’s shown. And children absorb it like light.

💛 Let’s raise children who see beyond differences.
Let’s raise children who choose kindness.
Let’s raise a generation that uplifts, not isolates.

🧡 Disability is not inability, it is simply diversity in human ability.
