TODAY'S DEVOTION

READ, 2 TIMOTHY 4:1-8
Be prepared in season and out of season.
2 Timothy 4:2, NIV

BE PREPARED

When Paul told Timothy to "be prepared in season and out of season," he was talking about ministering, but the principle is true when you're waiting for God to do something. Stay prepared in your mind in season, when things are going your way, and out of season, when the medical report is not good, when your business slow down. Don't live discouraged and put God in a box that limits how He does it. Don't tell Him how or when to do it. No, get ready for God to show up out of season. God knows how to bring what you need.

The odds may be against you, and you don't see any sign of things changing. God is asking you what He asked Moses in Numbers 11: "Is there any limit to My power? Do you think the seasons can stop Me from doing what I want to do?" Take the limits off God. Start expecting, start believing. Don't be surprised when God shows up when you don't see Him.

A Prayer for Today
"Heavenly Father, thank You that You have never lost any of Your power, and You control the seasons and bring Your blessings to me in Your own way and Your own timing. When it looks too big for me, I know that with You all things are possible. I believe that You are not limited by any unfavorable conditions that I face. In Jesus' Name, Amen."

TODAY'S DEVOTION

READ, JOHN 14:25-31
ā€œā€¦but I will do what the Father requires of me, so that the world will know that I love the Father.ā€ John 14:31, NLT

What the Father Requires

As Jesus approached the time of the cross, He said the prince of this world was coming but had no power over Him. Then He added in today’s Scripture, ā€œBut I will do what the Father requires of Me.ā€ That last part is the key. We’re all going to face attacks, trouble, and opposition. The enemy will come, and he has no power over us, but we have to do what the Father requires. We can’t sit back and say, ā€œWhy did this happen? This is not fair.ā€ What the Father requires is that we move forward in faith.

Don’t let fear hold you back. The only tools the enemy has are deception and lies. The only power he has is the power you give him by believing his lies. He’s called the father of lies. There is no truth in him. Don’t believe the lie that a setback or illness is permanent. Don’t water down your dreams. The enemy is defeated. Now get your passion back and go after what God put in your heart.

A Prayer for Today
ā€œHeavenly Father, thank You that I can guard my heart and keep it free from all the lies and deceptions that try to keep me intimidated and living worried. Thank You that I can ignore the lies and believe the truth of Your Word. I declare that I will obey and do what You require. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.ā€

TODAY'S DEVOTION

READ, PROVERBS 28:5-10
Friends of troublemakers disgrace their parents. Proverbs 28:7, NCV

Avoid Troublemakers

Whether you think it’s true or not, the quality and character of your friends is having a great impact on your life. Are you hanging out with any troublemakers? By that I mean people who are dragging you down, not adding value to your life, not inspiring you to reach your dreams. For instance, you shouldn’t go to lunch regularly with coworkers who gossip, complain, and talk badly about others. Don’t keep meeting with the same people who cause you to compromise year after year. Don’t associate with someone who disrespects their spouse and puts down their family members. If your friend has an anger problem, it will rub off on you and you’ll become hot-tempered. No disrespect, but they are troublemakers. You are better than that, and you don’t need the poison they share.

What you’re unwilling to walk away from is where you’ll get stuck. So on a regular basis evaluate your friendships. Make sure you’re hanging around people who inspire you and make you better. If you will let go of the wrong people, God will bring you the right people.

A Prayer for Today
ā€œHeavenly Father, thank You for the friends in my life who inspire me, challenge me, and make me better. Help me to be wise about whom I spend my time with and to know the friendships I need to distance myself from. I want to walk with the right people. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.ā€

Do your kids like milk?šŸ˜…
Mine? Not so much.

Only two actually enjoy it, but in my house, everybody drinks milk, including me šŸ¤£šŸ„›

So what have I learnt? Presentation matters.

If I serve it in an ordinary cup, it’s a struggle.
But when I pour it into a fancy wine glass? Suddenly it’s ā€œspecial.ā€
When I add a little cocoa or NestlĆ© Nesquik? Now it’s exciting.
When I call it a ā€œpower drinkā€? They drink it with confidencešŸ’ŖšŸ½šŸ˜…

Sometimes nutrition is not rejected because children hate it, it’s rejected because it looks boring.

As a mother and health professional, I know milk is not just a drink. It’s:

āœ…ļøProtein for growth
āœ…ļøCalcium for strong bones and teeth
āœ…ļøVitamin B12 for brain and nerve health
āœ…ļøEnergy for active school days

So we make it fun. We make it attractive. We make it normal. Because healthy habits are built at home.

šŸ‡æšŸ‡² A Quick Zambia Reality Check

āœ…ļøIn Zambia, average milk consumption is estimated at about 20–30 litres per person per year.

āœ…ļøThe global nutritional recommendation is around 170+ litres per person per year.

āœ…ļøThat means we are consuming far less milk than recommended for optimal nutrition.

āœ…ļøIf we want stronger children, better concentration in schools, and improved nutrition outcomes, small habits like a daily milk break can make a big difference.

āœ³ļøSo yes, they may roll their eyes. But they will drink it šŸ˜…šŸ¤£ Because in this house, milk is not optional, it’s intentional.šŸ„›

I got over 1,000 reactions on my posts last week! Thanks everyone for your support! šŸŽ‰

27/02/2026

I did not come to play, oh wait, I actually did.šŸŽ±šŸ¤£

So there I was, minding my own business, holding the cue stick like a public health professional holding a microphone, with confidence and vision. The table was looking at me. The balls were looking at me. The pressure? Also looking at me.

Someone whispered, ā€œSylvia, just try.ā€

Try? TRY? I don’t try. I calculate. I assess. I implement strategic intervention. That's me🫔

I bent down like I was about to conduct field research. Angles were analyzed. Breathing stabilized. Tap. That ball traveled like it had received a government scholarship🤣, focused, determined, unstoppable. Straight into the pocket.
šŸ’ƒšŸ’ƒšŸ’ƒBut why did I score like I’ve been secretly training for the World Pool Championship?šŸ˜…šŸŽ±

Now everybody is acting like they ā€œknew I had it in me.ā€ Please. Five minutes ago you were doubting my coordination.

Moral of the story:
Never underestimate a woman who can run a University office, manage wellness programs, and clear a pool table.šŸ¤—

TODAY'S DEVOTION

READ, MARK 5:35-42
While he was still talking to her, messengers arrived from Jairus’s home with the news that it was too late—his daughter was dead and there was no point in Jesus’ coming now. But Jesus ignored their comments and said to Jairus, ā€œDon’t be afraid. Just trust me.ā€ Mark 5:35–36, TLB

Naysayers

Jesus told Jairus that He was going to go to his house to pray for his daughter who was very sick, but Jesus got delayed. When He heard the negative report that the girl had died, He didn’t pay any attention to it. He didn’t dwell on it. He didn’t let the doubt and negativity get in His spirit. Rather, He went and raised the little girl from the dead.

When you’re believing for your healing, believing for a promise from God, be selective what you dwell on and who you spend time with. There are going to be plenty of naysayers and doubters. They are dream stealers, people who will tell you all the reasons it’s not going to work out. ā€œMy cousin died of what you have.ā€ Let that go in one ear and out the other. When you’re fighting a battle, you don’t need to be around negative, defeated, ā€œcan’t do itā€ people. That’s going to talk you out of it. You need dream releasers, people who encourage you, believe with you, and build up your faith, not tear it down.

A Prayer for Today
ā€œHeavenly Father, thank You that no matter what happens in my life, no matter what seems delayed, You have the final say. Thank You that I can get my hopes up and choose to not dwell on negative reports. Help me to ignore the dream stealers and doubters and stay close to my dream releasers. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.ā€

TODAY'S DEVOTION

READ, 1 SAMUEL 18:20-30
Saul became even more afraid of him, and he remained David’s enemy for the rest of his life.1 Samuel 18:29, NLT

Don’t Give Away Your Power

King Saul grew jealous of David’s popularity and eventually tried to kill David, chasing him in the wilderness for years. It’s interesting that even though David kept doing the right thing, respecting God’s anointing on Saul and refusing to retaliate, God didn’t change Saul and suddenly make him like David. The reality is that some of the people who are not for you, who say untrue things about you, and who treat you badly may be that way your whole life. The question is whether you will allow your happiness to be dependent on other people. Don’t put your power in their hands.

What God has purposed for your life is not dependent on whether others approve you, accept you, or validate you. Quit worrying about what they think. Quit spending time and energy trying to defend yourself. Those are distractions. God has put greatness in you. He’s destined you to leave your mark, to set a new standard for your family. Just as He did for David, if you leave it in His hands, He will take care of those who are trying to stop you.

A Prayer for Today
ā€œHeavenly Father, thank You that I can trust You to take me through difficulties and unfair situations. Thank You that my joy and happiness are not dependent on others’ approval or acceptance. I believe and declare that You are my vindicator and that You will deal with those who oppose me. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.ā€

TODAY'S DEVOTION

READ, RUTH 1:6-18
Then Orpah kissed her mother-in-law goodbye, but Ruth clung to her....Ruth replied, "Don't urge me to leave you or to turn back from you. Where you go I will go, and where you stay I will stay. Your people will be my people and your God my God."
Ruth 1:14,16, NIV

TIME OF LETTING GO

Ruth and her sister-in-law, Orpah, both lost their husbands. Their widowed mother-in-law, Naomi, was moving back to her hometown. She told Ruth and Orpah to return to their hometowns and find new husbands, that there was no future in staying with her. Orpah kissed Naomi and moved on. But Ruth refused to leave Naomi and was determined to care for Naomi in spite of what it might cost her.

That tells me that if someone is supposed to stay with you, they'll stick with you through thick and thin. You won't be able to talk them into leaving. On the other hand, you can't convince the people to stay who are supposed to leave.

When God closes the door in a relationship, you can't pay them enough, compliment them enough, or treat them good enough. You have to accept that it's a necessary ending. You enjoyed the time together, but to become who you were created to be, you have to let them go so you can move forward into new relationships, new opportunities, new growth. Trust Him when you don't understand.

A Prayer for Today
"Heavenly Father, thank You that You are directing my steps even though the season of hurts, questions, and disagreements. Thank You that You bring people into my life and at times You move them out. Help me learn to accept Your sovereign plan, to stay in faith, and to see Your plan unfold. In Jesus' Name, Amen."

God does not fulfill promises in comfort zonesšŸ¤—

Every single time the promise of God came to pass in my life, it did not arrive softly.

It came with pressure.
With stretching.
With tears in the midnight hour.

I have cried.
I have doubted.
I have questioned heaven in whispers no one heard.

Because sometimes the weight of becoming is heavier than the comfort of staying the same.

But here is what I have learned:

God does not fulfill promises in comfort zones.
He fulfills them in crushing seasons. In waiting rooms. In silence. In moments where you feel forgotten.

The real question is not whether God has a plan for your life.

The real question is, Will you trust Him enough to wait for it?
Can you be still when nothing is moving?
Can you be patient when doors are not opening?
Can you believe when the evidence says otherwise?

Because delay is not denial.
Silence is not absence.
Pressure is not punishment.

It is preparation.

If God made the promise, He has already written the ending.

He has not forgotten you.
He has not misplaced your name.
He has not changed His mind.

Hold on.
Stay rooted.
Stay faithful.

The same God who allowed the weight
is the same God who will reveal the glory.

And when it comes to pass, you will understand why the waiting was necessary.
