The Laughter That Didn't Fool God - RESET TABLE

Welcome to THE RESET TABLE 

"The Laughter That Didn’t Fool God"

Wednesday, 16 July 2025

Dear Friends,

Welcome to this week’s The Reset Table, your mid-week space for sacred pause, soul healing, and emotional clarity.

In a world that rushes us through pain and pushes us toward performance, this is your gentle invitation to breathe, reflect, and remember that you matter, and your healing matters too.

We sometimes laugh…

Not because things are funny.

But because they’re tiring.

* Too long. Too hard. Too late.

So we smile. Nod. We say “It is fine.”

We look up. And say "It is well."

But the truth? We know!!

It is not fine. All is not well.

And God knows it too....

So, the story goes, that Sarah laughed too......

It was not out of joy... 

It was disbelief.

She had waited so long for the promise.

Waited many years for a breakthrough. 

So, her laughter was her defense.

> “After I am worn out… will I now have this pleasure?” (Genesis 18:12)

She was not mocking.

She was masking.

Masking her pain. 

Her Disappointment.

Her "Hopelessness."

But here is the power of that moment:

God heard her laughter.

And He didn’t rebuke her.

He reaffirmed the promise.

📌 My dear friend, maybe you have laughed like that too.

That empty kind of laugh that hides a thousand letdowns.

But God sees beyond your smile.

He hears the ache behind your laughter.

And He still asks you, right now....

> “Is anything too hard for Me?”

He is not fooled by your brave face!! 

No!! 

And He is not offended by your tired hope.

In fact, He’s preparing your fulfilment in those same places you gave up on it.

********************

📌 THIS MIDWEEK RESET:

You don’t need to pretend with God.

He welcomes your honesty.

* Even when your belief sounds like sarcasm.

* Even when your dreams feel too ridiculous to hope for again.

You may have laughed off some promises.

But God didn’t laugh about them.

He remembered.

********************

MID-WEEK SOUL REFLECTION:

> What if your laughter was actually a whisper for help?

Maybe the answer is closer than you think.

********************

💃🏾MID-WEEKLY AFFIRMATION:

"God is not offended by my weariness. 

He remembers my waiting, and 

He honors my hope....

even when I laugh to protect myself.”

********************

> “God doesn’t just see your tears. He understands the pain behind your laughter too.”

God Hears the Whispers - Devotional

Restorative Devotional

"God Hears the Whispers Too"

Wednesday, 16 July 2025

Dear Friend,

There are moments in life when your prayers are not loud. When your strength is gone. When you don’t even know what to say! 

So, you say nothing.

Just sighs. Just whispers. Just tears that speak on your behalf.

But this is the good news:

God doesn’t need volume to hear you.

He is not limited to words. He listens to hearts. He hears the whisper of your soul and the ache you can not explain.

“Before they call, I will answer; while they are still speaking, I will hear.”

(Isaiah 65:24)

* You’re not invisible. 

* You’re not forgotten. 

You don’t need to scream to be seen by Heaven.

You can whisper from your pillow, and God will still respond from His throne.

Some of the greatest miracles began in silence.

* Hannah didn’t shout. She wept.

* The woman with the issue of blood didn’t even ask. She touched.

* The paralytic’s friends did not preach. They lifted.

💧 God responds to the language of faith, not the loudness of your voice.

So if all you can do today is whisper “Help me,”

that is more than enough.

********************

🙏🏾 Today’s Prayer

* "Lord, thank You for hearing even the quietest cries of my heart.

* When I am too tired to speak, teach me to rest in Your presence.

* Thank You for being close to the brokenhearted and attentive to my soul’s whisper.

Amen.

Serve Before You Sell - Brand New Day

A BRAND NEW DAY

Wednesday, 16 July 2025

Serve Before You Sell

Dear Friend,

Over the past few weeks, a few of my close friends have asked,

“Are you being paid for all this free information and free training? Are you actually making money?”

The Igbos in Nigeria understand the principle of Apprenticeship because they understand the principle of Sowing and Reaping! Each trader serves as Mentor to younger ones in pre-agreed years of  Apprenticeship.

After their years as "Apprentices," the Mentors generously "settle" their Mentees into their own business. You reap what you sow if you serve well or not.

The concern of my friends is very genuine, and they mean well. 

After all, in today’s digital age, it seems like everyone is trying to sell you something:

* A product.

* A service.

* A course.

* A dream.

But here’s the truth that the smartest entrepreneurs already know:

> Service sells better than sales.

> "He who waters others, shall himself be watered!"

When people know you care, they listen.

When people sense your heart, they trust.

And when trust is built, income follows — naturally.

🎯 If your first instinct is to offer value —

* To answer questions before they’re asked…

* To share insights, solutions, or encouragement…

Then you’re already building a brand that people won’t forget easily.

---

📌 Ask yourself today:

* Who am I helping?

* What problem am I solving?

* How can I serve before I speak of being paid?

One of Ireland’s senior, experienced and deeply respected Christ Apostolic Church pastors, Pastor Isaac Adewola, used to run free training sessions on Sales Principles.

He introduced the late Zig Ziglar to us. 

Zig was a legendary speaker, sales trainer, and author. And yet, one of his most powerful quotes was not about selling. It was about serving:

> “You can have everything in life you want if you will just help enough other people get what they want.”

Coming from a sales expert, this may sound ironic. But it is deeply biblical.

---

🙏🏽 Look at these timeless principles:

💃🏾 “A generous person will prosper; whoever refreshes others will be refreshed.”

💃🏾 “Give, and it will be given to you — a good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over…”

> Helping others is like planting seeds.

* Some will bloom quickly.

* Others take time.

But when you plant one good seed, your harvest can return in tens, hundreds, and even in thousands.

Many people may wish to reap what they did not sow. That is to be expected. 

Yes! Some people may use you.

Some may give little in return.

And yes, some seeds yield nothing.

But why should that be your focus.

Do you imagine that the farmer does not know that some seeds will yield no harvest? Yet, daily, he goes out with seeds to plant. 🪴🤔 

Keep sowing anyway.

> Because what YOU sow, you WILL reap.

---

📣 People are not just buying your offer....

They’re buying into your spirit, your attitude, and your intention.

These things are contagious. 

And they are powerful.

> Sow before you reap.

There is seed time.

And there is harvest time.

Both are two parts of one Law of Nature. 

But, if you don’t sow… 

there’s simply nothing to harvest.

So I encourage you today:

💥 Start small.

💥 Stay real.

💥 Serve deep.

That’s how you sell with grace.

That’s how you build lasting success.

That’s how you build a life of impact.

---

> “Long-lasting business is not built on pressure, but on presence.

Serve first. The rest will follow.”

Fake Online Ads Target Micheál Martin and Other Irish Leaders in Deepfake Investment Scam Again

Beware: Scam Ads Using Micheál Martin's Image to Promote Fake Investments

Yinka Dixon ~ 15 July 2025

A concerning trend is resurfacing online!! Scam advertisements falsely claiming that the Irish Prime Minister, Micheál Martin is endorsing a so-called "lucrative" investment scheme.

This is entirely false.

In recent days, I came across one of these ads on social media. It was hosted on an obscure website with an image-heavy layout. 

It featured headlines like “Martin’s latest move shocks the banks!” or “Ireland's Prime Minister urges citizens to invest now!”

This is a common scam tactic aimed at luring people into parting with their money. DON'T FALL FOR IT.

The ad linked to a page that mimicked legitimate news sites but pushed users to deposit funds into what appeared to be a crypto-based platform.

‼️ What is Really Happening?

These ads are part of a growing wave of deepfake and impersonation scams that exploit the names and images of high-profile figures.

They’re not endorsed by any government, politician, or legitimate financial institution. 

Similar scams have misused other Irish leaders like Leo Varadkar, and even international public figures, to promote fake investment platforms.

🔎 The Facts

• Micheál Martin has publicly disavowed any connection to these scams.
• In 2023, he took legal action against Google to uncover those responsible for the fraudulent ads.
• These scam ads have been viewed millions of times according to The Irish Times and Independent.ie.
• The Garda National Economic Crime Bureau continues to warn the public about AI-generated scams.

🛡 How to Protect Yourself

• Never trust investment ads with sensational headlines using celebrity or political endorsements.
• If an ad urges urgency or guaranteed profits... it is a red flag.!!
• Always check the domain name. Example: floridatwirling.com is not a credible news source.
• Report scams to platforms like Facebook or via FraudSmart.ie.

💬 Final Thoughts

In our fast-moving digital age, scammers have learned to weaponize trust. But we can fight back with awareness, critical thinking, and community vigilance.

Let’s stay alert, share this information, and protect one another, especially our seniors, newcomers, and digital beginners.

🙌 And on a Final Note...

Micheál Martin is the current Irish Taoiseach (Prime Minister) since January 2025. He is a Fianna Fáil party politician who previously served as Taoiseach from 2020 to 2022, then as Tánaiste, Minister for Foreign Affairs, and Minister for Defence from 2022 to 2025. He has led the Fianna Fáil party since 2011 and was Opposition Leader from 2011 to 2020. (Wikipedia).

Still Chosen. Still Called - Devotional

NEW BEGINNINGS DAILY RESTORATIVE DEVOTIONAL

Tuesday, 15 July 2025

Still Chosen, Still Called

Scriptural Basis: “You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit; fruit that will last.”

— John 15:16 (NIV)

---

She was rejected for the role... again.

This time, it felt final. After years of studying, praying, volunteering, serving, and waiting, nothing seemed to open up.

"Maybe I missed my moment," she whispered to herself, holding back her tears.

But here’s the truth: 

God doesn’t "un-choose" what He has already chosen.

* You may feel forgotten or sidelined. * You may feel too old, too late, or too unsure.

But God's purpose for creating YOU, has never been based on YOUR emotions... It is anchored in God’s intention, purpose, and plan!!

You are still chosen.

Still called.

Still appointed to bear fruit.

Not random fruit. 

Not seasonal fruit.

But lasting fruit.

---

💡 LIFE APPLICATION

Today, think back to all the things and places where you have (by your own self) disqualified yourself because of delay or discouragement.

Revisit that dream, that idea, that prayer.

📍 It is not over.

📍 Heaven hasn’t changed its mind.

📍 The door may look closed, but the call is still open.

---

🙏🏾 DECLARATION PRAYER

Father, remind me that I am still chosen, still called, and still yours.

Even when I can’t see the full picture, I will believe You are still writing my story. It is not over, until You say so.

O Lord, nobody but You, knows your plans for me as I go through each day, even if they act like they do.

Open those closed doors Lord, and lead me into pathways beyond human understanding. 🙌 

Strengthen me to walk in my calling, no matter what the world sees or what those around me, may say.

Amen.

Consistency Beats Intensity - Brand New Day

“Consistency Beats Intensity”

A BRAND NEW DAY
Tuesday, 15 July 2025

Dear Friend!

In a world where people celebrate instant wins and overnight success, it's easy to feel like you’re not doing enough, especially when you're building something like a business, slow and steady.

But here’s the truth:

The brightest stars are not the ones that burn out fast.
They’re the ones that keep shining, steadily, day after day.

* You don’t need to go viral to be valuable.
* You don’t need a flood of followers to be faithful.

* You just need to show up!! Again and again.. even when the applause is quiet or none at all.

************
📍 The real breakthroughs happen in the ordinary days…

The days..
* When no one is watching,
* When it feels repetitive,
* When you choose discipline over drama,
* And you choose purpose over pressure.

📍 That is where your business grows.
📍 That is where your influence deepens.
📍 That is where your gift is refined.

************

📌 Consistency isn’t boring!! 
It is powerful.

* It is the secret sauce behind every lasting brand,
* very trusted voice,
* And every financial breakthrough.

📌 ACTION POINT:

Today, I urge you to choose one thing that you will stay faithful to.
* Even if it’s small.
* Even if you’re tired.

📍 Your quiet consistency will speak louder than any "loud launch" ever could.

You've heard the saying;
"Little drops of water makes the mighty ocean!"

You've probably also heard this saying in scripture (re-hashed):

"Have you seen a man who stays steadfast to his calling,  to his business, to his "truth....? He shall stand before Kings, and not before mean men.."

He does not go looking to "stand" before Kings!

But because of his consistency, when it is TIME for recommendation, someone somewhere, will say of him, "I KNOW A MAN... CONSISTENT AS CLOCKWORK..." 
That man will be you!"

The person who recommends you may be someone you don't even know!
And it will amaze and shock you!

People (good and bad) are watching!

May grace speak for you beyond the reach of men & women with evil minds, plans, and intentions. Amen.

Never ignore the days of SMALL BEGINNINGS....

Just stay consistent, and turn up every day!!
The sun always shines again after each storm.

Can We Still Sit at the Same Table? What If Mornings

Can We Still Sit at the Same Table?

What-If Mornings with Dr. Yinka Dixon

Season 2 Episode 3 (S2-E3) 

– July 2025 

🔗 Listen on Spotify

---

What if sitting at the table again wasn’t about restoring the relationship, but reclaiming your peace?

Hello dear friend,

Welcome to this month’s heart-stirring edition of What-If Mornings with Dr. Yinka Dixon, where we pause to reflect, realign, and renew.

One voice. One thought. One shift at a time.

This July, I’ve been thinking about tables.

Not just the physical ones.

But the emotional ones.  

Those sacred spaces where trust, love, hurt, and sometimes silence, gather.

There’s a moment in every healing journey where you’re faced with a choice:

* Do I sit again at the table with someone who once broke me?
* Do I risk presence after pain?

Or…

* Do I stay away, keeping peace by keeping my distance?

But what if… the answer is neither?

What if you can show up - not to fix, not to return, but to reclaim your place in the world as someone whole again?

---

🎙️ This month’s question:

Can we still sit at the same table?

Not for reconciliation, but for reclamation.
Not to deny the wound, but to declare the healing.

We have often been taught that forgiveness means returning to the place where you were hurt, or reconciling with the person that hurt you.

But.. What if that is not entirely complete as a healing action? 

Perhaps Forgiveness is just means release yourself from more pain.

Maybe showing up at the table is not about pretending it didn’t happen, but about showing that the pain did not "finish" or destroy you.

---

💭 Let’s reflect:

• What if sitting again was an act of courage, not comfort?

• What if healing meant boundaries, not blame?

• What if you are the healing energy the room now needs?

This month, I invite you to listen, to breathe through the discomfort, and ask:

Can I sit with myself fully, before I sit with anyone else?

Your Gift is Not Too Small - Brand New Day

BRAND NEW DAY

Monday, 14 July 2025

YOUR GIFT IS NOT TOO SMALL

📌 Focus Thought:

Too many people bury their brilliance because they think it’s not big enough, loud enough, or shiny enough to make a difference. But God never needed big to do great.

Moses had only a stick.

David had just a sling.

The widow had a small jar of oil.

And a little boy had two fish and five loaves.

What do you have?

💡 The truth is, God breathes on what we offer.

And when Heaven breathes, multiplication happens.

Your insight, your story, your talent, your idea... they all carry more weight than you realize.

Even if no one has clapped for it yet, it still counts.

Every solution that changed the world began with one person offering what they had.

Don’t downplay your gift. 

Don’t hide your brilliance.

The gift God gave you is an answer to someone’s prayer.

Stop shrinking to make other people happy.

Your gift will only get sharper, bigger, better, more profound....  when you use it.

Don’t Lose Faith in the Middle - Restorative Devotional

NEW BEGINNINGS DAILY RESTORATIVE DEVOTIONAL

Edition #013 – Sunday, 13 July 2025

Don’t Lose Faith in the Middle

“Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.”
— Galatians 6:9 (NIV)

 

A lady I know once started a community kitchen during the pandemic. Nobody saw the pandemic coming. Throughout that first week, only one customer turned up. That week, her food was wasted. The next few weeks were not encouraging, either.

In fact, no one actually turned up for the business launch or opening day. 

By the third month, she decided it was best to quit. 

But something in her heart whispered, “You’re not done.”

So, she stayed.

Two years later, the local news covered the same kitchen. By then, she was serving over 300 people a week.

There is always a middle moment in everybody's story, and in every single journey.

That is the part that doesn’t look anything like the promise.
The stretch between “I started” and “It worked, hurray.”

That is the point where faith gets tested.

It is where the enemy plants all the lies that are easy to fall for.
But it is also where God grows those roots that you don't see.

📌 If you’re in the middle, tired, doubting, discouraged, hear this: You’re closer than you think. Don’t give up now.

💡 LIFE APPLICATION:

Pause today and ask: “Where have I grown weary?”
Reignite your ‘why.’
Pray over it.
Take one small action.
Hold your ground...... even in the silence.

🙏 Declaration Prayer:

Lord, I trust You even in the middle.
When the outcome feels far, give me strength to keep sowing.
I believe a harvest is coming. Amen.

Clarity Over Confusion - Brand New Day

A BRAND NEW DAY

Theme: Clarity Over Confusion

Edition #13 : Sunday, 13 July 2025

---

In a noisy world, clarity is power.

When you're unclear, everything feels urgent. 

Every new idea feels like “maybe this is it.”

But confusion is not your portion.

God is not the author of confusion. He leads with peace, precision, and purpose.

Sometimes clarity doesn’t come from more information.

It comes from quiet reflection, wise questions, and intentional steps.

Remember: Clarity is not a lightning bolt. It often comes like the sunrise - slow but certain.

---

🎯 Today’s Micro-Move:

Ask yourself:
“What is the one next step I know I must take, even if everything else is unclear?”
Then do just that. One step at a time, the fog lifts.

---

🙏🏾 Affirmation:

I refuse to stay stuck in confusion. I make room for clarity, courage, and calm decisions.

A BRAND NEW DAY

Saturday, 12 July 2025
 

Theme: “Start Small, Stay Steady”

🎨 Inspiration from Henri Matisse:
"There are always flowers for those who want to see them."

Even when life feels slow or uninspiring, there’s beauty in small beginnings.

 

📍Brand New Day Message:
 

You don’t have to leap forward to move forward.
Progress often looks like little seeds of action watered with consistency and grace.

 

There is power in steady steps.

Don’t despise small beginnings.
Every forest started with a seed. 

Every breakthrough began with a first “yes.”

 

Start small. Stay steady. Trust God.

Do one small thing toward a goal you’ve been dreaming about, even if it’s just a 10-minute brainstorm or creating a folder for the project.

You Are Not Too Late for Purpose - Restorative Devotional

NEW BEGINNINGS DAILY RESTORATIVE DEVOTIONAL

Edition #011 – Friday, 11 July 2025

Theme: You’re Not Too Late

Scripture:

"The glory of this latter house shall be greater than the former," says the Lord of hosts.

~ Haggai 2:9 (KJV)

Message:

There’s a voice that creeps in when you hit 40… 50… 60…

That voice whispers:

“It’s too late.”

“You’ve missed your chance.”

“Others are far ahead.”

But the Word of God always counters the lie.

God is not stuck in time!! He created time.

What seems like delay may be divine preparation.

And what looks like the end of a chapter may actually be the beginning of a testimony.

Abraham was nearly 100. Moses began at 80.

Even Jesus didn’t begin His public ministry until 30.

Hear this : There is no Expiry Date on Purpose. 

Even when the world writes you off, God writes you in.

Even when you feel like you’re walking into a season “late,” God says,

“I’ve just been preparing the table for you.”

You’re not too old.

You’re not too late.

You’re right on time… for your New Beginning.

💡 LIFE APPLICATION:

Stop apologizing for your age or your pace.

Instead, show up with wisdom, courage, and grace.

God’s glory in your latter days will be greater..... if you can dare to believe it.

🙏 Declaration Prayer:

Lord, thank You that my story is not over.

I surrender the fear of being late and embrace the truth that You make all things beautiful in Your time.

Lead me forward with peace, purpose, and boldness. Amen.

📖 Bible in a Year Reading:

📚 Genesis 35–37

(We previously repeated Gen 30–31. Thank you for your understanding as we grow together.)

"Delay is not denial. God’s timing is not just perfect!  It’s purposeful."

Creativity Takes Courage As Much as Starting Again - Brand New Day

 

🌞 A BRAND NEW DAY

Friday, 11 July 2025

Theme: You’re Not Starting from Scratch

🎨 “Creativity takes courage.”

– Henri Matisse

So does starting again.

Too often, we disqualify ourselves from restarting a project, business, or idea because we feel we failed the “last time.”

But here’s the truth:

You’re not where you used to be.

You’ve learned. You’ve grown. You’ve survived.

You’re starting from strength, not scratch.

📌 Today’s Micro-Move:

Revisit an old plan or idea with fresh eyes.

What could be different now? You will never know till you try again!

🌀 Affirmation:

I honour the wisdom I’ve gathered.

I start again, stronger than before.

"You’re not starting from zero!! You’re starting from wisdom, from lessons, and from grace."

📖 SCRIPTURE:

“She gave this name to the Lord who spoke to her: ‘You are the God who sees me.’”

~ Genesis 16:13

📜 MESSAGE:

Hagar had no voice. No title. She had no one who was standing up for her. But in the wilderness, when life felt like a runaway journey... God saw her.

And HE sees you.

Many times on our journey through life, we feel alone, isolated, and sometimes, lonely! You think of "who to call," not to borrow money, but, just to say a simple "hello." 

And you hold your phone. No one readily comes to mind! You feel you may be disturbing them. You are not in anybody's "close" buddy or paddy "circle." You drop your phone, and you fall asleep.

It's true, scripture says, "to have friends, you must yourself, be friendly." (Proverbs 18:24). But, is it really "that simple?" 

I learnt very early in life, that "your best friend has a best friend." But, as you try to get closer to become their friend, they are busy discussing you with their own best friends, and you are not part of that conversation. 

Such is life. You end up remaining "in your lane," as we say in Nigeria. And many people are weeping silent tears because being alone is not easy. It can lead to loneliness. 

God sees your tears, your silent frustrations, the effort you make that nobody claps for. He sees every effort you make. 

In His TIME, your "sunshine" will appear. Your "day" will break, and your Maker will shine through without your effort. At that time, you will not need any particular "one." God Himself will create a friendship around you.

You’re not invisible. You're not forgotten. You are seen, deeply, wholly, lovingly.

💡 LIFE APPLICATION

Today, instead of striving for recognition, rest in the assurance that you are seen by the One who matters most.

🙏 DECLARATION PRAYER:

My God who made me and who sees me. I thank YOU that I am not hidden from You. You know my name. You know my pain. You are rewriting my story with grace and love. I choose to rest in Your love today. Amen.

📖 BIBLE IN A YEAR:

Genesis 32–34

(We previously repeated Gen 30–31. Thank you for your understanding and grace, as we grow together.)

Today, choose to nurture it with faith, not frustration.

A BRAND NEW DAY

Thursday, 10 July 2025

“Don’t measure your day by the harvest you reap, but by the seeds you plant.”

When Nothing Looks Like Its Working -Restorative Devotional

🌅 NEW BEGINNINGS DAILY RESTORATIVE DEVOTIONAL

Edition: #009

Date: Wednesday, 9 July 2025

.

Theme: When Nothing Looks Like It’s Working

SCRIPTURE:

"They that sow in tears shall reap in joy."

— Psalm 126:5

MESSAGE:

Sometimes it feels like your prayers are hitting the ceiling. You’ve obeyed. You’ve given. You’ve waited. And still… no breakthrough in sight.

Years ago, one of our top pastors introduced me in the middle of a church minister's meeting. The room was full.

He said: "This is pastor Yinka. She's a very gifted, very intelligent and hard working. She's well read, and sharp, but God is yet to do it for her."

Yeah! You read that right. 

"GOD IS YET TO DO "IT" FOR HER.

I was too ashamed to ask what he thought God was meant to do, but I never went back to his church. 

I had been brought up under the ministry of late Archbishop Benson Idahosa, in those days, years ago in Benin City, Nigeria. I was just 20 years old and was not a minister, but I learnt enough to understand that, only the counsel of God can stand, alongside my faith.

I didn't get annoyed, and would great him very well, anytime I meet him. But, I never forget that he was "waiting for God's manifesting in my life." So, God has taken me "through the valley of the shadow of death." And I'm still here.

I am in awe of how far and how deep God has taken me through that valley, and still standing bold and strong! If I was a man, the story will be different. I would be applauded and hailed and elevated and celebrated. 🥳 🎉 

But, you must know WHO you are and WHY God has invested so much in your life. If you don't know, you will run around fighting for posts and jobs that you are not called to do. 

You will end up in another person's mission doing what you were not sent to do. And it will all be WRONG!! You will always resemble a square peg in a round hole, or like a fish out of water, no matter how hard you try.

But here’s what many don’t realize: Heaven doesn’t simply record results. 

Heaven records obedience.

When Elijah sent his servant to look for signs of rain, there was nothing!! SIX TIMES.!!! 🤔

But he kept sending him. Why? Because Elijah knew what God said, even if the sky still looked empty 🙏🏾

Faith doesn’t always look fruitful at first. And progress is often invisible before it becomes undeniable.

If your life feels “stuck” right now, just keep obeying the foundation of your faith.. 

Keep showing up. Keep trusting. Delay is not denial. 

What looks invisible is being built in the realm you cannot see… yet.

LIFE APPLICATION:

What is one thing God has already told you to do but you’re tempted to give up on because nothing has changed? 

Write it down. Speak over it. 

Do it again. Heaven keeps scores.

DECLARATION PRAYER:

Lord, remind me that my faith walk is not about fast results but faithful obedience. I trust You even when nothing looks like it’s working. I declare that my harvest is on the way, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

BIBLE IN A YEAR:

Genesis 30–31

QUOTE OF THE DAY:

"Obedience is the seed. Faith is the water. Trust is the sunlight. The harvest always comes — never early, never late."

Laugh Again, Live Again - The Reset Table

🍽️ THE RESET TABLE 🍇🦐🍟🍰

Edition #001 | Week of Monday, 7 July 2025

MID-WEEKLY PROMPT:

Laugh Aloud Again. Live Life Again.

My Dear Friend 🧡 

This week at THE RESET TABLE …

We’re letting go of hidden despair, and daring to believe again.

Just like Sarah, your life may not look "picture perfect" like you would love it to be, but that doesn’t mean God is done with you.

You are not too late.

You are not too old.

You are not too poor. 

You are not too "forgotten."

This week, I dare you to take time to reflect on what you stopped believing or hoping for. 

Was it healing? 

Peace of mind? 

Love? 

A second chance? 

Purpose? 

A Wish for your family?

Something about your children?

Joy? 

One Winning Business idea? 

Restoration?

What?

Take time to reflect on it. Revisit it. Think about that thing! 

RESET TABLE FAITH:

God is still in the business of Working Wonders!! He is still able. And He still writes beautiful stories. 🕺💃🏾 

🤺 RESET TABLE EXERCISE for You to Do!:

+ Write a “Faith Letter” to your future self, not based on where you are right now, but based on what God can still do! 

+ Seal it with a prayer. 

+ Place it somewhere sacred.

📌 Optional: Date it for ONE YEAR from now and REVISIT it.

+ Remember the SAFE PLACE you will keep it... 🏀💃🏾✍️

+ Then, Trust God for His Grace.

🔁 RESET TABLE AFFIRMATION:

I give myself permission to laugh again. 

I will no longer shrink my dreams to fit my fears.  

I am becoming, by God's Grace 👑 

I am entering into my New Season of Grace 👑 🙌

Discipline is What Builds Destiny - Brand New Day

A BRAND NEW DAY

Wednesday, 9 July 2025

Theme: Discipline Builds Destiny

“Discipline is choosing what you want most over what you want now.” 

~ Craig Groeschel

Wednesday is not the end of your strength! It is not the halfway mark to your business "rest period." It is the beginning of your next breakthrough.

Many people wait to be motivated before they will act. This is not what successful people do. 

Successful people move with discipline, not with feelings. They do the work, even when it’s hard, messy, or invisible, and especially when no one is clapping! 👏🏼 

📌 Your Business Reset Tip:

Don’t wait to “feel ready.” Make one strategic move today. Just one. 

✍️ Send that follow-up email. 

🎙 Record that video. 

📖 Draft that offer. 

That's how you build something that lives beyond your comfort zone.

Affirmation:

I am choosing progress over procrastination. 

I move forward in discipline, even when it looks or feels hard. 

My vision is worth my time, my devotion, my dedication.

Now, if you can't do any of this right away, maybe because you're still at work, don't worry. Set a Date with yourself to invest in yourself and your business. 

Honour your date and time each day. You only need at least, 15 minutes of each day, to invest in yourself and your project or business. 

Then, watch your results grow! And keep going. 🚶🏽‍♀️ 🚶‍♂️

“Clarity grows in consistent spaces. When you honor your rhythm, your results start to honor you.”

Who Do You Think You Are? You’re Not Too Small - Restorative Devotional

NEW BEGINNINGS DAILY DEVOTIONAL

TUESDAY, 8 JULY 2025

Theme: You’re Not Too Small for Big Things

SCRIPTURE:

"But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise... the weak things... to confound the things which are mighty."

~ 1 Corinthians 1:27 (KJV)

MESSAGE:

There’s a voice that whispers: 

“Who do you think you are?”

It tells you that your past disqualifies you, your resources are too small, or your voice is not needed.

That voice is lying.

When God wants to make a statement, He often uses what the world considers small, weak, or ordinary.

He used Moses, who stammered.

He used David, the overlooked shepherd.

He used a widow with only a jar of oil.

And He still uses people like you.

Your voice, your skill, your journey..  THEY MATTER!!!

Stop shrinking.

You are not a mistake.

You’re not too old. 

You’re not too late.

You’re not too broken to be used.

THESE ARE THE BELIEFS YOU HOLD, WHICH CRIPPLE AND LIMIT YOU.

These could also be other people's views of you, or things you've heard them say about you. 

What does God SAY, about you?

PRACTICAL APPLICATION:

1. Write down one limiting belief you have carried, and replace it with one empowering truth from Scripture. 

2. Say it out aloud. Many times. 

3. Listen to yourself. 

4. Believe your own words.

For example:

🎁 When you doubt your abilities to overcome challenges:

🙏🏾 ~ Philippians 4:13

 "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."

🎁 When you're weak or need comfort and encouragement:

🙏🏾 2 Corinthians 12:9:

"My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me."

🎁 When you're afraid or discouraged or need to feel protected and secure.

🙏🏾 Psalm 27:1:

"The Lord is my light and my salvation— whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life - of whom shall I be afraid?" 

🎁 When you need confidence against obstacles.l:

🙏🏾 Romans 8:31:

"What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?" 

🎁 When you are discouraged and need assurance of God's supernatural presence and support.

🙏🏾 Joshua 1:9:

"Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go." 

5. Then do one bold thing today that reflects who you truly are becoming.

6. Activated your faith.. 

If you can't believe in or trust or have confidence in your own self, how can anyone else believe you? 

DECLARATION:

Dear Lord, I refuse to disqualify myself.

I am chosen, equipped, and useful in your hands.

Use even the “small” parts of me to make a lasting impact.

In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

QUOTE OF THE DAY:

"Your size doesn’t limit your impact. It’s your surrender that unlocks your influence."

— Dr. Yinka Dixon

Today, Walk in Boldness and full Confidence of Who You Truly Are. And let the heavens back you up!

🎯 Don't wait to "feel like it." 

Start anyway.

Make that one call.

Show up to the task even if your mood has not caught up yet.

You will be amazed at what gets activated once you begin. 

You have an unending powerful resource inside of you! 

You just need to start and keep going!

Today, be encouraged to move first.

Inspiration is a daily gift that follows your effort. 🎁💝 

AFFIRMATION:

I take initiative today, even if I don’t have all the answers or the energy. 

Momentum will catch up with me. 

Clarity will find me.

Grace will carry me forward.

You’re Not Too Late - Daily Restorative Devotional 002

New Beginnings Daily Restorative Devotional

Monday, 7 July 2025

Theme: You’re Not Too Late

Scripture:

"The vision is for an appointed time… Though it tarries, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not delay."

~ Habakkuk 2:3 (NKJV)

MESSAGE:

Sometimes we look around and feel like we’ve missed it. Missed the moment. Missed our window.

But God's calendar doesn’t run on panic or pressure. It runs on purpose.

Delay is not denial. 

Detour is not defeat.

Your journey is being edited, refined, and repositioned for "right timing," not just for "good timing."

Do you remember that Sarah laughed at the idea that her promise could still come true. Yes! Many of us laugh because we cannot SEE what God sees! Yet, at the appointed time, God's promise to her, "became!!"  (Genesis 21:2).

So breathe. You’re not too late.

You’re right on time for something new, something divine, something unshakeable.

LIFE APPLICATION:

What promise have you shelved because of delays?

What dream did you bury because “too much time has passed”?

Well, bring it back to God tonight. 

You may have let go, but you must believe that He did not forget, nor let go. 

DECLARATION PRAYER:

God of appointed times, thank You that my life is not behind schedule.

Tonight, I release the fear of delay, and I step back into agreement with Your timing. Alleluia!!

I will not settle for despair.

I will prepare for destiny. 

In Jesus' name, 

Amen.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:

Genesis 21–23

QUOTE OF THE NIGHT:

“God doesn’t need your perfect timing. He just needs your readiness when the time is right.”
