GOD DELIGHTS IN THE ONE WHO OBEYS HIM

Proverbs 15:8 says: “The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the Lord, But the prayer of the upright is His delight.”

This verse teaches us that God does not only look at what we offer Him but also at the state of our hearts. He is not pleased with sacrifices from a wicked person who lives contrary to His will. However, He delights in a person with an upright heart, even if they have nothing to offer Him.

This scripture paints a picture of our heavenly Father, who values His children not based on what they give but on how they live in obedience to Him. In everyday life, we often see favoritism within families. Some parents value their financially successful children more, without considering how they obtained their wealth. For them, money becomes the measure of their love for their children.

This same issue is seen in some churches, where certain pastors value congregants who give large offerings without considering whether their lives align with God’s will. But this is contrary to the nature of our God. He does not look at the size of your offering; He looks at your heart. He examines your life—are you living righteously? Are you walking in His ways?

To God, obedience is more valuable than a large offering given by someone living in disobedience. That is why we read in 1 Samuel 15:22 NIV: “To obey is better than sacrifice, and to heed than the fat of rams.” This means that God wants your obedience first; then, your offerings will be acceptable before Him.

This is also a call to all parents—not to show favoritism by disregarding children with less financial success while embracing those who give them money, despite knowing that their ways are ungodly. We should love and guide all our children with fairness, recognizing that character and morals are more important than financial success.

This does not mean that giving offerings is meaningless—absolutely not! Offerings are a part of worship. However, for them to be valuable before God, you must first live a righteous life before Him.

Prayer: Heavenly Father, teach me to live a life that pleases You. Give me a heart of obedience and humility before You. Lead me in Your ways and help me to be faithful to You every day. In Jesus.

HUMILITY: A SPECIAL MESSAGE TO YOUNG PEOPLE

The Holy Scriptures in 1 Peter 5:5 say:
"Likewise you younger people, submit yourselves to your elders. Yes, all of you be submissive to one another, and be clothed with humility, for “God resists the proud, But gives grace to the humble.”"

This is a strong message with clear guidance for young people. God wants you to wear humility like daily clothing—especially in how you relate to older people: parents, guardians, teachers, spiritual leaders, and all elders.

Today, culture, technology, and growing knowledge have greatly shaped the younger generation. But with these changes, morals have shifted, respect has decreased, and pride has become more common. Yes, young people today have education, exposure, and access to modern tools—but the real question is how these gifts are used.

Sadly, because many young people are more informed about modern things, some begin to look down on their elders, believing they are no longer useful. This attitude is showing up in families, schools, churches, and workplaces.

But remember: knowledge without honor is useless. Wisdom begins with the fear of God—and part of fearing God is respecting and honoring your elders.

Not everything new is better, and not everything old is outdated. Your success today should never make you look down on those who came before you, even if they don’t appear as “successful” as you.

Even in spiritual matters, you may have great anointing, spiritual gifts, or even lead a growing ministry as a young person. But that does not make you greater than those who taught you, raised you in faith, or prayed for your life and calling.

Humility is not weakness—it is strength.
It’s the very reason God will lift you up. He opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble. When you choose humility, you will see doors of grace open in your life.

Prayer: Lord Jesus, please give me a humble heart so I can respect and honor my elders. Amen.

ATTENTION PLEASE!!!!

There is a new scamming technique in town called
'JUMPED'.

A scammer sends you a real deposit of money into your phone using his number.

This is not a fake deposit he sends you money, a small amount like 20k or 30k and you won't even doubt it.

After sending this money he then launches a withdrawal on your alert sim. Number.

When you receive the message on your phone that you have received some money the natural thing is to be excited and then want to check your balance.

To check balance you'll need to enter your pin.

The moment you put a pin, you will have validated his withdrawal request on your account.

Your account will automatically allow his withdrawal request and take out the money.

The trick is to lure you with a small amount initially to steal from you.

To protect yourself from this scam whenever you receive such an unexpected deposit to check your balance first enter in deliberately the wrong Code Number.

This will cancel any withdrawal requests then thereafter check your balance with your real Code Number.

With these new electronic money transfers and Artificial Intelligence coming in let's do this all the time to avoid being fooled by these scammers who are always coming up with new methods to try and steal from us.

Always share such pieces of information with family and colleagues to keep them updated and always be alert.

PLS. BE INFORMED

**7 Business Mistakes to Avoid in 2025 if You Wish to Grow Your Business.**

**WARNING: IT’S A LONG READ. BUT IT MAY BE THE BEST READ THAT COULD SAVE YOUR BUSINESS.**

Knowing what to do to grow a business is as important as knowing what not to do or what to avoid. Certain business mistakes can offset your progress and delay your business growth. Some mistakes can even lead your business to an early grave.

---

**Mistake #1: AVOID HAVING MULTIPLE STREAMS OF INCOME OR DIVERSIFYING TOO EARLY.**

In 2023, a close friend of mine was running a successful mobile money booth business. His working capital was above K50,000. His booth was the busiest in the area because he offered reliable service delivery and consistently had cash available. His monthly income was pretty decent, and customers loved doing business with him.

One Sunday afternoon, I stopped by his business place. We talked about business, nice cars, and women. After some casual conversation, we delved into more serious business discussions.

"Mike, this new year, I want to grow my business," he said. "I also want to drive a Mercedes by the end of the year. I need your advice," he added.

"What growth plans do you have?" I replied.

"Well, in addition to my mobile money business, I hear the chicken business is profitable (good returns). I want to start rearing chickens. I’ve also saved up some cash, and I want to buy a car and put it on Yango as a taxi. I also saw a cheap plot somewhere in 10 Miles; I want to buy it and start building to explore the real estate business," he explained. He sounded so excited, just like most people who start businesses. He had made some calculations on his calculator about how much he was going to make. He was a "calculator millionaire."

He gave me the floor to speak. As you may know, I don’t waste time or try to sweet-talk people or sound cool. "Well, bro," I began, "what you’re trying to do is what I call business su***de. Don’t even dare do all those things," I yelled at him.

"Listen, mate. You’re a mobile money business expert. This is what you’re good at. All these years, you’ve been doing it, and it’s been working great for you. If you want to grow, open another one or two more mobile money branches and hire people to work for you. Since you’re already an expert, you’ll easily manage and excel in the new branches. Now is not the right time for you to diversify. Be patient. You’re not ready to diversify."

"Firstly, having too many businesses will
1. Dilute your capital and resources.
2. Dilute your focus
3. Dilute your Current customers satisfaction rating.
4. Dilute your Current business profits.
5. Dilute your commitment to your current business, and subsequently kill your current profitable business.

6. In addition, from a marketing perspective, it will disturb your business brand identity," I concluded.

"Switching to a new business now is like divorcing your wife for a girl with big hips whom you recently met at Grand Daddy’s Club."

"Ahh, Mike," he responded. "You sound jealous," he replied. "How come you have three different businesses, yet you don’t want me to do the same?" he asked.

I replied, "Well, listen. I have three businesses and 18 employees. Each business has its own working capital and a competent manager. Each business can run without my presence. I’ve trained people to run my businesses."

---

A few months later, it seemed like my advice had fallen on deaf ears. He purchased a taxi and put it on Yango. He began rearing chickens. He bought a plot and started building.

At this point, it was too late for me to give any further counsel. I simply said, "Congratulations on your new projects."

By mid-2024, his mobile money business began having cash flow problems. His Yango (taxi) business wasn’t doing well because he was new to the industry and was struggling to find adequate time to rear his chickens and learn about efficient taxi management. His taxi car caught frequent breakdowns, as if it had an Sti infection. It demanded spare parts every other week. It milked his Cash, more than a slay queen from kabwata.

On the other hand, he couldn’t go past window level at his house construction project in 10 Miles. He ran out of cash midway and couldn’t finish his house.

To mitigate this cash crisis, he borrowed some money.

Things went from bad to worse. He defaulted on his loans and was forced to sell the car. His mobile money business is currently walking on eggshells. Customers no longer frequent his shop because he’s usually without cash. His business is on the verge of collapse. It’s currently in the ICU at Levy Mwanawasa Hospital, grappling for survival.

**Moral Lesson:**
The single greatest startup lesson is **focus**. Once you identify a business that works for you, focus your growth strategy on it.

Before you start to diversify or engage in a new business, ensure the following conditions are met:

1. Your business has sufficient capital, such that diversifying into a new startup won’t destabilize your current business.
2. You’ve exhausted all possible growth markets for your current business.
3. You have proper systems in place.
4. You have a well-trained management team.
5. Your business can run for more than six months without your presence.

If the above conditions are not met, then you’re not ready to diversify. Diversifying too early may work against you rather than for you.

- Before Trade Kings diversified into other products, they only focused on Boom.
- Before Coca-Cola started making other drinks, they focused on Coke.
- Before Royalty Makeup & Hair started diversifying her business, she focused solely on makeup.
-Before Mwizukanji opened meatopia and stylo. she focused on her marketing business as a brand ambassador.

All these peoples success, can be traced from their ealier focus.

Only after they met the above five conditions did they begin diversifying.

The key takeaway lesson is **focus**, then diversify when sufficiently ready.

Remember, diversifying too early may work against you rather than for you.

Life as pushed as in different ways that same we thought that maybe we can't even pull through but God as been fighting for us in different ways
That we don't even understand.
Nobody knows how much I suffered this year.

I almost gave up and almost lost myself because I was hurting a lot. Nobody really knows how many times I pulled myself together just to survive this year, I am so proud of myself for being here. I’ve learned that I am a strong person. I also learned to forgive myself for letting myself settle for less than what I truly deserved. This may be the most painful year for me .

The need for connectedness (3)

“We are like the various parts of a human body.” Ro 12:4 MSG



Paul writes: “We are like the various parts of a human body. Each part gets its meaning from the body as a whole, not the other way around. The body we’re talking about is Christ’s body of chosen people. Each of us finds our meaning and function as a part of his body. But as a chopped-off finger or cut-off toe we wouldn’t amount to much, would we? So since we find ourselves fashioned into all these excellently formed and marvelously functioning parts in Christ’s body, let’s just go ahead and be what we were made to be…If you preach, just preach God’s Message, nothing else; if you help, just help, don’t take over; if you teach, stick to your teaching; if you give encouraging guidance, be careful that you don’t get bossy; if you’re put in charge, don’t manipulate; if you’re called to give aid to people in distress, keep your eyes open and be quick to respond; if you work with the disadvantaged, don’t let yourself get irritated with them or depressed by them” (vv. 4-8 MSG). Often unhappiness isn’t the absence of affection; it’s the absence of connection. It’s not in having a cell phone with a lot of numbers in it; it’s in sharing your life with those who live for causes greater than themselves. Where should you start? By visiting a lonely, forgotten person in the nearest nursing home. By volunteering to work in a soup kitchen once a week. By saying to your pastor, “Please give me a job that involves helping others.” These are small steps, but you will be amazed how they enrich your life.

The need for connectedness (2)

“Anyone who does not love remains in death.” 1Jn 3:14 NIV



There is a direct link between your health and your relationships. When you’re disconnected and isolated from others, you’re two to five times more likely to die than people with close ties! Even people with bad habits like smoking, overeating, and physical inactivity—but who remain socially connected—live longer than people with great health habits but who are isolated. We see the physical, life-giving power of connection in the life of Winston Churchill. He had a wonderful marriage, was deeply connected to his family, his friends, his nation, and his work. But his health habits were terrible. His diet was awful, and he constantly smoked ci**rs. He drank too much, had weird sleep habits, and was completely sedentary—yet he lived to ninety years old. That reminds me of the newspaper reporter questioning an old man about his longevity: “I suppose it’s because you take systematic exercise.” The man quipped, “The only exercise I take is acting as a pallbearer to my friends who have indulged in strenuous exercise!” (Note: We’re not condoning bad habits!) God said, “It is not good…to be alone” (Ge 2:18 NIV), because when you’re alone, you’re more likely to succumb to temptation and discouragement, become self-absorbed, and spend money in selfish ways. Not only do you suffer, the people God put in your life get cheated out of the love He intended you to share with them. You say, “But I’ve been hurt by people.” We all have. But just as the answer to a snakebite is snake venom, the answer to bad relationships is good relationships. And God has some in store for you—so talk to Him about it today.
