MID-MORNING REFLECTION HOW DO WE TREAT OUR STAFF? A company is not built by buildings, equipment or money alone. It is built by people. Let us ask ourselves: • Do we speak to our staff with respect? • Do we appreciate their efforts? • Do we listen to their concerns? • Do we correct them with dignity? • Do we treat them the way we would want to be treated? Good leadership is not about being above people; it is about bringing out the best in people. “Do to others as you would have them do to you.” — Luke 6:31 Today’s thought: The way we treat our staff today may determine how they treat our customers tomorrow. Let us lead with respect. Let us work with dignity. Let us build together.

There are moments when life feels like a prison—when the chains are heavy, the pain is real, and the answers seem nowhere to be found. Paul and Silas knew what it meant to suffer. They were beaten, wounded, and thrown into prison. Their feet were fastened in stocks, and yet at midnight, instead of complaining, they prayed and sang praises to God. Their circumstances did not change their worship. They understood something powerful: JOY IS NOT FOUND IN PERFECT CIRCUMSTANCES. JOY IS FOUND IN JESUS. Maybe today you are carrying your own “chains.” Maybe you are facing financial struggles, rejection, disappointment, family problems, unanswered prayers, or a battle that nobody else knows about. You may not be able to change your situation immediately, but you can choose how you respond to it. Pray when you feel weak. Praise when you feel broken. Trust when you cannot understand. Worship even when the answer has not yet come. Paul and Silas praised God before the prison doors opened. Their praise was not based on what God had already done—it was based on who God is. And sometimes, your greatest testimony begins in the darkest place. The prison could hold their bodies, but it could not hold their faith. The chains could restrain their feet, but they could not silence their praise. The pain could hurt them, but it could not separate them from God. So if you're going through a difficult season right now, don't stop praying. Don't stop believing. Don't stop praising. Your midnight is not the end of your story. Keep worshiping. Because the same God who was with Paul and Silas in the prison is still with you in your darkest hour. Your joy is not in the situation. Your joy is in Jesus. “And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them.” — Acts 16:25 🔥 PRAISE HIM IN THE PAIN. TRUST HIM IN THE STORM. WORSHIP HIM IN THE MIDNIGHT. Because when Jesus is your source of joy, even a prison cannot steal your praise. 🙏🔥

MID-MORNING DEVOTION | 26 AUGUST 2026 “Treat others the way you would like them to treat you.” 📖 Matthew 7:12 As we go through this day, let us remember that our companions, friends, colleagues and neighbours also carry their own struggles. Let us speak with kindness, act with respect, show patience, and offer understanding. Before we judge, let us remember that we also need grace. Before we speak harshly, let us ask: “Would I want someone to speak to me this way?” PRAYER Dear Lord, help us to treat others with the love, kindness and respect we desire for ourselves. May our words encourage, our actions bring peace, and our lives reflect Your character. In Jesus’ name, Amen. May your day be filled with grace, peace and kindness.

Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them. Romans 16:17 While the Scripture admonishes us to love one another, it also reveals those we should avoid. And one of such categories of people to avoid which are those that cause division amongst us. We are not to hate them but to avoid them. Matter of fact, it is love to avoid them. They cause division by inciting others to hate another, bring gossip, give wrong interpretation, misinformation and always point out what is wrong or what is not done so as to bring conflict that leads to division. They are always offended and everything gets them angry. This is a tool in their hands to cause division. These kind of people will always find a way into our midst: in the church, family, business and association, and the best way to handle them is to AVOID THEM. Don't just relate with people, mark who they are and give them their rightful place. Don't mingle with people that cause division, they will take you away from your blessing. Interestingly, Miriam shows us the best reward for those who cause division. SELAH. YAHWEH IS ON YOUR SIDE TODAY PST EMAMUZO PETER
