  In life, most people measure success by luxury, power, and material possessions. Owning the best houses, cars, and investments seems to be the ultimate goal for many. While these things are undeniably important, what truly matters is influence. What we do with our wealth, power, and opportunities. Living a meaningful life is what defines our best existence.   There are many factors that contribute to a fulfilling life, but above all, it is what we do for humanity that counts. The impact we make in the lives of others is what truly reflects our purpose. As Matthew 25:40 states, "Whatever you do for others, especially those in need, you are doing for me." God does not accept material gifts directly. Instead, He receives them through the kindness we show to those in need. Developing people, attending to their needs, using our talents to uplift others, and giving hope in any way we can. These are the acts that define a life well-lived.   Martin Luther King Jr. onc...

Hello my dear friend, it's so good to write you again today. I hope you were blessed by last week's message, and I hope today's message will bless you more. Today I'll be writing on faith, and how it can change a lot in our lives, remember that faith is the substance of things hoped for, and the evidence of things not seen.  Many are times that we've been in unbelievable situations, and it felt like life was going to end, some of us have been in so many situations like this to the extent that these situations have now become a sort of consolation for our life challenges, when they come we just remind ourselves that we've been in worse situations, and God saw us through, and it works all the time. Thank God we don't look like what we have been through.  I was reading the bible days ago, and I came accross the story of elisha and his servant, when the king of Aram sent his Army to capture Elisha, the soldiers were so much that the servant was so afraid and was...

Happy new week my dear friend. Last week I talked about leaving the past behind. I hope you took something valuable from that message. Today I pray that each new day brings you the best. I also want to share a decision that changed my life and how you too can grow through whatever you are going through. When we were younger, there were times we looked at our peers and felt like we were not doing enough. This mentality often led to an inferiority complex, preventing us from taking bold steps that could have transformed our lives. Adulthood also comes with its own insecurities. The feeling of regret, believing there were things we could have done earlier to be in a better place now. At different points in life, we are haunted by what-ifs, but we must not let age define us. Many people give up on their dreams because they believe they are either too old or too young to achieve them, forgetting that success has no benchmark. It is surprising how some abandon lifelong dreams simply becau...

Some time ago, I found myself reflecting on friends and family members who have passed on. Some were younger than me, some older. Many of them were better, more prayerful, and more careful than I am. As I thought about their lives, I couldn’t help but recognize the opportunity God has given me to still be here. My heart swelled with gratitude, and I began to thank Him.   At that moment, I came to a profound realization. If I am still here, it means my purpose is not yet fulfilled. In the midst of these thoughts, I broke into prayer, asking God for the grace to live a long, meaningful, and fulfilled life. I prayed for the strength to serve Him wholeheartedly, never growing weary, even when the tasks before me seem overwhelming, when the road is tough, or when my dreams feel too big to achieve. I asked for the courage to complete everything that has been entrusted to me.   Then, my heart spoke to me. No one can truly live their dream without leaving the past behind. Dr...

  Who are you, and what are you? Your friends and enemies, who are they? We eat the same food, breathe the same air, and walk the same earth. But do we truly know ourselves? Have you taken a moment to question the kind of person you are?   Are you sincere, or are you just pretending? Do you forgive truly, or do you hold on to grudges? Do you love genuinely, or do you only give when it benefits you? Do you stand by your words, or do you change with the wind? Self-awareness is the foundation of values, it is the mirror that reveals who we really are.   Men only see what we let out, but deep down, even if we deceive the world, we know the truth. We can't lie to ourselves.   Do you serve people? Do you give back to the world, or are you just a consumer? Have you locked yourself in, clinging to all you’ve been blessed with, or do you use your wisdom to uplift others? These are the questions we must ask ourselves.   People may praise you, but deep ...

  Happy new week my dear friends, it brings me so much joy to discuss a topic of interest with you today, discouragement is a general challenge, and we all face it at one point or the other, but it isn't something that should overwhelm us.  Life is filled with uncertainty, disappointments, and moments that test our strength. Sometimes, people don’t want us to grow, and other times, our own efforts seem fruitless. It’s easy to feel discouraged, but setbacks are not the end, only a phase that will pass.   Instead of dwelling on frustration, focus on solutions. Life’s challenges are inevitable, but they are not meant to break us. Control what you can, your mindset, actions, and reactions, while letting go of what is beyond you. When overwhelmed, rest your mind. Sleep, breathe, and recharge because clarity often comes in moments of peace.   Helping others can also bring healing. A small act of kindness, like reaching out to someone in need, starting a reading c...

  Happy new week, my dear friend. I'm so happy to write to you today. The year is passing day by day, and we've walked together this far, more by the grace of God. Today, I'll be talking about a question that we often ask ourselves, especially in times of despair. We begin to question what life is really about. In the words of George Bernard Shaw, "Life isn’t about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself." This means that we can live any life we hope for, as long as we are ready to create it. You need to be prepared to do your best, calmly plan, and execute. You have to condition your mind and spirit in a positive direction, trust God, and hold on to the spirit of not quitting. A lot of people are going through more than we are, yet they do not let it become a challenge; instead, they handle it with grace. That should be the kind of person we strive to be. There were times when I had these feelings, even while growing up, and especially when I lost my hu...

My dear friends, happy new month, I'm happy that I am alive to write, and that you are also alive to read. All glory to God. Today, I'll be talking about "Working with purpose". In life, most failures are not as a result of people not working hard, or insufficient efforts, most times its just the lack of purpose and direction. John F Kennedy once said "Efforts and courage are not enough without purpose and direction" it comes to tell you how important it is to be intentional with efforts. Of what purpose is it to fetch water in a basket?!  As we advance in 2025, we need to understand the place of purpose and direction, to achieve success, there should be a purpose for every of our actions, a direction for our life, an expected result for each steps we take, this is how to succeed. Every successful person works with purpose. When you read a book, you should have an expectation, something you intend to learn from it, the movies we watch, even the songs we lis...

 My dear friends, you must be wondering why I'm writing you on a weekday, as I usually write you on Sundays. Yes, I've picked today to celebrate my dearest friend! In the garden of life, friends are the flowers that makes it beautiful, Mama Tee has been a blessing to me and she's made my life so beautiful. We've been through a lot together, but she's constantly reminded me what true friendship means, and she's always been a Support system.  She's a loyal, hardworking, caring, productive and trustworthy friend. A friend is one of the nicest things you can have and one of the best things you can be.  As you've celebrated another year, I pray that God answers all your silent prayers, enlarge your coast, and fix everything in your life that needs to be fixed. May God bless your fruits, and may he satisfy you with long life, good health, and prosperity. Happy belated birthday, my darling friend. And to you, my dear reader, I celebrate and appreciate you.
