  Happy new week my dear friends, I hope you had a lovely weekend. Let's get straight to the point, today. There are certain things we do in life that can propel us to greater heights and take us farther than we ever imagined. We need to develop ourselves, educate ourselves, and continuously learn new things. One crucial lesson is to avoid shortcuts. Beyond the fact that they rarely end well, even for the few lucky ones, shortcuts rob us of essential developmental experiences. Progress is a process, and when you decide to cut the process, you automatically stop the progress. Following due process makes it easier to restart whenever there’s a setback. However, for those who relied on shortcuts, setbacks can be devastating and difficult to recover from. It is essential to change any way of life that isn’t allowing us to grow. Many people keep repeating the same mistakes, not because they don’t realize they aren’t working, but because they are either too afraid or too lazy to try new...

  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...
