TODAY'S HOMILY IN BRIEF.                                  Just as crops compete with the weeds for soil nutrients and sunlight so too, once the Word of God is planted in us, the enemy plants weeds to compete with and possibly suppress the Word of God so it doesn't bear fruits. Nevertheless, our consistency in living out the Word of God in virtue makes us overcome all forms of opposition of weeds aimed at suppressing, suffocating and terminating the Word of God in our life, thereby aborting the life of virtue in and around us. Amidst all opposition, dear child of God, keep firm in virtue for God will certainly vindicate the upright.  Kindly listen to today's episode of my podcast for details of today's homily.                  ...

TODAY'S HOMILY IN BRIEF.                             Though we continuously sin and provoke God to anger, His mercy is greater than the sins of the whole world put together, and this mercy of His endures forever. This explains why God would prefer forgiving our sins rather than punish us when He sees us truly repented of our sins and with genuine remorsefulness we come to Him to seek forgiveness and the grace not to sin again. To this effect, then, no matter how sinful we may be, we must trust in God's mercy and grace to seek His forgiveness, turn away from sin and live the life of virtue.  Kindly listen to today's episode of my podcast for details of today's homily.                                                                      ...

TODAY'S HOMILY IN BRIEF.                              Availing ourselves for God's use does not in any way reduce us but, on the contrary, gives us the privilege and opportunity to collobarorate with God and participate in His Divine plans in bringing about the salvation of humanity. Today, celebrating the Solemnity of the Annunciation of the Lord, the Blessed Virgin Mary is presented to us as a model in doing the will of God and serving the will of God in bringing to reality God's plan to save all people. We're God's for we're created by God, in God and for God (cf Jn. 1:3; Col. 1:16). Kindly listen to today's episode of my podcast for details of today's homily.                              ...

TODAY'S HOMILY IN BRIEF.                              "Many are the trials of the righteous, but the Lord delivers them from all of them." (Psalm 34:19). We're presented today with the conspiracy against Jesus Christ, but given that Jesus Christ is a righteous person and on a righteous course, God did not only deliver Him from all His trials but gave Him victory. Keep firm in righteousness, virtue, faithfulness and your quest for perfection. God will not only deliver you from them all but grant you victory and glorify You.  Kindly listen to today's episode of my podcast for details of today's homily.                                                                                         ...

TODAY'S HOMILY IN BRIEF.                               God does not take pleasure in the death of the sinner but that he may repent and have life. This is because God is slow to anger and abounding in love. God is tender, compassionate, and merciful. Take courage, dear of God, and approach the throne of God's mercy and compassion that He may show you mercy and bless you. More so, God invites us to participate in dispersing His mercy, love, compassion, and blessings. We are called to stand in the gap to intercede for our generation and draw them nearer to God and God nearer to them.

TODAY'S HOMILY IN BRIEF.                             God is never alienated from the predicaments and challenges of the world. As a matter of fact, He's very involved in our daily life experiences and always moved to comfort, console, and come through for us in the midst of them all. Despite all, trust God. He has come to comfort and salvage you. Kindly listen to today's episode of my podcast for details of today's homily.                                                                        ...

TODAY'S HOMILY IN BRIEF.                                God is the source of all life. The Holy Spirit, who is the Agent of this life, blows everywhere.

TODAY'S HOMILY IN BRIEF.                              PARENTAL RESPONSIBILITY IS A DIVINE MANDAT AND A DIVINE PROJECT. TO THIS EFFECT, WE NEED TO BE GUIDED BY GOD IN THE DISCHARGE OF OUR PAREBTAL RESPONSIBILITIES. BEYOND THE QUEST TO RAISE "GREAT" CHILDREN, WE MUST MAKE A CONSCIENTIOUS EFFORT TO RAISE CHILDREN WHO WILL BE "SAVIOURS" TO THEIR GENERATION AS ORDAONED BY GOD FOR THEM. DO YOU PRIORTISE THE WILL OF GOD IN THE DISCHARGE OF YOUR PARENTAL RESPONSIBILITIES AND THE UPBRINGING OF YOUR CHILDREN?

TODAY'S HOMILY IN BRIEF.                         Often, the challenges of life lead us into despair, and at such moments, we tend to lose hope and give up on God. If God is really able and willing to help us, why would He allow us through circumstances, experiences, and treatments that leave us feeling so defeated and helpless to the point of despairing? Why hasn't God come through for us? Beloved child of God, God is always on time even when He appears to delay. Do not give up. Hold unto God and stand your ground firmly in faith. There is still hope. God's help is already close at hand for you. Kindly listen to today's episode of my podcast for details of today's homily.                                 ...

TODAY'S HOMILY IN BRIEF.                          Essentially speaking, what distinguishes us as Christians and as God's children is not the fact that we take Christian names nor the practice of wearing religious regalia. We're distinguished as God's children from other people by the fact that our life is centred on doing the will of God, keeping His Words and status, and serving Him in our fellow human beings just like Jesus Christ did while on earth as a human being.

TODAY'S HOMILY IN BRIEF.                             Every realistic personal encounter with God draws us closer to God and makes us better children of God. Unfortunately, when our relationship with God is benefit-based and benefit-oriented, we're left torn away from God and attached only to His blessings/benefits. God is not just our benefactor and we, His beneficiaries. On the contrary, God is fundamentally our Lover and our Father and we, His Beloved and Children. Seeking God in the sincerity of heart will bond us truly to/with Him. At this point, we're able to worship Him in spirit and truth thereby gaining constant access to His Divine presence and His blessings.  Kindly listen to today's episode of my podcast for details of today's homily.                                              ...

TODAY'S HOMILY IN BRIEF.                          The will of God will always prevail in the affairs of the world especially when the upright remain firm in virtue and the will of God. God raises men in mysterious ways. He raises the poor from the dirt and takes the helpless from the ashes (cf. 2 Sam. 2:8; Psalms. 113:7). Today, God is inviting us to help build up one another rather than destroy one another as He will always turn the rejected stone into the cornerstone. No matter how tough and rough life has been for you, keep firm in serving God in Spirit and truth, He'll show up for you in the neak of time and your story will change for good.

TODAY'S HOMILY IN BRIEF.                          The worst thing that can happen to any human person is to lose focus of what he/she sets out to achieve in life. As we journey through life, we are bound to experience all sorts of circumstances; some pleasant, some not too pleasant, others not too desirable and yet others extremely painful. In the midst of all these, there is always a goal or a target to be actualized. The ability to stay focused on the goal will obviously help one to manage life circumstances in such a manner that they all work to help and facilitate the actualisation of the set goal. You're a being on a mission with a goal and a purpose to actualise. No matter what comes your way as you journey through life, stay focused on your goal and the purpose of your existence.

TODAY'S HOMILY IN BRIEF.                           The statement "obedience is better than sacrifice" shows how much God desires unreserved obedience from us. Genuine conversion and a true life of virtue that culminates in a healthy, godly and kind relationship with our fellow human beings give us access to enjoying the fulness of God's  blessings in the land. Hence, we're invited today to turn away from sin, learn to do good and then enjoy the blessings of God. For our NINE-DAY-BEGINNING OF THE MONTH INTENSIVE PRAYERS AND NOVENA kindly pray your daily Rosary with Jonah 3:1-10;  Psalms 32, 41 and 121 from 1st to 9th March, 2023.                   Kindly listen to today's episode of my podcast for details of today's homily.      ...
