Be mindful of the things you do and the actions you take even when you’re angry or under pressure.

According to Pst. Orji Stanley Amanze, apologizing isn’t always a sign of humility; it’s often a sign of repeated mistakes.

If you find yourself saying “I’m sorry” 100 times a day, it likely means you made 100 avoidable mistakes. That’s not humility, it’s carelessness.

So, slow down. Think through your actions. Choose wisely.
It’s better to be cautious than to be constantly apologizing.

Some mistakes leave a mark that “sorry” can’t erase.
Some damage runs too deep to repair no matter how many times we apologize.

Yes, we’re human. But not every mistake can be amended.
That’s why we must learn to be careful, to think before we act.

The goal isn’t to keep saying “sorry”
The goal is to live in a way that requires fewer apologies.

Choose your actions wisely. Speak with thought.
Live intentionally

THE BEAUTIFUL PACKAGING THAT DISAPPOINTED ME
Please Read 👇

So, I went to the market recently and saw something new, a tomato paste that came in a big tin with a cover! A proper, thoughtful rubber cover that made it easy to preserve leftovers.

I didn’t even think twice. I said to myself, “Finally! Someone is thinking out of the box!”
I was sold not because of the taste, not because I had tested it but because of the packaging.

Fast forward to when I opened it…
It looked good on the outside, but the content?
Disappointing. The taste and quality didn’t meet my expectations. 😞
Yet I had already bought it not because of the product itself, but because of how it looked.

Now here’s where this hit me hard:
How many of us are like that tomato paste?

We’re busy packaging ourselves.
💄 The makeup is flawless.
👗 The dress is stunning.
🏢 Our business spaces are perfect.
📱 Our Instagram feeds are on point.

But what about our content?
Our character, our attitude, our integrity, our consistency?
What do people discover after the first impression?

If your content is weak, people will use you for what’s useful (like I took the cover), and toss the rest.
That’s what I did. I kept the useful cover and decided to go back to my trusted product because it may not be fancy, but it’s real. It’s reliable.

So I ask again:
When people get close to you, do they want to stay?

When customers enter your beautiful space, is your service just as excellent?

What’s the real YOU behind the appearance?

This tomato paste experience reminded me of one truth:
* Real growth happens inside.
* Sustainability is in the substance.
* Uniqueness should go beyond the outer look.

Let’s work on our content.
Let our inside be even more beautiful than our packaging.

May God help us in life, in business and in our dealings with people. 🙏🏽

When Walking Away Is the Best Choice

Not every relationship is meant to last forever. If a situation becomes dangerous, toxic, or damaging to your well-being, it is wise to step away. Staying in something that only brings harm is not what "for better, for worse" was meant to represent. Your safety and peace of mind should always come first.

At the end of the day, relationships should bring out the best in us, not the worst. Let’s choose to focus on the better, not the worse.

Choosing the Better, Not the Worse

During our legacy service today, in memory of our Founding Pastor, Ezekiel Atang, a message was played where he spoke on "How to handle Violence in Marriage". He mentioned the phrase "for better, for worse." He emphasized that marriage is meant to be for better and for worse but not reason enough to stay in a toxic one.

I'll add that this idea extends beyond just marriage.
Friendships, partnerships and even family relationships go through ups and downs.

There will be moments when you question your relationships:
- Am I really friends with this person?
- Did I really marry this person?
- Am I truly in partnership with them?
- Are these really my parents or siblings?

These thoughts are normal because no relationship is perfect. Challenges will always come, but the real question is:
Why focus on the worse? Why not work towards the better?

Choosing to Build, Not Break

Just because relationships go through rough patches doesn’t mean we should dwell on the negative. Some people hold on to the phrase "for better, for worse" as an excuse to endure toxic situations or to bring out the worst in others. But what if we shifted our mindset?

- Instead of making things worse, why not choose to improve?
- Instead of tearing each other down, why not build each other up?
- Instead of reacting negatively, why not choose kindness, patience and understanding?

Every relationship whether marriage, friendship or business partnership requires effort. If both people work towards making things better, the relationship will thrive.

Your Voice Matters, Guard It.

So, how do we ensure that we don’t lose our voices?

1. Be intentional with your actions: Every choice you make today will impact your credibility tomorrow.

2. Watch your words both online and offline Once spoken or posted, they can never be erased completely.

3. Be mindful of your associations: The people you align with can either strengthen or weaken your voice.

4. Live with integrity: Let your words and actions align, so that when you speak, people will listen and respect you.

At the end of the day, your voice is one of the most powerful things you have.
It represents your influence, your ability to inspire, and your capacity to stand for what is right. Guard it, Protect it, Use it wisely, because once lost, it is difficult and sometimes impossible to regain.

Do not lose your voice!

Even Relationships Can Silence You

Surprisingly, it's not only personal actions that can cause someone to lose their voice. The people we associate with friends, partners or spouses can also affect our credibility. Imagine being married to someone whose past is filled with questionable actions. Even if you personally have integrity, people may still doubt your words because of your association.

We see this in the lives of many public figures. Some celebrities, despite having wisdom to share, are dismissed because of their past mistakes or the people they once endorsed. Society judges not only what we do but also what we approve of, who we support, and where we stand.

The Power of Integrity

I have always been conscious of my actions, knowing they shape my future but after that conversation with my pastor, I became even more deliberate. I realized that losing my voice is not just about making bad choices but also about aligning myself with the wrong people, supporting the wrong causes or failing to take a stand when it matters.

People are always watching. If your life is filled with contradictions, if you preach one thing but live another your words will carry no weight. You won’t be able to correct, advise, or inspire others because they will remember your past actions and dismiss you.

Do Not Lose Your Voice

In October 2024, my admin pastor requested to see me in his office for the first time. I was nervous. I had no idea why he wanted to speak with me, and my mind raced through all the possible reasons. Instead of avoiding the meeting, I gathered my courage and went to see him.

We talked for a long time he shared many things with me and in turn, I opened up about some of my own experiences. One statement he made stood out and has echoed in my mind ever since, “Do not lose your voice.”

At first, I didn’t fully grasp the weight of those words. But as I reflected, I realized how powerful and relevant they were, especially in today's world, where so many people consciously or unconsciously lose their voices through their actions, choices and even silence.

How Do People Lose Their Voices?

Losing your voice doesn’t necessarily mean being unable to speak. It means losing credibility, integrity, and the ability to stand for what is right. It happens when our actions contradict our words. It happens when our past mistakes, unwise choices, or careless behaviors weaken the impact of our voices.

We live in an era where everything is documented especially on social media.
A single mistake, a reckless post, or an unguarded action today can resurface years later, haunting us. We've seen it happen repeatedly: old tweets, past controversies and long-forgotten behaviors come back to challenge people’s credibility. In many cases, these actions strip them of their ability to speak with authority on important matters.

The world remembers negativity more than positivity. Mistakes go viral faster than good deeds. That’s why we must be intentional about how we live our lives today because our actions, words, and associations will determine whether people will respect our voices tomorrow.

How to Reduce Oil While Cooking Without Losing Flavor

Cooking with less oil doesn’t mean sacrificing taste. With the right techniques and ingredients, you can create delicious, healthy dishes while keeping the flavor intact. Here’s how:

1. Use Healthy Cooking Methods

Steaming & Boiling: Cook vegetables, grains, and proteins with steam or boiling water instead of frying.

Grilling & Roasting: Brings out natural flavors with minimal oil. Brush with broth, citrus juice, or yogurt for added taste.

Sautéing with Water or Broth: Instead of oil, use small amounts of water, vegetable broth, or wine to cook onions, garlic, and spices.
