NEVER FORGET YOUR PROMISES

I have been pondering why people intentionally make false promises in relationships, houses of God, offices, families, schools, markets, etc. A promise is not just words; it is a piece of yourself you give to someone else to hold. In the moment we make them, we mean every word, but life gets busy, convenient, and forgetful. When you forget your promises, you don't just break an agreement — you break the trust someone built around your words.

Your integrity is measured by what you do after the excitement of making a promise fades. Anyone can promise when it's easy, but character is keeping that promise when it becomes inconvenient, costly, or uncomfortable. People may forget what you said, but they will never forget how you made them feel when you didn't keep your word.

So before you promise, pause. Promise less, but mean more. And when you do promise, write it on your heart, not just in your chat history. Let your promises be a reflection of your honour — because in the end, a man is only as good as his word.

Remain blessed.

WIDENING YOUR HORIZON

I have discovered that life becomes richer when we learn to look beyond the boundaries of our immediate experience. Widening your horizon means opening your mind to new ideas, people, cultures, experiences, and possibilities. Sometimes we mistake our present circumstances for the limits of what life can offer. Our elders say, "A narrow mind sees only what is familiar; a wider mind discovers that there are many paths to wisdom, growth, and fulfilment." To widen your horizon is therefore to give yourself permission to learn, to change, and to imagine a future greater than the present.

A person who refuses to look beyond their immediate environment may unconsciously become imprisoned by prejudice, fear, and old assumptions. The world is larger than our village, profession, culture, religion, or personal experience. Encountering other people and cultures does not necessarily diminish who we are; rather, it can deepen our understanding of who we are. Genuine growth comes through dialogue and encounter. We widen our horizons when we listen before judging, learn before rejecting, and appreciate differences without abandoning our own identity.

Ultimately, widening your horizon is an invitation to live beyond the limitations of yesterday. Do not allow one failure to define your future, one disappointment to close your heart, or one environment to determine the full measure of your potential. Scripture reminds us, "Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind" (Romans 12:2). Keep learning, keep questioning, keep encountering, and keep dreaming. A wider horizon does not merely give you a bigger view of the world; it gives you a greater vision of what you can become.

Remain blessed.

GOD'S SILENCE DOES NOT MEAN GOD'S ABSENCE

I have observed that sometimes God seems silent when we pass through suffering, disappointment, uncertainty, or prolonged waiting. Yet divine silence should not be mistaken for divine absence. The elders say, "The one who is not seen is not necessarily absent," reminding us that reality is often greater than what our eyes can perceive. The Bible declares, "Be still, and know that I am God" (Psalm 46:10). Silence can therefore become a sacred space in which the human heart learns patience, trust, and deeper awareness. Even when we cannot hear God, we may still be held by God.

The Scriptures repeatedly show that God can be present even when human beings cannot immediately recognise His presence. The prophet Isaiah speaks of God saying, "Truly you are a God who hides himself" (Isaiah 45:15). Likewise, the Qur'an assures believers: "And He is with you wherever you are" (Qur'an 57:4). This divine presence is not always accompanied by dramatic signs or immediate answers. Like the African farmer who plants a seed and waits patiently beneath the soil, we may not see what God is doing, but something may already be taking shape. "However long the night, the dawn will break," declare the elders. Waiting, therefore, need not be wasted time; it can be a period of preparation, growth, and transformation.

When God appears silent, let us resist the temptation to conclude that we have been abandoned. The silence may be inviting us to trust beyond what we can see, to pray beyond what we can understand, and to hope beyond what circumstances seem to permit. The Qur'an says, "Indeed, Allah is with the patient" (Qur'an 8:46). At the same time, the Bible encourages us, "Those who wait for the LORD shall renew their strength" (Isaiah 40:31). Human beings may withdraw, circumstances may change, and answers may be delayed. Still, divine presence is not measured by noise or immediate results. God's silence is not emptiness; sometimes it is the quiet language of a presence that calls us to deeper faith, patience, and hope.

Remain blessed.

WHAT FRUIT IS YOUR LIFE PRODUCING FOR GOOD?

Take a careful look at yourself and see the great investment God has made in you. Is mankind benefiting from the talent God has deposited in you?

Is the Church benefiting from you in its growth? Are you winning souls for God through your behaviour? Do you forgive those who offend you?

The best way to show gratitude to God is to use the talent and grace He has given you to win souls for Him. You are called to be Christlike so that the fruit you produce will be a blessing to everyone.

The cornerstone of the world is Jesus Christ, the Son of God. His greatest interest is to bring salvation to everyone. Allow Him to reach people through you. Communicate Christ and His teachings. The feast of the Archangels is an opportunity to love, forgive, serve, pray and preach more of Christ and less of ourselves.

Lessons from the homily inspired by the Holy Bible (Isaiah 5:1-7, Philippians 4:6-9 & Matthew 21:33-43) delivered by Rev. Fr. Emmanuel Alikali at Archangels Catholic Church, Gadumo, Lokoja, Kogi State, Nigeria.

AUTHORITY TO TRAMPLE ON EVIL

I have seen that evil is on the ascendancy. I declare to you that God has not called you to be afraid of evil; He has given you authority to trample on it. You are not a victim begging for mercy from the devil, you are a child of God with power in your mouth and fire on your altar. Jesus said clearly, _“Behold, I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you”_ — Luke 10:19. That means sickness, witchcraft, oppression, failure, and demonic manipulation are not meant to be on your head; they are meant to be under your feet. Until you know who you are, you will keep running from what you should be trampling upon.

This authority is not in your title, it is in your position in Christ. When you are in Christ, you are seated far above principalities and powers — Ephesians 2:6. The devil is not afraid of your noise, he is afraid of the knowledge you have about your authority. Many believers pray from a position of weakness when God has made them soldiers. You don't need to beg evil to leave; you command it to leave. You don't negotiate with darkness; you crush it. Stop crying about what the enemy is doing and start exercising the authority that God has given you. The same mouth that has been complaining is the mouth God wants to use to decree victory.

Therefore, rise and use your authority today. Trample on fear, trample on sickness, trample on that cycle of failure and stagnation. Speak the Word, pray in the Spirit, and refuse to bow to evil. Evil only prevails where authority is silent. From today, let the devil hear your voice and tremble, because you have finally remembered — you are not powerless. You have AUTHORITY TO TRAMPLE ON EVIL, and nothing shall by any means hurt you.

Remain blessed.

UNTIL YOU KNOW LIFE IS WAR, YOU WON'T KNOW WHAT GOD HAS DONE FOR YOU

Many people think life is just normal, until battles start showing up — betrayal, sickness, financial pressure, family problems, spiritual attacks. Only then do they realize life is not a playground, it is a battlefield. The Bible never hid this from us: _“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities and powers...”_ — Ephesians 6:12. If you think everyone is smiling at you, you are naive. Some smiles are covering warfare. Until you understand that life itself is war, you will take for granted the many battles God has been fighting for you behind the scenes that you didn't even see.

Did you know the reason you are still alive today is because God has been fighting wars you knew nothing about? That accident that didn't happen, that sickness that didn't kill you, that trap your enemies set that failed — it was not luck, it was warfare, and God won on your behalf. _“The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still”_ — Exodus 14:14. When you understand that life is war, you stop complaining and start thanking God. You realize that waking up every morning is not normal — it is victory. Your peace is not ordinary — it is a testimony that God defeated what was meant to destroy you.

Finally, stop living carelessly. Put on your armor. Pray like a soldier, watch like a soldier, live like someone who knows there is an enemy. But also rejoice like someone who knows there is a Defender. When you know life is war, you will never again take God's protection for granted. You will worship deeper, pray louder, and trust Him more, because you finally understand — if not for God, you would not have survived this far.

Remain blessed.

BE SINCERE AND TRUTHFUL

Your disobedience could be used as evidence against you by the devil to harm you. Let God be proud of you when Satan confronts Him about you.

If you make your path straight, you will be free from sin - you will be set free from sickness and sudden death. You will have everlasting life.

SACRIFICE OF THE MASS
FOR GLORIA ANIBE DAIKWO

Sweet memories of Gloria is what we have now. Singing in the Choir and her active sacrifice as a professional nurse. We are contented for her life of devotion and dedication in the service of God.

Jesus said He is going to prepare a good place for us, yet we are not willing to go to the good place. If we asked Gloria to return to be here with us now, she would reject it because where she is is better and everlasting.

Now let us talk about you, the living, are you listening? Do you know that you can be called at any moment? Like Gloria Daikwo, are you dedicated and devoted in service to humanity? Do you even believe in this whole phenomenon of life as a journey where the destination is heaven?

If you are still in doubt, wake up to reality today.

We have lost Gloria, but she is being welcomed into a place of everlasting peace and happiness.

May Gloria Anibe Daikwo, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. May God console her family in Jesus' name.

NAVIGATING WITH IN-LAWS

It occurred to me that one of the hardest adjustments in marriage isn't learning to live with your spouse, but learning to live with your spouse's family. Your in-laws come with their own expectations, traditions, and way of doing things, and suddenly you are expected to fit in. It can feel like you are constantly being watched, judged, or corrected. But remember, they too are adjusting to you. They raised your spouse before you came, and letting go is not easy. Navigating with them requires maturity to understand that you are not in competition for love. You are not replacing them; you are joining them. Peace begins when you stop seeing them as intruders and start seeing them as an extension of your own family.

Wisdom is needed because love alone will not solve in-law issues. Love says, "I accept you." Wisdom says, "I know how to relate with you." That wisdom includes setting healthy boundaries early, communicating as a couple before responding to family pressures, and refusing to compare your family with theirs. Never put your spouse in a position where they must choose between you and their parents in public — it breeds resentment. Discuss sensitive issues privately with your spouse first. _“A house divided against itself cannot stand”_ — Mark 3:25. If you and your spouse are united, in-laws will eventually learn to respect your home.

Above all, let honour and prayer lead you. You may not agree with everything your in-laws do or say, but you can still honor them. Honor does not mean you become a slave to their demands; it means you speak respectfully, you appreciate their good intentions, and you don't repay harshness with harshness. Some battles are won not by arguing, but by kindness over time. Pray for them. Bless them. Show them you are not trying to steal their child, but to build a strong home with them. In-laws who feel honored and secure often become your greatest supporters.
Remain blessed.
