WORD FOR THE DAY
TOPIC: SOME LIVE A LIE, SOME LIVE A LIFE; CHOOSE THE ONE THAT GIVES YOU PEACE...

We are living in a generation where a single post can crown a man or crucify him. A generation where worth is now measured in likes, applause is counted in views, and validation has become a digital currency. A generation where smiles are staged, moments are curated, and “perfect lives” are built one filter at a time. And slowly, silently, without realising it, so many begin to live for the camera instead of living their life. We are becoming actors in our own story, performing for an audience we may never meet, while losing the authenticity of the life God has given us. We forget that the camera captures only what we allow; it does not reveal what we suppress. It shows the smile, not the struggle. The celebration, not the sacrifice. The vacation, not the pain behind the scenes. See, social media is powerful, but it can bless or destroy you. It inspires, teaches, connects, and elevates. Yes, it has changed the world, but it also compares, pressures, manipulates, and convinces people that everyone else has achieved what they are still praying for. It creates a theatre where everyone acts like they have figured out life, while in reality, many are drowning in silent battles, hidden tears, and unspoken anxieties. We have forgotten that people do not post their reality; they post their highlight. People don’t upload their storms; they upload their sunshine. People don’t showcase their wounds; they showcase their wins. So when you measure your life against someone’s edited moment, you are comparing your behind-the-scenes to their red carpet, and nothing destroys self-worth faster.

Some live a lie, some live a life. A lie is easy to package, decorate, and present. A life is raw, honest, sometimes messy, but it is real. A lie impresses people, but a life improves you.bA lie makes noise, but a life makes meaning. A lie shines on the screen, but q life shines in the soul. The tragedy of our time is that many have chosen the lie because the lie is applauded. But applause without peace is just noise. And noise without purpose is an empty life. For me, wisdom is to choose peace, not performance. Screens have become mirrors, and mirrors have become judges, but real life is loved off-screen. That is where character is built, joy is born, healing happens, purpose is discovered, and peace is grown. Real happiness has no camera crew, real growth has no filter, real joy doesn’t need witnesses, and real peace doesn’t need applause. Don't forget that there is no perfect life, only perfectly edited ones. There is no perfect person, only carefully presented ones. There is no perfect journey, only paths filled with lessons, tears, growth, and grace. Perfection is a shadow we chase, but truth is a light we live, and those who choose truth, choose peace. Choose authenticity over aesthetics, depth over display, growth over showing, meaning over mere visibility, becoming over pretending and a quiet life that is true, over a loud life that is false. At the end of the day, a peaceful life is better than a popular lie.

So live your life, not your camera’s life, the internet’s life or society’s expectations. Your beloved sister will always say, "be real..."

Do have a wonderful day my lovely people....

WORD FOR THE DAY
TOPIC: DESTINY IS NOT A RACE, IT IS A CALLING; STOP COMPETING...

There comes a moment in a man’s journey where God invites him to pause… to breathe… to see life not as a hurried race, but as a divine calling; not as a competition, but as a consecration. That moment is now. We live in an age where people run as though the earth is a stadium and destiny is a prize to be snatched from another’s hand. People compare timelines, envy seasons, compete with shadows, and fight battles that were never theirs. Yet destiny is not a marathon where the fastest wins; destiny is a summons where only the faithful arrive. For me, destiny is not measured by speed but by obedience. It is not how fast you run, but how well you respond to the God who calls you. Jeremiah 1:5 reminds us: “Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you.” He knew you, not as a competitor, but as a purpose-carrier. When you compete, you shrink, but when you respond, you rise.bCompetition breeds insecurity, but calling births identity. Competition makes you jealous of people; calling makes you jealous for God. Competition focuses on others; calling focuses on the throne. The eagle does not race with pigeons, it ascends. The sun does not argue with the moon, it shines. The river does not compete with the ocean, it flows into destiny. See, you were not designed to outrun anyone. You were designed to become someone, the person God envisioned before eternity kissed time.

Every man has his own assignment, his own anointing, his own hour, his own cross, his own crown. Trying to compete with another is like a star competing with the sun, you lose your shine trying to imitate what you were never meant to become. When you compare, you compromise; when you compete, you corrupt, and when you become, you conquer. Cain competed with Abel, and anger replaced purpose. Saul competed with David, and jealousy replaced kingship. But John said of Christ, “He must increase; I must decrease,” and humility preserved his destiny. You see, the competition ends the moment you discover that destiny is not a stage to impress, but a path to obey. A man who competes is restless, but a man who follows God’s calling is peaceful even in storms. No one can take your place in God’s plan, because your calling has your fingerprints on it. Your journey may look slow, but slow is not late when God is the one leading. Others may seem ahead, but “ahead” is a human word, “aligned” is the heavenly word. Moses started at 80, Abraham was called at 75, Elizabeth conceived in old age, even the thief found paradise in his final hour. Destiny is not speed; it is timing. It is not competition; it is alignment. It is not noise; it is obedience.

When God becomes your focus, destiny becomes your inheritance. When you stop competing, you start becoming, and when you start becoming, no force on earth can stop what heaven has designed.

Have a great day my lovely people...

Food for thought

Purpose pushes you into places comfort wants you to avoid. There is no destiny in ease.

See, every man born for greatness must one day wrestle with discomfort. Comfort is sweet, but it is also a silent thief, robbing many of the future they were created to walk into. Purpose, on the other hand, is a hard teacher, it drags you into wildernesses where your excuses cannot survive and your potential has no choice but to grow. The eagle does not learn to fly in the nest; it learns by being pushed over the cliff. So it is with destiny. Ease protects you, but it also prevents you. Comfort keeps you warm, but it also keeps you small. No great destiny was ever born on a soft bed. No giant ever emerged from a life where nothing stretched, challenged, or broke him. Gold does not shine until fire introduces itself. Purpose will lead you into late nights, lonely decisions, difficult disciplines, and unfamiliar territories. And comfort will whisper, “Stay where you are… Why struggle?” But don't forget that comfort is the enemy of calling. It invites you to rest in places you were only meant to pass through.

Life’s greatest irony is that where you fear to go is often where your future is waiting. Where you refuse to stretch is where your wings remain unused. Remember that the road to the palace always passes through the desert, and if your path is always easy, you are probably on the wrong road.” So, embrace the discomfort that comes with purpose. Embrace the stretching, the pruning, the discipline, the uncertainty. They are not signs that you are failing, they are signs that you are becoming; because destiny is never found in comfort; it is discovered in courage, and ease has never produced a king, only effort has.

Peace ✌️✌️✌️ be with you....

WORD FOR THE DAY
TOPIC: VICTORY IN PUBLIC BEGINS WITH WARFARE IN PRIVATE...

See, no man rises publicly who has not wrestled privately. No destiny shines in the open that was not first fought for in secret, and no victory is ever sustained on the stage of life if it was not first won on the knees before God. Victory in public begins with warfare in private. Every great destiny is first incubated in the quiet chambers of prayer. Every visible victory begins with an invisible battle. Every crown you will ever wear is first won on your knees. You cannot conquer what you do not confront before God. You cannot win battles externally if you have not first surrendered internally. The strength people admire outside is the product of the secret strength drawn inside. You must understand something that prayer is not one of the many tools in the Christian toolbox; it is the toolbox itself. Prayer is not one of our lifelines; it is our only lifeline. The moment a man stops praying, he stops breathing spiritually. The moment a priest stops praying, he stops receiving oil. The moment a leader stops praying, he begins to lead himself instead of letting God lead him. And self-leadership without divine direction is the shortest road to destruction. If you want to know the truth, ask yourself this question: If I stop praying, tell me, what will I do next? The answer is simple, I will fail next. I will fall next, will lose direction next, begin to operate in my human strength, and human strength has never defeated spiritual battles. Before David faced Goliath publicly, he had killed the lion and the bear privately. Before Daniel interpreted dreams in the palace, he had knelt before the God of heaven in his room. Before Jesus chose the twelve, He spent the night in prayer. Before the Church preached Pentecost, they prayed for Pentecost.

Private prayer prepares you for public assignments. Private battles prepare you for public crowns. Private consecration sustains public relevance. Satan is not afraid of your certificate, your title, your charisma, or your achievements. He is afraid of the man who kneels. The kneeling child of God is the undefeatable child of God. The praying man is the protected man. The praying woman is the powerful woman. The praying priest is the dangerous priest. Prayer is the password to divine strength. Prayer is the fuel that keeps the fire burning. Prayer is the force that aligns your will to God’s will. Prayer is the oxygen of the soul, and without oxygen, everything dies. There is no shame in kneeling; the shame is in standing on your feet without God. So fight on your knees. When discouragement comes, fight on your knees. When confusion rises, fight on your knees. When people misunderstand you, fight on your knees. When the road looks dark, fight on your knees. You may not always know what to do, but if you know how to pray, you will always survive. Because the one who kneels before God stands tall before men. And when the devil whispers to you, “Stop praying,” reply him with courage: “If I stop praying, what will I do next? Fail? Fall? Lose my purpose? Not me. I will pray, because prayer is my lifeline.” Therefore, hold your rosary, lift your heart, enter your secret place, bow your head, whisper His name, and fight your battles in His presence. Victory in public begins with warfare in private. Fight on your knees, and you will never fight alone.

Happy New Month once again....

The friend sent by God will feed your spirit before feeding your emotions.

Not every smile is companionship, and not every presence is friendship. Some people enter your life to excite your feelings, but a true friend, one sent by God, nourishes your soul. They speak words that awaken your purpose, not fantasies that blind your judgment. They build your character before they comfort your comfort zones. A friend God sends will challenge your weaknesses, not celebrate them. They will correct you with love, not flatter you into destruction. They will remind you of prayer when your emotions push you to panic. They will call you back to truth when your heart is tempted to wander. They care more about the health of your soul than the thrill of your emotions.

Emotional friends make you feel good; spiritual friends make you become good. One feeds your feelings for a moment; the other feeds your growth for a lifetime. Choose wisely; a God-sent friend does not just walk with you, they lift you, sharpen you, and guide you closer to the destiny God planted inside you.

Peace ✌️✌️✌️ be with you...

AT THE BEGINNING OF THE DAY
TOPIC: WHEN GOD CLOSES A DOOR, DON'T SIT BY IT WEEPING; STAND BY FAITH...

Life will always bring us to tight corners, sealed paths, and unexpected endings. But a closed door is not a divine punishment; it is often a divine redirection. God does not shut what still has life, He shuts what no longer aligns with the destiny He is shaping within you. We often cry before doors that can no longer open, forgetting that the tears blur our vision and make us miss the path God is pointing toward. When God closes a door, don’t build a camp around disappointment. Don’t turn a temporary stop into a lifetime of regret. Don’t worship the memory of what God has already moved away from. Faith is not proven when everything is open; faith is proven when something important closes and you still say, “Lord, I trust Your wisdom more than my desire.”

The same hand that closes a door is the hand that parted the Red Sea, the hand that lifted Peter from the waves, the hand that held Mary through the silence of Saturday before Resurrection Sunday. God does not close a door to leave you stranded; He closes a door to shift you to where grace is waiting. Sometimes, the blessing you pray for is not behind the door you are crying over. Sometimes, the next level of your life cannot enter until the old door is sealed permanently. God closes doors to protect you, to redirect you, to preserve you, and to prepare you.

Never forget that a closed door can be a shield, a closed door can be a message, a closed door can be a miracle in disguise. Every divinely closed door carries two messages: “Not this way,” and “Follow Me.” If you remain kneeling in tears before the former, you will never hear the latter. Stand up by faith, dust yourself, lift your head and even when you cannot trace His plan, you can trust His heart. God is too wise to make a mistake and too loving to mislead you. What He closes, He closes for a reason; what He opens, no man on earth or in hell can shut.

Move forward. Something greater is ahead. The hand that closed the door holds the map of your destiny, and that hand never fails.

Today, you shall work and walk in grace. Good morning...
