THAT I MAY SEE| ARE YOU POTENTIALLY RICH BUT MANIFESTLY POOR?|30th Sunday|Year B

Are you potentially rich but manifestly poor? I shall explain with an example. A lady once told me how her business flourishes but every profit she makes are swallowed up by problems, and she goes bankrupt again, saving nothing. And this have been the pattern. But after we prayed, the strongholds and setbacks were lifted […]

WHAT DO YOU WANT THE LORD TO DO FOR YOU?|HOW TO PRAY AND GET ANSWERS|29th Sunday|Year B

Have you been worried that your prayers have not been answered? Then there’s something amiss! Listen, people often waste their time and energy trying to persuade God to grant a request or bless something that God has no interests in. And they become frustrated, envying those that have been blessed, and forgetting that God is […]

WHO WILL INHERIT HEAVEN: THE RICH OR THE POOR?|28th Sunday|Year B

Neither the ‘rich’ nor the ‘poor’ will inherit heaven! Yes you heard me well. During a bible class, the question above was put up and one of the students replied: ‘only the poor will be in heaven’ then the teacher asked why, and he said ‘because the bible says ‘it will be hard for a […]

THE MIRACLE IN YOUR MOUTH: POWER OF WORDS| 27th Sunday| Ordinary Time| Year B

‘When the looting starts, the shooting starts‘- was a tweet by Donald Trump during the hashtag Black Lives Matter protest in the US in 2020 that generated lots of criticisms and agitations, and was flagged by Twitter as encouraging violence. Even though this expression was first used by Walter E. Headley in 1967, the consequent […]

HOW MANY HAVE YOU LED ASTRAY?|26th Sunday|Ordinary Time|Year B

It is easier to count gains than losses because we are by nature aversive to losses. And so this topic is a red flag because no one wants to be identified with scandalising or leading others astray. But do you think you have lived wonderfully well that you can boast of leading no one astray?  […]

WHY THE JEALOUSY, GOSSIPING AND COMPETITION IN THE CHURCH?|25th Sunday|Ordinary Time|Year B

A comedian once said: “one thing God detests so much is gossiping, that is why the Bible says wherever two or three are gathered…God is there with them to make sure they are praying and not gossiping.” Funny, right? But seriously, is that not the case in churches and religious gatherings today? Rather than praying […]

BEWARE OF CONTAMINATION FROM CULTURES|22nd Sunday|Ordinary Time|Year B

Just as we worry about the things that pollute the environment, we should be equally concerned about those things that pollute our faith, especially things coming from our cultures- the world around. Sometime ago a viral video capturing a masquerade dancing in the church during holy mass raised several questions and concerns: what would a […]

CROWN WITHOUT CROSS: GOD FORBID!| 24th Sunday|Ordinary Time|Year B

It is the devil’s suggestion to make you believe there’s crown without a cross. During a counselling session a lady revealed how she had severally attempted to leave her marriage because her husband does not appreciate her but abuses her. While she spoke, the Spirit revealed to me that she had attempted suicide severally, so […]

WHAT GOSPEL MESSAGE OFFENDS YOU?|21st Sunday|Ordinary Time|Year B

Not everyone accepts the gospel message of forgiveness, loving and praying for one’s enemies, sexual responsibility, marriage without divorce, doctrine rejecting contraception, etc. For some, it is hard and impossible to practice; some accept it, but find it difficult to practice, while some are indifferent about it. Whatever category we find ourselves depends on the […]

LORD I HAVE HAD ENOUGH!|19th Sunday in Ordinary Time|Year B

“Father, you just stopped me now from doing something evil with this phone call” was the confession of a lady who revealed to me how she contemplated cursing and destroying the marriage of her ex through a satanic medium. According to her, the man deceived her into relationship with him, not knowing he was planning […]
