I just read the devastating news of REV. FR. JAMES OMEH, a priest of Minna Diocese Nigeria. It was raining yesterday and since it was a Sunday, he didn’t want the rain to deprive his parishioners the opportunity to attend Mass. So, he set out for Mass under the rain and on the way, the bridge he was crossing on caved in and his vehicle fell into the river. Sadly, the priest didn’t survive it.
If you don’t Know Jesus as your personal Lord and Saviour and would like to accept him into your life as your personal Lord and Saviour, Please say this prayer:
Father, I know that I have broken your laws and my sins have separated me from You. I am truly sorry, and now I want to turn away from my past sinful life toward You. Please forgive me, and help me avoid sinning again. I believe that Your son, Jesus Christ died for my sins, was resurrected from the dead, is alive, and hears my prayer. I invite Jesus to become the Lord of my life, to rule and reign in my heart from this day forward. Please send Your Holy Spirit to help me obey You, and to do Your Will for the rest of my life. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.

KEY VERSE: “And the priests went into the inner part of the house of the LORD, to cleanse it, and brought out all the uncleanness that they found in the temple of the LORD into the court of the house of the LORD. And the Levites took it, to carry it out abroad into the brook Kidron” (2 Chronicles 29:16).
TEXT: 2 CHRONICLES 29:12-19
House cleaning is an old and beneficial practice whose essence is beyond maintaining the visual appeal of living space. It involves proper cleaning and organisation of the environment and other measures taken to enhance health, well-being, safety, and aesthetics. Neglect of this often proves disastrous in the end.
King Hezekiah embarked on a unique sort of house cleansing as soon as he ascended the throne. He opened the door of the temple that his father had shut and sought a return to the true worship of God. He summoned the Levites whose duty it was to keep the temple, and charged them to cleanse the house of God, recognising that his father perpetrated so much evil there.
The Levites were prompt in their response; they gathered, and underwent a process of personal cleansing first, recognising that those who come to equity must come with clean hands. They then proceeded into the inner parts of the temple and discovered monumental uncleanness there. They brought out those unclean things and dumped them in the river, Kidron. It took all of eight days for the house, the altar, and all the vessels to be cleansed. Once done, they informed the king that the task had been accomplished, and the temple was now ready for the service of the Lord.
As believers, we need a similar cleansing, not of the physical temple but of ourselves as the temples of the Holy Ghost. We can no longer lay claim to our lives, nor can we do as we please. God distastes any form of impurity in our lives. As we examine ourselves, if we perceive any uncleanness, we must take steps immediately to be cleansed by acknowledging (not rationalizing), confessing, and relinquishing our hold on sin. The blood of Jesus cleanses us from all sin. Constantly doing this is the only way to maintain sound spiritual health, well-being, and safety.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: There is no greater treasure than a pure heart.

This morning, I came across a disturbing post of a young Catholic priest (just four years into his priesthood), Rev. Fr. Alois Cheruiyot Bett, who was brutally murdered in a rural part of Kenya where he served as a missionary. The news broke my heart.
As a missionary, this priest left the comfort of home to serve the Gospel in a place many would avoid. He chose the poor. He embraced the forgotten. He gave his life to Christ and his people. And what did he get in return? A violent death. What do you really gain by killing a priest?
This tragedy is not isolated. In Nigeria, my own country, priests have become endangered species and are being hunted down like threats. In recent years, some have been burnt to death, many shot to death, and others abducted and tortured to death. The blood of priests has become familiar with our soil.
But here is the thing many do not understand: a priest is already a victim. Every priest, at ordination, is configured to Christ the High Priest who “offered Himself once for all” (Hebrews 7:27). To be a priest therefore is to live in constant self-offering – an immolation at the altar of service.
As such, when you kill a priest, you are not ending a life; you are completing a sacrifice. You may have spilled his blood, but he already gave it. You may have pierced his body, but he had long placed it on the altar of sacrifice. A priest dies before he is killed – by the love that makes him a victim for others.
When you kill a priest, you do not kill a man with silver and gold. You kill a man who buried himself in broken villages, who fed children, who raised altars where hope was scarce. You murder a man whose weapon is the Word and whose power is prayer. What, then, do you gain?
The priest is a bridge (Hebrews 5:1), a voice for the voiceless, a father to the orphaned, a confessor to the guilty, and a servant to the suffering. To kill a priest is to wage war on mercy, to tear down the very hand reaching out to lift the wounded. To kill a priest is to declare war against grace. But grace always rises again. Like Christ.
To those who raise their hands against priests, keep this in mind: You can kill the priest, but not the priesthood. The blood you spill nourishes the Church. The silence you cause will echo louder than your bullets/weapons. From every martyr, God raises more. And the altar will never be empty. You kill flesh, but the spirit of their sacrifice lives forever. They may fall, but their mission outlives your bullets.
May the soul of that young priest in Kenya, and all the slain priests across Africa, rest in the peace of Christ. And may their deaths stir and awaken us – Church and society – to defend those who defend our hope and to stop this blood because you gain absolutely nothing by killing a priest.

5:22. Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord.
5:23. For the husband is head of the wife, as also Christ is head of the church; and He is the Savior of the body.
5:24. Therefore, just as the church is subject to Christ, so [let] the wives [be] to their own husbands in everything.
STUDY: It is important to note that in Bible teachings, encounter precedes doctrine, in other words, before God places a behavioral demand on man, He has made a provision for encounter with Him, so that the behaviour when expressed, becomes a reflection of God’s glory and not a manifestation of man’s ‘achievement.’.
This principle applies in our text for today: God originally designed marriage to reflect the relationship between Christ and the Church; and the matrimonial instructions in our passage are deliberately put after we have been shown who we are in Christ (as seen in chapters 1 to 3 of the Book of Ephesians). Against that backdrop therefore, we are shown how believing couples should live.
For Christians, submission and love are expressions of humility, trust and reverence towards God’s design for marriage. It involves a willingness to yield to one another and consider a priority, the needs and well-being of the spouse. However, Christian marriage among other things, should emphasize mutual submission, sacrificial love, and servant leadership. Therefore, whether you are married or not, please note that God desires our daily living to mirror his character, especially in our homes. Are you still in love with your wife? Wife, do you submit to your husband?
PRAYER: Lord, please build our homes to glorify you, Amen!

“And the LORD visited Sarah as He had said, and the LORD did unto Sarah as He had spoken.” (Genesis 21:1 KJV)
When God speaks, you need to believe it. The last time I checked, He is relaxed in heaven, laughing, because He has spoken. When God made a promise to Abram, like most of us, he must have thought that it would happen immediately, but as time passed, nothing happened. Soon after, Abram felt like time was running out, but God came to him in a vision in Genesis 15:1 (KJV) and said: “…Fear not, Abram: I am thy shield, and thy exceeding great reward.”
Beloved, the Lord will protect you from all evil; always have that in mind because you matter to Him. Abram said, ‘Lord, You made me a promise when I was 75. Many years after, nothing has happened.’ And God took him out, showed him the stars of the sky, and asked him to number them, further stating to Abram, the vast number of descendants he would have.
In chapter 16, this would have been a likely conversation between Sarai and Abram; she must have said to him, “We probably have to make our own luck now and take our destiny into our hands. I know God said it, but I believe that we stand a much greater chance of having a child through our own arrangement, instead of waiting on God.’ Unfortunately, this is where some believers are; they feel like God needs some help with bringing His word to pass, and want to assist Him. It is interesting to think that mortal, limited man can conceive to give an assist to the immortal, illimitable One. Beloved, God is God; leave Him in His exclusive class.
Sarai’s suggestion of Abram going into Hagar her Egyptian maid in order to have a child, would have been with the idea that after all is said and done, “child is a child”. However, this was not the case; this was the case of a child of promise, and not one that was gotten by human efforts and collusion. That relationship produced Ishmael. But notice that the birth of Ishmael did not stop the promise of God. When it was the appointed time, God visited Sarah as He had promised. Child of God, it may not look like it now, but wait for it; God’s promise to you will come to pass. It will happen without your help. Keep the faith.

DAILY CONFESSION
…If it had not been the Lord who was on my side when men rose up against me: Then they had swallowed me up quick when their wrath was kindled against me: Then the waters had overwhelmed me, the stream had gone over my soul: Then the proud waters had gone over my soul. Blessed be the Lord, who hath not given me as a prey to their teeth. My soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and I am escaped. My help is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth. (Psalm 124:1-8)
The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage. I will bless the Lord, who hath given me counsel: my reins also instruct me in the night seasons. I have set the Lord always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved. Blessed be the Lord, who daily loaded me with benefits, even the God of my salvation. (Psalm 16:6-8,Psalm 68:19)
Every day and in every way I am getting better: spiritually, physically, financially, mentally, morally, and in all my endeavours.
I am called for a purpose; I will fulfill this purpose and I will arrive at God’s ordained destiny for my life. Nothing will cut me short. I will make a formidable impact in my world for the Kingdom. Therefore, I declare that I am a person of integrity, I am spiritually fervent, and I am accountable in all I do because I’ve been raised to live the Kingdom Life here on earth.
