BE VIGILANT: STAY AWAKE  Fr. Daniel Evbotokhai Isaiah 2:1-5/Psalm 121(122)/Romans 13:11-14/Matthew 24:37-44   Today is the first Sunday of Advent – a new liturgical year in the Church. It is my prayer that this liturgical year will bring about revival in the Church. The Advent season includes the four Sundays that precede Christmas. In this […]

Be on your guard Daniel 7:15–27; Luke 21:34–36 Today, as the liturgical year ends, Jesus throws a holy warning at us: “Be on your guard!” Why? Because the world is busy drowning itself in pleasure, noise, depression, and distractions, while heaven is calling us to vigilance. The devil doesn’t need to destroy you; he just […]

 PRAYER OR PREY?  Daniel 6:12-28; Psalm – Daniel 3:68-74; Luke 21:20-28 Daniel didn’t only pray; he also revolted against the king’s destructive decree. True men of prayer don’t bow to evil; they rise against it. If we claim to be people of prayer, then we must also revolt against wickedness and resist the evil men […]

When God Weighs a Nation Daniel 5:1-6, 13-14, 16-17, 23-28; Psalm – Daniel 3:62-67; Luke 21:12-19 Daniel 5 is not just ancient history, it is Nigeria’s mirror today. Belshazzar threw a party while his nation was collapsing… Is that not our reality; leaders feasting while citizens bleed? He used sacred vessels for dirty entertainment…Just as […]

Daniel’s Interpretation Daniel 2:31–45 | Ps. 3| Luke 21:5–11 Nebuchadnezzar’s dream shook the palace, but Daniel’s interpretation shook the kingdom. The message was simple yet brutal: Every human empire will fall. Only God’s kingdom stands forever. So why panic over the chaos around us? Nations rise, nations crumble—but Christ’s reign is unshakeable. Daniel reminds us […]

CLEANSING THE TRUE TEMPLE Ezekiel 47:1–12; 1 Corinthians 3:9–17; Psalm 46; John 2:13–22; In the Gospel (John 2:13–22), we encounter Jesus entering the Temple — not as a pilgrim, but as Lord. The Temple, the very dwelling place of God’s presence, had become corrupted by commerce. With divine zeal, Jesus overturns the tables, drives out […]

FAITHFULESS  Romans 16:3–9, 16, 22–27 /Psalm 144:2-5,10-11 │ Luke 16:9–15 Jesus says, “Whoever is faithful in little things will be faithful in great ones.” God tests our hearts through the small tasks we often ignore. Many want big miracles but despise small responsibilities. The truth is, faithfulness in small things is what qualifies us for […]

THE CRAFTY STEWARD  Romans 15:14–21; Psalm 122; Luke 16:1–8 Today’s Gospel presents us with the parable of the crafty steward. Jesus is not asking us to be corrupt but to be clever for heaven. The steward used his position to secure his future; many Christians, however, waste their opportunities and gifts without thinking of eternity. St. […]

One Soul Matters Romans 14:7-12;Psalm 26:1,4,13-14; Luke 15:1-10 Today’s parables of the lost sheep and coin emphasized the value of the “one”. The one sheep, one coin, one sinner. God is obsessed with the one we easily forget. This is the heart of God: no one is too small, too dirty, too broken, or too […]

 Debt of Love Romans 13:8–10; Psalm 111:1-2,4-5,9; Luke 14:25–33 St. Paul says: “Owe no one anything, except to love one another.” In a world drowning in financial debt, emotional debt, and spiritual debt, Paul says there is ONE DEBT God wants you to keep paying without ever finishing: LOVE. Love that costs, bleeds, in fact, […]
