Psalm. 34: 2-9 (R. 9a)

Gospel. Matthew 5: 1-12


TOPIC FOR REFLECTION


ALWAYS CARRY JESUS WITH YOU 247

My dear, many of us are used to praying in the morning when we wake up, and perhaps @ night before we retire to bed. But, I bet you that the majority of us do not carry Jesus along in our daily routines.


Let me sight some examples below

As you move out to enter a car, bus, keke, bike, trekking/walking, we should say


Lord as I enter any of the above, enter with me.

As I trek/walk,  walk with me

As I alight, alight with me Lord Jesus

As I open the door of my office, shop, workshop, etc, Lord Jesus be the one who opened it, and not me, because as you open it, your presence will become radiant.

As I interact with clients, customers, students, friends, and colleagues, at work today, Lord Jesus be the interacting with them, not me, because you are the fullness of wisdom.

As so on like that......


My dear, if we carry Jesus along with our daily activities, we will make less no mistakes at all, in fact, our spirituality will increase more, and sin will reduce,  because we will become aware of Jesus' presence regularly.


It is when we act in these manners that we will feel the impact of the beatitude in our lives.


THE BEATITUDES


Jesus said:


Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs, is the kingdom of heaven. How will our poor spirit not be blessed, when Jesus is with us 247.

Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted. Our daily pains and sorrows we mourn over shall receive consolation once we carry Jesus with us 247.

Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth. Being with Jesus 247 will teach one how to be meek

“Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied. In fact, to be with Jesus 247 has already quenched our thirst and hunger for righteousness, because we shall always be spirit filled.

Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy. Being with Jesus 247 will help one to become more merciful.

Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God. To be with Jesus 247 will help our hearts become pure because evil thoughts will not fill our hearts again.

Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God. To be with Jesus the Prince of Peace will teach one how to become peaceful.

Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. To be with Jesus 247, one may not too much feel the pain of the persecution,  because Jesus is constantly present.

Blessed are you when men revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for so men persecuted the prophets who were before you.

Gbam!!! Jesus has concluded it all.


Let us enjoy our stay on earth while being with Jesus 247 in all our activities of the day.


Please 🙏,  try the above-suggested daily activities with Jesus,  you will give the testimony.


Peace ✌️ be with you.

DO YOU KNOW WHY AND HOW JESUS OVERCAME HIS TEMPTATION?

 Sunday, February 26, 2023. FIRST SUNDAY OF LENT (A) First Reading. Genesis 2: 7-9; 3: 1-7 Psalm. 51: 3-6, 12-14, and 17 (R. cf. 3a) Second Reading. Romans 5: 12- 19 Gospel. Matthew 4: 1-11 TOPIC FOR REFLECTION  YOUR DESIRE IS YOUR TEMPTATION.  Do you know why JESUS did not fall into temptation? It is because...  1. He is divine and not of the flesh; remember, only flesh is tempted and not the Spirit.  2. He came from Heaven, and not from the earth.  3. He is in the world, but not of the world.  4. All that exists on earth was created THROUGH HIM, AND WITH HIM, AND IN HIM. So, how can what he creates tempt Him the creator? 5. He came to save and to teach us how to be saved, by extension, how to overcome temptation.  I will like to quickly remind us that all temptations in life fall under 3 categories. They are...  1. PLEASURE  2. POWER  3. POSSESSION.  Jesus was tempted by these 3 categories.  They are as follows:  1. The temptation of pleasure: Turn these stones into bread. Jesus did

IF JESUS WAS BAD, CAN YOU FOLLOW HIM?

 *Sunday, October 22, 2023*  29TH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME YEAR A  *MISSION SUNDAY*  First Reading. Isaiah 45: 1, 4-6 PSALM 96: 1, 3-5, 7-10 (R. 7b) Second Reading 1 Thessalonians 1:1-5 Gospel. Matthew 22: 15-21 TOPIC FOR REFLECTION  *IF JESUS WAS NOT RESPONSIBLE, WILL YOU FOLLOW HIM?*  Today is mission Sunday, and for anyone to live a fulfilled missionary life, such ought to be a responsible person. No one can survive on a mission land if he lacks good character. I hope you know that Jesus' good character attracted us to follow Him in His mission. So will anyone with good character on a mission influence or attract people to God? Good character attracts, while bad character repels. Jesus is a good man because his ways of life are good. Christianity is a good religion because it is Jesus' way of life. Therefore, Christianity is a way of life. So, since Christianity is a way of life, it teaches how to live a good responsible life filled with a high sense of responsibility.  A Chr

DO NOT BE A HYPOCRITICAL PERSON

 *Friday, October 20, 2023*  Weekday (28) Ordinary Time A First Reading. Romans 4: 1-8 Psalm 32: 1-2, 5, 11 (R. see 7). Gospel. Luke 12: 1-7 TOPIC FOR REFLECTION  *TRUST GOD, BUT AVOID HYPOCRISY*  Jesus said, "Be on your guard against the yeast of the Pharisees – that is, their hypocrisy".  It simply means if you know anybody with the under-listed attributes, please in your interest and for the sake of your future, avoid them. If you can't avoid them, learn to manage them. Do not keep such persons as friends, unless you want to ruin your future. So, avoid: 1. The people who are not real, fake by nature. 2. Those who teach the wrong doctrine 3. Those who blackmail and slander people. Note: Be aware that those who gossip to you about others have already massacred you to other people before coming to you. Avoid them. 4. Those who are pretenders  5. Those who are full of eye 👀  service 6. Those who live and dine with envy and jealousy. etc. Jesus went further to say, that ev
