ETERNAL WORD OF LIFE MINISTRY (EWLM)

TODAY'S HOMILY IN BRIEF. Beloved child, indeed God knows all about your situation. He has sent Jesus Christ your way today to help you. You only need to have faith in Him for He is able and willing to help you. We cannot truly claim to have faith in God without a genuine act of repentance. This is because a sincere faith in God gives birth to a new way of life lived in the quest to stay in full co...

TODAY'S HOMILY IN BRIEF. It is impossible to please God without faith. With faith nothing is impossible for God. God is ever with us on our journey through life. We must always recognise and acknowledge this fact and act always on it. The name of the Lord is a strong tower where the righteous run into and they are saved. They apostles did and Abraham did and they were not only saved but brought to...

TODAY'S HOMILY IN BRIEF. Nothing good comes easy. In life great things take a lot of sacrifices, efforts and time to come about. Be weary of the mantra of working smart rather than working hard. As true as this may sound, it can be misleading if you are not able to see in that mantra that working smart necessarily entails hardworking. Indeed, by your patient endurance you will win your life. Wait...

TODAY'S HOMILY IN BRIEF. Beyond the twelve apostles Jesus appointed to work very closely with Him, in today's Gospel passage He appointed yet seventy others to go ahead of Him to preach the Gospel message of God's kingdom. Similarly, Saint Paul, just like the apostles, raised people like Timothy and Titus (among others) to work as his collaborators in spreading the Good News and blessings of the K...

TODAY'S HOMILY IN BRIEF. God has not condemned you. Do not condemned yourself. You can be saved, do not give up on God. Keep close to God always and seek to know Him better each day. The greatest saint today can still turn out to be the worst sinner tomorrow. Just as the worst sinner today can become the grew saint tomorrow. Kindly listen to today's episode of my podcast for details of today's hom...

TODAY'S HOMILY IN BRIEF. Whatever we do that is not prompted by, motivated by and targeted at doing the will of God, no matter how religious or lawful or laudable, is but folly and often evil. The law in itself and by itself alone has no power to save, only the will of God does. The law devoid of the will of God destroys what it promises to save. It is only in the doing of the will of God that the...

TODAY'S HOMILY IN BRIEF. We must learn to make sacrifices for the future generations and for one another rather than sacrificing the future generations and one another if we must create a better world for ourselves and for all. Nothing is worth sacrificing others and/or the future generations for. In fact, it's an obligation upon us to leave a better society than we inherited for the next generati...

TODAY'S HOMILY IN BRIEF. Through Jesus Christ we've been given the access to the Holy of Holies of God. Jesus Christ, unlike the priests if old, is without sin and, unlike the priests of old who offered the blood of animals, He offers Himself and pours out His own blood for the remission of our sins. He offers Himself once for all. He spares nothing but pours out Himself as a libation for the forg...

TODAY'S HOMILY IN BRIEF. Every covenant has its own terms just as every contract has its own terms and conditions. The old covenant couldn't save the entire humanity from sin and condemnation; only the new covenant does. As members of this new covenant we must live our life in the light of this new covenant, having Jesus Christ as our model. Kindly listen to today's episode of my podcast for detai...

TODAY'S HOMILY IN BRIEF. Human existence is often a reality of two opposites. Jesus was a successful person in human terms. Nevertheless, He never allowed His success stories becloud the vision He had of His mission on earth. At every ovation He literally retreats to contemplate and refocus and this ritual in turn begets greater ovations. He remain connected always to the Divine Master stayed fait...

TODAY'S HOMILY IN BRIEF. Who's your king? To whom have you surrendered your will and pledged your loyalty? Who's the anchor of your life? Be careful about the choices you make in life as each has its consequences. Your life isn't just dependent on material/temporal things alone. Pledge you loyalty to, surrender your will to and anchor your life in God through Jesus Christ so you fine peace and liv...

TODAY'S HOMILY IN BRIEF. Persevere in good works always for you shall be remembered by what you have done. God would not be so unjust as to forget all you have done, the love that you have for his name or the services you have done, and are still doing, for others. To be able to persevere in good works, however, you must develop a last trust and faith in God, for He is able and willing to take car...

TODAY'S HOMILY IN BRIEF. Every good gift comes from God. Just like the priests, every human person is created by God for a purpose and entrusted with a specific mission. In your call/gift lies your God-given honour. Your call/gift is meant to be employed judiciously in the service of God and humanity. Unfortunately, when ruled by the senses we become slaves rather than masters to our gifts, positi...

TODAY'S HOMILY IN BRIEF. Followership of and friendship with Jesus Christ is not a function of one's qualification of any kind but on the contrary both are open to every human person. In fact, Jesus Christ invites each of us, particularly you as a person just as you are, to share in His friendship and collaborate with Him as a disciple of His. We become His friends (saved) and subsequently His dis...

TODAY'S HOMILY IN BRIEF. The wages of sin is death but Jesus Christ, the Son of man, has come that we may have life and have it in abundance. Sin separates us from God and once separated from God we loose our "immunity" and as such we become vulnerable to death (we are alienated from God; the source of life). Thus, following the faith of his friends, Jesus reconciles the paralytic brought to Him i...

TODAY'S HOMILY IN BRIEF. . God is ever willing to forgive you, heal you, restore you, transform your life and to do all that will bring about your holistic wellbeing. Nevertheless, you must be ready to turn away from your old way of life that keeps you at enmity with God. Jesus Christ came to call the sinner into righteousness and the sick into a healthy life and a healthy living. Kindly listen to...

TODAY'S HOMILY IN BRIEF. In the incarnation of Jesus Christ God condescends to share in our human nature thereby lifting us above our human nature to share in His Divine nature. By baptism God makes us His children by adoption through Jesus Christ. By His suffering/passion He shares in our human reality with all the challenges characterising it. By His sinless life He shows us the way to God the F...

TODAY'S HOMILY IN BRIEF. There are principles and laws that are said to be universal principles and laws and such principles and laws are said to operate independent of human beings and are binding on every human being. This fact we acknowledge with ease. In a similar vein, we must acknowledge even more the authority of the author of such universal principles and laws; namely God. This recognition...

TODAY'S HOMILY IN BRIEF. Through baptism we, through adoption in Jesus Christ, are made the children of God. Through His own baptism, Jesus Christ transforms our fallen nature and restores us into full communion with God, thereby making us friends and children of God and coheirs with Him. A Christian is not just an ordinary person by virtue of his/her baptism. For our NINE-DAY-BEGINNING OF THE MON...

TODAY'S HOMILY IN BRIEF. You may not have all the time as favourable as that which you have now to effect those positive changes you desire in your personal and family life, in your career, relationships and society. Repent in sincerity of heart, believe the Gospel without reservation and allow God's will guide your daily life. For our NINE-DAY-BEGINNING OF THE MONTH INTENSIVE PRAYERS AND NOVENA k...

TODAY'S HOMILY IN BRIEF. Today's Gospel demonstrates that; nothing is impossible with God, God is ever willing and able to attend to the needs of His people, God works through human instruments and, very importantly, we only need the indwelling of God's Spirit, right disposition and faith to enjoy the manifestation of God's power in addressing our needs. What's your situation today and in what are...

TODAY'S HOMILY IN BRIEF. God in Jesus Christ takes the human nature in order to share in our humanity. The sacrament of baptism makes us the children of God. The implication of this is that we are made to share in the Divine nature (Divinity) of God while still still in human form. As human be fully involved int he life of your society to the extent that it doesn't blur your vision of eternity nor...

TODAY'S HOMILY IN BRIEF. God is love. He created us in love, for love and to love us. In His love He imparts us with life for His love is the agent of Life. Since He's love, He is indeed life and the fulness of life itself. In Jesus Christ we see this life made incarnate and this love expressed in its concrete terms. Today Jesus Christ charges us to love one another. In this charge, He invites us...

TODAY'S HOMILY IN BRIEF. Behold Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God, to slained to take away the sins of the world, save humanity from God's wrath, to free humanity from the afflictions of the devil and to bring upon the world the fulness of God's blessings through divine reconciliation and restoration. I present to you today, dear child of God, Jesus Christ your Saviour. For our NINE-DAY-BEGINNING OF T...

TODAY'S HOMILY IN BRIEF. We're indeed the children of God; the children of righteousness. This is because we're created in the image and likeness of God (cf. Gen. 1:26-27). We share in the image of God not in appearance but in character and in our way of life. Jesus Christ has the fulness of the nature and image of God and as such He's our model in terms of being children of God. For our NINE-DAY-...
