ETERNAL WORD OF LIFE MINISTRY (EWLM)

TODAY'S HOMILY IN BRIEF. Jesus, recognising the imperative place of collaboration and teamwork in the mission of the church on earth, sends out seventy of His disciples in pairs on mission.

Kindly listen to today's episo...

TODAY'S HOMILY IN BRIEF. Gradually, vices are being turned into norms and people are beginning to pride themselves in vices and the society is gradually making virtues and Christian values to appear abnormal, obsolete, inhuman and vicious. Thus, while the wicked and ungodly pride themselves in wickedness and ungodliness, many Christians are made to feel ashamed of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Are y...

TODAY'S HOMILY IN BRIEF. Though evil may seem to triumph and the wicked may appear to prosper and live undisturbed, their end is close and it would always be disastrous. The righteous will flourish and inherit the land. Indeed, blessed are those who hear the Word of God and keep it; those who strive in sincerity to do the will of God. Kindly listen to today's episode of my podcast for details of t...

TODAY'S HOMILY IN BRIEF. We can not be benefiaries of demon-infested systems, structures and institutions and claim to be casting out demons. To truly cast out demons and doing so in the name of the true and living God, we must be united in the fight against evil in all its forms and manifestations. Until we say no to the benefits of demonic systems, structures and institutions, we can not truly c...

TODAY'S HOMILY IN BRIEF. Yes, many feel today that it doesn't pay anymore to keep one's hands clean of evil in our present day society. However, today's readings suggest the contrary. In fact, the righteous shall be distinguished from the wicked by the outcome of their life. God assures us of visiting the righteous to heal, restore and bless them as well as answer their prayers in their time of ne...

TODAY'S HOMILY IN BRIEF. Forgiveness is one of the most difficult demands of the Christian faith yet an indispensable and imperative dimension of the Christian way of life.

It's impossible to be truly a Christian without the virtue of forgiveness. Kindly listen t...

TODAY'S HOMILY IN BRIEF. There is no path that's better than the path of learning and doing the will of God. This explains why Jesus would insist that obedience is better than sacrifice. In humble submission, let us come to the feet of Jesus to learn with keen attention the will of God and fervently live by His will in our daily life. Like Jesus, let us make the doing of the will of God our food....

TODAY'S HOMILY IN BRIEF. Indeed, the life we live has effects on others. When we live in accordance with the will of God, we become blessings unto others. On the other hand, refusal to live in accordance with the will makes one a curse unto others. Let's go out today and always, like the good Samaritan, living in such a way that we become blessings to others. We're meant to be neighbours, not riva...

TODAY'S HOMILY IN BRIEF. If what you aspire to as your source of joy and happiness and things that are earth-bound, then true and lasting joy, inner peace and enduring happiness will certainly elude you as such are transient. Jesus in the Gospel of today admonishes us not to anchor our joy, peace, happiness and sense of fulfilment on anything mundane, carnal and earth-bound but on what is eternal...

TODAY'S HOMILY IN BRIEF. Indeed wickedness begets woes. This is evident in the life of individuals, communities and nations. On the other hand, kindness and righteousness bring blessings and peace. A community, nation or an individual in whose life righteousness and kindness prevail finds peace, progress, sustainable development and other blessings. We must be ready for the consequences of our cho...

TODAY'S HOMILY IN BRIEF. Upon the realisation of the gross infidelity to God following their return the exile in Babylon, the Israelites broke down in tears bemoaning their Iniquities. Ezra, the priest, however, told them as God tells us today; do not mourn or weep for this day is holy to the Lord your God. On the contrary, like the Israelites, we're to go rejoicing since, having realised the grav...

TODAY'S HOMILY IN BRIEF. In following Jesus Christ, if you seek any gain before you give up anything in His service you'll be frustrated and disappointed in your followership of Jesus.

TODAY'S HOMILY IN BRIEF. A close review of our past as individuals and as a people reveals the vanity and folly of the life lived in sin and how much calamity we suffer for our individual and cooperate errors, negligence and sins.

TODAY'S HOMILY IN BRIEF. Great indeed is the mystery of our faith and religion. Ours is a Saviour who manifested Himself in our human form, died for our sins, rose from the dead to save us, preached among the nations for the salvation of the world and taken up into heaven in glory as a pledge of our glorification. Though His crucifixion is a stumbling block to the Jews and folly to the Greeks, it...
