  1. People will blame you, say nasty things and fabricate stories about you because you refused to be part of their drama. Let it be. Don't let them disrupt your peace. The Almighty knows the truth. That’s all that matters. 2. Speak the truth and mean what you say. Your word is your honour. Too many people make empty promises which they never intend to fulfil. 3. Don’t ever think that you’re stuck in any circumstance. Nothing is too difficult for the Almighty. Hold on firmly to your faith. It’s a matter of time before you see the light at the end of the tunnel. The breakthrough will come. 4. Foolish is the one who chases fame. It's greed for attention. It won’t last. If addicted to it, you feel you’re always on display, you have to act differently to different people and can't be 'real'. You crave publicity and want your experiences to be recognized by all. ‬ 5. Stop stressing when others give up on you, walk out on you and turn their backs on you. It’s not the en...

1.  You want inner peace? Don’t worry about what others may think of you or whatever people may say. Lower your expectation of others. Don’t be distracted by the petty talk people may throw at you. Focus on what you want to achieve and keep going. 2. Violence in all forms is totally wrong and unacceptable, no matter what our differences may be. 3. No act of kindness that you do, no matter how small will go unnoticed. The Almighty is All-Knowing and sees what you do in private and He has promised to reward you openly for your faithfulness. ‬ 4. Never forget that if the Almighty wills, He can take you at any time, any place. You could be in the pink of health but if He says you must go, you’ll have to leave this world. So live in a state of preparedness and always be grateful for another day. 5. People tend to grow apart after some time. It happens. Your circle of friends and who you hang out with will change. It may be uncomfortable. Some people may find it hard to accept. But that...

  1. When someone has failed in what they set out to do, don’t push them down even harder. Give a word of encouragement. Uttering good words to someone after failure is worth more than all the praise you can give after success. 2. We live in a selfish world today. Every man for himself. But don’t be selfish with your prayer. Pray for your friends, your family, loved ones, as well as those you don't know. Remember, you may think it’s not much but your sincere prayer could change someone's situation. 3. Almighty. You hear the prayers and words we don’t utter but keep in our hearts. Help us to overcome the hardships and struggles in our lives. We know You will. You always have our best interest. We trust You. Aameen. 4. Success is a test from the Almighty. Many find it easy to forget Him when success comes their way. But if we remember that success comes from Him, we will pass the test with flying colours and He will grant us even more. 5. There’s too much jealousy going around. D...

  1. Take the spite out of your heart. Purify it. Your heart is a small organ. When you fill it with hatred for someone, you’re preventing it from being filled with the love of the Almighty. Always ask Him to protect us from hearts that are consumed with hatred, envy etc. 2. There will be temptations in life. But keep your heart firm on what is favoured by the Almighty. Keep yourself away from His displeasure. He is the Provider. If you remain firm in faith, following His way, He will provide for you from sources you wouldn’t even imagine. 3. Money is important, for sure. But you don’t have to go crazy over it. The Almighty has written it for you, there is no need for you to lie, cheat, deceive, resort to fraud, abuse the rights of others just to make some extra bucks. Greed doesn’t pay. 4. Each and everyone of us matters to the Almighty. He knows all there is to know about us; the good, the bad; the ugly. He created us. He cares about us. He loves us more than we could ever imagi...

  1. You’re disappointed not because of other people’s behavior but because of your own expectations. Accept the fact that people will let you down. Time and again. They’ll show you their true colours eventually. Learn to expect only from the One who made you. He always delivers. 2. Beware the shackles of Satan, pulling you deeper and deeper into worldly affairs. It’s never easy when you’re trying to get close to your Maker. The world will pull you in one way and the Almighty wants you in the opposite direction. Always choose Him. 3. All shades of colours are beautiful. The Almighty doesn’t tolerate arrogance and racism. It’s a sin. He is only concerned with the state of your heart and your level of piety. Keep your focus on the right things. 4. Almighty. We pray for those who are suffering and broken. Those who are trying to shake off their past mistakes and have a better life. Those who cry alone at night while the world sleeps. Grant them peace and healing. Aameen. ‬ 5. Don’t le...

  1. Almighty. Help us to truly understand that things work by Your schedule. Not ours. We tend to forget that. We’re always in a rush. That’s what this world has taught us. Sadly, we forget that one of the biggest life lessons You’re teaching us is patience. 2. If the Almighty has chosen to guide you, be thankful. Remember, He guides whom He wills and it’s His Mercy that has enveloped you. Thank Him. Don’t belittle those who have deviated from His path. He can change their situation any time. 3. It’s easy to be carried away by the glitter of this world. It can harm you, it can kill you. It depends on you. It’s simply a bridge you need to cross to get into your final, permanent home. Spend your energy and invest wisely to build that home so you’ll have no regrets. 4. When something is taken away from us or when calamity strikes, the Almighty always gives us the strength to deal with it, otherwise it would never have come to us in the first place. He never burdens a soul with more t...

  1. The Almighty doesn't like excess and extravagance. Live within your means. Don't overdo it.‬ 2. We all want things to fall into place. For life to go the way we want. But life doesn't work that way. Just do your best and trust the Almighty’s Plans. 3. Learn to manage anger and frustration positively. Don't vent and make matters worse. Slow down. Pray for guidance. You'll see things in perspective. 4. May the Almighty protect us from all evil. They could be in the form of lies to our faces, or behind our backs, hurtful words and actions as well as people with bad intent. 5. When bad things and injustice befall you, don't cave in. Be patient. Nothing that happens in your life is random. The Almighty knows and sees everything. He will surely take care of things. 6. Almighty. We pray for the sick, the injured, the broken, the downtrodden and the hopeless. We ask You to restore their well-being, comfort them, soothe their pain, ease their burden and their worry...

  1. Too many people talk but don’t act. They make promises but never fulfil them. Such is the way of the world today. Beware such hypocrisy. 2. Avoid sharing details of your problems with people. Most don’t care and would prefer to gossip about it. Take it to the Almighty instead. 3. There’s no need to know it all. No one does. Remember, we are all a work in progress. Each day, we try to learn more and be better. That’s what matters. 4. It’s normal for us to feel unappreciated and unrewarded if we’re doing things for the wrong reasons. Change your intent. Do it for the sake of the Almighty and He will reward you. 5. It’s easy to think the worst of something. In fact, it comes naturally to many. To think the best requires faith. Especially when things look bleak. That’s the Almighty testing you to see how you’ll respond. Do you crumble and throw in the towel or do you press on and trust Him? 6. Use whatever the Almighty has bestowed on you to help others as much as you can. It need...

  1. Negative emotions bring about negative consequences. Just as we learn how helpful love & compassion can be, we must also understand that anger, pride, jealousy & arrogance can be detrimental. Always choose to respond positively. It will have a huge impact on your life. 2. When your heart is heavy & burdened & your mind sees no way out, that’s when you need to trust the Almighty & depend on Him even more. Don’t entertain negative thoughts from Satan. Rise above it. It won’t be easy but you must do it. Bear utmost patience & He will find a way out. 3. Be careful of the friends you choose for you may become like them. The opinions of your friends are often more important than others; even your family. That’s why it’s in your best interest to choose your friends wisely. They can be the reason why you succeed or fail. 4. You have the choice to focus on your blessings or your problems. Whichever you choose will either bring about contentment or worry and grie...
