Recently Nigeria passed New Tax Acts which have been causing a lot of uproars of social spa e
On paper, the new tax act is good; it exempts a lot of Nigerians, and it is progressive in nature, but do you know why many are sceptical of its implementation?
One is misinformation engineered by a minority of people who have one grouse or another to grind with the government of the day, and a lack of trust. I will focus on the latter.
Successive Nigerian Governments have not been known to be good custodians of our commonwealth.
They have stolen. They have killed and they have destroyed.
An average Nigerian has zero trust in his government because he has been let down repeatedly over and over again.
He has been told to endure while his government and their cronies waste resources all around.
Why should he now trust this one when he, the government, has not shown any iota of change from what his predecessors are known for?
He is like that serial cheating husband who suddenly develops a plan of romantic activities for his wife when he hasn’t shown a clear way of repenting.
Dear, don’t ever come to a point in your marriage where your partner can’t trust you again.
A point where you are just in the union just for being in it’s sake.
A point where every step of yours is misconstrued as an avenue to more abuses and irresponsibility.
And trust me, this point of total mistrust is not from one-off mistakes, it is arrived at from repeated mistakes.
Don’t ever let trust go out of your marriage for it is the currency of the union.
Thanks for reading.
God bless Nigeria.
God bless our marriage in Jesus

Merry Christmas!
It’s no coincidence that today’s chapter. Matthew 25 is all about readiness, stewardship, compassion, and kingdom reward. Christ has come, and now He calls us to live as people who belong to Him.
Yesterday in Matthew 24, we learned to stay watchful. Today, Matthew 25 shows us HOW:
1. The Ten Virgins Spiritually Prepared
“The bridegroom was a long time in coming… the wise took oil in jars.” Matthew 25:4
Life in Him requires spiritual oil consistent intimacy, prayer, Word, obedience.
2. The Talents, Steward What God Gave You
“Well done, good and faithful servant.” Matthew 25:21
Christmas reminds us that God gave His Son.
Our response is to give Him our gifts, time, grace, service, resources.
3. The Sheep and Goats. Love Practically
“I was hungry and you gave Me food… Whatever you did for the least of these, you did for Me.” Matthew 25:35,40
Life in Him is visible in compassion.
This links deeply with the entire journey from Day 1 until now:
Life in Him is watching, waiting, loving, serving, and becoming like Christ.
And today we celebrate His birth, the One who came so we can have LIFE in His name.
CALL TO ACTION
On this Christmas Day, choose one intentional act of love for someone who cannot repay you. Let Christ shine through you.
Yesterday exposed religious hypocrisy. Today in Matthew 24, Jesus shifts focus to the end times and our need for watchfulness.
He speaks honestly about challenges:
“Nation will rise against nation… and there will be famines and earthquakes.” Matthew 24:7
Life in Him is not escapism. It is readiness.
He adds:
“But the one who endures to the end will be saved.” Matthew 24:13
This links perfectly with Day 23: authentic faith must endure, not just appear strong.
Jesus then teaches the parable of the fig tree and the faithful servant.
You and I must remain awake, alert, faithful, and unshaken.
Life in Him means living every day like He could return today.
CALL TO ACTION
Reflect on an area of your life where you’ve grown spiritually “sleepy.” Reignite it today; prayer, study, service, purity
From love being our kingdom culture, Matthew 23 exposes the opposite: hypocrisy.
Jesus speaks directly firmly but lovingly to the religious elites:
“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites!” Matthew 23:13
He unveils the danger of outward spirituality without inward transformation.
Life in Him is authenticity.
It is integrity.
It is allowing Christ to shape the inside first.
He says:
“You clean the outside of the cup… but inside they are full of greed and self-indulgence.” Matthew 23:25
This connects with Day 22: Love must begin in the heart, not surface.
Jesus ends the chapter lamenting over Jerusalem:
“How often I wanted to gather your children together… but you were not willing.” Matthew 23:37
Life in Him means yielding to His gathering embrace.
CALL TO ACTION
Ask God to expose any area where you appear spiritual outwardly but need healing inwardly. Pray for His cleansing
From welcoming the King in Day 21, today Matthew 22 teaches us what the King truly values: LOVE.
The Pharisees and Sadducees try to trap Jesus with theological questions, but He silences them with clarity and authority.
When asked about the greatest commandment, He replies:
“You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart…
And love your neighbour as yourself.” Matthew 22:37–39
This is the core of Life in Him:
Not performance.
Not religious debates.
Not doctrinal gymnastics.
LOVE.
Love for God.
Love for people.
Love that transforms behaviour and motives.
Jesus also shares the parable of the wedding banquet reminding us that God has invited everyone, but not everyone values the invitation. Life in Him requires honouring the call of God over complacency.
This ties to Day 21: If Jesus is King, then love is our kingdom culture.
CALL TO ACTION
Today, intentionally show love: a message, a prayer, a gift, a forgiveness. Love is the proof of your walk with Him.
Yesterday in Matthew 20, Jesus redefined greatness as service. Today in Matthew 21, that servant King enters Jerusalem, not on a war horse, but on a donkey. The chapter opens with fulfilment:
“Behold, your King is coming to you, humble, and mounted on a donkey.” Matthew 21:5
Life in Him means recognising Jesus not only as Saviour but as King.
As He entered Jerusalem, people cried:
“Hosanna to the Son of David!” Matthew 21:9
“Hosanna” means Save us now.
This links beautifully with yesterday’s lesson: true greatness is found in the One who came not to be served, but to serve.
But almost immediately, Jesus cleanses the temple. He confronts corruption and restores purity. Life in Him is both celebration and cleansing. He enters joyfully but also overturns what dishonours God.
He ends the chapter warning the religious leaders with parables of responsibility and accountability.
Life in Him is stewardship. It demands fruit.
CALL TO ACTION
Welcome Jesus intentionally today. Invite Him to cleanse anything in your “temple” your heart, habits, or priorities that needs His touch.
From the surrender of Day 19, today Jesus teaches us what true greatness looks like.
He tells the parable of the workers in the vineyard, reminding us that God’s generosity is not based on human ranking. At the end, He declares:
“So the last will be first, and the first last.” Matthew 20:16
Life in Him means embracing God’s order, not man’s.
Then Jesus predicts His death again showing us that greatness is sacrificial.
He concludes with a powerful statement:
“The Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve.” Matthew 20:28
Service is the heartbeat of true greatness.
This builds on Day 19’s call to surrender: when your heart is surrendered to Christ, service becomes joy, not burden.
CALL TO ACTION
Serve someone intentionally today. A message, a gift, a prayer, or a helping hand, do it with love.
Matthew 19 flows naturally from Matthew 18 because relationships continue this time touching marriage, children, and riches.
Jesus teaches that God’s intention for marriage is covenant, not convenience. He blesses children and rebukes anyone who pushes them away.
Then the rich young ruler approaches with sincerity but not surrender. Jesus says:
“If you want to be perfect, go, sell what you have… and follow Me.” Matthew 19:21
The issue wasn’t money; it was attachment.
The man wanted eternal life without sacrifice.
He wanted Jesus without surrender.
Life in Him demands our whole heart.
This connects strongly with Day 18: the glory of God must be seen in practical obedience.
CALL TO ACTION
Ask God to reveal any “riches” in your life; attachments, idols, comforts, that compete with Him. Surrender one today.
Yesterday we saw the glory of Christ. Today, Matthew 18 brings us down the mountain into the everyday reality of relationships.
Jesus begins with humility, placing a child before His disciples:
“Whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.” Matthew 18:4
Life in Him is practical. It is relational. It shapes how we treat people, forgive people, and even discipline ourselves.
Jesus teaches about:
Offenses
Forgiveness
Restoring lost brothers
Dealing with sin
Unlimited mercy
Peter asks how many times we should forgive, and Jesus answers:
“Seventy times seven.” Matthew 18:22
Yesterday, we saw God’s glory. Today, He shows us what that glory looks like in human relationships, humility, patience, forgiveness, and reconciliation.
CALL TO ACTION
Think of someone who has offended you. Pray for them today. Even if you can’t reconcile yet, start with prayer.
