Everyday is a Special Day


We’ve been programmed to believe that the good days—special events, dreams, and prosperity—are always ahead of us. Are you questioning my thoughts? Let me explain.

Why do our parents set aside clothes for special occasions, teaching us that only certain days—Sundays, birthdays, weddings—are worth dressing up for? This conditioning makes us view ordinary days as less significant. The same goes for food; certain delicacies are reserved for those “special” moments.

But what if we flipped this programming? In many aspects of life, clothing reflects the task at hand. We wear game gear for sports, elegant outfits for dining, and comfortable attire for relaxation. Our appearance should signify our purpose, not just the special occasions.

Food, too, should be about health and enjoyment every day, not just reserved for celebrations. And gadgets? They should serve as tools for entertainment and relaxation, not just for special events.

Religion can also play a role in this balance—a reminder that life is spiritual and the physical world is just a reflection of that reality.

So, are you still trapped in that old programming? It’s your turn to embrace the idea that every day is special. Live fully! Dress well, visit beautiful places, savor your meals, and create memories. Acknowledge the Creator and His wonders.

I am grateful for my parents for instilling these lessons. Let’s celebrate every day as the special day it truly is!

Samson and Delilah: When Love Lacks Leadership By Solomon Ebenezer

                 Image from pinterest.com Samson and Delilah: When Love Lacks Leadership By Solomon Ebenezer Samson ’s story is one of the most intriguing in Scripture — a man chosen by God, filled with strength that no warrior could match, yet undone by a woman he loved. But when you look closely, you’ll see it wasn’t Delilah ’s beauty that destroyed him. It was the absence of leadership in his love. Let’s journey through their story again, not as history, but as a mirror for today.  Samson didn’t teach Delilah how a wife in Israel behaves Samson, the mighty judge of Israel , was meant to deliver his people from the Philistines . Yet, one evening, while walking through the valley of Sorek , he met Delilah — a woman whose charm silenced his discernment. He fell for her instantly. But love, when not guided by wisdom, becomes a weapon turned inward. Samson brought Delilah into his arms, but not into his world. He never showed h...

THE LIFESTYLE OF A STEWARD: HOW TO LIVE A LIFE GOD CAN TRUST By Ebenezer Solomon     Images from pinterest.com INTRODUCTION We live in a world obsessed with ownership . Everyone wants to own more—more money, more time, more opportunities, more space. But spiritually and practically, true greatness is not built on ownership—it is built on stewardship . A steward is someone who understands a simple but powerful truth: “I own nothing; I manage everything.” This mindset changes how you see your life, your work, your relationships, and even your future. When you live as a steward, you stop living carelessly and start living intentionally. You begin to protect, grow, and multiply whatever God has placed in your hands. This is the lifestyle that attracts favor, promotion, and influence. WHO IS A STEWARD? A steward is a trusted manager—someone responsible for handling something valuable that belongs to Another. The Bible says in Psalm 24:1 : “The earth is the Lord’s, and everything...

Overcoming Fear: Unlocking Your Potential for Legacy

Image
  In our lives, we often find ourselves reflecting on the choices we've made, wondering how things might have been different. Regrets linger, fueled by overthinking, as we struggle to seize opportunities. Time seems to slip away, and we find ourselves blaming others, even though deep down, we know the responsibility lies with us. At the heart of these regrets is fear—fear of discomfort, fear of failure, and fear of losing what we've built. "Regrets linger, fueled by overthinking; it’s fear that confines us." Consider the story of a determined teacher who sought to expand his circle of disciples. When he reached out for new followers, he encountered various excuses: one disciple needed to bury his father, another had just married, and a third wanted to test a new tool. Each one let fear and hesitation limit their potential. Yet, the disciples who accepted the call went on to achieve remarkable feats, their legacies remembered through the ages. The ones who hesitated? T...
