• St. Raphael – Provider of Your Medical Needs

    St. Raphael the healer has come today to bestow upon you healing and growth.

    There are many people that seem healthy on the outside, yet suffer from deep rooted health issues and undiscovered illnesses. What most don’t realize is that we have unattended spiritual medical needs that we oftentimes fail to acknowledge.

    Such weaknesses are often times more pervasive and can lead to even worse physical issues. Today let us take some time to reflect on how we can keep our spiritual well-being healthy and steadfast.

    No matter how much we try to cover our wounds and hide our pain, Saint Raphael, the patron saint of healing sees it all and he is calling upon us to accept his provision for our spiritual medical needs.

    There are various spiritual medical conditions that we suffer and the most common include but not limited to:

    Lack of Faith Syndrome – This is a condition where the patient fails to trust and submit fully to God his creator. The most common symptom of this medical condition is that the patient begins to question God for unanswered prayers and fails to acknowledge that God has his own schedule and time to handle everything according to his will.
    Hypocrisy Virus – This is a common virus that spreads among christians where the patients pretend to be staunch believers yet their actions are different from their words. They pretend to love God yet they have unmatched hatred for their neighbors.
    The provider of our medical needs appeals to us to accept when we are wounded and sick so that we may receive treatment from him.

    Heal Your Wounds
    Once we accept that we are wounded and we stop hiding our spiritual medical needs, then we are ready to have the patron saint of healing come into our life to heal us. Healing can never occur if we fail to acknowledge our illness and be ready to begin spiritual treatment. Sometimes the reason we fail to acknowledge that we are in need of spiritual medical needs is because we think that our wounds are too deep to be healed, thus we feel that there is no hope for us.

    We get to begin the healing process by acknowledging that we are sinners and repenting our sins. Repentance is not just a mere act of confessing out loud the sins that we have committed but it is a soul-searching process where one has to get into deep thought about their actions and the impact of those actions towards God as well as other people.

    Once we understand the implications of our sins, we make a resolve not to commit such actions again and pray that God grants us the grace to keep from near occasions of sin. If we have wronged others, the healing process involves seeking forgiveness from them and making resolutions that will enable us not to acquire the same wound again.

    Take Refuge
    Just as we run towards buildings when it rains to take refuge, we are called upon to take refuge in God whenever we are faced by the storms of spiritual illnesses for he is our eternal healer. When we take refuge in God, we are assured that no matter the number of outbreaks that occur or the viciousness of the spiritual virus variants, no harm will befall us for in him nothing bad can happen to us.

    Like the prodigal son in the bible, many are the times we get spiritually ill yet our father who is God has all the medical supplies capable of restoring us back to health. We distance ourselves from him yet he is the only refuge and solution in our life that we need. Saint Raphael is pleading with us today to let go of any fear of rejection that we harbor for God can never abandon us.

    Even when he appears to be angry at us for running away from him, his unending love for us exceeds the anger. We would rather be under his wing as slaves rather than been far away from him for he is the only refuge we can go to when we feel the need to consult a spiritual medical practioneer.

    Prayer To Saint Raphael
    “O patron saint of healing, I have hidden my wounds too deep and consoled myself that I can handle it all yet it seems as though I am wearing out.

    I plead with you to grant me healing for you are the provider of all my medical needs.

    You are the solution to my long-term spiritual illness and I beseech thee to intercede for me that God may accept me back under his wing where I intend to take refuge forever.”

    Amen

  • Did the Early Church Believe in Purgatory?

    Purgatory is often misunderstood—even by Catholics. Some think it's a later invention, but the truth is: the belief in Purgatory is rooted in the earliest centuries of Christianity. While the term "Purgatory" itself developed over time, the idea of a purifying state after death was present in the teachings, prayers, and practices of the Early Church.

    Scriptural Foundation
    The foundation for Purgatory lies in Scripture. In 2 Maccabees 12:45, Judas Maccabeus offers prayers for fallen soldiers, stating that it is a “holy and pious thought to pray for the dead, that they may be loosed from sins.” This shows a belief that the dead can be helped by the prayers of the living—a concept central to Purgatory.

    Jesus also hinted at purification after death in Matthew 12:32, saying, “Anyone who speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the age to come.” This suggests that some sins can be forgiven after death, which aligns with the Church’s teaching on Purgatory.

    The Witness of the Early Church Fathers
    The early Christians continued this practice. Tertullian (2nd–3rd century) wrote about praying for the dead and offering the Eucharist on their behalf. He believed such prayers were effective in helping the souls of the departed.

    St. Cyprian of Carthage (3rd century) emphasized the importance of offering sacrifices for the faithful departed during Mass. St. Augustine openly declared in the 4th century: “It is not to be doubted that the souls of the dead are aided by the prayers of the holy Church.”

    These saints didn’t see death as a full stop, but as a journey toward perfection, where the soul could be cleansed to enter the full presence of God.

    Why Does Purgatory Matter?
    The doctrine of Purgatory doesn’t undermine the forgiveness won by Jesus—it affirms God’s mercy and justice. Those who die in a state of grace but still need purification of lesser sins are lovingly prepared for heaven. Purgatory is not a punishment—it is a gift of God’s purifying love.

    Belief in Purgatory reminds us of our connection to the souls of the faithful departed, and calls us to pray for them, just as the early Christians did.

    Purgatory is not new—it’s part of the ancient faith of our Church.

  • A narcissist wants you to forgive and forget, to move on, and to let it go, so they can escape accountability and apologies, and keep treating you in the same manner. They don't want to do the work it takes to change their rude, hurtful, negative, controlling, bullying, or manipulative behaviors. They want to blame you, sweep it under the rug, and pretend the conflict never happened. They want to police your emotions and feelings, have power and control, be right, micromanage everyone around them, and feel superior. Acting like a mature, healthy adult, introspecting, self-reflecting, and taking accountability for how they treated you are not things they are capable of.

    To a narcissist, your pain is an inconvenience, your boundaries are a threat, and your voice is something to silence. They aren't interested in building healthy relationships; they’re focused on maintaining dominance and image. When you try to address issues, they gaslight, deflect, or minimize your experience. They might offer hollow apologies, not out of remorse, but as a tactic to reset the cycle and regain control. Forgiveness, to them, is a license to continue hurting you. Their version of "moving on" is erasure—erasing your truth, your wounds, and your right to heal.

    Healing from narcissistic abuse means resisting their narrative. It means holding onto your truth, your emotions, and your right to closure, even when they deny it. It means refusing to normalize disrespect just to keep the peace. Don’t let them convince you that your standards are the problem. You’re not too sensitive, too emotional, or too difficult. You’re a human being deserving of respect, safety, and authentic connection. Narcissists will never admit fault, because doing so would shatter the illusion they cling to. But you don’t need their validation to stand firm in your reality.

  • 16 BEST GIFTS YOU CAN GIVE TO YOUR CHILDREN


    By focusing on these areas, you can create a supportive and loving home environment that fosters your child's overall development and well-being.

    1. **A Good Home**
    One of the best gifts you can give to your children is a good home. Creating a positive environment involves supporting their physical, emotional, and psychological development. Nothing stresses a child more than a home where parents are in turmoil.

    Provide your child with a safe haven.
    Ensure the home is safe and free from hazards, addressing both physical safety (like childproofing) and emotional safety (offering a non-judgmental space for self-expression).

    Parent together as a couple to model teamwork. Children learn by observing, so demonstrate values you want them to adopt, such as honesty, kindness, and responsibility.

    2. **Health and Well-being**
    Ensure your children have access to nutritious food, regular medical check-ups, and opportunities for physical activity.

    Provide a variety of healthy foods, including fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and dairy, and encourage them to drink plenty of water throughout the day. Promote regular physical activities, such as playing outside, participating in sports, or dancing.

    Establish a consistent bedtime routine to help them wind down, ensuring they get enough sleep according to their age (e.g., 8-10 hours for school-aged children). Teach good hygiene practices, such as regular handwashing, brushing teeth twice a day, and bathing regularly.
    Keep their living space clean and organized to promote well-being and prevent illness.

    3. **A Good Community**
    Surround your child with positive influences. Choose friends who are supportive, good role models, and can mentor your child.

    4. **A Good Name**
    Living out a good name for your children means setting a positive example and creating a legacy they can admire and aspire to. Exhibit behaviors such as kindness, patience, and responsibility. Demonstrate honesty, reliability, and strong moral principles through your actions.

    Show respect for others, including your children, family members, and the community. Be known for your positive contributions and interactions within your community. Actively teach your children about the importance of values such as honesty and responsibility. Live honorably so that your child will be proud to call themselves yours.

    5. **Wisdom**
    Demonstrate wisdom in your own life and share your insights and experiences with your children. Encourage open-ended questions, problem-solving, and critical thinking skills. Teach your children about important values and ethics, discussing how to apply them in real-life situations.

    Share life lessons you have learned to help your children avoid the mistakes you made. Provide opportunities for your children to make decisions and take responsibility for their choices. Teach them how to handle and create wealth, socialize, develop emotional intelligence, solve problems, grow spiritually, and take care of their bodies.

    6. **Quality Time**
    Your children need your presence. Spend quality time engaging in activities they enjoy, which strengthens your bond and creates lasting memories. Maintain open lines of communication, encouraging them to express their thoughts and feelings.

    7. **Fond Memories**
    Build strong family bonds by spending quality time together. Family is about shared experiences—focus on creating positive memories for your child.

    8. **Stable Routine**
    Establish a consistent daily routine that includes regular times for meals, homework, chores, and bedtime. This helps children feel secure and develop good habits.

    9. **A Listening Ear**
    Maintain open and honest communication. Listen to your child's concerns, validate their feelings, and provide guidance when needed. You should be the person your child feels comfortable approaching—be approachable and easy to talk to. Many children suffer in silence without support.

    10. **A Good Education**
    Provide your child with access to the best schools you can afford. Foster a love for reading by offering age-appropriate books and reading together.
    Invest in educational materials that promote growth, and if you provide your child with a digital device, guide them towards sites that enhance learning. Make education fun.

    11. **A Vision**
    Support your children's passions and interests, helping them develop a sense of purpose and direction.
    Guide them in forming their vision, understanding their "why." Discuss the importance of education, hard work, and pursuing goals. Don’t just tell them to succeed; help them understand the reasons behind their efforts.

    **12. Patience and Understanding**
    Don’t give up on your child; remember that nurturing takes time. Avoid setting unrealistic expectations or hoping for immediate results. It's important not to pressure your child excessively, as this can lead to feelings of inadequacy or depression.

    **13. Unconditional Love**
    Provide your child with unconditional love, support, and affection. This helps to build their self-esteem and sense of security. Pay attention to their emotional well-being and offer support when needed. Encourage open conversations about feelings, and provide praise and encouragement to boost their confidence. Avoid comparing your child to others.

    **14. Encouragement and Support**
    Support your child's interests and activities, and encourage them to try new things. This approach fosters confidence and resilience. Create a conducive learning environment at home to support their education, nurture curiosity, and assist with homework or projects when necessary. Be your child’s biggest cheerleader. When they experience setbacks, help them to get back up. Take deliberate actions to show your support, such as celebrating their achievements, praising them publicly, being present during significant moments, and affirming their efforts.

    **15. Setting Boundaries**
    Establish clear and fair rules and boundaries that are consistently enforced. This helps children understand expectations and promotes self-discipline.

    **16. Teach Your Children the Way of the Lord**
    Teaching your children about faith and spirituality can be a rewarding experience. Demonstrate your faith through your actions, words, and values. Read and discuss Bible stories with your children, highlighting key lessons and principles. Establish a prayer routine, teaching them how to communicate with God. Attend church services together, participating in worship and community activities. Teach them important biblical values, such as love, kindness, and forgiveness.

    Support your children's spiritual growth by providing opportunities for Bible study, prayer, and service. Lead by example, demonstrating forgiveness and grace in your own life. Surround your children with faith-filled music, books, and conversations. Pray for their spiritual growth and well-being, asking God to guide and bless them.

  • A friend who couldn't graduate in LAUTECH because of 100L Biology Practical wrote this, and I hope it will teach us a lesson.

    "How I Made A Perfect Payback For Lecturer Who Failed Me For 6 Years In The University"

    My first day in the biology laboratory was a dreadful one. During a briefing session a day before we were to have practical during my 100level, We had been told that it is a customary to always put on the ‘laboratory coat’ each and every time we have practicals, hence whosoever without the laboratory coat will be punished.

    I’d no money as at that time to buy laboratory coat, and the first practical came just too soon. I couldn’t borrow as my only friend in the school then was Asiwaju Olalekan Godson Ayodeji.

    Anyway, I knew breaking the rule of not putting a ‘laboratory coat’ was a bad idea but I was young and wrong to take that risk. I had no choice than to enter into the laboratory room to get engaged with my fellow departmental mates.

    Not quite long after I entered the lab, one of the biology lecturer who handled biology practical came around. He spotted few of us without the ‘laboratory coat’ and decided to play a fast track on us, he wanted to get hold of us. I was fortunate to be sitting near the entrance door, so I got away.

    He was able to lay hands on few guys unaware but everyone of us that escaped went into his black book. He called our class rep then, and collected our matric numbers. Printed them and pasted them in his office. It was printed boldly.

    That was how myself and other guys that ran away failed Both the practical and the actual Biology course that year.

    Personally, I sat for the same courses for good 6years; making it 6 different times entirely. On my third year of rewriting, I summoned courage to visit him in his office. I went to see him to plead with him, he didn’t know me, he only knew of my matric number.

    So I’d to take the bull by the horn to explain what had happened. He laughed wickedly and angrily sent me away, I returned the next day.

    He told me, if I return again then it would be very bad and I won’t like it. I left him for a week. I consulted my advisor, Dr. Mrs Adigun. I explained everything to her…

    She told me, I should give him time, and to return to him after sometime. That he may consider my ‘show of repentance’. So I didn’t return for like a month.

    Then one day, I was returning from a friend’s place Osisami Babalola Enitan on Friday after I had gone to play chess, I saw him also returning from the mosque. We both met along the school former fine-art department, just by the way that leads to Alata eatery, Under G.

    I quickly used the opportunity of meeting him just coming from the mosque to plead yet again. He treated me like ‘poo’

    He still went on to fail me even in my 400level. On my final year, I went to him, then I was married. I took my pregnant wife to plead with him. He walked us out and told us never to come again. He promised to report to the school security. So we left.

    He failed me for 5 years consecutively. It was hard for me. I wept for days. I told my parents, and few friends.. It prevented me from going for NYSC with my class 13′ set.

    Then I turned to God. Yes, I was guilty and I deserved punishment but that was too much. I prayed ‘no be small’. So many different phases of life, most times it is always our fault that we find ourselves in difficult situations but immediately we get to seek God for help, he surely always provide us a solution to all of our problems. I seek God’s face and he never fails.

    That biology course was taken away from him and was given to someone else, it was given to another Dr. I can never forget him.

    I registered as a spill-over student, and sat for it, I borrowed 4 other courses to boost my CGPA, I collected my result and my biology 101, 102,104 and 106 were all A(s).

    That was how I got cleared.

    Moving forward, During my service year, after I redeployed from Abia state to Oyo, I was posted to the West Africa examination council. (Waec) Ijokodo, Ibadan.

    Great place with wonderful people. On my great work ethics, being dutiful and so diligent during my service year, I was given the green card and permitted at all time to work during their examination and marking exercise each and every time I so wish. Oluwafemi Martins my great boss, one of the great people I had worked with.

    Coincidentally, I was officially sent to Ogbomoso marking venue as an assistant subject examination officer to partner my Waec daddy

    I was handling Biology and chemistry subjects. For the ones who don’t understand the whole drama during the Waec marking exercise.

    We give out the examination scripts to qualified teachers or graduates with the certification in their specified subjects for marking and recording during a stipulated period of 21/23

    So that day in April, there was a long queue of Examiners waiting to submit their CV. Then this Dr. lecturer that failed me for 5years was on the queue too, I’d spotted him.

    My wonderful Waec daddy was beside me, he asked while I was smiling, I simply told him that something funny will soon happen, and when it was this Dr’s turn, He greeted and called me “sir” (bending his head). I quickly stood up to greet him too.

    But I was so surprised, he didn’t recognize my face. Apparently, he would never have thought and believe and to be possible for the young man in front of him to be me.

    So I pretended as if I had nothing in mind too, I was going through his CV when he started pleading that he really needed my help concerning this marking stuff, he told me he came along with his daughter who is a gate crasher ( these are people who are new to the marking system) and his wife who also had marked for a long time but needed to mark too.

    He told me Ladoke Akintola university of technology had been on strike for over a year and nothing seemed fine, no salary. No money and nothing at all. I should help him.

    At that point I told him to call his wife and daughter. He did. I then asked him; “Sir, Is it truly that you do not recognize my face?”

    He said, “ehn! It’s like this face is familiar o but you know there are many people like that I can’t remember. I can’t really remember where and when I had seen your face”. I told him to try, that I will only help him if he can remember where we had met and when..

    He didn’t remember so I helped him out with my surname, I told him. “This is Akeju, the guy you failed for consecutive 5 years. The guy that brought his pregnant wife to beg you but still, you sent us away”.

    At that point, he was dumbfounded. He left without saying a word. His wife and daughter were confused and everyone on the queue too. His wife asked what the matter was, I told her to go and ask her husband.

    Shortly, His wife and daughter returned. He had explained everything, they knelt down and asked for forgiveness. I smiled and asked them to tell him to come back. He had gone home. In the evening he did return.

    He asked for forgiveness, and I did forgave him. More than he had asked for, I granted him all of his requests. We were not permitted to give more than a packet packed of scripts but I gave him more than one. Just for him to make more money. He wept uncontrollably.
    “ Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you”. I only know of the way of doing good even unto them that do me evil.

    Till I left ogbomoso, he was always calling because I had put enough food on his table and not only him, but also for his family during that difficult period they were going through. It’s left to him, if he will change or not. Our tomorrow isn’t promised. Whatever position you find yourself, use it wisely.

    Hope Someone Learnt From This.
