TODAY'S TIP: IN THIS TOGETHER

DEAR TOPPER,
If you are new here, a "Topper" is anyone who puts God first in everything they do. Welcome to the crew! Please share and tag a friend who needs to see this today. 📲

We have become a generation that is terrifyingly quick to delete, block, and throw away good relationships at the very first sign of friction. We mistake our chronic impatience for high standards, walking away from people who actually care about us because we have been conditioned to believe that everything—including human connection—should be as instant and disposable as a digital subscription.

But if you look at the way God loves, it is a masterclass in radical patience. In Ezekiel, we are given a breathtaking, highly emotional narrative where God describes Israel as an abandoned baby girl, left to die in an open field, wallowing in her own blood. God passes by, cleans her up, nurses her into adulthood, and wraps her in royal luxury. Yet, when she grows up, she uses the very beauty God gave her to play the harlot, running after empty illusions and betraying His trust. Any ordinary human lover would have walked away, filed for divorce, and vowed never to look back. But God does the unthinkable: He promises to remember His ancient covenant, to forgive her completely, and to love her anyway.

Our human relationships are breaking down because we lack this divine stamina. Recent global pastoral data reveals a sobering statistic: nearly twenty-five percent of Catholic marriages now end in formal separation, with researchers pointing to financial stress and a mutual intolerance for each other's flaws as the primary culprits. We want the fairytale without the labour; we want the partnership without the sacrifice. In Matthew’s gospel, when the Pharisees tried to trap Jesus with transactional questions about divorce, He pointed them right back to the beginning, reminding them that marriage isn't a temporary contract you tear up when the vibes change, but a sacred, indissoluble bond where two become one flesh.

The truth is that our relationships with ourselves, with others, and with God can only grow richer and deeper when we finally understand how recklessly God loves us. When you realize you don't have to hustle or perform to be valued by heaven, you stop demanding perfection from the flawed people around you. God’s grace becomes the steady foundation for how you love, forgive, and serve others. You stop treating relationships like a business transaction where you only give to get. Instead, you become satisfied to love purely for the salvation of your soul and the good of your neighbour, knowing that true love always looks like a cross before it looks like a crown.

Today, let us break out of our transactional mindsets. Your call to action is to do something genuinely kind for someone who has absolutely no capacity to repay you. Pay for a stranger's transport fare, spend time listening to an elderly relative who repeats the same stories, or help a classmate who is struggling without expecting a favour in return.

Let us Pray
Lord, your love is patient, your mercy is enduring, and you never give up on us even when we turn away. Grant us the grace to love others with that same unyielding fidelity. Heal our broken relationships, cure our impatience, and teach us to serve those around us with a pure and generous heart. Amen. St Maximillian Kolbe, pray for us.

Readings: Ezekiel 16:1-15,60,63, Isaiah 12, Matthew 19:3-12

TODAY'S TIP: FORGIVING IS HARD O!

DEAR TOPPER,
If you are new here, a "Topper" is anyone who puts God first in everything they do. Welcome to the crew! Please share and tag a friend who needs to see this today. 📲

Forgiveness is exactly like trying to prepare a proper, authentic pot of Ofe Akwu or a perfectly balanced native Jollof from scratch. It is a long, tedious, and incredibly demanding process. You cannot rush it, you cannot cut corners, and if your heart isn't completely in it, the whole thing will end up tasting burnt, bitter, and entirely unpalatable. It requires you to sit in the heat, watch your fingers get stained, and stomach the discomfort before you can ever taste any semblance of peace.

Let's be completely honest with ourselves: when someone does you dirty —whether it’s a close friend backbiting you in a WhatsApp group or a spouse cheating on your trust— your immediate Nigerian instinct is to enter gbege mode. You want to change it for them, map out their character development, and block them on every platform. But the scriptures pull us back by our collars. In Ezekiel, we see the prophet packing his bags in broad daylight, acting out the painful reality of exile because the people stubbornly refused to listen to God. Yet, despite their constant rebellion, God kept sending warnings instead of total destruction. We are bound to forgive, not because the person who hurt us deserves it, or because what they did was okay, but simply because we ourselves are heavy, daily recipients of a mercy we did not earn.

Clinging to an offense doesn't punish the offender; it slowly poisons you. Medical and psychological data consistently expose the heavy toll of holding a grudge, linking an unwillingness to forgive to a frightening range of chronic health issues—including dangerously elevated blood pressure, severe sleep disturbances, weakened immune systems, and clinical depression. You think you are keeping malice to protect your pride, but you are actually allowing bitterness to eat away at your physical well-being.

Peter approached Jesus, probably feeling quite generous, and asked if forgiving someone seven times was enough. Jesus looked at him, smiled at his small math, and dropped a bomb: "Not seven times, but seventy-seven times." In scriptural theology, this means infinity. Jesus was making it clear that we cannot pull up a chair to His table, feed on His grace, and call ourselves His true disciples while actively warehousing resentment in our hearts. St. Augustine famously reminded the early Church "If you are suffering from a bad man's injustice, forgive him—lest there be two bad men."

Today, start the hard work in your spiritual kitchen. Think of that one person whose name makes your stomach turn, and consciously hand them over to God. Forgive them. But remember, forgiveness does not mean you become a mumu. Give yourself actual time to heal, set healthy boundaries, and protect your space by avoiding toxic environments that expose you to unnecessary, repetitive hurt.

Let us Pray
Lord, you are a merciful Father, even when we rebel and turn away from your laws. Grant us the supernatural grace to forgive those who have deeply wounded us. Strip away the bitterness that weights our souls down, heal our hearts from the inside out, and teach us to walk in the freedom of your boundless love. Amen.

TODAY'S TIP: PEOPLE FOR GOD

DEAR TOPPER,
If you are new here, a "Topper" is anyone who puts God first in everything they do. Welcome to the crew! Please share and tag a friend who needs to see this today. 📲

We love to chest out and claim we are the people of God. But let’s be completely honest with ourselves in the quiet moments: Are we actually a people for God? If you read Ezekiel’s prophecy, it feels like a scene straight out of a horror movie or a tense political thriller. God sends six executioners with deadly weapons to wipe out everyone who doesn’t have the protective mark on their forehead. And the scariest part? The slaughter starts right inside the sanctuary, at the Temple. Then, the Kabod—the heavy, radiant, undeniable glory of God—slowly rises and leaves the building behind. The early Church Fathers literally wept over this. They warned us plainly: God doesn't play ojuju games. He will not stay in physical structures that have been ruined by our systemic sin and unbothered corruption.

So, where did that glory go?

Jesus drops the ultimate plot twist: “Where two or three are gathered in my name, I am there in their midst.” God officially shifted His address. He moved from blocks of cement to flesh and blood. He now lives inside the mind, soul, and body of every baptized Christian. But let’s look in the mirror—this makes our casual hypocrisy a complete sham. When we gather in our universities, offices, relationships, or WhatsApp groups, what actually defines us? Is it gossip? Tearing each other down? Fraud? Deep malice? If so, we are misrepresenting the Brand. We give the outside world the perfect excuse to look at us, hiss, and say, “Is this your Christianity?”

Worse, the way we handle conflict is actively scattering the flock. Data shows a heartbreaking reality: nearly 70% of young people who step away from the Church don’t leave because of church doctrines. They leave because of bad character development—deep personal hurts, a total lack of empathy, and zero healthy reconciliation in the community. When someone is down, instead of lifting them up, we judge them. We talk about them behind their backs or give them the cold shoulder until they silently drop out of the space entirely.

To bring them back, we need to master the art of the sacred reach-back. It starts with everyone—both the clergy and the people in the pews—checking their egos at the church gate. St. John Chrysostom said it best: the Church is a hospital for sinners, not a courtroom for saints. If someone stops showing up to Mass, don’t wait until they completely isolate themselves. Send a text. Make sure it doesn't sound preachy. Just listen to their hurts without trying to win an argument. Moving forward, we have to build zero-tolerance spaces for toxicity within our religious societies.

Listen, you need to remember who you are. Stop moving like a spiritual orphan! You carry a heavy anointing from your Baptism and Confirmation. You are already validated by heaven, so walk like the royalty you are. Dress with dignity, speak with grace, and stop chasing juju disguised as prophecies, trend-driven superstitions, or quick-wealth hacks. Let anyone who steps into your life experience pure joy, love, and a peace that makes them want to know your God. Your faith is too precious to waste on performative religious vibes.

Let us Pray
Lord, your name is excellent in all the earth, and you are exalted far above the heavens. Forgive us for the times our actions have driven people away from your sanctuary. Grant our clergy and lay faithful the humility to seek true reconciliation, and make our hearts living temples where your Kabod glory delights to rest forever. Amen.

Readings: Ezekiel 9:1-7,10:18-22, Psalm 113:1-6, Matthew 18:15-20

TODAY'S TIP: MAY I HAVE YOUR ATTENTION?

DEAR TOPPER,
If you are new here, a "Topper" is anyone who puts God first in everything they do. Welcome to the crew! Please share and tag a friend who needs to see this today. 📲

We have all met that one person who feels less like a friend and more like a leak in our emotional fuel tank. You cannot say “no” to them without a heavy, suffocating blanket of guilt settling over your chest. It is an exhausting way to live, because a one-sided relationship is merely a taut string waiting for the inevitable, sharp snap.

When you finally decide to walk away from these lopsided dynamics, you gain something beautiful: room to breathe. By refusing to let your energy be mined by people who only take, you inherit the clarity to see who truly values you. Statistics on modern relationships show that emotional exhaustion is a leading cause of breakups, yet we so often settle for less, pouring our sacred energy into spaces that leave us completely empty.

We do this when we scroll mindlessly through social media feeds for hours, chasing a fleeting hit of validation, or when we drain our savings to buy things we do not need just to fit into a circle that does not care about us. These are our modern-day broken cisterns—cracked vessels we build with our own hands, hoping they will hold peace, only to watch our joy leak right through the bottom.

Here is the quiet, devastating truth: we treat God exactly like one of these fragile substitutes. In the book of Jeremiah, God speaks with a tender, aching nostalgia, remembering the devotion of our youth when we followed Him wholeheartedly, like a bride walks beside her groom. He brought us into a plentiful, beautiful land to enjoy its goodness, but we turned around and defiled it. Even the people we expect to guide us—the leaders who handle the law—no longer truly know Him. We have committed a strange double folly: we have forsaken the Fountain of Living Waters just to dig out those dry, broken cisterns.

Yet, as the Psalmist beautifully reminds us, His steadfast love still extends to the heavens. With Him alone is the fountain of life, and in His light, we finally see clearly. True liberation begins when we stop treating God like an emergency exit or a trending WhatsApp status gimmick. Jesus made it clear that the deep secrets of the Kingdom are given only to those who actually lean in to listen. To those who look but never see, everything remains a riddle; but your eyes are blessed because they see, and your ears because they hear.

Choose to stay. Commit to leaving your phone in another room for the first 15 minutes of every morning, using that unbroken silence to sit quietly with the Fountain of Living Water before the world demands your attention.

Let us Pray
Lord, continue Your steadfast love to those who know You. Turn my eyes away from empty, broken cisterns, and give me the strength to trade my morning screen time for Your presence. Grant me the discipline to give You the first moments of each day, so I may drink from the river of Your delights and anchor my heart entirely in You. Amen.

TODAY'S TIP: FROM MESS TO MESSAGE

DEAR TOPPER,
If you are new here, a "Topper" is anyone who puts God first in everything they do. Welcome to the crew! Please share and tag a friend who needs to see this today. 📲

Have you ever been completely, recklessly in love?
Last weekend, ten Dominican friars were ordained as priests, and eight others became deacons. When their pictures hit social media, a comment caught my eye: “How you take fine finish come say you wan be fada? Think about your decision mehn.” In plain terms, this person found it wasteful for a handsome young man to choose the priesthood. It makes you smile, but it also makes you think about how the world completely misunderstands a heart that has found its anchor.

Our generation is obsessed with metrics, yet we are starving for meaning. A recent global survey on youth culture revealed that over 60% of young adults report feeling a deep, persistent sense of loneliness, despite being more digitally connected than any generation in human history. We chase validation in comment sections, yet the soul remains restless. We are like the bride in the Song of Songs, wandering the night streets, asking, "Have you seen the one my heart loves?"

True love is not a soft sentiment; it is a fierce, disruptive force. Look at Mary Magdalene in the garden on Easter morning. She was a woman intimately acquainted with brokenness, yet her love made her brave enough to stand by an empty grave when everyone else ran away. When she recognized the resurrected Christ, her posture shifted instantly from grieving a mess to carrying a message. Her longing echoes the Psalmist's cry: "My soul clings to you; your right hand upholds me."

"Love does not diminish your beauty; it gives it a destination."

Those handsome young men did not throw their lives away. They simply refused to settle for superficial affection. Love has its origin and its ultimate fulfillment in God. Whether that love calls you to the altar of marriage, the consecrated life, a career of service, or the priesthood, it is meant to refine you. It takes the fragmented pieces of your story and turns you from a mess into a messenger. Anything less is just chasing the wind.

Where is love leading you today? Do not be afraid of a love that demands your whole self. May Saint Mary Magdalene, whom the Church honours today as the patroness saint of penitent sinners, women, and hairdressers, intercede for us that we may be disposed to experience true love.

Let us Pray
Eternal Father, in sending us Your only-begotten Son, have revealed the depth of Your love for us. Help us to experience this love and so long for You that all our relationships, thoughts, words and actions become a message which lead us deeper into a life of love and peace in You. Amen.

💬 Let’s Talk in the Comments!
The world often tells us that giving our best years, our talents, or our "good looks" to God is a waste. Have you ever felt misunderstood by friends or family for making a choice rooted in your faith? Where do you feel love is leading you in this season of your life? Let's chat below!

TODAY'S TIP: THE FREEDOM OF YES

DEAR TOPPER,
If you are new here, a "Topper" is anyone who puts God first in everything they do. Welcome to the crew! Please share and tag a friend who needs to see this today. 📲

I grew up in Kaduna, a melting pot of different cultures and beliefs, listening to stories about what it means to belong to something larger than yourself. Today, we live in a world that sells us a very loud, very glossy version of freedom. It tells us that to be free is to be entirely independent, to answer to nobody, and to rebel just for the sake of it.

But there is a quiet, heavy truth we often miss: that kind of false freedom is exhausting. It leaves an ache, a hollow space inside you that no amount of digital noise can fill. It isolates us. Real freedom —the kind that settles deep in your bones like the comforting warmth of a harmattan fire—comes from aligning yourself with the design of your Maker.

In the Gospel of Matthew, Jesus does something quite revolutionary amidst the dust and pressing crowds. When told His mother and brothers are waiting outside in the heat, He points to the ordinary people sitting at His feet, smelling of sweat and honest daily labour, and says, “Here are my mother and my brothers.” In that single moment, He rewrites the rules of identity. He tells us that pleasing God is not about rigid, stone-cold rituals or legalistic perfection. It is about a radical, everyday intimacy. It is about choosing to see and serve the divine spark inside the person standing right next to you—even when they irritate you.

Think of the Blessed Virgin Mary. When she received God’s daunting, world-altering invitation, her response was not whispered in fear. “Let it be done to me according to your word.” It was a fierce, courageous act of a young woman claiming her purpose, her voice steady despite the weight of the unknown. She showed us that the happiest people on earth are not those who merely accumulate things, hoarding blessings like dry grain, but those who pour out their gifts in charity and respect.

The prophet Micah reminds us that we serve a God who does not nurse His anger, but delights in showing mercy, hurling our heaviest mistakes into the crushing depths of the sea. Psalm 85 promises that His near presence brings a peace so thick you can almost taste it. When we love without reserve, we invite that peace into our daily chaos. We show a fractured world what God actually looks like. Turn away from the loud, empty rebellions that leave you feeling hollow. Choose the radical joy of keeping His word, and let His love anchor you.

Let us Pray
Eternal Father, it is your desire that we do Your will and find lasting happiness and peace. Destroy every spirit of rebellion and false freedom by which the evil one wants to sn**ch us from you. May the Blessed Virgin Mary intercede for us, that with a sincere heart, we may live in a spirit of humility and service. Amen.

TODAY'S TIP: GIVEN IN TRUST

DEAR TOPPER,

If you are new here, a "Topper" is anyone who puts God first in everything they do. Welcome to the crew! Please share and tag a friend who needs to see this today . 📲

Before the first perfect pot of party jollof rice was ever stirred into existence, it lived as a sharp, fragrant idea in someone’s mind. It required a vision of the final deep orange hue before the firewood was even lit. That is how journeys work. You do not just step onto the Express Road and hope for the best; you choose your destination before you hail the ride. Our time on this earth is exactly like that—a brief, vibrant road trip heading toward a heavenly home.

In The Purpose Driven Life, Rick Warren reminds us that this life is a test of character, a temporary assignment, and a trust. Think of it as God managing His premium assets through you. When we forget this destination, we lose our bearing. We get lost in the superficial glare of things that do not matter—chasing likes, hustling for a massive salary, and stacking up worldly accolades. Yet, none of these things can quiet that persistent hunger inside us for real peace. To find true fulfillment, we have to look far beyond a monthly alert. We must use our time, our energy, and our raw talents to unlock a meaningful future, intentionally paving a way so that those walking behind us can see the trail and find God too.

I know how this sounds. It feels like an exhausting amount of work. But there is a heavy, quiet sadness in realizing you have lived a wasted life —chasing only your own vanity and missing the entire point of being here. The real tragedy of life is that so many people wait until the twilight of their lives to discover this. They spend decades distracting themselves from their true calling, only to realize they have walked much too far in the wrong direction, ending up with nothing but emptiness. Let that not be you. Let everything you have, and everything you are, point you directly toward God. Too many of us only call on Him when the chips are down, treating Him like a roadside mechanic who only exists to fix our broken cars, or a waiter waiting to serve our favorite dish.

He is so much more than a spiritual emergency contact. He is the Lord of your life, inviting you into a deep, unshakeable relationship. He does not exist just to perform magic tricks, give you superficial signs, or act as a quick fix for your doubts. Like the ancient prophet Micah beautifully summarized, God does not ask for impossible, dramatic sacrifices. He simply asks us to do justice, to love kindness, and to walk humbly with Him. He wants you to immerse yourself completely in Him, to shed your old anxieties and step into a completely new identity where your thoughts, your words, and your daily moves are beautifully aligned with His will.

Let Us Pray
Lord, forgive us for the times we treat You like a transaction instead of a relationship. Take our time, our talents, and our treasures, and teach us to hold them as a sacred trust. Guard us against the distractions that lead to emptiness. Guide our steps on this temporary journey, keep our eyes fixed on our heavenly home, and let everything we are point back to You. Amen.

Reflections For Monday
[Micah 6:1-4/6-8]

God interrogates the people of Israel and laments over their persistent intransigence despite His unfailing show of immense love for them.

He went on to prescribe what they should do to reciprocate His kind gesture: they should do justice, love mercy and walk humbly with their God.

Many at times, as humans we always feel that the Lord requires of our material benefits unto Him but No.

He mainly requires relationship with Us, amending our reconciliation with Him, nothing makes Him more pleased.

{Gospel Reading}
[Matthew 12:38-42]

Like the Israel of old, the scribes and Pharisees demand a sign from Jesus because of their incredulity.

The only sign that Jesus offers is the sign of Jonah.

It is the sign of courage in preaching the Truth, which without the backup of any miracle, was still able to achieve great results in terms of the conversion of the people of Nineveh.

Jesus teaching too, filled with Power and Authority behind it, can achieve a far reaching effect on His listeners who are disposed to the values of the kingdom.

[PRAYER]

Heavenly Father!

Your magnanimity is never in doubt, always showcasing Your Love and good intentions for All.

Help to bring us up to speed in this regard, to measure with Your good thoughts for us and align alongside, that We do not just seek for a sign but become more willing for its Demands, through Christ our Lord...

{Amen🙏}

TODAY'S TIP: STAND IN CONFIDENCE

DEAR TOPPER,
If you are new here, a "Topper" is anyone who puts God first in everything they do. Welcome to the crew! Please share and tag a friend who needs to see this today. 📲

There are some prayers that make you stop and look out the window, the kind that carry the weight of heavy afternoon rain in Lagos. King Hezekiah’s prayer is exactly that.

Picture him: facing a terminal illness, wrapped in the dual suffocating blankets of physical pain and deep depression. Then Isaiah walks in and tells him to pack up his life. His time is up. What Hezekiah does next is an act of quiet, bruising courage. He turns his face to the wall and weeps honest, unvarnished tears.

But it is his choice of words that makes the heart pause: ‘Ah, Lord, remember, I beg you, how I have behaved faithfully and with sincerity of heart in your presence and done what is right in your eyes.’

This was not the boastful arrogance of a man trying to bargain with God. This was the deep, grounded confidence of someone who knew exactly who he was in the dark. He was laying down his character like a clean, woven mat, saying: I did not cheat on this relationship. I spoke truth. I chose modesty over vanity, and generosity over greed. I consulted You before I took a step.

Too often, we live in the blurry spaces between compromise and convenience. We claim ignorance, but ignorance is no excuse. If you do not know, ask questions. If you are confused, ask for directions. Otherwise, when others see you going astray and living recklessly, they will presume you are a child of God who has simply chosen to remain obstinate in sin.

We must outgrow this casual relationship with wrongdoing. In Matthew’s Gospel, when the Pharisees criticized the disciples for picking grain on the Sabbath, Jesus corrected their rigid legalism: “If you had known what this means, 'I desire mercy, not sacrifice,' you would not have condemned these innocent men.”

God is not legalistic. He is not setting traps for you. He wants you to grow to a point where you see absolutely no profit in sin, but every advantage in holiness. Hezekiah reminds us that it is possible to live a life so deliberate that when crisis hits, you do not scramble for excuses. You simply stand in the quiet confidence of the truth. Let your actions today be a witness, so that everyone who sees you will give glory to God.

Let us Pray
Eternal Father, teach me to love you as a way of honouring our relationship, and not out of fear or pride. Give me a deep awareness of my dignity before You, and show me how my actions each day can bring others closer to You. Amen.

3 Challenges for Today
Put this reflection into practice right now with these three steps:
• The "Behind Closed Doors" Check: Take five minutes of quiet time to write down three values you stand for when no one is watching you.
• The Mercy Over Rule Call: Forgive someone today who broke a minor rule or annoyed you, choosing understanding over starting an argument.
• The Sincerity Audit: Look at your last few text messages and ask yourself if your words were completely honest or just convenient.

Readings: Isaiah 38:1-6,21-22,7-8, Isaiah 38:10-12,16, Matthew 12:1-8

Reflections For Friday
[Isaiah. 38:1-6/7-8/21-22]

When Hezekiah took ill and was dying, he prayed fervently for Divine Intervention and his prayers were answered, for the Lord saw his tears & his heart.

The Lord heard his cry and healed him of his terminal illness; and he went and lived on for another fifteen years.

The Lord further promised him and his subjects guidance and protection against their enemies.

This demonstrates the Power of Prayer and intercession in the life of every Believer.

Through prayer and meditation, Christians are enlightened and given the Wisdom to understand the teaching of Jesus and how to apply it in the crucial circumstances of life.

{Gospel Reading}
[Matthew 12:1-8]

Jesus asserts His Authority over 'man-made' laws and customs and rules, in search of creating some form of standard.

There is a law higher than all laws, Who is Jesus Himself, because all laws are answerable to Him, and Him alone.

Whatever may be the law or the custom in a place, it must have a human face to it, for the Son of Man is Lord of the sabbath.

clock it!

[PRAYER]

Christ Jesus!
You hung upon a cross and died for us, so that we might live for You.

Your body was broken and Your blood shed, so that we might be healed and made whole.

You were Faithful unto death, so that we might be Faithful unto Life.

In Your death, may we find life in the name of Jesus...

Amen(🙏)
