A “suicide mission” isn’t always about taking one’s life physically. It can also mean rushing into actions, relationships, or decisions that knowingly destroy your future, peace, or purpose. Suicide missions come in many forms * Giving up completely * Chasing revenge at the cost of your soul * Sabotaging your own opportunities * Making reckless choices out of pain. Be careful by slowing down when emotions run high. Surrounding yourself with wise counsel and remembering that God always provides a way of escape from temptation and despair. Always pray before you act. HAPPY HOLY MICHAEL DAY Asiwaju Cares.

When you root your worth in people’s opinions, insecurity grows. But when you root your identity in God, confidence is unshakeable. As you are chosen. You are equipped, walk boldly, lead with character, and love with strength. Show up as the man God created you…
