Here are important safety tips for the Ember period — the last four months of the year (September to December) — when activities, travel, and spending usually increase, leading to higher risks of accidents, crime, and carelessness.
1. Be Spiritually Alert
Pray more, fast, and cover yourself and your loved ones with the blood of Jesus.
Avoid fear; trust in God’s protection.
Attend fellowship regularly and live righteously — evil thrives when people drop their guard
2. Travel Safely
Avoid night journeys; most road accidents happen at night.
Ensure your vehicle is in good condition — check tyres, brakes, lights, and engine oil.
Don’t over-speed or overload.
Inform someone about your travel route and arrival time.
3. Secure Your Home and Property
Lock all doors and windows before leaving or sleeping.
Don’t leave valuables in open view.
Install lights and alarms if possible.
Be careful who you allow into your home — many thefts happen through familiar faces.
4. Be Financially Wise
Avoid reckless spending or borrowing during festive seasons.
Beware of fake investment schemes and online scams.
Use ATM machines in secure places and avoid carrying large cash.
Save and plan ahead instead of spending impulsively.
5. Stay Security Conscious
Avoid moving with strangers or entering unregistered vehicles.
Don’t share travel plans or large purchases online.
Report suspicious movements to security agencies.
Stay alert in crowded areas like markets, parks, and events.
6. Fire Safety
Turn off electrical appliances when not in use.
Avoid overloading sockets or leaving candles unattended.
Keep a fire extinguisher at home or office.
Be cautious when cooking, especially during festive preparations.
7. Health and Hygiene
Don’t overeat or drink excessively at parties.
Stay hydrated and rest properly despite busy schedules.
Observe proper hygiene — Ember period often overlaps with flu season.
Visit the hospital if you feel unwell.
8. Show Love, Not Competition
Don’t compare yourself with others; avoid “show-off” spending.
Focus on gratitude and peace of mind.
Spend quality time with family and share with the needy.
