THE DAY DADDY SPOKE FOR ME

It was my first few months in ministry, my Grandfather was visiting with us in Eruwa. He looked at my Dad and said, “I still don’t understand what Anuoluwapo is doing. Couldn’t he have combined whatever it is without leaving legal practice?” I honestly did not have an answer until Daddy said to Grandpa, “If I have a chance to […]

I KNOW I AM MEANT TO SERVE GOD

After sharing the gospel with him that evening (not for the first time), he told me that he knows that he would still serve the Lord. He told me a story: Back in his primary school days, he had unique experiences. His teachers called him pastor. If anyone was sick in school, before they send the person to the sickbay, […]

YOU MUST PAY THE PRICE

About three months into pastoring work in Eruwa, a friend told me about an opportunity to travel out for some weeks under a youth leadership programme. I asked my friend a question, “Church is just starting. If I travel out now, who will pastor the church? What will happen to this assignment?” I looked unserious because I did not go […]

PURITY IS A WEAPON OF WAR

There was a day that a friend and I fought in the secondary school. I knew I could not physically defeat him but I had a sharp mouth. I eventually abused him with something so painful that he went home to tell his mum what I said. His mum paid our home a visit. She said, “Even if you wanted […]

I SAW THE WOOD BUT NOT HIM

We had to get some renovation work done in the ministry office. We called the carpenter to do some work. On one of the days, I stepped out of the office and I saw the planks. I said, “Oh, the carpenter is here”. The shocking part is at the close of work that evening, the planks were still there but […]

GIVE DADDY SOMETHING TO REJOICE OVER

I laid on the floor beside Olive as she made attempts to climb me. Just then, she moved away and began to crawl faster than I had ever seen her crawl in the direction of an attractive object. I called Irewamiri in excitement. I wanted her to see Olive crawling with ease and speed. At that point, the Holy Spirit […]

WHAT YOU DO WHEN YOU THOUGHT YOU WERE RIGHT BUT YOU GOT IT WRONG

A dear teacher called me up and told me what he perceived was the will of God about a situation. Some months later, he called to tell me that he was sorry that he was selfish and got it wrong. I learnt a major lesson that day: Do not sacrifice the leading of God and fellowship with the Holy Spirit […]

E-Caution: Of Emotional Pressures and the Wrong Hands

Some years back, it was a season of intense pressure. I kept wondering if I was even making any sense. I had just spent the last two hours singing and crying. It was a trip of tears. I cried as I drove. Upon arrival at my base, the first person I saw was a young lady. As I greeted her […]

E-CAUTIONS: Of Tears, Emotions and The Wisdom of God

Some years back, I was visiting with someone I was just getting to know. That evening something happened. She got a call and I knew something was wrong. I picked from the tone of the call that it was a man-friend. Once she dropped the call, she said to me, “Pastor, it is because you are here o. I would […]

THE WEIGHT OF MISTAKES

A dear father who is active in missions and church planting in unreached terrains shared a story that has not left my mind. It happened in one of the villages where he went to plant a church. While he was preaching one evening with the help of an interpreter, a lady in the audience who could not control herself any […]
