DON’T COLOUR IT!

Couple of years ago, I was teaching in church. I gave an illustration about women. A young man said, “They are all like that”. I used him as a teaching prop by asking, “Does that include your mum and sister?” He said, “No”. He definitely got the lesson and I went on teaching. The next morning when I wanted to […]

THE LOVELY GOWN SHE COULD NOT WEAR

I spotted the lovely beaded gown in our wardrobe. Then I realised that my wife had not worn it before. I definitely knew it would look amazing on her. Then I asked why she had not worn it yet. Her response is instructive- “My dear, I cannot wear it as long as I am still breast-feeding Olive”. Friends, there are […]

YOUR MEAL DETERMINES YOUR TABLE

It was lunch time during the conference. I strolled in the company of another pastor into the dining hall. The tables were set but the meals were different. Whatever meal you choose determines the table where you will sit. If you wanted rice, you will have to sit at a different table from your friend who wanted pounded yam. The […]

WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH THE IMPARTATION?

I was in a meeting a while ago when the Lord reminded me of something that happened about 4 years earlier: I had an appointment with my spiritual father. I just wanted to drop a gift in his office a day earlier when he told me to come back the next day. God had a plan. The next morning, I […]

WHAT IS YOUR MOTIVE?

I kept to it for a while but I began to give excuses. The reason was simple- my motive as a […]

“THAT IS NOT THE TEMI THAT I KNOW”

Years back, an elderly one met one of the young ladies that I would normally relate with and asked her, “Are you not visiting Pastor’s house?” (A reference to my parents’ home). She responded that there was no one around among the children. Then he informed her that I was already back from school. Her response is unforgettable. She said, […]

OF PHOTOGRAPHERS AND PARTY PICTURES

There are many times that I have attended functions and I had to tell commercial photographers not to bother taking pictures. Despite all the caution, there will still be some who took my pictures without asking. They begin to look for me after the event to collect and pay for pictures that I did not give my nod to. At […]

CHRONICLES OF PROCESS 5- WE COULD NOT AFFORD IT

Some few months after our wedding, we were in a supermart and we needed to buy body cream for the family. I had no particular preference but my wife had the one she was using as a single lady. We headed straight to the section that housed what we wanted. When we saw the price, we looked at each other. […]

CHRONICLES OF PROCESS (3) – HIS WEALTH DID NOT CHANGE HER MIND

She had fallen in love with her classmate in the tertiary institution and her parents would have none of it. Her parents were elites and they keep asking, “Who do you say his parents are?”. The poor boy was the son of a farmer in a small village. Her parents had an alternative for her in a young lawyer. She […]
