BEFORE YOU CRITICISE…

We finished a major meeting some years ago and we had an appraisal meeting of the planning team. In the meeting, a team member began to fire on all cylinders about what went wrong. When he was done, I asked him, “Did anything go right at all?” He said, “Yes! But so and so was not rightly done”. I said […]

WHEN IT IS GOOD BUT YOU HAVE TO SAY “NO”

A dear couple friend of mine reached out to me a few months into the work of ministry in Eruwa and informed me that they would be sending the tithe of either the husband or the wife to the ministry in Eruwa. I was overjoyed and very excited about it. I said a word of prayer for them. At night […]

LORD, GIVE ME A HEART LIKE THIS…!

My daughter walked out to meet me. I was still concerned that she did not have her slippers on and told her not to step on the ground. The next thing I heard was, “Daddy, I am sorry. I did not intend to break it. I did not know it was there when I stepped on it”. She held on […]

THE BLESSING OF PRESSURE

I was heading to take a shower when I spotted a gecko in the bathtub. It was struggling to come out. I knew I got it in a good kill zone. I went to look for a broom. I gave it the first hit and it began to scamper around the tub. It kept trying to get out of the […]

THE BLESSING OF KNOWING YOUR TEACHERS EARLY

When I was heading for National Service in Akwa-Ibom State, I got connected to a family friend that I had not seen in years. I told him I would call once I get to Akwa-Ibom. When I landed in Akwa-Ibom, I boarded a taxi to camp. I called him from the taxi. Guess what! He was on the same flight […]

YOU HAVE A GREATER APPOINTMENT

I was driving that evening through some of the interesting areas of the city to catch up with an appointment with my spiritual father. The GPS already told me it will take me about an hour to get to him. Just some minutes into the trip, a tricycle rider decided to be naughty and squeeze himself into a tiny space […]

DO NOT BE UNAWARE

A dear friend and brother asked me about a very challenging issue. I gave him a response that, “Sir, I know why I must never get offended on this matter sir. I am fighting for a generation and I must be aware of that all the time”. A young man wanted to quit a program where he was learning because […]

THE WHITEBOARD AND THE NYLON COVER

We got a new marker board for presentations, office meetings and training. But we realised that it was hard to clean once we wrote on it. We would need to put some spirit and then clean. I kept wondering it should not be like that. One day, I noticed that there was a tiny nylon cover all over the board. […]

THE LOAD OF SAND WE DID NOT ORDER

We went to the church site and met a truckload of sand on the site. We kept wondering who delivered sand to the site. We heard the story later: A truck driver had an order to deliver a particular type of sand to a building site but he loaded the wrong type. He realised it was the wrong sand at […]

HANDLING EMOTIONS ON THE JOURNEY TO DESTINY

My Grandfather in the faith shared a powerful lesson with us once: A dear friend of his visited him regularly in his city. Anytime he comes, they would jointly visit a senior minister of the gospel. After a while, they both noticed that when they visit this minister, they always return discouraged. They never discussed it. One day, as they […]
