“I MISS MY FAMILY”

For us as a young couple seven years ago, the evening did not seem to be starting on a great note. Every statement I made got a one-word answer like “fine”, “nothing” and “okay”. The atmosphere was thick. The room seems smaller. For almost two hours, Irewamiri was moody. I did all I could. I prodded and pushed so I […]

“I CAN’T LIE ON THIS FLOOR, MY CLOTHES WILL BE STAINED”

I was at a conference somewhere in the southern part of the country. As we worshipped, I sensed to lie on the floor. The floor of the church was rough but I still did eventually in worship. After the meeting, a man walked up to me and said, “I love the way you worship”. I appreciated him but then he […]

“I AM HURT I DID NOT GROW UP WITH MY PARENTS”

I was teaching in church one evening when I had a significant digression and I said, “Let me talk to some of you who did not grow up with your parents. You were used in an uncle’s house as a slave. You were the one who cleaned up the mess everyone made. You saw things that you have not recovered […]

HOW NOT TO KILL YOURSELF

I followed my pastor to a church for a Stewards’ Vigil at another church some years ago. My Pastor preached like fire. Till now some of the statements he made still ring out loud in my head: “God is not in the business of maintenance. He keeps making things better. If you cannot make it better. Quit”. He was challenging […]

DO NOT JOKE WITH EXAMPLES

The Lord led my wife and I to give a particular gift to someone. Some days after he came to me and said, “Pastor, about two years ago, you were preaching and you said, ‘For instance, I am giving (I mentioned his name) a (I mentioned the gift)”. He then added, “Pastor, now you have done exactly what you used […]

“TEMI, SEE YOUR MATE…”

About two years into the work of ministry in Eruwa, I travelled to Ibadan and ran into one of my coursemates at the university. We exchanged pleasantries for a bit. He was coming from a court outside the state. We caught up a bit on old times. When we were done, as he drove off, the devil said, “Temi, see […]

FIND SOMETHING TO BE GRATEFUL FOR IN PEOPLE

Some years ago, I came back from a conference organized by a ministry. The convener poured out his heart and showed us things that many would not mention. They were so sensitive and profound that the meeting was not recorded in any form. When I got back to base, I searched for the convener on Social Media and sent a […]

WHEN THE REQUEST OF GOD IS HARD…

Just because we knew that the union between a full-time pastor (who was earning nothing) and a young lady who just finished her service year required foresight, we began to save as much as we could very early in courtship towards our wedding. After about four months, all we had in savings was about forty thousand naira. For us, it […]

“LOVED” OUT OF DIVINE PLAN

I read the story of a man who spotted lava that was about to break out into a butterfly. As he watched the process, he was moved with concern for the lava so he helped to break the shell. It turned out to be a beautiful butterfly but it had no wings to fly. In the process of helping it, […]
