COUNSEL TO PIONEERS (IF YOU ARE STARTING A NEW THING) 7

As we stepped out of the morning session for the biggest event of the year in my spiritual grandfather’s ministry, he spotted me while he was heading to his office with some of the guest ministers. He said, “Son, make sure you see me before you leave”.  It was a tussle getting into the office area because of all the […]

COUNSEL TO PIONEERS (IF YOU ARE STARTING A NEW THING) 6

Some few months into starting in ministry, I needed to help a friend speak with someone but I had no airtime. So I messaged my friend the contact of the person instead. I knew once she mentions my name, she would be attended to. She was shocked that I did not have airtime to make a call. “Ah! Do you […]

COUNSEL TO PIONEERS (IF YOU ARE STARTING A NEW THING) 5

I woke up that morning with a high spirit. There was joy on my inside. It manifested in singing. I kept singing from the house to the church office. I was the only one left at the time- the person working with the office had requested to go try other things.  Then as I opened the door, my heart shook […]

COUNSEL TO PIONEERS (IF YOU ARE STARTING A NEW THING) 4

When the ministry office opened, people would come into the office and request to see the lawyer. I had given up the practice of law but the seriousness with which we worked made them think that the ministry office was a law office. I would get to work very early. I did not dress shabbily. At different times, people would […]

COUNSEL TO PIONEERS (IF YOU ARE STARTING A NEW THING) 3

Before I got into ministry and in the early days of ministry, I thought being a pastor was just about preaching good sermons and I saw myself as a gifted speaker and with my background as a lawyer, I felt it would just happen that people are magnetized by such eloquence and giftedness. For the first few years of ministry, […]

COUNSEL TO PIONEERS (IF YOU ARE STARTING A NEW THING) – 2

When I came into ministry, one of my dear ones was concerned about my welfare and she said to me, “Well! As a pastor, you will be getting invitations to preach and I am sure that with the honorarium, you will be able to keep things going”. She even began to help me calculate how much I can have on […]

COUNSEL TO PIONEERS (IF YOU ARE STARTING A NEW THING) 1 

I asked my grandfather in the faith about 8 years ago, “Sir, if you are to start this great work afresh, what will be your priority?” He looked at me and asked, “Son, do you want to buy a car now?” I replied “No”. “Son, do you want to build a house now?” I replied in the negative. He then […]

THINGS THAT WASTE (VI) – WRONG MINDSETS

I was having a conversation with some of my dear ones and we began to share about things that have limited men in life. We began to share about how our culture and thinking make it hard to accept early accomplishments in life. If a beautiful young lady drives a good car, society believes she must be promiscuous and sleeping […]

THINGS THAT WASTE (V)- SICKNESS

There was a Scottish pastor who was one of the most powerful ministers to ever stand in the pulpits of Edinburgh and Dundee, but he died at the age of twenty-nine, partly because he was weakened by overwork, excessive busyness, and chronic fatigue. He reportedly said as he was dying, “The Lord gave me a horse to ride and a […]

THINGS THAT WASTE (IV) – LUST

In my secondary school days, lust ate up the fabric of my teenage soul. I was inquisitive to a fault. As an avid reader, I got lost in reading things that were quite sexually graphic. I slid eventually into pornography. It messed up my mind. It affected my creativity. It contaminated the flow of inspiration. It affected productivity. Lust is […]
